They can't wait to stick the boot in, with their infamous 'club sources.' The Mail ones are particularly bad.

for those that don't want to click on those links, let me summarise.

Mancini will be sacked.
Aguero and Silva are going back to Spain.
Balotelli is hated by fans and players and is now 'up for sale.'
Dzeko is an (and I quote) "unmitigated disaster."
Un***d can do no wrong, and there is a picture with captions saying they were all laughing at City.

Edit update: I know it's the Shitty Star but if anyone can read this without getting angry, I salute them!

Quotes: "the fact City have blown £400million in their quest to hit the peak of English football means the general public are against them."

"I still think a lot of people in this country would prefer us to win the league rather than City, in the sense that people feel that it’s a sport and you can’t just buy success."

That first Mail one is ridiculous. They aren't even trying to hide their bias.

Club sources probably Bluemoon ITKs who create endless threads about Mourinho.
 
I sure as hell won't be clicking on any of those for a read. It won't say anything that hasnt been said on here tonight anyway and to be fair that performance deserves to get stick.

Dzeko is an unmitigated disaster apparently. Sergio and Silva want to go home.etc etc.

I wouldn't mind if they criticise the performance. That's what they are there for to criticise and appraise, but they are the equivalent of the football phone-in. And they get paid and they influence
