The guy who sits next to me in the East Stand often points out that the routine examples of instant ball control and playing out of tight corners we see from City nowadays would have had everyone in the ground on their feet gasping and applauding even 15 years ago. Now such a stunning level of technical brilliance is commonplace. Rarified air indeed.

That's why I find it so frustrating that.the footballing skills somehow don't continue to passing the ball into the opponents net.
Pep must be so tired of shots that simply miss the target at the same time as applauding the way the chances are generated.

It will come. There will be a game when we absolutely hammer someone.

That dodgy tv deal that carved up more money for the top six back when the premier league was formed and a one team from each country champions league gave him a head start. Add to that United spent some eye watering amounts of money on the likes of Pallister, Webb, Wallace and Ince to build a new team.

If you look at United’s dominance it seems to tail off when other teams like Arsenal, Chelsea and City catch up. He knew the game was up back in 2012, didn’t want his legacy tainting by being also rans to City.

If I recall the money to buy Ince, Pallister etc. came via a stock exchange flotation, basically outside equity investment.
That plus the 2 sugar daddies that saved them from extinction twice in their rancid history.

Thick plastic Rags always make me piss when they bang on about "generating their own money" and "earned not bought" and I never tire of putting them straight when they start talking bollocks.

I'm not sure we'd have been on our feet. More likely we'd have fainted from shock.

Or woken up

Building us up for a fall again mate, they love to do it

I like to think they have seen the writing on the wall and don't want to look foolish.

Daily United.

On the Weekend City could win the PL title, there is nothing about our match against Palace. Everything else. United, Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG, Barcelona, Real Madrid, fake transfer stories, cricket, etc. Only when you scroll, scroll down the main page is there an article about Dias, and how good he has been this season.

Sky going for an "It's not over yet" narrative.

They know something we don't?

More likely trying to keep their red shirt armchair army subscriptions.

He’s always been a despicable **** as far as I’m concerned, people who blow smoke in his arse on here, claiming he’s a great, unbiased pundit are deluded...!
