I think to me there us a difference between commenting on transfer fees, as people on here and his twitter feed seem bothered about, and getting personal.

As highlighted earlier, a couple if the fees were mentioned in the context of what a bargain it was, rather than used as a slight.

mentioning the fees was there purely to get a reaction out of the rags and dippers watching. You can say someone is value for money without needing to mention the fee. Going through the squad saying "£60m here, £50m there" is a clear tactic for a specific end game.

Haven't heard the commentators comment on Rodrigo's fee in the Leeds game today.

If It’s not free, I just watch a dodgy stream. Then all you can pick up is the players names

Phil Foden has got the third highest appearances for City this season. He is just part of the usual squad rotation at City. I believe he plays more than most other players of his age in Europe. He has also won nine trophies (including the U17 World Cup) This story is just the latest fake narrative put out by our enemies in the media to try and damage us. I wish the club would call it out.

what’s mad is it gets repeated by City fans

You believe that the likes of United and Liverpool’s transfer fees are referred to as frequently, and in the same terms, as ours?

If you look back through my posts, I accept that is a valid point. With regards Darke only the Ederson and Dias ones spring to mind and I think they were referred to in ‘positive terms’ on this occasion.

You are, of course, correct about the Twitter storm but there is a bigger picture here. Ian Darke is not the only commentator who is incapable of covering City in an impartial way. The constant sniping (and that's what it is) has gone on for years. There are so many people in key positions who simply can't hide their dislike of our club. I think City fans are entitled to defend the club and I think our lobbying is slowly improving things and has helped people like Nedum, Micah, and Trevor Sinclair get more airtime. All I want to see is fair, balanced, and honest critical coverage of City.

Anyone else notice how we are starting to be reported more in the media? We are the most successful English club over the past 10 years and can no longer be ignored.

Also there is a growing trend to finally refer to us as Manchester City rather than just Man City.

That’s fair enough mate. Unlike others, I’m not a perennial stalker of your output!

Didn’t someone on here complain to BT about the constant mentioning of transfer fees during our games?
If so then Darke is now simply taking the piss.

they just feel comfortable talking about us when we're not a threat.

The most egregious omissions are Pogba and Maguire.
