Some intellectually stimulating pre match reading Irish fans have been treated to. !!

There's another paragraph on the hard copy back page by Larry Ryan, headed, I quote "Why do City leave people cold ?" Starting with "Sometimes you wonder have the oil men really thought it out properly, this sports-washing. Because the better " City "get, the more attention seems to be drawn to the source of their wealth and the more queasiness is felt". Further on "dubious attention to the practices associated with the funding model."
He suggests that maybe the Sheikh simply picked the wrong club. "Without a tradition of glory, even record-breaking feats will forever be attributed to money. Most crucially, maybe there is something about Manchester City not being Manchester United or Liverpool that will always persuade observers to find nothing compelling about the breathtaking ambition of Guardiola's vision" Maybe Gary James should send him a copy of his City's history book. Now I am queasily heading to the garden to prune some shrubs wondering if there are any shrubs named Larry or Miguel.
Rory Smith on Football: Can Man City's perfection still qualify as art?
The way Man City play fires the brain – though does not necessarily stir the soul.

Johnny Nicholson: Manchester City are great, but ultimately a very good Ajax tribute band
As Manchester City seem set to win every game until the end of time, their manager Pep Guardiola is once again, this being a day with a ‘y’ in it, being hailed as a genius and a revolutionary. It isn’t hard to see why

Just jealous pure and simple. Blaming our spending = success. Perhaps they should look at how much the rags have spent over the last 5 yearsSome intellectually stimulating pre match reading Irish fans have been treated to. !!

So an Irish glory he hunter is projecting his own biased opinion on to ‘everyone’. No one gives a fuck mate, stick to reporting on Cork City or whatever else the fuck is going on on your rock.

Neither of them are Irish, both English. Rory Smith is a shameless Liverpool FC cheerleader and client journalist. A man who tried to give some form of respectability and credence to his mates at the Anfield Wrap after their laughable and openly derided ‘long grass’ excuse for their defeat at the Etihad in 2019 was mocked and ridiculed by the entire football world.
Nicolson is a junior member of the WhatsApp group who has previously been filleted by Rabin and still bears a grudge. Last seen crying in F365 because some fans are being beastly to poor, honest, innocent football writers.
Even more so than here, knocking City and playing up to the prejudices and excuses of bitter redshirts is never bad for business in the Irish media

Evans reverting to type as per usual, truly one bitter scouser.
