Morning all.
Have you got it yet? Liverpool running away with the title is good for football yet when City do it the Narrative changes to the league not being competative.
Has anyone seen any media outlet print or speak about this years farmers league? Of course we haven't because the global dominance of the reds shills must not be upset. Do you see how the media in all forms influence feeling? Not just in sport but in all things, politics, economics and relating back to us, the 115. Remember the platforms these so called experts are given to spout their hatred towards us. Sky, BBC, X etc etc.
The agenda against our club is clear and targetted and was identified by Khaldoon a long time ago. The fact we are struggling on the field just makes the pyrhanas jobs more easy to poke the hornets nest of daily anti city rhetoric.
Remember fellow blues, this bad run wont last forever. We are the best run club in the land and our owner, chairman will put it right so Pep can go again.

They have an * against their only previous PL title success in the covid season and will have a second * if they win another title while facing no competition. Meanwhile, Tony Evans is getting into a rage again about rival fans singing "Feed The Scousers". I thought the media told us everyone wants the dippers to win the league.

Said before say it again , after the punishment handed out to the Bears by the SFA anything is possible. For some reason we seem to be hated by the powers that be in a way the rags and dippers never were, the nearest thing is the Leeds side of the early 70s. They got some very bad decisions but nothing like we have had to live with.

A fair point about how the (Dirty) Leeds Utd. team of the '70s were despised.
But, that was mainly the fans of other teams who strongly disliked their unsporting and foul play, also their arrogant attitude to opponents.
I don't seem to remember the media having such a negative, even hateful attitude towards them ?
Obviously, the fact that Don Revie left the England manager's job, ironically for the dirty Arab world, saw a lot of retrospective disdain for Leeds from the media...

Not sure want your point is……Walker has been fabulous for us but it’s obvious he is no longer the player he was previously.

Apart from Stones and Ake who over the last couple of seasons cannot be relied on to stay fit….Dias and Rodri are the only players that are missing that will significantly improve the team.

It’s the drop in performances from a huge number of regulars that is impacting the results.

What about Foden and KDB, perhaps even Oscar Bobb's availability and value to the team ?
Foden has not been match-fit for many games this season.
KDB is still not able to play a full match.
Poor old Oscar has also been a big miss.
Personally, I think the slow, possession game has been "found out" by opponents, who are no longer afraid to attack City.
A variety in tactics and using all 5 subs at a time to influence the game, would have improved our points haul over the last dozen games.
Hopefully, our injury list will be much shorter in 2025...

He is literally offended by everything yet defended the scousers for causing the 39 deaths at Heysel saying hooliganism was just part of football back in the 80s. Guys a fucking piss can prick who is so far detached from his own clubs history at Heysel. He is number 1 cult leader

Agree about Oscar Bobb…..potentially he was going to be a big player for us this season and a fully fit Foden would have obviously been a big plus…..my point is that having the players back would make a difference (although Ake and Stones are always a half away from an injury) but it’s not injuries with Walker and time has caught up with him the same as Gundogan, De Bruyne and maybe Silva (although Pep has flogged him)
We need some fresh and hungry players in the team, whether that’s an injection of youth or transfers (or a combination) ….the current squad fit or not will not challenge for the top honours again.
