Loving the tears at the moment
115 out with asterisk everywhere …..it’s all they have
They start with ‘is City the best premier league team ever?’
Then they say they are up there but……
Teams not as good as united, arsenal, Chelsea etc
Easier to win…..
Big sqaud
Money
Pep

Forgetting the points totals suggests were miles ahead

Two minutes later Liverpool and Klopp are the best thing ever and the points totals they got make them one of best teams ever. Just competing with city puts them up there
 
Amazing how many times the 115 and the word “asterisk” have come up recently when hearing about City.

The media in the UK, esp the red-loving football hordes with bylines, are desperate to find a manner in which the unbelievable football…and the results that have flowed on from it…can be minimized and denigrated.

They ignore the fact that it is humans, not $ bills, that play football, and that it is their skill combining and playing football as never before seen in England that has created the greatest football dynasty in modern history.

These very same people told us Pep couldn’t succeed in England, then taunted us with “I told you so!” after his first season. Since then, they have been made to look like fools, and eat both their words and their hats, as he has set record after record after record…Oh, and he single-handedly changed the way every team and every child in England plays football.

Imagine being a Red fan.

Imagine the pain you’d have felt watching City win almost everything and being the favorites for every game they’ve played for years…and proving the bookies right most of the time.

Imagine watching us not only finally winning the Champions League, but doing it to cap a season where we beat Arsenal to the Premier League and beat United in the first FA Cup Final Manchester derby for The Treble.

Now, imagine we are on the verge of perhaps following that Treble with the English Double by doing the exact same thing…beating Arsenal to the Premier League and United in the second consecutive Manchester Derby FA Cup Final.

Imagine how exquisite THAT pain must feel.

And, as the cherry on the top, imagine if City’s success has been so good, your adored closest rival for the past few years has simply packed it in, downed tools, and called it a day, because he’s just sick and tired of losing to City, even though “his teams would have won multiple Premier League titles”…if it were not for the continued excellence of City.

imagine, 4 out of 4 and 6 out of 7.

Imagine THAT pain.

Delicious, isn’t it?!

And yet we wonder why they are ALL clinging to 115? It’s all they have left, the poor bastards.

Their tears are so salty, they water the mouth as they go down.

Mmmmm, truly delicious!

Their opinions like any dipper or rag are utterly irrelevent, they dont matter. All that matters is that City are in a truly golden age that our fans could of only dreamt of 20 years ago. So just enjoy it and even better enjoy the pain of the red legacy clubs as we are ruining their dreams and distroying their hope, truly wonderful.

The legacy clubs are lauded by the media who are fans of the "LEGACY CLUBS", do we really think Villa,Spurs,West Ham,Chelsea fawn over Dipper 80s or Trafford 90s ,no they effin don't and I certainly don't need Paul Merson or Paul Robinson s validation.
We have the best run club in world and the best manager who has spent his peak managerial years with us, that's all the validation I need.

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.

It's fact though, not opinion. Conn was flown out to Abu Dhabi and given an interview with Khaldoon. They shared financial information with Nick Harris before he had his meltdown. They tried to get other "serious" journalists onside.

The strategy ultimately failed its fair to say, but 100% it happened.

Dominic King on talksport now about Klopp.

Saying that the way the city connects with its managers is unique, be it Liverpool or Everton.

What the fuck does that even mean?

Well plenty of them wanted to connect with Loris Karius, or are goalies different in some way?

Conn's book was published in June 2012 so it didn't take him long to start his weird take on the Club he was supposed to support. My sister bought me the book for Christmas, I'd had enough of him by then so in the bin it went without turning a page. Our owners probably knew at that stage there was no point in cosying up to the Media so a big "fuck you" seems to be the strategy, I'm actually happy with that, we don't need sycophantic praise off anyone.
 
Harris, Delaney, Liew, Conn, Ronay, etc. Who cares?

This is what Johan Cruyff had to say about Pep. Yeah, you know Johan Cruyff.

“Guardiola wants to make football better, to take his team to another level. He played in the third team back then (when he was given his first-team debut at Barcelona in 1990), and physically he was nothing, but he knew how to help himself with the right movement. And this experience in turning disadvantages into advantages distinguishes him as a coach. To me, he’s one of the best in the world. What is really outstanding about Guardiola is that he doesn’t force his style of football onto his team. He analyses what is best for the team, utilises the special details and through that leads them to the greatest possible success. It’s no coincidence that Spain won the 2010 World Cup with seven of Guardiola’s players, and now Germany with six or seven of his players.”

This is why we are going for four in a row.

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!

'Tis a cracking beer too!! Pass that other half, and fuck 'em...
