The power of the tv football pundit.

No mention of the hacking-rich club.

Still pandering to the coach wreckers.

Oil rich Manchester City, the constant drip, drip of negativity about our club, of course i always want us to win everything but fuck me i hope we win the lot this year just to rub these cunts noses in it, it’s just unrelenting from these cunts and the drooling braindead masses just lap it up.

They must be cooking the books, you can only do that oil money they told us.

I told them that within minutes of the Cheltenham game predictably we got to know about the wages of the City team. Oddly Gary Lineker did not mention his own salary was more annually than Cheltenham's entire squad.

Great point mate, people like Lineker cannot see the irony in highlighting the high salaries of others, while he rakes in vast sums from our tv licence taxes ...!! Can’t stand him or his dick suckers ...!

I was amazed we took no action on this.
It was like asking David Attenborough in a public interview if it was true he was a paedophile because the BBC had covered up Jimmy Savile’s activities in the 70s and 80s

That's a great comparison because the fact Harris couched his allegation as a question makes no difference at all in terms of defamation. I have never been one who thinks City should become a club which spends its whole time taking legal action against the media. You have to pick your battles carefully. But this incident was unprecedented, especially in a sporting context just minutes after a team had won the treble.
I am still amazed that City did not react to it not least because, given the reporter's track record of personal comments about City's owners, it left a wide open goal for lawyers to argue that the defamation may have been driven by malice with potentially more serious repurcussions in terms of damages. I think the incident is probably now out of time.

Considering FFP has been going since 2010-11. And UEFA have stitched City up once. And tried to stitch City up again. Whilst checking our finances every season. The Rag and Scouse infested football media still lie about City being bankrolled by an oil-rich owner, even though they all know that hasn’t been the case for years. The lieing anti-City narrative continues to this day.

Maybe a flag/sign at city stating ‘the state of mancunia’?
Only joking we’re not that scummy

Absolutely, it was a tap-in.

It always makes me laugh when the Rags come out with all this "Republik of Mancunia" bollocks when they're not even from Manchester.

Anyone seen that clown Dale Johnson on Twitter. Does nothing but spout shit and go on about how hard done by Liverpool are. I don't let many journalists annoy me but he is at the top
