Apparently last night’s “revival” of the Arsenal/Rag rivalry is just what the Premier League needs?

& just like the manufactured rivalry with the Dippers it’s us they are battling with for the title.

The snide bloke talks like he is a veteran manager and an all time great. So dislikeable

Sam Lee is a twat!

Things must be improving at City. Despite another Haaland hat trick, the Daily Fail are completely ignoring us again.

1 online football tabloid this morning.

20 Arsenal v United post match articles.
1 City v Wolves post match article.

The main headline being.

English football NEEDS this rivalry. It’s good to have them back.

There’s absolutely no chance of breaking the pro United, Arsenal and Liverpool football media cartel in this country, regardless of what other teams do, not just City. It’s a f*cking disgrace!

Probably just lack of awareness but I had to laugh at Bela Shah on SSN this morning. Apparently Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is formerly from Chelsea FC (now at Dortmund). Given he was at Reading & Chelsea between 7 and 9 years old before settling on Reading when he was just 9 years old and then spent the next five seasons there, before going to City for two seasons and then jumping ship to Dortmund is hardly coming from Chelsea's academy.

I know she's a Chelsea fan but come on!!!

More stories about dodgy Asian facing gambling firms sponsoring PL clubs in tomorrow's papers. Nick Harris doing the Mail but Josimar and Phillipe Auclair doing theirs as well which will get picked up by the other English papers.

You have to ask why are we getting involved in this kind of stuff given the extra scrutiny we're under, an already poor public opinion of our sponsorships and, being English champions in 4 of the last 5 seasons and a guaranteed CL contender...we must have other options with legitimate betting sponsors.

All good points well made, imho.

Pep has always said that if the players stopped listening to him he would leave

He has said it from day one. He has also said that if players don’t want to play for City they can leave anytime they want. He’s not run his course yet.

Misreading/misrepresenting of City’s fanbase #4367

BM may not be a complete representative of City’s fanbase, but it’s a better representative than most media opinions.
There’s Polls, discussions, fights etc… and the vast majority want the PL, as it’s THE title. CL would be nice, but PL every time.

He's just judging us by his low standards....
