No but I think Chelsea lost, something to do with their players wearing sari's I think

It's funny how the RDAHMeedya focus on the dreadful performance of the team we have just battered. 606, while I'm waiting for those bastards in Blue Car Park to get out of my way, just wanted to talk about how poor CFC were. I didn't think they were that bad. They'd have beaten a lot of the teams that have been to the Etihad this season. They wanted CFC fans to phone in, and then they finally got to a couple of City phonees! The Times this morning is very scathing about Chelsea. They awarded them something like 38 out of 110 (we got 98!), and the back four got 2 each I think. They weren't that bad - it's just that for once we converted nigh on every thing that came our way!

I listened to Ts, I love their jealousy and bitterness and confusion after we win. True to form all they talked about was Chelsea and how they're in crisis. MCoist did manage to mention how good Ageuro has been but the co-commentator replied with how poor Luiz was and Hazard. Job done, TS listeners & presenters didnt have a good Sunday and Monday morning.

I had Talkshite on for the first time in a long time this morning as I've driven to Glasgow
Cascarino was on later and waxed lyrical about us
He can't understand how we've been beaten four times and said if Liverpool win the league it's a bigger achievement than Leicester winning the Prem because we are that good.
 
BBC main football headlines.
Some ex Manure player taking over at Oldham and OGS is the nicest person in football.

We’ve been successful for around 6 years now it will take years of dominance domestically and abroad to get anything remotely near the viewing figures those teams achieve. Football has changed with the television money and no team will have continued success like before which is a good thing. Our fan base is aging you only have to look at that in the ground. The new North stand expansion as far as I’m aware still hasn’t been given the go ahead and if the pricing isn’t right we won’t fill it.

Care to back that up with some actual data.
Our games are amongst the most watched overseas.
 
Have you got any data to say our games our the most watched? Perhaps because we’re on television every week it doesn’t make them followers of the club. The point I’m making is there isn’t enough City representation on the Sky panel something that doesn’t appear to be about to change despite our recent success and the best football the premier league has ever seen. Sky would prefer to put pundits on who have played for a club that have won nothing for a long time and give biased comments to keep fans of those clubs happy.

The flip-side of that is fill it with circa £300 - £700 season tickets and we'd have regular crowds of 63,000 which would be the 2nd highest in England and one of the biggest crowds in Europe.

Against Rotherham and Burnley we got huge crowds from what looked like non-seasoncard holders to me i.e. new fans.

In the last few years we have hammered dozens of teams scoring four or more goals including: Liverpool, Shakhtar, Monaco, Feyenoord, Borussia Monchengladbach, Napoli, Stoke, Watford, West Ham, Bournemouth, Burnley, Palace, Leicester etc etc and the post-match media narrative has almost always been about how poor the opposition was. Contrast the way Liverpool's huge 3-0 defeat of Bournemouth was reported or United's win at Fulham.

I think that is the way it has to go if we want to fill a larger capacity. We need to continue to get the kids in they are the future in terms of match going fans. I just hope they don’t ever have to witness the shit football I saw in the early days.

I don't think we're at the top in the UK.

There was something last year about our matches being the most-watched in the US. Not sure if it was a cumulative audience offhand.

There was this from a couple of years back, only the US so don't know where we stand globally but it's a decent indicator on how popular City have become ( across the pond at least)

From my experience foreign broadcasters don't tend to pander to the red filth ( both of them) anywhere near as much as domestic broadcasters

Unfortunately I refuse to listen to the red broadcasters and have the sound off when we’re playing. My blood pressure can’t take it
