The real story should be that we have competed for the title without our most influential player all season , we took all competitions seriously and hence we have a very good chance of the first domestic treble ever ,we have pulled back a ten point deficit with a 13 match winning run , we have the joint best defence in the league even taking into account our defence can be "got at" , we have scored 50 goals more this season than another teams "best front three in the world" and we havent had opposing keepers throwing the ball in their own net to get three vital points.
But the above doesnt sell newspapers or generate clicks , so best to ignore.
All fake news :+)
 
The Telegraph reports on City are a bit of a mixed bag. Jason Burt is very complimentary in his report on the game and City in general. Paul Hayward was doing OK until he let slip that City are a "sovereign wealth project" which means he believes City are owned by a country rather than a private equity company with no access whatsoever to a sovereign wealth fund.

Then there is a pictorial listing by somebody called Charlie Eccleshare on the "Ten key moments that helped decide the title". Those involving City include Vinny should have been red carded v Liverpool, Southampton should have had a penalty with score at 1-1 at St Marys, City "on the ropes" and "riding their luck" v Spurs at home, and Lamela and Iheanacho missing late sitters with City leading 1-0.

Those involving Liverpool include them being denied a penalty (oh, the irony) when Keita went down in the box v Leicester as well as the Vinny incident. No mention of the opposition goalkeeping howlers, the offside goals being allowed to stand, the serial penalty dives by Salah and Mane and the Fabinho dive for the free kick that led to the winner at Newcastle without which City would have effectively been confirmed as champions last Monday evening.
Hayward was in the same pub as us last night.
Recognised him but couldn’t place the name. As we left one of our group remembered who he was. I wanted to go back in and give him a piece of my mind, but the others stopped me.

Obviously there are no pictures of Laporte celebrating what proved to. be THE goal that sealed it ! Utter tossers.
 
Thank goodness City won the title. Just think how many fawning articles about Liverpool there would be in the press this week.

No offence to real Liverpool fans, but, Dear Lord, the number of scribblers and pundits who talk up Liverpool to the detrement of others really give their club a bad name.
 
Enjoy the pain of the media just having report on the Champions of England for a few hours before they can pretend football doesn't exist, until Liverpool are involved in something again.

Probably no more than there were anyway.
 
Bloke has his kid in his arms and the idiot screams language like that in front of them.

Numpty should have been given a slap.
Yeah but that lad has only said what we all feel at the minute, the Scouse ****s have been hanging on to our coat tails like a bad smell all season.
I'm sure that little nipper hears that tenfold if he goes to the etihad to watch us and I've had my kids watch in the family stand a couple of times and the language was spicy to say the least and thats from me who swears like a trooper.
 
Who won goal of the season on MOTD last night? On the summary montage they showed all of the goals in chronological order but put Salah’s last (then reverted to the correct order for the full goals)
