So what's been said about Citys record breaking winning streak of 15 games ?

Talkshite didn’t mention it once during the Everton/Spurs game. Just that we’d won.

Just listened to the City piece on Talksport and it was a virtual circle jerk by every one of them. I'm pretty sure that they mentioned the new record as well.

It is the media thread after all.

City v Liverpool the top matches of any premier league season, and it was reported after ireland v wales rugby, some tennis game and a sport from the USA , a type of rugby I believe.
If you believe a 4 _1 Liverpool victory would have been fifth up I am a dutchman.
Keep enjoying, even if we are not as successful, and enjoy our wonderful free press and fair media.

First was superbowl, then test cricket, then tennis, then rugby......followed by us

didn't bother with full time
lescott looked uncomfortable to say the least

What you missed was Jake Humphries look directly at Ferdinand and say “they’re a joy to watch when they play like that.”

Ferdinand, with a face like a slapped arse, replied: “Are you talking to Joleon?”

So Messi is not a legend?

Not sure if it would be wise to bring him here but in terms of the contract you got to look at the duration. Messi would most likely get a two year deal whereas Kev would probably be offered a five year contract.

In such a scenario what exactly is "contract parity" and no matter how valuable a current player is under no circumstances can they be allowed effectively dictate future recruitment policy.

That is a good point re: Contract length and not one I’d given much consideration to. My base point still stands though, you don’t give a player such a disproportionately higher wage/package than your best and most consistent performer without expecting problems down the line.

And you absolutely do not give ANY player A say in transfer policy, that would be crazy. On that we agree. But it has been reported many times, and Messi has done little to refute it, that Messi at the very least ‘has a say’ in BArcelona’s transfer business. He would no doubt expect the same at City, He would in effect be bigger than the club if we paid him anywhere close to the figures he is on at Barcelona as City has a very strict business model regards remuneration packages. It’s one of the many reasons we are one of the most self sustaining clubs in the world.

And I guess that is a comfort to me and all of us. Our exec team have proven time and again that they are nobody’s fools, I’m sure they will give long and hard thought to any Messi transfer.

It’s still, and always will be, a NO from me though.

The DT continues the same tack post our Anfield game with the EFC cuptie last night. It wasn't the result of nine brilliantly taken goals to see off The Dippers 'n Haringay but a string of mistakes and errors by the two losing teams.

Some of the back pages do look pretty good today though. 'Win-vincibles' - I quite like that.

BBC open up a HYS on the Leicester game, opened for as soon as the rags squeaked through yesterday and featured highlights - not a peep for us or a chance to comment on yet another record. Hope we draw them next, only way to guarantee getting a match shown on the BBC. They're happy to put license payers money in the rag coffers to televise their matches at the expense of others.

What is this HYS people refer too? Comments?

Back pages are almost universally very positive about City today.
