My money is on someone reporting some BS like Pep had met with Sanchez after the Community shield and urged him to put in a transfer request to get him signed by Friday. Gives Wenger something to kick off about when they lose again.I think the last week of pre season is the perfect timing for a major anti City story. The Tabloids will either dig up some old story,or invent something for the masses to gorge on.
Sky will run with a ticker, with no comment on it for a few hours.
Pep furious, Aguero to leave, Ffp, love triangle,
My favourite for this season, Ederson will be targeted, pep got it wrong again.
Already started to trend on talkshite this one.
Or may be paranoid this morning after 2 bottles of red
Huge, massive article - 7 or 8 lines - in todays Mail about our match against another PL side in Iceland yesterday, really only naming scorers.
Had it been rags then it would have been at least a four page spread, pictures of Peg & his wonder team etc. etc.
Oh, wait a minute, a two page spread about Mata complete with several pictures of rags shirts on next page.
Just read this in our local paper (men)
Bernardo - a full-back with an attacking bent - believes he is an ideal fit for City and Guardiola's philosophy.
Brilliant

Quote from the article:
We haven't made an elite signing apparently. Wonder what they would have written if we had spent £200m on 1 player.
Just imagine the agony they're going through at the moment. Sublime football v Hoofball.Just watched a 5 minute piece on the ICC that ESPN showed at halftime of juve vs Tottenham and they didn't show one goal that we scored yet showed the Madrid goal against us as well as lukakas goal against us. I kept waiting for it but nope nothing. That is actually criminal
Nope that's pissJust imagine the agony they're going through at the moment. Sublime football v Hoofball.
My heart bleeds for the media. (As I'm typing this, tears of laughter are trickling down my trouser leg!)
I resemble that remark.Nope that's piss
You're incontinent
We're going to absolutely annihilate them in the PL this season.The fucking BBC report on the cricket just begins 'you can't mention one Old Trafford without thinking of the other' shows a signpost to the swamp, then a speeded up camera journey from the cricket ground, to the swamp, stopping with a lingering view of the swamp.
So we get a free advert for the rags, before any mention of the actual cricket, on a report about the England cricket team playing South Africa.
Not even subtle.
They really are cnuts.... they should be excited about the football they are about to witness.....they'd be salivating if arsenal were in our position, instead they are going with those promising youngsters oxlaide-chaimberlain and Walcott againThe bible bashing miracle worker Glenn Hoddle in the Daily Fail.
GLENN HODDLE: Under-pressure Guardiola has nowhere to hide this season... and Mourinho's machine is looking ominous
No one is under more pressure than Pep Guardiola this season. Not Jose Mourinho, he has already banked two trophies. Minor ones but trophies nonetheless.
Now the excuses run out. City have spent £200million this summer and £190m last season when Guardiola arrived. Everything ought to be in place.
He must have already been feeling some scrutiny after signing Eliaquim Mangala for £42m and Wilfried Bony for £28m even prior to Guardiola’s arrival.
Blah, blah, f***ing BLAH!
Hoddle then goes on to wax lyrical about the Special One and a United. And only mentions the Lukaku transfer fe and nothing else about United's transfer spending.
I'm not sure you understand how forums work mate.108 pages. And the season hasn't begun. We really are a bunch if fannies. Get a fucking grip. "The Daily Mail said this. The Mirror said that. The BBC didn't say anything about Unitd paying XY and Z for XY and Z player". Let's boycott them! Yeah, let's boycott the Mirror with its daily sales of less than 1% of the daily population. Boo fucking hoo...
