[burning blue soul]

Yes read that, total bullshit. Travel the world at the moment and a lot more of our players would be recognised !

It reads like it's taken out of the rag Cup final match programme.
So much excellent journalism sacrificed at the altar of outdated ragism.

Mike Henson is currently working from home confined to his bedroom as he’s stuck fast to the jizz coating his crass of 92 duvet set. Epicly desperate stuff with a journalistic standard befitting the comic the MEN has become.

Those photographs are absolute shite.

Where's the one with Tevez sticking his arm up camel gobs arse?
Even a pic of the Rooney shinner would be expected in there.
But, a group of badly dressed footballers on their way somewhere is chosen, and Pep on a bike? Van Persie.... Good grief. Its diabolical.

Having just been in Italy the snide football shirt sellers didn’t have one PL kit on view apart from one and that was the sky blue No 9 with Haaland on the back.

I saw Phil’s face plastered on aftershave adverts with not a current rag, dipper or Gooner players fizog to be seen.

Tides turning just a lot are still bathing in the easy waters with their backs to it.

Seriously mate priorities, the bigwigs at city have created history in literally every sporting area of the club and have provided best in class in all facets of the club bar maybe the media team if the only thing we can have a pop at them for is that some absolute waste of space journalists say some mean things about us then we are doing okay, id much rather where we are now than years ago when we were everyones favourite second team because we knew our place and didnt rattle any cages.

I meant our media team pal obviously not the owners or Khaldoon. Surely they have a say on what is allowed to be reported on City. Some of the shit is borderline slander

Surely the taxi driver said Nobby Steelez ….

Washed up fucking hasbeens. I hope we embarrass those cunts this weekend!

On one of the many City are cheats stories in the telegraph I reminded a Scouser who continually sticks the boot in of his own clubs shortcomings. I quoted the hacking scandal, the ffp Stanley Park fiddle and their money laundering sponsors, he was having none of it and they were falsehoods. I gave a reply back but unfortunately it was automatically deleted, probably because my final quote was ' never your fault'.
The Telegraph along with the BBC and other media outlets think that cheats, Lance Armstrong etc are fine but make a comment that will upset the thin skinned Scousers and it's deleted.

That is GENIUS.

Yep. The bots are programmed to immediately delete posts with such ‘trigger words’. Happens all the time with the Telegraph and The Times. They are all just totally petrified of the scousers.

But, not slander, so a waste of time

I must get rid of my spell checker, falt=fault.

Syed must have been reading on here yesterday...

Sorry, guys. Think I triggered a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon by triggering the ****.

Hi Matthew, you ****.

Slightly odd article in the Guardian.

Nothing much wrong with it, as it's pretty positive, and simply talks about the contribution of the whole squad to the FA Cup run.

The only thing I find odd is that City used less players than United (26 to 22 or 21 to 20 if you take out subs who only played a few minutes). Guess it's just filler, with half a dozen pre-match articles for each team, and he was given City to cover - but it does feed the big squad myth.

Why Manchester City owe their FA Cup run to the power of the collective

While a strong side will start at Wembley on Saturday, a rotating cast has helped propel City through the earlier rounds

Think Will Unwin's a blue, no?

@mickthehack

He’s great on twitter though his crime posts can be a little grim just because of the nature of it.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Has the Daily Mail rehashed the reason why City won’t have any Emirates Fa cup logos on the shirt for their readers to get angry about yet?

 

[JULES]

Not that I’m especially arsed how ‘massive‘ we (or any other club) are in South America, but other sad fucks clearly are - hence the lie.

I am, and I see it every day

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Yet more bullshit on the BBC website this morning about photographs of City and utd players.
Some geezer called Mike Henson has put his name to it.
The underlying narrative is that City pics don't sell, and the world wakes up to utd pics.
I'm actually in admiration for the multitude of different negative news directions the media Johnny's can create to have a pop at us and massage the rags ego's. It takes journalistic shithousery to new levels.
Every day there is a new one.

This article is just as low as it gets. Absolutely ludicrous. How it has even made a story I don’t know.

Well I do know because the rag hordes want to hear that they are big and we are small so they made an article up !

 

[ballbag]

If you have to go out of your way to create the narrative that we are a small club and post about it every day, then you're already losing.
