The game last night hit a new low in sky's football presentation. I didn't think they could go any lower, but they managed to take the game back 10 years and that's from a position of being 10 years behind already ! Spitty and ratboy are just tedious trying to be comedy banter merchants, it's old and it's stale , Dogleash looks like a soccer mom dressed in her marks n sparks rain coat, who thinks she knows the game because of her dad , Izzy was the one torch in the darkness hopefully we see more of her in the future .

Thank fuck I was at Turf Moor or I may have needed a new telly with all that shit. Agree about Izzy though, she's impressed me before as a pundit.
 
Neville trying to give it to Pep for having a go at Haaland when walking off at half time. Apparently Taggert would never have done it, Pep will end his career with more trophies than the GPC and people will talk about the style of football he created and how kids on Saturday mornings are playing out from the back. I know which manager I’d prefer to have.
 
I sometimes think sky, bt BBC read this forum and other City forums. Sky will be reading it this morning getting all giddy because they have pissed of the City fans.

I watched the game I dont remember anything the commenters said I was listening they are just back ground noise.
I saw the caption and just smiled. So what !

Perhaps closed the thread down and ignore the press/media instead of giving them publicity.
After all the press/media are only there for the dippers and rags, both are full of plastic knobheads. I personally couldn't give a fuck what any of other fans think.

A few moaning about the paddy power advert. All I thought was it's a pop at others clubs not City. Rival fans going on about oil money but changing their tune when it happen.

Chill and enjoy our success and ignore the pricks in the press/media :)

Pep needs to get a few of Gary Nutter's coaching manuals. We all know how well the Bury Rag Pudding influenced the beautiful game from his scintillating managerial career.
 
Have the City Xtra guys gone their separate ways? Watching one of those fan reaction compilation videos on YT, and I noticed Lewis has his own channel now, and that Jordy had a new guy next to him on the City Xtra page.

BBC Sport is nothing more than a Rag Fanzine.
The sooner the nonce protecting wankers are defunded the better. the quarter finals of the woman's world cup is more important than the start of the Premier League.

No chance they will ever say “90m Anthony”, “106m Enzo” or “111m Caceido”. The money spent on defenders is over Pep’s 7 year tenure and doesn’t include any sales, Danilo, Angelino, Zinchenko, etc which has brought in around 140m but does include the 50m we paid for Mendy.

So on average around 40m per season, seeing as our prize money last season alone was 290m it’s hardly eye brow raising. As the old saying goes “you have to speculate to accumulate”.
 
If you're wound up now about the Sky defender caption wait until we play West Ham

Manchester City defenders 897 million
West Ham defenders 142* million

* includes the 6-10 million bunged to slabby to get him to sign.

My complaint to BBC about Simon Stone's Kane article, making out we bid £160m for Kane in 2021:

Simon Stone's article about Harry Kane refers to "a £160m move to Manchester City" a link is provided as if such a bid existed or has some substance but there was never any such bid.
Simon Stone is misleading and factually incorrect in his article. Simon Stones will know most readers will not click on the link and discover no such bid was ever made, but putting the figure in bold will fool many readers into believing such a bid was made.
He is a declared Manchester United supporter and regularly reports with bias when reporting on Manchester City or Manchester United matters. He frequently tries to undermine
and portray the Manchester City club in a negative way. While he does the opposite when
reporting on Manchester United. The BBC Sport website normally has a large and disproportionate number of petty Manchester United articles as if the whole sporting department is trying to promote this club above all others. It seems the BBC is institutionally biased in this respect.

I’m not letting go about Stone’s latest jaunt to promote United in the USA and them not reporting the City game v Yokohama.

Thank you for your response. My point was about the bias in your reporting between City and United games. Yes you put a report up three hours after the game had ended. For the United tour you sent your journalist to the USA, as you have now for many years to promote their friendly games and report live from the half full stadium whilst City played in front of three sold out stadia.

So I want to know do you receive payment from MUFC for the endless promotion of their friendly games on your website?

Or do we, the licence payers, fund the disparity in reports and the travel for Stone follow his team to friendly games?

Would I need to submit a FOI request for this information?

Also you did not address my final question relating to why I should continue to fund the BBC if I cannot find information about my team on your website and can only find promotional content on United.
