Are you suprised?

I had the misfortune to come across the following piece this morning.

Erling Haaland will succeed at Man City, but sad transfer truth can't be escaped

Manchester City have secured one of world football's brightest prospects in Erling Haaland but they will not win many friends if they signed the Borussia Dortmund striker for one particular reason

www.mirror.co.uk

Premise appears to be that City may have only struck a deal to buy Haaland to deny other clubs from signing him and that there is something vulgar about strengthening our squad when the goal return has been so high this season. Where do you start with such shameless, hateful clickbait?

You just ignore it.

Évra is a rag who had to play for those clowns as the balance of power shifted across Manchester ...the definition of a bitter sore loser

As a certain age-addled fucker once mumbled, "sometimes you just have to put up with noisy neighbours".

I know it’s the Mail but Martin Samuel nails it, once again. The last paragraph sums it all up perfectly!

UEFA still looking after chosen ones​

UEFA have revamped their rules regarding financial fair play. Now, it is about sustainability. A major change is that clubs can lose roughly £60million over three years - double what was previously allowed.

How fortuitous that this should come in just at the moment major influencers like Manchester United and Barcelona need to spend big to get back in the game. What a coincidence.

Yet in some areas the rules have been tightened. External agencies will more closely monitor sponsorship deals with third parties, particularly those brands that might have close relations with the owners. It's a rule that would allow Manchester United, say, to strike deals with companies in Saudi Arabia - but outlaw the same for Newcastle.

Why don't UEFA just bring in a rule that says: whatever Manchester City are doing is illegal. It would save a lot of time, insider networking and hypocrisy.

Pity that this article will be lost on the masses as it's not in the Sun. The general opinion of us will never change. Still, It's a nice piece and so true, well done Martin.

So nothing to do with us needing a specialist centre forward. Utter garbage wouldnt even link it let alone open it

It’s not in the comments. It’s the news feed when you can text in and they put the “best” comments on the page between news items. So someone running the page has specifically pulled that text out from hundreds to put it up on the feed.

In that case, bastards..

Isn't that the point? It's easier said than done. I stumbled across it while searching for something else. This kind of prejudiced shite has infected all corners of the mainstream media.

The irony is that every time we've struggled to score or dropped points there have been articles about us needing a striker as the false 9 clearly isn't working. Now we buy a striker and...
