It's anything but ominous. We only needed to have scored one goal less in any of those drawn games and the Dippers to have scored one more in their drawn games and the scenario is completely different. I wonder how ominous that would be!

And United won it 8/11 times from 92/93 to 2002/03, of which only 2 were decided on the last day. Are people really nostalgic for that kind of dominance? Of our 6/11 wins 4 were decided on the final day.

Another gripe I have is that whenever anyone is talking about teams like united and Chelsea becoming a force again, they almost without exception say (in this exact order) that they are years away from getting close to "Liverpool and City". Why is it always that order? One team has won 6 of the last 10 (and 4 of the last 5) Premier League titles and one has won one.

I take that as them believing that the Dippers are catchable. Catching us is just a pipe dream

I would guess he's referring to us fighting the FFP charges? Can't really see it being anything else. Not with the blatant lies that gets told about us on a daily basis and continues to do so without censure.

I am in part happy to see and read this. If he wrote it he’s hurting. The manner of the win will mean he hurts badly. Imagine he’s had ten years of pain now and still more to come. What a thoroughly miserable existence. Like being a chef and losing your zest for food but still needing to cook.

Come on own up, who's been winding the rags up

BBC apologises after 'Manchester United are rubbish' appears on screen - BBC News




Don't know why their apologising, it's true

Unfortunately for PPV numbers we can’t compete with the rags and dippers.

Prefer the prize money!

Absolutely.

But PPV like shirt sales is no longer a good measure. Financially bigger and more important is success and commercial exposure that goes beyond fans and generates prize money but also media and sponsorship monies.

Matchday revenue and shirt sales are relatively minor.

It sums up a lot of Delaney and co’s attitude to City though. They are overwhelmingly obsessed with a hypothetical future where the last 5 years repeats ad infinitum rather than just looking at what’s happened to date.

A positive in-depth article in The Times.

How Manchester City won the title.
- From a faltering start to a strong finish, Paul Hirst and Pol Ballus dig deep to unearth the hidden factors that were key to success.

Times article (affiliate links removed)

I don’t know why you’re shocked, they’ve done an indentically in depth positive piece 4 times now.

The Times is the most pro-City paper in the country.
