Why the ruthlessly brilliant, widely unpopular Man City deserve our respect

Pep Guardiola has created a team that defends in swarms, manipulates space and restricts their opponents options – yet the side’s success is often derided.

Just more bollocks. Liew, Ronay, Wilson, Delaney, all of the WhatsApp gang, their new modus operandii is to don a mask of ostensible fair-mindedness in which they acknowledge the greatness of the current City team (pretending otherwise would be frankly absurd), but then deliver the politically motivated payload - unloved, state funded, no sporting jeopardy, FFP, under investigation, etc, etc. I’m so fucking bored of them it isn’t true. None of them have got girlfriends

Or as some else put it recently on here, the turd sandwich philosophy. They have switched their tactics, possibly because even their own readership were starting to raise their eyebrows at the shite they were still peddling.

What a self own that comment was, in the context it was said.

yet the forces that helped them to flourish in the first place – weak regulation, a lack of oversight, the moral desertion that allows repressive states to own cherished community assets – will not.

<Sigh>.... I can't even be bothered to explain how backwards that is. Maybe that's their strategy? "Keep slinging the mud and ignoring them, until they give up".

Perhaps it has just dawned on them that they have missed a revolution in English football. They are so behind the curve they have made fools of themselves. What Pep has done is a huge story on a par with Ajax in the 70s, the great Brazil team, and of course Barca. His influence could even lead to England winning a World Cup.
But they have made the biggest mistake for any journalist. They have missed the story and it will damage their future careers. They are a bit like the music critics who slagged off the Beatles for their haircuts.

"City know that they’ll never be as big as United or as loved as Liverpool or as cool as Paris Saint-Germain. And they know that their age of supremacy, like all ages, will eventually pass. Whether it’s due to the departure of Guardiola, the arrival of new pretenders, legislative challenges from Uefa or the Premier League (which is still investigating potential financial irregularities at the club)"

Liew talks about City's owner and then describes PSG as cool. What an imbecile.
 
Not sure this is the right thread but... Does anyone else think there's a growing trend of rival fans posing as City fans on twitter and youtube etc. Then making weird shouts like "Sell KDB" or "Sell Foden"?

Maybe it's just me missing the sarcasm but surely nobody is simple enough to think that would work? If they are being serious.

Don’t have to go on Twitter or Youtube for weird shouts to sell KDB, just go on the matchday thread. There are a few ‘City’ fans on there every game telling us he is finished in every game and one fùcking absolute loon/weirdo proposed a straight swap for Ward-Prowse in the last game!?!

So no need to diversify for your weekly quota of loons, Bluemoon has its very own, appearing in every single fùcking match day thread.

Beat me to it!!

Twitter is a cesspit though. I once made the mistake of adding a MCFC page in Facebook. Jesus!! makes Twitter look sane. Weirdness everywhere. Lasted about 5 minutes after being accepted in!

As loved as Liverpool??? Can only assume he is referring to to his media mates and not the general populus
