An unbelievably bitter article from someone who seems to have personal issues. He describes United as more watchable than City in recent years. That is an absurd comment. Not even the most bitter of bitter United fans would agree with that view.

"But of course the main problem is, and always has been, the money. City represent the ruthlessly efficient application of overwhelming financial firepower and there simply is not a lot of magic about that story."

or

"City spend the money they have well and I don't like it."
 
I'll say it again, these media hacks just want clicks and fan engagement. It's how they justify and/or get their jobs.

So they write stuff they barely believe because they know City fans will get angry and share it across different platforms.

You're not taking guys like this to task, you're doing exactly what they want and they're laughing at you.

Just block and ignore them!

Reading the Ken Early tripe about Saturday's match, found this paragraph amusing. Considering how the game in question that he's reporting on was actually settled.

The gap grows every time a crowd screams “SHOOT” when a player gets the ball in space within 30 yards of goal. Players today are told to avoid shooting from distance by coaches who have studied the stats and know precisely how low the chances of scoring from out there really are. Teams now aim to work the ball into a better position before pulling the trigger. The result is that the long-range screamer – arguably the most thrilling sight in football – is being optimised out of the game. Football evolves, while the fans pine for what’s been lost.

It’s as if he didn’t even watch the game

This bit:

Has to be about the most dishonest, specious load of bollocks I can remember reading in quite while. Our player retention is second to none.

The problem is that people believe it. Five live had two supposedly City fans bragging how we are turning the pl into a one team competition that we will dominate for the next 20 years. One was a mate of Robbie Savage who he claimed was the Macclesfield groundsman, employed by him two weeks ago. Sutton was acting surprised at the callers, but it just seemed a setup, and I have never heard any City supporter come out with the embarrassing crap those two callers came out with.

It's become the latest fashion amongst media types.

Just making my way through this article.

United are more watchable than City the last few years he's written.

Someone check his mental status. He's on drugs

Ah, but “jeopardy” innit?
Apparently football is all about “jeopardy” now, according to entitled redshirts raised on direct and comparatively unsophisticated 90s football. You know, the sort Klopp still plays.
If they want jeopardy they should stick to watching Squid Game.
Or maybe book a seat on the City/Madrid team bus trying to enter Anfield safely
 
Most of the sports press/media in this country arent interested sport just getting clicks.

If the sport press/media where interested in sport than journalists would be looking into why utd got away with their game against liverpool being postponed. Or what action was taken over the fake bomb.
Again journalists would be questioned why liverpool where only fined 17k for the coach attack and no arrests. Or the internet hacking. Or the 40 false positives.

The press/media say we are boring to watch lol. I am watching the best football ever played in the premier league and these numptys think its boring. Our players at all levels have a first touch to die for ( most;) ). Their footballing brains are two moves ahead of play !.

Pep has changed the way football is ball at every level. Yet the press/media wa t to hang their hats on the two red hoof ball teams. Let them

All very big stories yet chosen not to investigate by the British press/media.

All I know is I am watching the best team, best football, best manager and the best club ever in my life time (60yrs).

Sadly the press in this country dont want to recognised this fact. They does seem to be a slow change from pundits and ex players now.

Personally I think utd are great comedy value

It's ironic that he's called Ken 'Early'. Yet he's coming out with the oldest take on our football going. My rag mates have been pushing that tripe for years.

James Ducker isn't in the whatsapp group. Great piece on Bernardo today and the game report yesterday was without any of the crap:

Pep Guardiola creates a winning culture not seen since Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United

One of the biggest compliments you can pay Manchester City under Pep Guardiola is that you can easily forget when big players are missing.

Usually telegraph behind paywall but these aren't for me.

Ken Early: Manchester City’s dominance a reminder the rich always get their way

Money wins titles, but Guardiola’s style lacks excitement that club’s fans – and players – seek

Seems our win over Chelsea didn't please everyone.

If he’d chosen QPR, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, luton etc he wouldn’t find himself feeling anywhere near as salty. No prancing around his little hamlet ,chest puffed out, to be had in one of their shirts though.

A few weeks ago BBC had yet another documentary with some sort of rag connection. This time it was about Macc Town but Savage featured a lot.
As part of the hyping it up they had Savage and a bloke who was said to have appointed Savage on Breakfast.
For a supposed successful businessman this bloke came over as a right drip with nothing about him. There no indication from him he supported City at all rather an plcation he was another rag.
