Apparently "fans flocked to Deansgate in their hundreds" (you could tell he didn't even feel right saying hundreds as it was obviously a piss take to try and mock us by whoever wrote the Autocue lines)

Man City win a 14th major trophy of the Sheikh Mansour (6PL, 2 FA Cups, 6 League Cups), or 61% of their trophies in 7.7% of their history. Six: trophies won since PL launched investigation, in March 2019 and ongoing, into alleged financial wrong-doing.

Only fit and proper to acknowledge the astonishing job that Man City's commercial team have done since Sheikh Mansour bought the club, allowing them to hire and pay the world's best coaches and players. A stadium naming rights deal worth £15m in 2013.

This is a world-beating operation, from the players and backroom staff to those generating the money to pay for it all. Naming rights in football are HARD to do but as long ago as 2013, City had the best deal in ALL OF GLOBAL SPORT.

Possibly only PSG can rival Man City in recent times for building such an authentic, organic, meritocratic culture - in which the likes of Mbappé and Haaland want to get involved - to highlight that success is built on hard work and talent.

City have had some less salubrious moments OFF the pitch this season, including asking a paedophile to gaslight his victims in the High Court. But look at the silverware! Four PL titles in five years; six in 11 years. Love the glory; look away from the rest

This corker from The Athletic’s Data Analytics writer, no less, Mark Carey, from about 02:46.

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-athletic-football-podcast/id1488521447?i=1000563208208

Carey trots out the familiar statistic of Manchester City and Liverpool having picked up 358 and 357 points respectively in the last four seasons, whilst omitting from his ‘analysis’ (which is actually not analysis at all, but merely simple addition) the fact that in the last five seasons, all of which have been contested in full by both Guardiola’s City and Klopp’s Liverpool, City are 26 points clear of Liverpool. The ‘data analyst’ actually omitting our 100-point season, because it didn’t fit the narrative.

Analyse 4 titles v 1. Close, it ain’t.



We could go back quite some time before the points balance tips into Liverpool’s favour. But using the start of the first season both current managers were in charge seems the only useful point of comparison.

What Winston Churchill.really meant was 'Lies, damned lies and fucking statisticians'.
The numbers don't lie, just those using them.

Just remember this cracker from the media ( before we made it 4 from 5 ) " Manchester City and liverpool have shared the title for the last 4 seasons " Now correct me if I am wrong but if I shared 4 beers with a mate and I only got 1 wouldn't you be a tad disaappointed!

They did something similar when we won the league at Brighton.
We went on that 14 game unbeaten run and the tramps was about 6 unbeaten yet the media said we was both on a 20 game unbeaten run.

I was like WTF you on about?

Unbelievable Jeff.

The BBC are giving us decent coverage on their Football web page. Must have given the usual warped reporters the night off.

They've probably all had a meltdown after Sunday.

Tent Peg to break City and dippers hold on the league. I need a lie down after that statement.
