He’s a lot more pro City than he used to be although admittedly he started from a very low base.

Loved his comment about Walker - “it’s as if he’s on a motorbike”

This will be next City cheating scandal. Especially since we already have a quad.

As previous wars have proven. Even if Khaldoon went to Moscow and got Putin to surrender and give a TV apology before being arrested. The Yanks would claim they asked him to do it. Therefore, the USA are the heroes.

The blockbuster film would have squeaky bum Joe leading the delegation.

I haven’t, it’s on iplayer, so just had a look. You’ve got your knickers in a twist about Micah saying ‘some people call Man City boring’ he then says ‘they’re outstanding, the way they starve the opposition of the ball’ or words to that effect

Do you really think that’s bang out of order saying that, or did you actually mishear what he said?

He's said the same and defended City on five live or Sky before yesterday. He's honest and it irritates those who jump on his back immediately they think he said anything critical about the club.

Manchester City's owner's commercial strategy is vindicated as financial success has followed the trophies.

Those financial journalists who cannot accept facts demonstrate have no integrity, and have been shown to have no integrity. This has been an emphatic victory for Manchester City's fanbase but the war will continue, and our opponents will continue to fight dirty.

If you want fair coverage of Manchester City then you will have to provide that coverage yourself and boycott the scab press in doing so. That is a pointed message to those Manchester City fans who still contribute in the Guardian whilst the newspaper keeps up a relentless campaign against City who this weekend considered it appropriate in their football match report to repeat the claims of a British MP who questioned whether City's Arab owner was "a fit and proper person to be owning a football club, saying it would be good to see the back of him."

Britain is the home of militarism, and the Guardian regards Britain as a leader of the free-world. It's sickening to read in a time of war so please do not support it by commenting in it. That is how you monetise criticism of Manchester City.

Well, there are no trains from the North to London that weekend, so the above sounds like a good option. Although in a realistic, Non FA world, surely it would make sense to have it at The Swamp or Goodison, like the Good Old Days!!!

Can get from the North to the south via Sheffield to St Pancras. Its getting back that's the issue

Nick Harris is a dick - he's making himself look silly on Twitter and the only ones responding to his crap are the red shite fans - and not even many of those and his merry journo mates Adam Crafton et el.

Any respected Journalist is staying clear of this loon's posts about City

TLDR: Nick, you're a bitter fool of a man.

This is true. It's almost like he is just trying to generate traffic by tweeting ill-informed half-truths to a simple following. Shame on anyone rolling him out as any kind of expert.

It's disappointing, because there is a great story to be told about Mansour, Khaldoon and the rest, their positions in the Middle East business world and how they have turned City into the success it is on and off the field.

Some of it could be done by a serious financial journalist (I don't mean Harris) and some by a serious sports journalist (if such a thing exists any more).

Hell, I may even give it a go myself if I ever have time.

Manchester City: Government critical of owner Sheikh Mansour's meeting with Syrian president

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is criticised by the UK government for recently meeting with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

Nick Harris. Former MUEN I think?

He could write: It’s a miracle. Manchester City win the u18 league, Premier League 2, Caraboa Cup, Champions League and (cough) Premier League (checks script) all in the same season. It’s all true but if he keeps going on in this way he might persuade some sheep to doubt it.
Ps I know we didn’t win the Champions League but the Guardian journalist code allows for one inaccuracy minimum in each story to strengthen the point.
