Ian Darke is a **** ....

Got you.

Don't see a massive ( :) ) amount wrong with that one tbh. You could take it as a compliment...

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.

I dont recall him giving any suggestion that any City players were bargains and l definitely know you avoided my question about the context.

Is he being benched though?

He's part of squad rotation like 75% of players at the club. Without being arsed to check I'd imagine his minutes compare well to Bernie, Torres etc.

I read somewhere recently for his age he'd played more first team minutes than any of the raggy golden kids had at this stage of their careers and that he's the highest scoring British midfielder in all comps since 2018 that plays in the top division.

your probably right, he is only 20, Grealish who I was looking at as a vastly improved player is 25 and Rashford's 23 so time is still on his side.

what’s mad is it gets repeated by City fans

There's no doubt that repeating the same lie time after time does work. An old but very effective firm of propaganda.

 

[Mike Cledford]

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.

His tweet that we are too sensitive suggests he ain't going to stop any time soon.

That was my intepretation of his comments in relation to Ederson. Some will see it differently, that is fine.

Clearly if my ‘context’ is I interpret his comment as a positive rather than a slight, that clearly answers your question about it being a stick to attack our owners, in this instance. That is self-explanatory.

But you have denied there was an 'agenda' against City for years on here. I don't like the way that word is misused by fans but I do like Bill the Blue's list of how the media have treated City over the years and l am sure Bill could have included many more things.
You seem to defend our detractors and rarely have a good word to say about fellow Blues' opinions, coming across as Mary, Mary quite Contrary's brother or worse still, Blue Moon's own version of Darke or Tyler.
