try not to laugh....from rawk

City supporters are by far the worst set of fans in the country, absolutely vile. Actively chanting the name of a homophobic human rights abuser who aids Russian oligarchs and is best buds with war criminal al assad. They're far worse than their neighbours, however annoying United fans have been in the past, City fans have become tools for an autocracy, brainwashed and backward in their thinking. Constantly justifying their disgusting beliefs through warped whataboutery and accusations of xenophobia, trivialising racism and normalising human rights abusing autocracies as they go

These cnuts are the very definition of projection.

Had a little peek at Rawk for shits and giggles. Found this little gem and could almost hear the littl pieces of their hearts breaking....

"That is the most horrible timeline.

They'll sign Bellingham too, Haaland will break every record and Klopp will leave.

Might as well just close football off now"

Almost got a violin out but then remembered how much they hated us and laughed instead.

They must think the footballing world revolve around them. Closing football just because they can't compete. He must not know there are 18 other teams in the league, and even more outside of it. At the time of writing, Arsenal is still ahead of us on the table, so it's not like we are sweeping the competition.
 
Did the dippers really think that Bellingham would sign for them ?

At his age he needs a good coach to improve his career. To be playing at the top.

Klopp would just run him into the ground plus Bellingham would run the risk of becoming asthmatic. I cant thin of any young player klopp has improved in fact most seem to have gone down hill.

But it was all tickety boo in the 70s and 80s to have no competition. Now there is competition - very high performance elite and entertaining competition (the most exciting finishes and run ins in top flight history), and they don't like it.

When’s the last time they bought a world class talent who was also sought by all Europe’s best clubs? Never. Not once. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

Fernando Torres was very good signing for Liverpool, can’t remember if the whole of Europe was in for him, they managed to extract a lot of money out of Chelsea where he was terrible.

I would argue that Torres was a good prospect at Athletico who went to another level with them but there was nowhere near the same interest as with Bellingham. I’m not disputing that they’ve made what ultimately became good signings.

I would say Torres, when he signed for Liverpool, was on a par with Aguero when he signed for us. Sought after, talented, a coming force, but not perceived as the finished article, and untried in another league. It was certainly a coup for them to sign him, and what a player he was until that injury - after which he was never the same player. Not even close.

Says a lot about Sergio that he adapted his game in the way he did after injuries and the ageing process took some of his pace away from him.

Peak Sergio, which I would say was 2013/14, when fit, was an absolute joy to behold. At that point, the best footballer to ever play for this club. A complete striker. Feel so privileged to have seen a player of that quality lead the line for City.
 
Liverpool crying about City and not being able to afford Bellingham. The reality is they could have but they’ve made the wrong decisions which ultimately comes down to how the club is managed. City have their model of having a strong youth set up where they can sell on players who don’t make the grade and keep making money afterwards from them (here’s looking at you Sancho). We also have acquired good squad players where we can get our money back if not more like Jesus and Zinchenko, we will probably get good money for Laporte in the summer and pick up a few from Bernardo if he sadly moves on.

Liverpool have their model of money ball, scout good players get a bounce on the pitch from them and then move them on for big money, which they have done in the past with Suarez, Sterling and Coutinho. This allowed them to go spend big on the likes of Van Dijk, Nunes and Allison. Trouble is they have held onto players when they could have been extracting money out of other teams. Salah should have never been given a contract, they sold Mane instead for peanuts and he sits on the bench at Bayern which would depress me if I supported Liverpool as he was probably their most important player. Van Dijk won’t have anywhere near the resale value he had and will probably toddle off into the sunset for nothing at the end of his contract .

Point being is they could have afforded Bellingham, the mechanism they had to afford him they stopped applying as they tried to keep hold of ageing players who have been flogged to death for nearly 6 years in a system where you need to be able to run all day. It’s not City’s fault this they should be looking inward at Klopp and Fenway Sports.
