Any talk of a treble needs to be put on ice until 2 trophies are lifted and City have the opportunity to play in the champions league final. I’d be happy if we ended up with one of the trophies, two would be amazing, three would be historic.

If City did land all three, we would be looking at the greatest group of players arhat played the game and also the greatest manager in English football. Pep would have put together a team that has won the league by 100 points, lifted a domestic treble, won the premier league 3 times in a row if it happens and then the actual treble on top of that.

The compare and contrast to how they report on their beloved rags is evident. Ten Hag wins the league cup and has got them into the top four a squad that has cost United astronomical amounts of cash, they are hailing him as the new Taggert. The piss boiling if this happens will be delicious.

It’s not organic when it’s all done by extending business loans. Their debt is going up not down, how is living way beyond their means on the never, never a stable way to run a football club? No wonder they stash their accounts away in the Cayman Islands, I bet there’s some right skeletons jangling away.

If we do win the treble we will do it with more points, more goals scored, less conceded, having put six past them and four past Liverpool. We will have beaten Arsenal to the title, Bayern, Real Madrid, and probably AC Milan. We will have won the first ever all-Manchester FA Cup Final. Our leading player will have scored more than 50 goals. Apparently this will not compare with United's huge league tally of 79 points. Whatever!

Without looking it up I'm pretty sure they won all of 4 games on route to the champs league final.

I'd love for somebody to show me a club that has grown "organically"
The Rags have had money pumped into them, Arsenal had Henry Norris, Liverpool bought their way out of division two with gifted money... etc. etc. etc.
All the way back to the formation of the league... with the scandal of a club like Blackburn - quite simply, football wasn't awash with money like today... well funded clubs did so out of the pockets of the board/benefactors...
There's a telling line in The Damned United, where Clough wants to buy a player and Chairman Sam Longson (Jim Broadbent) says "Where am I supposed to find that kind of money" (something like that)... I know it's only a movie, but it highlights that the money came out of pockets rather than club accounts.
ALL successful clubs have had outside investment.

Yes, but you seemingly deal in facts whereas Ian relies on emotion and bias so he must be right

According to Wiki, in a qualifying round they beat the mighty LKS Lodz 2-0 in first leg and drew 0-0 in the second leg. In the group stages they drew at home to Bayern 1-1, Barca 3-3 and beat Brondby 5-0. Away they drew with Bayern 2-2, Barca 3-3 and they beat Brondby 6-2. In the quarter finals they beat Inter 2-0 then drew 1-1, drew with Juve 1-1 and beat them 3-2 and then they fluked the final. So in total, six wins and seven draws as opposed to Bayern who won seven, drew four but lost two. They were scummy twats even then.

It's not what the treble would mean to me and you, it's all about what it means to the journalists and apparently it wouldn't be very good...

The rags bought (and in doing so broke British transfer records for) Veron and Ferdinand in 2001 and 2002 for £28m and £29m respectively when the average transfer cost was less than £5m.

Prior to 99 they also broke british transfer records when buying Law, Cole and Robson. They have also consistently been around the top spenders in English football in modern times. If that wasn't enough they were then one of the ring leaders in creating the Premiership (created to financially throttle the smaller clubs and channel more income to themselves).

So this media driven propaganda is akin to The Ministry of Truth in 1984.

Most readers simple don't have the intelligence to use Google and find ACTUAL facts for themselves, choosing rather to deepthroat the huge dick of lies the old guard thrusts at them.
 
Not 100% but I have it in the back of my mind that the ‘99 European Cup Final was the first in history where neither finalist were actually even reigning champions of their own domestic league.

And 9 of their finishing team were bought players, organic my arse.
The red-tinted everything about views of that final makes me sick, they were absolutely schooled by Bayern who had also hit the woodwork at least twice, and rags scrambled a couple of stuffy bagatelle goals in a desperate gung-ho last hurrah at the death.
As for the league, they won it with 79 points, drawing a third of their games, scoring 80 goals - hardly the stuff of legend!, I think this City team would destroy them. Yes, football has moved on, largely because of City!

Completely correct. It would be churlish to say they didn't deserve to win the league in '99 as the course of 38/42 games always shows the best teams to be the winners......... but their Fa Cup and Champions league wins were the stuffiest wins ever. FA cup due to one of the best players in the world,Bergkamp missing a penalty in the last minute of the semi final, and the CL final was even worse. Bayern did indeed hit the woodwork twice and missed countless other chances. Scum's equaliser was just ridiculous - Bayern defender shinned his clearance straight to Giggs, who then shinned his shot that fell to Sheringham who shinned it into the bottom corner - three complete mishits. Without doubt one of the wankiest goals I've ever witnessed in 50 years of watching football. For a good few years they really were protected by the Prince of Darkness. Fuckin awful win

He fails to mention its a cup game in which we rotated and even then that picture features starting players that were subbed off. Plus, poor old Liverpool only had a couple of hundred million worth of subs on their bench at the weekend.
