Complete contempt. No other comment :)

"It was a joke to wind up Micah Richards as that’s the nature of our show on CBS" according to spitty.

"It was a joke to wind up Micah Richards as that’s the nature of our show on CBS" according to spitty.

To complete the thought for him: "it was a joke to pretend to wind up Micah Richards who pretends to give a fuck because he is a two-faced clown because that's the pathetic nature of our worthless show".

Finally, I agree with him on something.

Yeah, that’s about right. That whole show is like children’s hour. So at last Micah has something he can contribute to.

Utd drop points, arsenal lost, England played Australia in cricket and lost, England beat Scotland is a six nations game and there was 2 boxing fights on last night for titles. And little City is front page, what a way to switch the narrative for the red cunts.

So true.

Man City: Why Pep Guardiola's tactics stopped working amid rise of rapid football

BBC Sport analyses why Pep Guardiola's possession-focused tactics have stopped working amid the rise in rapid, direct football.

www.bbc.co.uk

Apparently Pep football has been found out and has been superseded by faster direct football. We have been here before, this is no different to the old “that way won’t work in the premier league” when he first arrived. Instead it does work once he has the right players and they have time to adapt. No one could live with it and so they copied it and they still are doing that.

I have to confess that I think the BBC coverage of city is generally quite fair unlike the rest of the media and I don’t think this article is anti-city bias, I just think it is wrong.

Come on Blue, they despise City, just like talkshite do any the rest of the media.

 

[eastmanc]

The dips have one tactic if you can call it that, launch it down the right wing for Salah to chase. That’s basically it.

Which is what a lot of City fans want City to do.

 

[eastmanc]

To add to this rant as well I find it baffling that everyone in media thinks this is the end of the Pep era


They never learn

Can't wait for all of them crying into their club blankets claiming it's not fair and how can we compete etc etc etc bah bah bah

So true Danny boy.

 

[west didsblue]

Hopefully we won’t be launching it for Salah to chase today. Doesn’t sound like a great idea at all.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Wonder is Spitty will be on the side of the pitch today. Will fucking shit himself wont he when Pep rocks up in his CP coat and goggles

Pep has been more direct since we signed Haaland. In style terms our treble team was very different to the 17/18 team. Football is evolving all the time.

Don’t mistake perception of feeling with the actual reporting. I’m not saying the reporting is biased towards us (I get plenty of that on here and with City YouTubers and there is nothing wrong with consuming that).

For instance the 115 case reporting has been disgraceful across the media. It’s all been with presumed guilt and punishments and little details whereas the bbc run with:

Man City hearing: Premier League 115 charges case to begin on Monday

Manchester City's trial on 115 charges of breaking Premier League rules is set to begin on Monday. BBC Sport looks at why it matters and how we got here.

www.bbc.co.uk

Which of course mention possible punishments but also balance that with consequences for the league if we win, they also break the charges down into the five charges they actual are and they detail the club’s responses (I rarely even see that outside our own media).

As for TalkSport I’m with you all the way there pal and don’t get me started on Sky Sports or the tabloids.

There is a wider issue of unashamedly echo chamber news coverage like we see in the US coming over here and we are also seeing the consequences of that.

Maybe, although he never minded the odd long pass from Ederson through to Aguero. The false 9 stuff was utilised until he got a striker he was happy with. With Pep in all about making the best of his personal and winning.

 

[Blueboy73]

Two observations:

If Haaland has it so easy, why doesn't Salah play more centrally?

First Carragher, now Salah... littke City tying up the biggest player in the Premier League has really pissed on their chips.

Haaland has won almost as many trophies in two full seasons at City than the diving Peter Sutcliffe lookalike cheat has won seven full seasons with the grief monkeys.
Take the league cup out of the equation which is apparently shit when they don't win it and he's won more.
Padded out his stats this season with seven penalties mainly won by the likes of him and the other cheat Jota diving whenever an opponent breathes on them.

There are just so many factual errors in that article it is impossible to take it seriously. Dan Roan is truly appalling. It is not just his snidely tone. Much of the content is just false. There appear to be no editorial controls at BBC online.

The only thing Roan is good at is mocking dead people and making grovelling insincere apologies when called out for it.

With regards to the 115 it's more they want us to be guilty come what may.

Launching it never. Long pass is different.

Alex keble tactical genius. Maybe pep should ask him for tips?

Roan claims that Pinto said he had millions of documents relating to City. This is just not true. The Pinto case was nothing to do with City. None of the multiple charges against Pinto relate to City. Pinto was not found guilty. He admitted extortion and made a plea deal. Der Spiegel published six emails and a lot of innuendo. The BBC narrative has been twisted and distorted all the way through.
