"Unspun world" on BBC News.

John Simpson starts off taking about Saudi Arabia taking over golf and asks Dan Roan for the breakdown. Guess who he spends the most time talking about? He's obsessed.

Surely he's not been on about Pep's mashie niblick* again? 'Obsessed' isn't the word!

(* Mind, by all accounts, it is rather impressive..!)

That really wasn’t what happened. Or at least not the story that was claimed.

He was told his biological grandfather was Irish and that was accepted and qualified him to play for them. It was only after he’d finished playing that his mother told him the bloke wasn’t actually his biological grandparent.

It’s a convenient story that may or may not be true. But either way it has nothing to do with his views on step parents.

Yeh and the berk has cost many a decent footballer born in the UK with Irish herertage the chance of representing the Republic of Ireland

I Knew that you know.

I just can't resist the opportunity to reiterate that we all know that they (media) know MCFC is the best run football club this side of Mars.

It's what makes it even sweeter, that they have to work so hard to swim against the tide.

I would imagine the average football fan is starting to suspect a bit of a media bias against MCFC if they haven't already.

For those football fans older enough to remember when the rags were relevant and dominating the premier league they will recall a lack of media resistance to their continued success.

An interesting Mail article today about the situation in Russia, where the author writes..'To say Putin is obsessed with his legacy is like saying Liverpool would quite like an away win at Manchester City.'

Fantastic news for PL football fans as one of it best players Ilkay Gundogan has signed a two year deal with ‘Barca’ with an option for a third. The German Turk has now played for two of the best supported teams in European football as well as Stockport with money.

The name's Foden, Phil Foden...
Stepping into his best (imo) position of sort-of inside left...

That's what people were saying about Zaba, Ferny, Vinnie, Sergio, Yaya, David etc. Think we have done ok replacing all these players

I wouldn't say we've directly replaced any of them, certainly not immediately. We've evolved to use other skillsets and adjust tactics accordingly. Fully expect pep to be dipping his toes in the red sea on his holibobs letting that football brain of his come up with his next invention for next season that'll leave the players thinking wtf during the first pre season training session and then get working on mastering it.

Over two seasons yes, but we stuttered in each position the following year when we lost each Star. I d disagree on your point.

I think the power of our squad depth kept us sound along with Peps magic.
 
I see another wanky yanky this time the Bournemouth owner having a go at city being state owned and they can’t compete. Wants a salary cap and next no relegation.

These fucks won’t stop until they have ruined English football.

City are owed by an individual from Abu Dhabi you wankstain!!!

Americans and their big mouths…

He s got 5 titles and not even hit his prime yet. As long as he keeps his shape and fitness levels high he will be one of the greatest.

He was the best player on the pitch more often than not but that was 2/3 seasons ago. We really need him to get back to that. He will I am sure - with the right adjustments he's the perfect gundo replacement imo - if there was such a thing.

Another liar who wants to line his own pockets. The article includes the totally false comment that "78 per cent of Manchester City is owned by Abu Dhabi's Sovereign Wealth Fund." Just more fake news and the English hacks are, as usual, happy to publish without checking the facts. Not even a cursory check on Google.

Anyone that thinks the American owners (mostly, all though I can't think of a purely benevolent one) are interested in football and not just the money, need to give their head a wobble.

Pep has already started to play Phil inside. It is time he was given the opportunity to develop, establish himself and realise his potential..

Gundo's first two years were underwhelming until he transformed into Mr Whippy. He will be remembered as a City great but Pep and co are looking ahead and age is not on Gundo's side. The move to Barca will prolong his playing career in a pleasant environment, add to his pension fund and add to his experience of playing in another major league should he decide to move into coaching/management.
