Meanwhile we can see why Miguel was so rattled by City’s rise.


Thing is, it shows how pitifully little the **** actually appreciates football history. United and Liverpool have hardly ever had an inter partes battle for the title in the last 60 years. ‘09 was probably the only one - certainly the only one I can recall. City and United have definitely had more in that time (‘68, ‘12 and arguably’13 - don’t think ‘18 counts)
 
As l've been catching up on this thread l have just had an update that hospitals have a record number of Covid patients and that yesterday had the highest number of new cases reported.
Despite this there seems to be a clamour from certain quarters to punish City and/or give our opponents an advantage for having the audacity to have staff with a highly infectious disease and not wanting to spread it further.
Idiots like Neville and cronies seem to regard Covid as if it's a hamstring or other football injury and the affected club, especially when it's us and our 'bigger squad than anyone else' should just carry on.
It is now a far worse situation than it was when football was stopped before and I await with interest to see what the Government do next for the safety of the whole population. Will the populist PM want to appease the teams in red and their supporters and the others in sport to whom money is everything ? Or will common sense prevail and the Government and advisers
say that to call off the match was the correct action to take and use it as an example of how this disease can spread so easily even amongst young fit men with doctors keeping a close eye on them.
Needs a question mark at the end.
 
Most English football clubs are ignored by the media and so alienating the majority of fans. Ironically, tv still has national coverage with MotD and EFL highlights that remains relatively neutral, covering all clubs.

Everything else is driven by social media dominated by clicks. The anti City narrative pushed by the WhatsApp Group and others, supported by shill and bot comments is cheap and easy. CFG and Manchester City is fighting against a pack who have had it all their own way but see the writing is on the wall.

Was it not Liverpool who invited coronavirus by pressing for the game against Atleti to go ahead with supporters, assuming a win and putting football first? City return from London, presumably with players testing positive from the more contagious and virulent strain of Covid-19 not yet prevalent in NW England.

For some reason Liverpool was allowed to have fans in the grounds unlike other local areas. London and the South East have even stricter lockdown rules than in Manchester.

Yet the scouse propaganda machine ignores the reason for the postponed Everton game is about safety under EPL and Government guidelines. It is twisted to claim it was City trying to gain an advantage.

This is a Manchester City who were most disadvantaged by the lack of a pre-season and have the most congested seasonal fixture list.

The narrative is beyond pathetic. Total desperation that needs to be called out and myth peddlers exposed. They are already starting to die on their feet and will not be bailed out by the Americans or Qataris.

The fear grows. More and more the negative stories about City without substance designed to create negativity and reinforce the positions of the elite and history clubs as the bearers of all that needs to be preserved for the good of football. They will lose the long game that City are fighting.

There is a bigger story here of manipulation and corruption that will come out as we saw with UEFA and FIFA and is not yet finished.

Seems the testing and Tier 2 treatment is working miracles...

City and Liverpool and City and United have finished as the top 2 more times than United and Liverpool.

Just like it’s an undeniable fact that we’ve been united‘s main rivals for longer in their...err...history than Liverpool - not that a know nowt **** like Delaney would be aware of that, or even acknowledge it if he was.
