It would be City’s fault.

Nah its all boiled dry now surely

Pep and the owners have the philosophy success breeds success. Winning trophies on the pitch keeps the other parts of the buisness successful.

The yanks had decided their teams just require champions League place to maintain costs and cream off profits.

Yet were the ones slated for having a club ethos that delights everyone in it.

Nor would it be enough to say that violence among Liverpool fans could be explained by unemployment, the crumbling and deliquescence of a doomed city.

The behaviour of Everton’s fans, in Rotterdam for the Cup Winners’ Cup Final two weeks before, had been exemplary.'

It takes a certain type of person to support a certain type of team.

Perhaps bitter, although I fear more he may have some mental issues surrounding his incessant use of Twitter, having pigeon-holed himself to the point he has no way of acknowledging facts when they conflate with his narrative.

Sympathy should always be extended to anyone who battles with mental issues, whatever they might be.

However, we can demonstrate little empathy for any journalist who may choose to compromise their profession by ignoring facts which are easily obtainable, for anyone who is diligent and competent enough to seek them out.

Pity would be the order of the day, in either regard.

Fully agree with this.

Delaney is allowing himself to be defined and completely consumed by the narrative he has created around this. He is a professional journalist but at the moment his behaviour and conduct is one of an activist.

It's a nuanced and complex issue but there should be a clear distinction between journalism and activism. Either way, Delaney is acting in an erratic and highly-emotional way so you have to worry that his professional life is affecting him personally.

When you look at the volume of tweets he sends, and also the times they are sent, it suggests very little boundary between his personal and work life. That simply can't be good for anyone's mental health no matter what job or sector you work in.

Not from me to him it shouldn’t.

I hope he drowns in a puddle of his own boiled piss.

Goldstein on talkSPORT asked a ridiculously leading question as to whether Rooney’s season at Derby would surpass Pep’s at City this season even if we win the title, were Rooney to keep Derby up which would be, according to Daft Andy, “one of the greatest achievements in the history of football”

It’s bizarre they never saw this coming. What people do know and admire about the Emirati’s, that they stop at nothing to have the best. If they’re not 100% confident that they are the best for the task at hand, then they will find the best.

You only need to watch that recent BBC documentary on Dubai or the Chanel 5 documentary on the QE2 hotel to see just how much detail they put into everything.

A very rich, highly educated & motivated man bought our football club. He then went about employing a highly educated, highly motivated and visionary Chairman who then sought out a highly motivated & visionary upper management team. They the bought into Sorriano vision of the CFG.

Is it any wonder we’ve stolen a march on clubs like Real, Barca, United etc ran by either half assed egomaniacs, jobs for the boys or self motivated self serving Americans.

They never saw this coming because, ironically, football is littered with historic and current instances of rich people throwing shed loads of money at clubs and it not resulting in success.

we are different

I can translate that to he is a bitter irrelevant ****.

Yet they’ve broken more ffp rules than the rest of the football league put together, sold the ground on to a family member to avoid further sanctions, and still pay one player £37k Pw. If it was an ex City player in charge the narrative would be completely different

I feel a bit sorry for him. He has allowed his head to be consumed so much by all things City he is completely obsessed with us.

that means he has lost any sense of objectivity - which is a key skill of a good journo

the mental gymnastics he must do criticising city fans on human right whilst choosing to TAKE MONEY from his Saudi owners must consume him too

He seems a nice lad. I hope he finds some peace
