Cheers PB, but if I’m honest, I prefer the money tree explanation :)

I do too!

Plenty more to come, Ronay and Liew will be ready to spew their bile in the coming weeks.

They don’t even attempt to conceal it any more. It’s laughable how resentful they are of City.

Aaand we’re off.

Jonathan Wilson interchanges City with Abu Dhabi all the way through the article. No attempt at any balance. Just repeating the racist false trope that we are owned by a state. No understanding of what Sheikh Mansour is trying to do or why. No grasp of the strategy behind CFG or that our owner has already trebled his original investment or that City is now a totally sustainable and profitable business.
Wilson has no awareness that we are likely to cover the entire cost of recruiting Messi from extra leveraged sponsorships. No awareness that our single biggest investors are based in California and China (not the Gulf region).
People like Wilson are a disgrace. He's not a journalist he's a propagandist with a racist narrative.

But we're not their rivals and they're not obsessed with us.

Except living rent free in their heads 24/7.

Just seen the media blanking of Messi to City, not a believer but it s interesting from the mirror to say clubs and uefa to investigate the figures on any transactions.

So football clubs can investigate one another ???? wow!!!!

It's a good job that there are plenty of money trees in Abu Dhabi, all cunningly disguised as oil wells.

BBC News headlines. Chelsea beat City in Women’s Community Shield. No mention of Arsenal beating the Dippers!!

Been on the BBC HYS on the Charity Shield, just to point out that Arteta has won two domestic trophies out of the four he has been in, Klopp has won one of the fifteen plus he has been in, said nothing nasty it is the CHARITY SHIELD after all,
Can not understand why it is that the media can not count? after all they did with Wenger, he also had a better record than Klopp

Of course he does.

Don’t recall any of them having the guts to write this about the GPC?

 

[burning blue soul]

can you imagine the salt from all and sundry if he does sign...especially after the cas appeal it would be the middle finger to the cartel , UEFA and the spiteful nine

It's gonna be a dilemma for the hacks, alright. They have sucked this lads proverbial dick for 15 years... now how to approach it?
Stick the knife in about his age and decline, or jump on board for the rollercoaster ride?
One thing is for sure, it would indeed be the biggest "fuck you" in the history of football if we do sign him... and if we get him for free, oh lordy!!!

 

[oakiecokie]

Here’s another...

Erm ... I think he`ll find that we`ve already done that.

 

[Elbow beards]

See the BBC are carrying on with their Liverpool wankathon, with a programme about their 30 year wait on bbc2 tonight. Don't remember a man City one in 2012.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Aaand we’re off.

I thought we only conceded two more league goals than the Guardian's second favourite team, do Liverpool need a rejig in defence too? Or is 33 goals let in good but 35 shit?

Most games we lost came about because the opposition scored their one or two chances against us when we fucked up at least ten clear goalscoring opportunities in the game. I'm pretty sure that Messi would convert at least one or two of the ones Sterling/Jesus/Bernardo/Mahrez/Gundogan miss, so problem solved.

Yet if Messi signed for the rags, dippers or even Tarquins we'd be deafened by the sound of zippers being undone by every sports pseudo journo in the country.

 

[Withnail]

City should be applauded for attempting to bring Messi to the PL. Most fans excluding the Rags and Dippers would welcome the opportunity to see Messi display his talents in the League, but not the UK media.

Corrected for you.

Oh ye, oops :)

I doubt he even really thinks this. Journalists these days are judged on how many likes, shares and clicks they get.

Unfortunately this means the most ridiculous and extreme views are often the most popular.
