Pep Guardiola on the title race: “If Liverpool win the Premier League it would have been an incredible achievement, when Man City win it it’s ‘ok’. We won the most incredible Premier League ever.”

Think Bobby Manc might have gone down that route.

It’s difficult not to feel some sympathy for Watford in all of this, as preparations for a special day in the club’s history have been greatly overshadowed.

Part of that is down to modern football.... Much of it, however, is down to the modern Manchester City.​


I think we've peaked here. Miguel Delany is blaming the media ignoring the FA Cup final on City. If only someone had the power to talk about the FA Cup in a national newspaper instead of writing a 10th article about players singing a song. Someone like....The Chief Football Writer of the fucking Independent.

Journo social media currently decrying Man City tribalism by banding together and expressing strong loyalty to their own profession. Tagging each other in social media posts and sneering at the mental deficiencies of inhumane monsters who can't even enjoy their own success.

This success which we are told is deficient because it has been won by:
a) employing the best people;
b) creating a working environment that gets the best from people;
c) being better than everyone else but not better than everyone else 30 years ago;
d) not scoring enough long range goals;
e) not bricking enough buses because actually engaging in violence is morally superior than singing about other people being violent;
f) not finishing second;
g) winning stuff.

At the same time as being criticised for rushing to the defence of Abu Dhabi we are told we shouldn't be answering for them whilst at the same time being asked to justify why we still go to games. Defending the team you support against claims you consider to be harsh or simply attempting to add context is seen as the worse kind of tribalism and is indefensible.

In the face of what we consider to be increasing hostility and agenda driven determination to undermine and punish our club, for mostly acting like every other club in the world was able to for all of history with the exception of about 3 years, we are told to look for balance and see the other side. This is from a media that has largely been blind and deaf to what our criticism of UEFA is about and is surprised every time they hear is boo the Champions League anthem.

Although to be fair the pouncing on the old and easily disprovable news articles about NYT being part owners of Liverpool was embarrassing. I hope those fans that did that lose their jobs as professional journalists or researchers or whatever they do for a living. Although this is a lot less embarrassing then either being unaware of or knowingly ignoring the lobbying and petitioning of our rivals who have ex employees in positions of influence and power. None of that proves an agenda obviously but does offer some explanation as to why we as City fans might be a little upset.

The press are currently acting like a man insisting their dog is a big old softy whilst it is currently sat in your kids pram taking a dump with the remains of your partially eaten favourite child.

Just post a pic of the shirts players and fans wore in support of the racist Suarez

Muted some of the worst dickheads on Twitter, and it feels cathartic. Roan, Ronay, Delaney, Brewin, Harris x 2, Glendenning...

I just didn't go on twitter the day of the Allez video, and it is amazing how much you realise players are right when they say that if you don't pay attention, it doesn't exist.

However when you realise that these people have a large platform with which they spread half baked opinions it is depressing. None of these people actually have an understanding of FFP, you can tell that as soon as you hear them on the radio or podcasts they often misspeak or trip over basic things. None of them have any authority to discuss incredibly complex geo-political issues either, and yet through a blue tick on twitter, radio and podcasts they make millions of football fans think their opinion is actually more important than the random bloke in the corner of the pub.
