Mainstream media is a cancer on society.

"It's a rule that would allow Manchester United, say, to strike deals with companies in Saudi Arabia - but outlaw the same for Newcastle."

Amazing

I actually read that as a blue taking the piss. That's the problem with writing things on forums etc. - nobody gets to see your face to know the context.

Keown on talk sport calling out the commentary of Gary Neville of being bias shouting for a pen straight away and him highlighting the Arsenal fouls where he kept quite about spurs plus no replays of Son elbow!

Nice some else sees hearing what we have being saying about the commentary plus bet the bloke on Var hears them to which an influence them.

the shout nothing in that far to often when one of the beloved teams for var not to be listening or influence decision

This epitomises the type of article we see about city and yet we are accused of paranoia when we say there is an agenda. I mean what is the journalistic purpose of the article? There isn't one, it's just an individual spouting off bitter drivel like some drunk in the pub after their team has been beaten. "Shame on them"? for what exactly? Daring to spend some money that we made from selling on another player to buy the world's best forward for a third of his market price? Or daring to do what other historic top 4 clubs have been doing for decades? What's even more tragic is that an editor has actually approved this drivel. Actually, do editors even exist these days or does each journalist have the ability to type up an article after a few beers and just hit 'publish'?

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

Not one post in the comments section agrees with Dunn. Presumably he wants us to stand still and give the rags and that poor club whose whole squad suffer from chronic diabetes problems the chance catch up. The idiot and his media mates have been telling everyone that Liverpool have the best strike force in the world, but not a word was said when they signed Diaz in January. Let's all enjoy their suffering.

Can't be that good. We've scored more goals than them and we don't even have a striker

Man City's jarring Champions League final defeat points to inevitable summer transfer - Andy Dunn - Mirror Online

They won it a canter without, on the whole, fielding a conventional striker.

The debate has rumbled on as to whether that was down mainly to Guardiola’s genius or whether the shortcomings of others meant they had got away with it.

Proceedings in Porto on Saturday night settled that debate once and for all.

Harry Kane, or even Erling Haaland, will probably be in a City jersey next season.

Guardiola bemoaned the fact that his players manufactured half-chances from getting in behind but not having anyone to arrive and convert cross-box balls.

There’s a solution to that - and he is the England captain.

While the absence of an attacking focal point was only one of City’s struggles against Chelsea, it was a glaring one.

If Pep had any reservations about Kane fitting into this City set-up, then surely they are gone now.

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

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?

Funny that Andy Dunn should say that.
Here's an article from 13 months ago, where he sagely proposes that City need a centre-forward like Harry Kane or that uh, what's his name..? Erling Haaland.

Man City's jarring Champions League final defeat points to summer transfer

Man City were unable to break down Chelsea in their Champions League final defeat which served to shine a spotlight on their lack of striker ahead of a potential summer transfer
