Spot on. I'd bet a pound to a pinch of shit that most of these bitter hacks had never heard of the likes of Ederson, Zinchenko, Rodri, Fernandinho, Jesus, Dias, and Laporte or the recently departed Torres before City signed them. KDB was widely regarded as a Chelsea flop who wouldn't succeed at City. Some of them said they'd never heard of Yaya and Silva when City signed them either.It’s called buying wisely you daft cunts
I wouldn’t be able to do my job without it ; )You deserve it: you are full of soulless ice.!
In under two decades we’ve gone from nobody knows our name to pretend they don’t exist.
Don't forget our Zabba.Spot on.

You are absolutely right with this comment. I am a Guardian reader but they have become unbearably smug on a number of issues of late. I rarely click on any of their sports comments or reports anymore, occasionally will read a City match report but only if it's an away game as otherwise it's written by Jackson. Genuinely believe one of my whippets can write better than him. Can't remember when I last read anything by Ronay, he writes the same nonsense about us all the time.These insinuations appear so regularly in The Guardian, both among staff writers and freelancers such as Wilson, and the language used is so similar on each occasion that it can only be the result of a deliberate editorial line their sports journalists are being encouraged to push at every opportunity. It's clearly done in the utmost bad faith, as well, as they continually present highly contentious assertions as fact.
What irritates me is the nauseatingly smug level of moral authority they try to project when doing this. Be a set of shameless fake-news liars in the modern style if you really want to, chaps, but don't try and fucking gaslight us. We're not stupid enough to fall for it and we see right through you, vile racist propagandists that you are.
This!!Spot on.

And no problem when Liverpool won 7 out of 10 Division 1 titles. All the talk was of the brilliance of the winners rather than tears for those trailing in their wake.But of course there was no problem when the rags won 13 of the first 21 Premier League titles wasn't it?
They see what they want to see and nothing more and as you say in a later comment it is laziness, a need to fill column inches in a 24 hour news society. What can we write about that's easy? I know something derogatory about City.Only if you are on the receiving end of it! And wasn't Wolves 'n Palace a struggle, and we didn't get into gear at Haringey. Those games were mighty struggles! This is just another article by some chancer who is clearly addressing a minority from London, Trafford 'n Anfield.
