Plus Lallana, Clyne, Lovren and Lambert.
No, silly!
"Lambert was known for his large stature and physical performances, drawing comparisons with former Southampton player, Matt Le Tissier..."

Apparently we beat a vey poor Watford side , when the Dippers beat them 2-0 a fortnight ago they were a tough resilient outfit , and not mentioning that Watford missed half a dozen chances given up by the best fullbacks and centre back in the world.
Astounding the amount of bullshit around Clubshop and his world class team

OLIVER HOLT: Manchester City's complicated pursuit of the Champions League is layered with resentments, jealousies, suspicions and ambivalence... but their dream to be one of football's great powers will not be fulfilled until they capture it
City fans, and the club hierarchy, have felt victimised by the European game over the years and in some ways, it is hard to blame them. The other members of the winners' club have made it plain since City was bought by Abu Dhabi in 2008 that they do not want them to join. City and their supporters are caught between telling them where to shove their marquee competition and craving the acceptance winning it would bring.

Listening to Johanthan Woodgate on Radio 5 live commentary on the Watford game and he stated the atmosphere at the Etihad is always quiet , how the f*ck would he know ? How many other league grounds are rocking for Watford F.C. at home ? It's like they have a script to follow from BBC Salford , they have to mention certain prompts , money , empty seats , Pep not happy , Grealish poor signing and a few more.
Never seen such negativity towards a football club which has now dominated for a decade and played the best football on the planet under the best manager , but whilst the 'istree clubs are controlling the media agenda ,we never will.

The quotes of him used on the bbc live website were always positive. Which was a shock!

"It grants access to the most exclusive membership group. It allows entry to the pantheon of European football aristocracy, with all the greats: Bayern Munich, Ajax, AC Milan, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester United, and so on."
I wonder why Ollie hasn't include Forest and Villa in the pantheon of European football aristocracry, or does their inclusion diminish his arguement, I wonder?
In the ST this morning Klippity bemoans the idea that if we win the title and they come second, and the quadruple so beloved of the RDAHMeedya only amounts to a Carabao Cup, the oodles, crateloads, containers, supertankers, the entire universe would not be sufficient to encompass the RESPECT their club, players, and presumably himself, deserve.
Doesn't take long before the notion of one way street respect emerges from the back streets of L4.
If it weren't for the accent yer'd swear the guy was born in Knotty Fuckin' Ash!

Haven't read it all but there is some stuff in there that is valid - we do detest the twats. What Holt should know is it's not about winning, or else we wouldn't have gone to games in our droves in the gold old days in the 3rd division.
I'm one of those who is not arsed about winning it really, it won't change my perception of our club.
Ferguson became manager at that place in 1986 and won it in 99. If we won it this year, it's about the same time give or take a year, since the takeover. They had no spending cap, no rules put in place to stop them, no other teams writing letters, teams rolling over in games and giving them their best players.
So you know what ..meh...I have never wanted to be part of their cartel and hear their stupid jingle. All that, might give the scribblers stuff to write about and means they don't have to embarrass themselves writing about the actual game.
Do I come across as bitter?

There is the Wolves game to be rearranged they have a fixture to be moved due to the fa cup final. I bet they will schedule it in between the Villa and West Ham game rather than the week before so we don’t get an opportunity to put more points on the board whilst they ain’t playing.

It's not an unfair article at all in my opinion.
Like you, neither am I arsed about winning the Champions League. The way I see it, even if it happens, it will change nothing.
In the same way that winning the league on goal difference wasn't enough, once upon a time back when they were hoping we'd be a flash in the pan, and then that changed to retaining the league becoming the benchmark, this CL demand is just an invitation to step onto another spiral of idiocy.
As soon as/ if we win the CL, we'll be told we only fluked or bought or stole it or got over the line in one freakishly poor season. If we were to win it even once more, we wouldn't be proving them wrong. Oh no, we'd be "ruining football".
It's a form of madness to expect eventual respect from your serial abusers and be in no doubt that City have largely been disrespected and abused by much (if not, most) of the media.
So fuck them.
Winning the CL would be nice (and nothing more than nice) and I'll get pissed and celebrate. Perhaps not with as much unvridled joy as I did after a certain draw with Gillingham but even so...
There would be pleasure in knowing we have pissed the naysayers off too but that's where it ends for me.
As far as I'm concerned, you start out, every year, dreaming of winning your league. Any other trophy- no matter how much it is desired by others, historied or fabled - is a consolation prize.
What the fuck was Gabby doing yesterday ? These poor hacks had sat in the pub and written the headlines, he was unhappy, leaving in the summer, going to Arsenal ...... and then he goes and scores 4. Worse, celebrates everyone. Has he no respect for Holt, the Dipper Echo, the Wattsapp Wankers ?
I hope Pep has a word.

Just the usual bollocks and the false lazy sportswashing narrative. How stupid must you be to think that Sheikh Mansour has bought football clubs across the world, many in impoverished areas, just because he wants to help his country improve its image. Apparently he is not interested in the two billion pounds profit (minimum) he has already made on his investments at MCFC and within Manchester itself.OLIVER HOLT: Manchester City's complicated pursuit of the Champions League is layered with resentments, jealousies, suspicions and ambivalence... but their dream to be one of football's great powers will not be fulfilled until they capture it

I don't give a shit about the media. The more they mention us through gritted teeth then I know we are winning stuff. I only care about City and us the supporters. Fuck the cartel.
