That's all folks.

[@city_rabin] "Anyhow people have asked me if I am some sort of a spy or being paid by anyone to target some reporters. The answer is a resounding no, I am not. All of the info I've gone through are in the public domain and I've also taken the time to reproduce the source every time.

Truth isn't subjective but how people perceive it is based on who carries the truth to the people. This puts a big responsibility on those who report news but today it is absolutely OK to twist any fact to justify a narrative. Ppl like Ewan MacKenna don't bother with evidence.

Sports journalists have become human rights advocates overnight, they have become socialists decrying money in football all because their favourite team lost. If City has run afoul of the FFP, I'm sure they will be punished and City can and will handle it.

But before any pronouncement of guilt, a vast section of the media have decided that City's success is tainted. They don't even hide this...it doesn't matters. FFP or not. It doesn't feel like a sporting event, the fans are puppets in a global project. Evidence be damned."

Get this guy a statue outside the ground. Not because it is City he is defending but because he's showing these agenda-driven scum for what they are. Journalists are supposed to speak truth to power, not defend the powerful against the truth. #****s

You can tell a casual football fan's age by the team they support - If they support Liverpool they'll be around 30-40 as Liverpool were the glory-hunter's team in their formative years, likewise if a United fan they'll be 20-30 for the same reason.

Indeed. And it could be argued that this must apply to referees also. Those in their thirties and forties are likely to be Liverpool fans, and younger ones United fans, if they had no allegiance to a local club. Those now professing allegiance to obscure teams like Altrincham, might be genuine, but it is more likely that they are hiding their true colours in order to avoid disqualification from officiating their real teams.

Do you have anyone in particular in mind? ;-)
 
Just moving away from that cow for one moment, and why is it that money just gets brought up whenever City are mentioned. Utd have spent a bit less over the same time that adug took us over and have finished a massive 32 points behind us and won fuck all.. So is their any way these lazy media cretins can focus on the fact that money helps but doesn't guarantee anything, just ask the rag twats.

Sergio Aguero - the only man to score 20+ goals in 5 seasons in a row in the Premier League since 2005/06. Anyone not including him is a moron and shouldn't be listened to. The facts speak for themselves.

Doesn't even have to be him if she can't bring herself to put a City player in. Some lad called Harry Kane has been half decent this decade.

He isn't saying that. But by raising the question he's made you think that he might be. That's exactly his point about the question put to Pep.

Which is why it's such a twattish question.

I've already seen dozens of comments about "well he's not denied it, it must be true", but we all know if he had denied it then the back page story would be "Guardiola denies payments" which makes him look guilty.

That's why Pep's so angry.
 
What decade is that team supposed to be off, it makes no sense whatsoever, I'ld expect if shes released it after this season it should be 2009-2019, in which case you would expect 50% i.e. 5 seasons as an absolute minimum for consideration.

De Gea\ Hart or even Cech could have been argued
Rb I cant really think of an outstanding one over a sustained number of seasons in that period so would go for walker, decent at spurs and 2 record breaking seasons

Kompany & Terry were the stand out CB's

Cole Baines rose probably arguing for LB no real stand out candidates.

Silva, kante, Hazzard & 1 from the likes of slippy G, lampard, eriksen would have been reasonable

Augero & either saint harry shrek/ van pussy

Any so call journalist that bitches about city's domination over the period and not include Silva Augero & Kompany simply loses any shred of credibility, although in her case its highly unlikely she ever had any to lose.

The question is to benefit him. Nothing more or less. It gets him attention and notoriety. And it's exactly why it's perfectly fair game to throw the same kind of stuff back at him.
