Never has a good word to say about us.Same as Hinchcliffe who i have it on good authority is a rag.

If that doesn't sully the 5 gesture nothing will.

Trevor Francis is another miserable ****, saying that I haven't heard him for ages so presume Sky finally sacked his miserable arse.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

The last week has been something for the blues with two outstanding performances against Chelsea and Liverpool and seeing some of our boys impress in the Internationals as well.

I am just looking back at some of the games and was wondering if some of the individual outstanding performances or moments were done by our players vs players from other teams.

1) Rodri Block off the line in Liverpool Game! If that was VVD or maybe a defender from Man United or Chelsea the celebration by the media would have been enormous. But Rodri's Block is no where to be seen

2) Bernardo's individual dribble past 6 Liverpool players and possibly could have had the assist of the season! Granted that Mo Salah's goal was a worldie but no one wants to talk about Bernardo Silva cause he is a City Player. If Bernardo was doing this in a Red shirt or dark blue shirt, it would have been something out of this world!

3) Bernardo Silva in the Chelsea game! Has to be the performance of the season in the PL if not the world!

I can go on and on. I'm just tired of our players rarely getting the credit they deserve compared to players from other teams just because they play for City. Look at Ferran Torres, hasn't even started for the last 3 games and managed to bag a brace against Europe Champions Italy and guide Spain to the final!

Whatever it is that we are doing at City, it is working and no one is liking the new kid on the block!

True regarding dippers and rags but Chelsea get no more favourable coverage than us. In London media right up Tottenham's arse in spite of no title win for s

Sixty years.Cant understand it but some teams count and some don't.

 

[Corky]

There are 100+ pro clubs in England who get far less attention than City.

NBC sport “City” fan Lee Dixon screams “Brilliant” after both Liverpool goals, silence after Fodens and instantly after KDB’s “He’s not given this yet Arlo, Foden looks offside to me and then Sterling is blocking the keepers view of the ball” Narrative shmarrative or paranoia?

What a prick

Just to give you all a heads up in advance there is an extensive interview with Saint Marcus on bbc breakfast in the morning.No doubt interviewed by Slly Sally !

“Good authority” he says !!!!

Henry Winter on R4 this morning talking about Newcastle's takeover said...

Why should the fans be the moral compass of the country especially as we, as a country, trade billions with them.

I was so shocked at this stance I nearly forgot what the previous 12 years have been like for City fans.

The f*cking bullshit we've had to put up with since the takeover???

Sorry but I have to clarify your point ….. so you’re saying that your presumably ecstatic memories of that wonderful moment in our history are now sullied because a complete stranger online claims to have it on “good authority” (lol) that Hinchy is a rag. ??

Go and have a lie down mate, you’ll feel better in the morning.

That’s because Trevor Francis is another Rag ****!

Liam Thorpe, Political Editor for the Liverpool Echo is on Sky News saying it's a dark day for football. Said us PSG and now Newcastle are all state owned. Tosser!!!

Until we constantly challenge this lie,they will keep on saying it or writing it,strange thing is it’s only the last couple of years that this has started being mentioned/written,it’s now the en vogue thing to say this about City …

Wouldn’t you just love it if Putin’s puppet Kadyrov the Chechen tiger owning nutter somehow took over Everton, pumped billions in and put the dippers firmly in the shade.

Imagine the outrage, the vigils, the sense of victimhood

 

[johnnytapia]

Yes. Football Focus, and the news earlier in the week, repeated the myth that Roger Hunt was a dedicated, one-club man throughout his career. No mention that he finished his playing career with 3 seasons at Bolton Wanderers.

This thread has hit peak paranoia: Football Focus didn’t mention a dead Liverpool player serving out his time at Burnden Park. Fucking brilliant. Next up, Nat Lofthouse once baked a cake for Bill Shankly and City never got a mention. Cry me a river

Are you okay?

You seem to have let a comment by a stranger on the internet bother you enough to make you interact.

If you don't understand that the 5-1 isn't sullied but a guy holding up his hand saying 5 would be slightly sullied if he turned out to be a rag and not a blue as it implied at the time then ok.

His commentry alone sullies anything he done on the pitch for us, regardless of what another poster said about him.

The man's a bitter ****.

Fucking Hinchy lol tell your pal he's a shite commentator when you see him next.

The irony is that right under the Liverpool Echo's nose is Everton FC owned ostensibly by Moshiri but who has life long links with Uzbekistan's Alisher Usmanov whose firm sponsors the training ground. Usmanov has probably much more power and influential than Sheikh Mansour but a very low profile because Everton are no threat to anyone at the moment.

It is a weird world you reside in that's for sure.

I’m interacting with you because that’s what online forums are for… you say something and I say something back and BOOM we have a discussion going.

But nothing you or anyone else could say about Hinchy or Lakey or Bish or Trev or any of our great heroes that day could sully the memory of Sept 23rd 1989 for me and I’m surprised that even if Hinchy were as anti City as you say ( and frankly that’s an absurd juvenile notion) it could change your perception of what he and all that team did for us that day.

Did you not read the part that said It wouldn't sully the result?

You surely don't need it explained to you again right?

BTW Dropping in mild insults is the very essence of juvenility I'd say and all for some random comment is very bizarre.

I may be wrong here, but Henry Winter was a journalist that City put the charm offensive on a few years ago and since then he's been largely positive about City and the ownership, I think. We don't notice anymore because he's become a Liverpool lover as of late but I don't think he's an anti-Arab owner kind of guy these days.

No, in fairness I just saw your one comment #4417 and was replying to that. But regardless of whether it sullies the result for you or not you did say that Hinchy’s questionable outing as a rag by another poster sullied his gesture.

You seem to be taking the old idiom “Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see” the wrong way round
