Media discussion - 2025/26

Absolutely great seeing the usual suspects come out of the woodwork and start to whine about 115, City's spending and how unfair everything is.

We only ever get this coverage when we're in contention for trophies. Last year it was barely mentioned.
Fk the lot of em Cmon City
 
I love podcasts and listen to almost all of football ones including atletic Guardian or totally football show. I have always loved the bias that comes into play whenever City name is occured where a red team win is celebrated with euphoria and city wins are often celebrated with the subtle "that why you pay big bucks to KDB or Haaland" .

Recently I started consuming the same podcasts in video format on youtube and started putting a face to those writers who write snide articles about city in telegraph or guardian or such. Almost all of them are above 50 and it shows in their faces that in all their life they only saw Liverpool Arsenal and United win and ofcourse almost all of them directly and indirectly have a soft spot for the red clubs. Some of them are self declared fans of these 3 clubs and the rest of them can be easily made out by the way theyspeak about the red cunts. Phrases like " Look at the size of the club"or "Look at their history and tradition" or even some straight forward nonsense like "Ofcourse all eyes are on United since it is the biggest club in the world! I mean hello Bayern Madrid and Barcelona.

So I made peace with the fact that until the new generation of fans/journalist take over the media in the next decade who have seen City' success or so we will be treated unfairly in the media.
In today's podcast with Guardian within 2 mins of podcast starting - Barney Ronay was asked how good was city. The answer was well one team has Haaland on 600k a week and one had Gykores so ofcourse city will win since it is a financial game.
I chuckled loudly ,closed youtube and moved over to netflix for some sanity.
I like to listen to as many podcasts as possible after a big city win like yesterday, so consumed the Guardians this evening. Same old levels of bitterness.

And that little snide **** rory smith on 5 live for the second week in a row mentioning similar.

Before the last few weeks it was all about this city team not being great, not being in the title
Race and Pep leaving soon
 
I’m literally just a few mins into the Guardian Football pod, & Barney (despondent Arsenal fan) is knee deep in the Nation state project, banging on about City’s squad & management being the best money can buy, & breaking financial rules, talk about bitter.
Yes Nunes as a right back, Khusanov and O’Reilly are for sure three names any football fan would name in their defence if they could buy anyone.

Nothing at all to do with great coaching.
 
Yeh man, really can't wait for you to lay it out man !

I see you’ve already taken a position to not enter this discussion in good faith.

Personally I reckon if you’re entering discussions in bad faith then you really shouldn’t be entering them at all. Whereas if you’re entering discourse with an open mind…

The comment made was a lazy far-right trope. If you wanna repeat lazy far-right tropes and refuse to listen to any other opinion then I’m sorry but why should we ever listen to you?

Only a fucking lunatic would listen to that shite, that nest of racists and sexual deviants have openly despised us for more than a decade
 
Not a fan of abusing a bloke going about his business and especially with his mrs.

I’ve walked past Neville recently on Deansgate, he looked at me as we were passing and I just gave him a bit of a scowl. Wouldn’t ever give him abuse though, he’s got a right to walk down the street and not be shouted at.
Totally agree. Two things can happen…Neville is a wanker but should not be abused walking on the street. Still tho if you can give it out expect to get it back. I thought it was football related or would bit have posted. Maybe il delete as it’s not proper behaviour no matter if Neville or not? It’s a tough choice -:)
