So are you. You support Manchester City. You must be a stubborn sod to do that unless you're less your less than ten years old.

Marvin,
I think this must be a first for you ... a near enough swear word.
Oh I say young man !!

 

[Marvin]

He makes a lot of decent points but the ongoing obsession with the idea that the Guardian is responsible for virtually all the evil in the world is becoming very boring.

I could make much the same points about the Telegraph, the Times, the Daily Mail and the Sun. And there would be more truth in such allegations.

No you couldn't. They don't have an intellectual dislike for Emirati wealth. It offends the liberals sensibilities. They are methodist preachers who believe in co-operatives and the inherent superiority of parliamentayr democracy. You don't understand politics. Some people are motivated by it. That's all they live for.

Nicolas Mcgeehan, David Conn, people like that are idealists. ALl of a sudden Manchester City are in their line of sight. There are also commercial reasons for the Guardian to be hostile to City because they have a business strategy based around active journalism whereby they want their readers to comment because once they do, they go back and back again.

That post proves my point!

There are plenty of them in the media but the Guardian is the home of people who are motivated by ideals and that's what makes them a relentless foe who will never ever give up.

Watched that fan debate on YouTube there the Overlap with Neville Keane and Carragher
Was quite enjoyable and refreshing to hear the likes of Carragher say United have spent more than city on their squad and started naming the price of their players. Also Neville was saying one of the things United always did was go out and sign the best British talent out there and should be after Kane

who was the presenter? One of the things has been bugging me throughout

 

[blue b4 the moon]

On my phone the bbc site has the pundits listed on the left hand side and it starts with Shearers prediction. The pundits are not in any order so why have they listed the 7 pundits saying Chelsea will win it before the 13 that say City will win it ?

If they were going in team alpha order then the predictions with the dips in third spot would be higher than the third place rag predictions.

It's all bollocks, one of hundreds of sly shithousery actions produced by our very own self-styled bastion of fairness and honesty.

Watched it and agree with your analysis. Decent debate with no real snidey remarks from the ex rags/Scouser. Neville knows we are changing tact and moving to buy the best of British. The desperation for the scum to buy Kane was laughable. How many forwards do they want to stockpile? Overall not a complete waste of an 1hr.

 

[blueju]

Anyone hear any criticism of Chelsea, highest spenders last summer with around £230m splashed and just followed City in spending £100m on a player (give or take a few quid)
No? Me either.

Conclusion - City are seen as more of a threat, and also Pep is a factor. Football fans can't help but knock him

They’re still salty he chose ickle old ciddy.

I am Cressida Knob and I shall be authorising your arrest shortly.

That's Dame Cressida Knob to you.

 

[KS55]

Headline in The Guardian: City ready to pay €150m for Kane. That’s right euros, apparently now the currency of the UK. The article does go on the mention this is £127m. Still, I’m surprised they didn’t go the whole hog and report the number in Turkish Lira to make it seem a really massive amount.

All cross Europe transfers are denominated in Euros.

Here is a way to stop the trolling of Manchester City hosted by Guardian football. Simply report every such post. And you don't need an account to do it. Simply go through the comments, and report any comment you find to be trolling, and the Guardian will have to assess it.

If they want to grow their digital presence by attacking and trolling Manchester City then there will be an administrative cost to doing so. Be a good Citizen.

I did that with HYS for a while, but their replies (two per reporting) clogged up my inbox.

The Guardian are outraged by wealth, and a country with dodgy human rights issues is a dream made in heaven for them to attack. It's running in huge negative equity that paper so hopefully it's final days aren't too far away

 

[Fordyboy46]

' with mega clubs like Manchester City simply buying league and cup victories at any cost'. That was just a snippet from yesterdays I paper Katherine Lucas the journalist. Why do they never bother to mention the rags spending in all of this, the club who've spent more than us these past ten years and have won very little. Which of these parasites has the bollocks to start questioning utd's spending?

"whereby they want their readers to comment because once they do, they go back and back again."

Well they've got you going back and back again Marvin, I swear you're the only BM poster who actually reads the damn thing.

You're right of course,forgot my place in life's great layer cake.

And it does make the rest of the football world get their eyes on stalks the bigger the number! I think we are gonna get the entire fleet of Wells Fargo stagecoaches ridden through any notion of MCFC prudence in the transfer market. Personally, I think we should fuck Levy off and make do with a top four place rather than get shafted for a player who strikes me as being another sick note who can score goals. And I bet a meat 'n potato pie to a Bovril he fucks over the first pen!

Yes, Kane is too old and injury prone for me. Shearer gave up internationals at 28(?) because the accumulation of injuries was compromising him. Torres is a possible striker, I think. There is also Delap.
Oh, and Eddie should take our pens.
