Yeah, that's the narrative for the rest of the season: City and Liverpool's positions are reversed because Dias is having the same effect on City that Van Dyke had on Liverpool because City never replaced Kompany despite spending billions on defenders.

You will hear that several thousand times from several thousand pundits, all talking as though they invented it and there won't be a mention of Van Dykles £90 million fee but lots of mentions of Dias's £60 million fee.

Are you starting to accept that some of the press we get is less than fair, DD?!

Well thats one way of looking at it I suppose.

I see Mark Ogden, the man who somehow kept his job despite mocking somebody for speech imediment while representing his paymaster, has thrown it back on the fans with his latest tweet.

The free ride that Liverpool and United managers get for their hypocrisy is completely ridiculous

Or the fact he effectively went on strike to force the move through which is never brought up:

Virgil van Dijk has in effect gone on strike at Southampton in an attempt to force a transfer, according to Mauricio Pellegrino. The manager said the defender had told him he wanted to leave and was not available to play for the club. Pellegrino has responded by ordering the Holland international to train alone.

Unemployed? I hope so. The more of these liars that lose their job the better.

Yes, especially now that we are dominating. I’ve always conceded that we get bad press in certain quarters but also I believe some of our fans are ridiculously paranoid about it and see ghosts where there are none. It’s understandable: we used to be liked by everyone but now we aren’t.

That pretty much echoes my views on the subject too.

Just because we're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get us

If you have not woken up to smell the coffee pal you never will. We get the bad press because of islamophibia and our owners backgrounds. How dare Arab owners mix it with the rest and are even successful! Had City’s owners been American they would have written articles of the greater good that City were doing. The narrative and stereotypes created by the media is intended to stick long term and fit into a broader political agenda of the how the west want to influence the Middle East. Our owners are smart, wise and excellent in commerce and the media have struggled but they keep trying from different angles. Some of it sticks but others does not. I see where they are coming from and a lot of our clued fans do. But the herd...well that’s media manipulation at work!

Funnily enough the Dippers were saved from administration by a loan from RBS who were state owned at the time it was taken out.

RBS appointed a board member. I don’t understand how that’s not classed as in administration.
