Our old friend Nik McGeehan has been called out on Twitter and responded like usual.

Unfortunately for old Nick, this time the person he picked a fight with is not a random City fan but one of the most high profile Human rights Lawyers in Eruope...

Rabin has absolutely rattled a lot of people. That stuff from Nick today was hilarious

Perhaps already posted but can anyone verify seeing this live (it looks like it is Sky’s studio setup)?

Yes it was live on SSN on Sunday afternoon

Just flicked over to SSN had a bit about Berni joining up with Portugal, he help City to the title, so that’s two trophies they’ve forgotten about ;-)

It will come as a sudden shock when the City supporting kids come through and the red scouse and rags start to age.

Leeds still has huge support from their 1970's successes that is rapidly fading. Globally City is on a roll. Local media is increasingly more parochial pandering to its audience, for now!!!

How many years have they gone back for that data ha,doesn't surprise me they left us off,probably takes out the charity shield for us but keeps them in for the others

Seeing that makes me wonder how much of our treatment post takeover has to do with Spurs. It was one of the things that softened the blow of Liverpool winning the CL for me. The UK media appear desperate to put them ahead of us. I've seen some trophy counts that use tinpot cups(even less significant than the Charity Shield) to justify them still being ahead too.

Spurs were one of the originally "financially doped" by uneven broadcasting splits clubs in the 90s weren't they? The all time points title race video @BosnianBlue posted, highlights just how late to top 10 they were. It's unjustified London club favouritism in my eyes and it's been happening for years.

Nah I'm pretty those totals only make sense if it's major honours without Charity/Community Shields.

I hope we are top dogs for the next 10 to 15 years then we’ll really see a growth in our support

I think you'll find the rags have counted it every time they win it,i'm sure i've seen a graphic with their clubs honours

I don't doubt that I just meant the totals that Sky give here only make sense that way... we should be on 19 ahead of Spurs.

Cheers.

They really can’t help themselves, can they?

They have left us off on purpose

 

[Metalartin]

They have left us off on purpose

Yep.


Maybe they've gone with the popular Liverpool spin of "City's PL titles don't count because they bought them and everyone else earned theirs"?

 

[StMark's]

Cheers.

No - it rang alarm bells at the time as I knew we should have been ahead of Spurs. It appears they have included Uefa Super Cups but not Charity Shields. Although their figures still don't match up to the Wiki page - that shows 46 for Liverpool and 31 for Arsenal, 27 for Chelsea, 22 for Villa. I see so many errors with their graphics and stats, especially on weekends.

Strange the european super cup is on for villa but not the intertoto they won as that was an actual cup competition and chelseas 2 full members cups not included,

 

[Metalartin]

Looking at 11v11:

https://www.11v11.com/teams/liverpool/tab/honours/

It appears Sky think "World Soccer Team of the Year" should be included.

That's how 44 becomes 45, so they can show Liverpool top.

"Temporarily joint with Man Utd" they probably said in their heads. Still not sure what creative calculations they've done to put us below Spurs.

 

[BosnianBlue]

they just don't have a shame. Unbelievable Jeff

With all the media dipperfest going on at least the MEN try and keep us in the limelight......
