tbh I think we've lost the war to lfc. Sure we've won record titles and cups, broken recordfs all the way through but from what I see lfc are the new Utd with the media support and nothing will stop that gravy train.

Sure we'll be allowed to be the Arsenal/Chelsea to Utds but I think if we get too big again we're going to get as much shit as we've had the for the last 4 years

It's been an education, I can now see how teams like lfc, utd, barca, juve stay top. Massive media support and massive clickbait keeps them there if they're good enough... No other teams stand a chance really

But we'll see, City have a massive financial backing, and just like the media push for the clickbait clubs to be top we can disrupt that with just spending.


On a separate note... Can someone answer this - Why are City accused of being bankrolled by a country and having the resources of the Middle East, but FFP actually dictates that we CVANNOT spend more than Utd???! Seems odd to me that no fucker in the media has highlighted this, unless I am missing something :?

Can you please explain that last para about FFP and Utd. Its too early for me to understand
 
The thing is that they are now in possession of a very good team that has made them challenge and win a 1st PL title after waiting 30yrs.

However, and especially on social media they have a lot of so-called fans who are just 'plastic' glory hunters and they are the worst kind of cretins you could come across.

The actual fanbase has its own issues, they love to play at being this type of 'ultra' when teams come to their ground, nit understanding that the actual ultras will see all this and if they get the chance to pkay them at theur ground then it will be game on hence what happened - anither big problem is their club actually feeds this type of behaviour into the fans yet the media dare not say anything about it

I dont mind liverpool as a team - they currently are the best and it is up to us to rise to that challenge

Once they have had their time in the sun, the so-called extended fanbase will crawl back under their rocks and put their red shirts away in a draw until they can wear it to feel part of something again.

It makes me laugh that since your title win i have seen people now wearing a liverpool shirt, and putting their kids in a full kit - prior to that.....nothing. You would hardly see one top.

Good team - good fans (ones i know) - the rest of the bolt on fans are very disturbed and just shameful and a joke their to be laughed at. They pronounce their alligence to liverpool but have more than likely never even set foot in liverpool let alone the ground

What new rule?

It hits the top of his forearm or the cuff of his shirt sleeve. It's nowhere near his shoulder. He controls it, it lands, he scores.

I can remember, years ago, in a derby,
when the ball bounced up and scarcely touched Anelka's black gloved hand.
City scored and it would have been the winning goal on the day, but was disallowed for the handball, even though Anelka gained no advantage from the contact.
Still eankles...

At Old Trafford just after Goater had scored? I was in the away end and after so many miserable experiences there, thought we'd won it. Normally, I'm one of those that spot an offside flag or a ref disallowing the goal whilst others celebrate but that day, I completely lost the plot. Red twats.

You're right of course, but there's a question in there. And it's a huge one. How have they been able to maintain that high speed, high pressing game, match after match, month after month? They did it all last season. And the season before, as a matter of fact. For two entire seasons, with no let up, unless you count the matches they lost once they'd won the title at the tail end of last season. And stone me, they're doing it this season. We did it, but we can't maintain it. How is it done? Mysterious…

Really good post. It has indeed been an education. Unfortunately, some of the lads I work with are Liverpool fans from East Yorkshire and due to them being the very people who this media bias is for, they'll never see what we see.

There's one Hull City fan who has, over the past 12 months or so, started to see what I'm on about regarding the difference between reporting on City and Liverpool.

The game against Arsenal the other night typifies what we're up against. No media outrage or even questions asked about Mane's assault on Tierney and almost complete silence on the Jota handball. The commentator says "No handball" and that's that for most people, including the fuckwit that's allowed to post on here.

I still wonder to this day why Richard Scudamore wasn't asked what the "strategic plan to put a new name on the Premier League trophy" consisted of by any of the media. He also famously said that "A poor Manchester United team is bad for the product". Again, why would he get away almost scot-free with this type of statement?

The reason is surely that both statements appeal to the masses who blindly follow the most successful teams who are hardly going to be in uproar about them and the people who are bothered by them are the minority and can be ignored or put down as being paranoid.

I await the first pundit on MOTD to day "You know what, one way to stop Liverpool might be to rough up some of their players. Ramos showed that Salah doesn't like the physical stuff and Robertson, Arnold, Mane seem to get an easy ride from opposition players."

When we were dominating that's what some pundits suggested and over the next couple of months there were about a dozen bad tackles on our players. It's as if the opposition have been warned pre match that one strong tackle against the dippers and it's early bath time. The fact that they have put out almost the same eleven for three seasons, seems to suggest the opposition are going easy on them.

Unfortunately we'll never get the truth from these pundits. They've sold their soul to the media narrative which is: everything the dippers and rags do is perfect and honorable and everything Manchester City do is tainted and ruined.

What you've got to remember is that 99% of the pundits that appear on our television sets would struggle to make minimum wage outside of the footballing fraternity.

So they are more than happy and willing to tow the popular narrative and peddle the propaganda for their £190,000.00 per annum wage.

No, mate, most of us are not at all offended by the team. It's a bloody good one. You were favoured by VAR in the early part of last season, but not to the tune of 18 points or even close to it. Anybody saying the contrary is living in cloud cuckoo land. You were by far and away the best team. The table does not lie.
No, it's getting your supporters' coach bricked that offends me. It's getting your players' coach trashed (and no-one whatsoever arrested by Merseyside police). It's phrases like "This means more" which is symptomatic of a level of arrogance that even our quiet neighbours the rags don't quite aspire to. It's the hysterical cult-like tone that is required on RAWK, and the likes of which I honestly do not see on any other forum. It's the (mainly justified) anger about Hillsborough, and the deafening silence about Heysel that offends me. And above all, it is the unrelenting, astonishing fawning by the media which, surprise, surprise, is made up of a disproportionate number of former Liverpool players, at least on television, some of whom have never said an interesting thing about football in their lives, despite having known how to play it.
Not being Manchester born and bred, I have nothing against the town of Liverpool. I even used to quite like going over there, many years ago. I like the jokes about scousers, but that's just banter.
It's not your team that poses a problem for many supporters up and down the country. Not just City fans. It's your club, and its perceived attitude.

this... except I am from Manchester, and its biggest problem is that it's too close to that cesspit.

... are you Northern Irish or scouse?

I hear you speaking that post sounding just like Nigel Blackwell... not that he's scouse, coming from the Wirral... supports his local team too...

From the Wirral...and my old man when growing up always used to give me a clip round the ear (when parents could get away with that) if ever I spoke with a scouse accent.
Left home at 18 for Uni in london and never lived back there since...now Im just a foreigner over here
