“Everton said they would request "full disclosure" of the information City provided to the Premier League that led to the postponement.

“Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur sends their best wishes to Fulham for a safe and speedy recovery to all those who are affected."

Thought these 2 statements needed to be placed next to each other, just to remind people ones from “ the people’s club’
Ones from an outfit fronted by Mourinhio

Don’t get the hate for Mourinho personally and never have. He’s not an insidious little snake who hides his true intentions. He’s always said he’ll say anything if it helps his team win. He’s a Bellamy or a Balotelli in my mind, not a Barton. Let’s not forget Pep and Jose were very close for a season at Barcelona when Robson was in charge, personality aside, they are both winners.

Did you hear the wall to wall coverage of what Kompany did for the homeless in Manchester? Me neither

Not even at or around the time of the match but l do remember some rag making a big deal of us bad City fans booing Milner who of course was not playing.
Looking out of the window right now l hope a good number of the homeless are warm and sheltered from Vinnie's efforts and personal generosity.

I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that even another dippers title win would be preferable to the rags winning it. The wankfest in the media over them reaching the dizzy hights of second makes me realize what a first title in seven years would be like. Hope it's neither of them but better the dippers than the rags.

It’s like asking who you prefer to have as a birthday guest, Jimmy Saville or Gary Glitter.

The ugly side of social media rears it's head again, on any given topic there seems to be abuse from any angle and viewpoint. That being said Carney being put right by Leeds isn't a bad thing, it's a response I would have liked to have seen from City everytime a journo or hanger-on talked badly about us in this way.

Carney doesn't deserve the incredible barrage of shit thrown at her, but she does deserve to have it pointed out to her that she's talking out of her arse.

If the person in the studio or the journalist on twitter didn't spout unfounded, ill thought out rubbish, trolls would struggle to be seen/heard. If you are going to get paid to appear on a TV programme the viewers expect a level of research and knowledge otherwise you are just a bloke (woman) down the pub. I fully understand why City don't take on the twitter idiots but I wish we would do what Leeds did when the Sky/BT idiots mouth off.

Meanwhile even the Daily Mail reporting Mourhino "mocking" the PL with some posts on Instagram about the game being postponed.

we defo now know if we didn't anyway ? that all football clubs in premier league uefa and fifa all hate us big time

i blame the media sky bbc and BTsports all the damage they have done over the years and manchester city just letting it go without punishment or a challenge. it has now left us in this bad place as us vs the world
we could have should have stopped it years ago when mancini was in charge and the media witch hunt lead by skysports and sunday supplement in calling out our owners and mancini in the sacking of hughes

they went to far and from that day on the media have had the upper hand and manchester city never challange it or take them to court ? even the liverpool spy gate tapping into our scouting reports city settled out of court without a fight or a public apology by liverpool

look its easy to say we are a big club and have some sway on the board of the premier league to pull a game at the drop of a hat ? but sadly its not like that and that is united and liverpool major plus

so we are talking about covid-19 and when players and coaching staff are infected what other option did we have
we had to take arsenal word for it in the first lockdown because they was in contact with Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis ?

everton have taken the piss and they know it ? playing a silly game in the media will only back fire on them
because just like the incredible hulk don't make us angry you will not like us when we are angry

Think the Mirror or the Echo published a story with the headline ‘Why are City fans booing Milner?’ when as you said he wasnt even playing

Arteta gets it and the league soon got suspended at a time I guess sky BT etc had secured their revenues for 2019 2020

Every fucker gets it only a third of the season completed (considered cups in this) ...fuck off we need our money

Fuck off, you can get pleasure from a string of anal beads!
