Our bad start to the season makes what's hapening now feel even better.

Back then, after we lost from Spurs, or after our draw with WBA, they were writing us off and were thinking that the wheels were finally coming off, that Pep was tired or found out, that we were going to rebuild for years before finding the next Kompany, the next Fernandinho, the next David Silva, the next Aguero... They were predicting a comfortable Liverpool win or even better: Liverpool vs United for the title. Few were saying we are state owned or have a lot of money. Few, if any, fans of Liverpool or of United would have been happy to swap their squad with our squad. United fans were thinking that De Gea, AWB, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fernandes, Rashford, Pogba, Cavani, etc. were better than our players. Not to mention Liverpool fans who were convinced they had the best players in almost every position.

Then, suddenly, City completely outplay Chelsea, then do the same with United, Liverpool, Spurs.... 20+ wins in a row. Badly taken by surprise, almost shell-shocked by that, the media and opposition fans are reverting to type saying we have had by far the best squad from the start and our winning run has been sort of expected. It pains them to admit that our club bosses are top businessmen, that our manager is fantastic, that our players are actually much better than they were thinking. It may be dawning to some of them that, shock horror, Pep may not be inferior to Ferguson or Klopp.
 
If the writer had any sense he would be asking the question why a club with bigger revenues than City can’t get near them in the league? The dividends their owners take out and the management of their loan repayments would be the answer to that at a guess?
Wasn’t it Khaldoon who basically said that we won’t be blamed for their ineptitude. Seems he knew what was coming as it’s now all our fault for their failings.
 
Not sure if already posted but this is from Luke Edwards who was linked yesterday for gobbing off on Radio 5.
Bless.

So he is essentially saying that City winning the Champions League with four English players in our team is bad for English football. Just a few weeks ago his pals were raving about how competitive our league was with nine different teams having hit top spot.
 
I'm glad the bbc found time to remind us of the remarkable rise of Bruno Fernandes today. Journalism at its very finest.

You have to sit back and have nothing but admiration how he has marshalled his team to being also rans in the title race.
