PS. I left a fitting reply for Kutch. I doubt it got passed the Mod
unlike Kutch’s comment.

I reckon about 25% of my responses ever get passed mods, none if they are reasoned but slightly critical of Rags & Dippers or defensive of City & charges.

Never do I receive a notification why they don’t see light of day.

Manchester City: Pep Guardiola says his side would be 'dead' if they spent like Chelsea

Manchester City would be "under scrutiny like you cannot imagine" if they were spending like Chelsea, says boss Pep Guardiola.

He’s absofuckingluley bang on

Read this and couldn’t believe it.

When Pep comes out with statements such as this you know he “gets” us.

No wonder he’s been here longer than any other club.

There have been many times when people have said we should go after the media.

Read those words. That is an almighty fuck you to the media.
 
Bizarre article in the Mail by Ladyman headlined;

How Newcastle United - led by co-owner Amanda Staveley - have learnt lessons from Manchester City's scattergun approach in 2008 to find Premier League success​


Bear in mind we won the league just 3 seasons later, but that isn't mentioned at all in the article. Instead the focus shifts to the Champions League;

"Still it took them three years to qualify for the Champions League and another two to progress beyond the group stages"

And this "scattergun" spending ?

"City made their fair share of early missteps - Robinho, Wayne Bridge and Roque Santa Cruz were three"

Just to remind new fans, Wayne Bridge cost £12m and Santa Cruz barely played through injury. Robinho was a world star name who arguably put City on the international map.

I often wonder if these "journalists" actually get back-handers from the clubs they write about. I hope so because, if they don't, they really don't know football.
 
Well let's

To be fair to highlight those signings has some merit, however it is a very blinkered view.

How about all the missteps that Mike Ashley made when he was in charge at the same time period?

Hmm, let’s bookmark this and see how far they get in the Chumps league.
