Even if this was accurate (it isn’t), or was even a legitimate financial measure (it isn’t), or had any relevance when comparing success (it doesn’t), the chart shows that for less than twice Liverpool’s net spend City has more than twice the major trophies and five times the premier league titles.

So their point is City is a better run club.

we did have journalists onboard Harris was one and david Conn another they all turned for one reason or another i guess there was more

Na, Conn was always following the coin, would you expect any Sky Four top team journalist to write a book along the lines of "Richer than god"? Especially when the Dippers, Rags, Tarquins and especially the Chav's were splashing the cash.

Conn by name, Con by nature and I'd believe Keith Harris alter ego Orville the Duck more than the **** you think was one of our more positive Journalists.

Nothing personal, everyone entitled to an opinion.

They've obviously given Arsenal the 6 points already, it's only ever been about us having to win all our last 3 games. That's been the media narrative for a while now

This is a shocker from the MUEN. Even called us 'boring' in the 1st half against Spuds. Shocker if an article from a Manchester newspaper.

Just WTF is that? Seriously, more like something you'd see in the Echo...

Really don't care who's been top long enough, only matters on one day. In fact, I'm kind of OK with not being top. Reminds me of Paula Radcliffe sat on the shoulder, head bobbing and weaving and you just knew she was comfortable to push on when it mattered.

Why use the Klipperty expression "Mentality Monsters?"

Oh, absolute peaches like "The Blues have vehemently denied the accusations from the top flight and it is understood they are preparing evidence to prove their innocence.

However, should the unthinkable happen from a City perspective and they are found guilty, the punishment could end up being catastrophic. The charges against City are unprecedented so there is no way of knowing what could be handed down"

So if there is no way of knowing how the unthinkable can happen how could they be catastrophic?

I’m amazed at Sky’s line up on Sunday the two of the three games their showing is unbelievable.. but probably not klopps farewell is fookin embarrassing, too be honest if we was in arses position we’d be fuming. Also showing Chelsea v b’mouth ??.
Unless I’m wrong .

Hi mate, hope you are well, TNT had second pick and have chosen the Tarquin's game. Sky picked us then went for their default Dipper game which has no jeopardy in the result.

Really surprised the Rags or Newcastle weren't selected, would have made more sense than the Dipper game. Just shows how out of touch Sky are, showing a complete dead rubber instead of a game that could mean something, desperate to keep the Dippers onside.

It is odd isnt it?? Though tv bought packages like Early kick offs Saturday or groups/rounds of fixtures.

Informative post.

I do like that last line. He can take refuge at City for as long as he wants -:)

“You can check out anytime, but you can never leave”.

Blue champagne on ice for Pep.

That said, amazed by Don Henley, sort of a Stefan Ortega-Moreno in the back.

 

[cheekybids]

He's the vile creature who mocked the Leicester chairman chairman as he lay Dean in his burning helicopter.

Should never have been in broadcasting a day longer !!

Disgusting lying bitter hypocrite !!

In the era of over the top cancel culture how the fuck did he get away with this. They can’t say it looks like a few Liverpool fans had fakes for fear of the reaction but you can mock people dying in a helicopter crash.

TBF some City fans have been far from whiter than white over the years. Thankfully it's all but disappeared.

 

[Roy Munson]

It's getting silly now. The amount of stuff coming out since the win at Spuds around the charges is 100% orchestrated.

Mind you, this hairy 'daughters best mate shag nasty' is punchable at the best of times......

Awful to think that Keys' finger in this picture has been inside his daughter's best friend.

 

[Shirley]

MUEN went downhill when Stuart Brennan left. Although he is a rag he is was one of the more objectional reporters for City. As for the actual paper I will be a having a party when it goes under.

They’re running an article that the bishops blaize is the best pub in the country with glowing reviews

Maybe they were cancelled ;)

Its a shame they only did the big 6, I’d quite like to see how Jurgens efforts stacked up against Leicester City.

IMO the only “failure” of Sheikh Mansour’s ownership has been a very naive approach to vitriolic media coverage and not building a positive public image of the club. Once Garry Cook departed, we had a senior leadership team who were outsiders to the local media scene and the tight networks of pundits, “journalists” and commentators - who were skilfully mobilised against us by our rivals. We stood aloof focusing on our plan while they systematically trashed our reputation. Everything else the club has done has been superb, but this has been a clear mistake.
It’s not too late, a good PR agency and media relations/public image team could repair most of the damage done. The point when we are cleared of these ridiculous charges would be the perfect place to start the turn-around.

To be fair he probably doesn't give a fuck about a group of sad fucks in the british and american press or the twitter cranks.

he owns many multi billion pound companies and Khaldoon chairs several internationally reknowned businesses

I expect the moronic tales of liew and vitriol of delaney don't even register to them.

it only bothers us because we see it daily.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Same happened to me in Kefalonia today, I said to a young local lady working in the bar that I'm from Manchester and her response was wow the best football team ever is City , I love them !!

Did you marry her there and then.........?

 

[Newman Noggs]

When people ask how blues can keep reading or listening to all the vitriol in the media, I can only answer for me, but I love it. Sure, it bothered me at first, but bit by bit, as City have become more successful both on and off the field, regardless, I've come to enjoy it.

The overtly histrionic public displays of the likes of Goldbridge are only a manifestation of what is going on in the heads of Roan, Liew, Harris and every other united, liverpool and Arse supporter. Look at Roan's face when he's delivering his bile, it's contorted with an all-consuming hatred. The "journalistic" equivalent of Klopp. It's an expression on the face of every anti-city writer, poster or blogger as they hammer impotently at their keyboard every time we win or even score a goal. It's visceral and pure and it lifts my heart with every word.

But maybe that's just me.

 

[radcliffe1309]

Very tempting.....however my Mrs of 32 years might of had something to say about that lol

To all the bastards in the media with a love for Man United, Liverpool, The Arse and the Moronic mob on social media, the paragraph below explains their behaviour very succinctly.

Bitter people aren't glass half-full or glass half-empty people. To their minds, some malicious bastard has drunk the other half of their glass. Often, bitter and twistedness arises when people have done very well for themselves for some years and then things go wrong. They forget that in life, just as in the stock market, past results are no guarantee of future performance. They begin to believe that the glittering prizes are theirs by divine right. And when these don't materialise, the bitterness sets in.

Source. The Guardian, 2002, 27th September. How to be bitter and twisted.

So, we are the malicious bastard that drunk the other half of their glass. Long may the malicious drinking continue. Hurrah!

mUen headline

At least four Man City players could say farewell during West Ham final day fixture

When you read the article, the players suggested are Stefan, Scott Carson, Sergio Gomez and Kalvin Phillips - scaremongering at the lowest level

 

[blue b4 the moon]

BBC NWT giving Klopp a dedicated segment each night this week to mark his farewell. Last night's focus was his connection to the local community - his "adopted city", as they call it. Tonight it's his "football legacy". All arse licking interviews and brown nosing. Might as well move the programme from Salford to Dipperland, the amount of coverage they give them lot.

Repeated this shit on BBC brekkie on the national feed.

Thank fuck they bottled it again it's bad enough now, time on Bolton, Crewe and even the rags had a mention on the local news behind Klopp....I was expecting them if the had anytime left to fill in with stuff about Chadderton FC going to Portugal to unwind next..... anything but mention us going for a 4 timer.
