Have they handed the title to the Rag's yet? I can't be arsed clicking on them.

Just the six articles on the BBC Sport site this morning about our defeat to Spurs.

What I read was fair though. Triumphalist coverage from opposing fans in the Guardian. Regrettably, some City fans feel compelled to contribute to our enemy's coffers.

I reported a handful of comments for blatant trolling so it becomes a cost not a benefit for the Guardian. Do it legitimately and they can't complain.

Only 1 game but Mason Greewood looks good. As did Pogba. We really need to get our act together now.

We'll see it pans out. Either way we are in for a rough ride this season.

I’m starting to come to the conclusion that you don’t like the Guardian very much, Marvin.

I'm not sure where to start with this. The irony of a guy whose job it is to hype up the possibility of clubs spending vast sums of money on players. Yet it offends his morals when the most successful team of the last decade breaks the transfer record using money to quote his own words we have "generated ourselves" by being successful after, shock horror, an initial period of heavy investment by ambitious owners. What they have done is offensive to him whereas the Glazer model is somehow being lauded.

You would think from listening to these people that the Rags achieved their position at the start of the PL era by sprouting organically from nowhere. It's nauseating.

When this utter oxygen thief and Jim Shite get together on transfer deadline day the spending of money and breaking of records is seen as something to celebrate. His employers have done perhaps more than anyone to create the conditions whereby football has become big business, an arms race between the biggest clubs to sign the best players. Yet somehow his indignation is reserved for just one club.

At least we have Mike Wedderburn fighting our corner occasionally on there (I wish he could take over at the Etihad on matchdays from Hugh Ferrretface).

I need to take a break from twatter for a while to avoid Uberkunts like Kaveh!

Imagine Sky dedicating time to complain about City spending £100m on Grealish without realising the money came from them.

Surely they arent as fucking stupid as they appear?

Anyone could see that was 11 players wearing a City shirt,but it very much wasn't anything approaching a real City team.So to try and pretend Spurs beat anything other than a B team is fucking comical,and will mean fuck all when we introduce our first choice players.

It appears last seasons similarities,in respect of our start,have been conveniently wiped from memory.

FI. Why let recent history and facts get in the way of a storyline that kicks City and lauds their favourites. The writers love it and they have papers to sell and clicks to garner. They are anything but stupid. They need revenue and to appease their readership and owners.

I see the Mail are running an article on Jack Grealish liking some pics on Instagram put up by a female love island contestant. The media seem to be going out of their way to prove how utterly worthless they are.
