Could've killed him.A vicious tackle that, how the Villa player didn't break Fernandez in two is erm extremely 'lucky'
I watched a Danish crime drama on Netflix called Warriors. It was set in Denmark, all the characters were Danish and there were no connections to or mentions of England whatsoever yet a kid with quite a significant part in it was on a couple of occasions seen wearing a City shirt.Agree locally that City are getting many more younger fans.
As an ever-growing city, Manchester is attracting more people from all over the world. Whereas perhaps in the past, newcomers would probably support MUFC perhaps due to cultural/religious influences (when I moved here in 1979, most Irish Catholic families were red followers), that has definitely changed.
Newcomers from say Africa, definitely have no historical links to supporting any Manchester club so you see more local youngsters wearing for example Arsenal/Chelsea shirts.
Outside Manchester, you now see far more City shirts/merch. This is definitely visible in South Wales where my family still live.
Having just moved to the North East, I have been pleasantly surprised that City also have followers up here.
Unfortunately, the UK media concentrate on the Red-top clubs and we wrongly assume that the next generation will fall for this obsessive coverage.
Kids are really smart and will make their own minds up. Phil Foden and Cole Palmer will help City continue to get more out-of-town support. Scott McTominay & Fred will also help to turn the tide...
I disagree. I think the media would put a "D" notice on it, to protect the club and themselves from the inevitable shit storm following the 60+ years of adulation they have given them. Either that, or they'll buy a bigger carpet.When the GPC pops his clogs, the shit will come out and the myth will be over.
Is that actually in a story passage ?French Footballer and one time target of Man City Karim Benzema guilty in sex tape trial.
No my friend but it wouldn’t surprise me given other articles.Is that actually in a story passage ?
No it wouldn't mate.No my friend but it wouldn’t surprise me given other articles.
Poison chalice imo. We become as big as Utd or lfc in terms of fanbase/clickbait then we attract the same shite - Self entitlement, Youtube leaches like AFTV/United Stand, the politics around the club, media spotlight (lfc) which isnt always good (utd), players becoming bigger than the club, the actual football being forgotten.When do we reach the cut off point when it makes commercial sense for the media to promote Manchester city? Will we ever get there? It seems like the media obsession with Man Utd is growing even though their club is declining. Our fanbase must have significantly eaten into theirs in Gtr Manchester over the last decade and surely that must be mirrored globally given that international fans should be more fickle than fans in Manchester and Salford with family connections and where the club is literally in the blood?
I was just thinking to myself about the media obsession with Man Utd's manager. I get the strong feeling that the media coverage is even more biased than ever despite Utd's fanbase declining. I put it down to increasing commercial pressure in the media. Surely at some point they are going to have to start writing for the City fanbase. We must be the 3rd best supported club in England now after Liverpool and utd.
