Everyone acting like it’s something new Liverpool spending. They were built on Littlewoods money to bring success in the 70s and 80s. They spent silly in the 90s on the likes of Phil Babb, John Scales and Stan Collymore. Who remembers when they snapped up Senegal players after they had a decent World Cup in 2002 and they all turned out to be shite. Not to mention spending stupid money on Andy Caroll breaking the British transfer record at the time.

Them being all frugal in the 2010s stemmed from Hicks and Gillette nearly managing them into administration. Fenway Sport only wanted the club if there were rules in place to stop City’s spending. If we’d have had the ability to spend the equivalent of what they did in their success years we’d have been a lot closer to them and the rags in the trophy count.

I was meaning compared with us it’s now okay. I agree with everything you say.

Sterling got booed thanks to Liverpool changing the narrative on him when he wanted to leave and portrayed him as a greedy ****. The Daily Heil dutifully pushed this narrative on their behalf and at one point we're writing a daily negative story about him.

Come on. How can anyone not attack a player who nips into Wilmslow for breakfast the morning after arriving home when he and Joe Hart had managed - on their own - to get England eliminated from the world cup?
 
They certainly have a presence in the press. Unsettled a player, plundered any competitors of their talent and instead of questions being asked about the game being distorted, they're praised for it.
 
The premier league was created to guarantee success for a select few affluent clubs.

The idea behinds the PL wasn't to have a free for all, or, to provide a level playing field for clubs lower down the pyramid.

There was always the promise of other clubs breaking into the top three (which became the top four) but it soon became clear this was only a pipe dream.

Blackburn managed it in 1995 after a significant financial investment, and the senior shareholders within the PL were delighted to see that their success was just a one-off, and normal service resumed.

This was the golden goose for the premier league, because the promise of success for all was a reality, while simultaneously keeping the top four status quo firmly fixed in place.

MCFC came along and have irrevocably changed the dynamics of the premier league, and they hate us for it.

So as long as we're perceived to have the audacity to dine at their top table, we will be castigated by those in the media, while our rivals are lauded over. This is why the double standards from the media are off the scale. Of course there are other geopolitical reasons behind this too, not to mention a large dose of racism.

The British Press and the broadcasting media have stuck their flag in the ground, they've decided that any enemy of MCFC is a friend of theirs.
 
They and their American friends at other cartel clubs have manipulated the rules in their favour to the point where they depend with impunity and without criticism and City are reticent to compete in the market and the likes of Villa and Newcastle are forced to sell so as not fall foul of a most skewed set of regulations.

We saw how much abuse Arnold got when he did nothing wrong, he just saw out his contract, which is all you can ask of any player...yet theyre wanking over their new signing who has proven to be a disrespectful **** towards the club he just left.


Awful fanbase.

I’m glad RAWK is now a Liverpool fans only membership forum.

At least I’m no longer tempted to read what the deluded and brainwashed cult have to say about City or other clubs.

I can't speak to stupid people who think that way, it's always better to tell them they are stupid to string them on mentioning sentences to them they obviously don't understand.

This is one of the worst aspects of trying to discuss football with rag/dipper fans: an arrogant refusal
to accept a viewpoint that differs from theirs. It's like a mental disorder, an inability to even acknowledge that there are alternate views to their own. It isn't only the red cartel supporters, definitely not. But to me they are by far the worst.

When it was confirmed that Pep was taking over I had a rag try and tell me he'd be a huge failure. 'The Prem will be the finish of him. He won't be able to hack it.' The usual ill-informed drivel you expect from these people. Ordinarily I would not lower my standards to even engage in dialogue with tunnel-vision cretins like this, but I let him have his rant. And I must admit it was an informative rant: well, informative in as much as the knowledge of the club he claimed to support was almost non-existent.
I can't remember the exact details but he argued that the rags had never been relegated, that they were the first British club to win a European trophy, that the pisscan won the league in his very first season...I mean, FFS! You don't expect a fan to know every detail about the club they support, but you do expect him or her to have a basic understanding of the club's history and its achievements.

I had a modicum of sympathy for the man (great studio engineer, worked with Alan Parsons apparently), but his stupidity had everyone taking the piss for weeks afterwards.
 
For as good as their window has been, in another multiverse, the performances in each of the games they have played thus far would have seen them probably pick up a maximum of 3 or 4 points, not 9.

They are not playing well at all and remind me of how we were playing at the start of last season when we went 5 or 6 without defeat, but we didn't really play well in most of the games and probably should have dropped points in some of the games we won. It was inevitable the law of averages was going to kick for us to go on a period of dropping points. I just didn't expect it to be 1 win in 14.

In fact, I don't even think there is a standout team yet in the league.
 
Keeping track of what they say and how they are doing is like bringing an ugly bird back.

No matter how much you keep looking you're just gonna get upset. I'm gonna flip over and keep to myself until she leaves.

Of course they believe it. They've been drip fed the same old rhetoric for years.

I find it incredibly that people like your work mate can keep a straight face when they come out with this kind of nonsense.

If only they knew. The rags haven't been a successfully run club for over twenty years.

Anyone with a modicum of fiscal knowledge will tell you that, a business operating with an exponential debt of £1B is not sustainable.

This is the real elephant in the room, and there's a very good reason the media keep it out of the public domain. It enables people like your work colleague to perpetuate the myth, and subsequently make a complete fool of themselves.

Its not like theyve played medicore teams though is it? Bournemouth Newcastle and Arsenal 9 points from playing them first 3 teams isnt bad tbh, I expect them to have more comfortable wins once they have easier fixtures.
