Media thread 2022/23

[burning blue soul]

Even for the media thread this comes across as just weird, surely you could find something more deserving of being angry at?

Mate, do you not know the Media Thread Motto?
The Pettier the Bettier....

...OK, its not at an "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Isaac Newton level, but it's the motto the thread deserves!

How many ulcers do we reckon Gary Neville has?

I’ll set the O/U at 2.5.

Looks like he's got a perforated one in the middle of his face

Apparently Martin Samuels wrote a decent article in the Times about us yesterday.

I heard that from a mate who's an (upset/philosophical) Arsenal fan so read/share with caution...

Henry Winter apparently has an article in the Times with his team of the season and there are 7 City players and the quote at the side is full of praise for one John Stones! ‘A man for all reasons, for his defensive strengths, his determination, and the ease and authority with which he steps into midfield’ he says about that young man! :-)

SEVEN City players. But who is this John Stones of whom he speaks? :-) ;-)

The elephant in the room being Simon Jordan.
The ugly ****.

He actually wasn't that bad in this instance!

He said we won't get titles stripped or relegated, and that it's been done before with Jack walker and abramovich. He said he doesn't think things were above board pre 2018 but they are now.

It's better than I expected anyway!

Why doesn't he think things were above board, pre 2018?

Is he privy to our goings on? Has he seen our accounts, pre 2018. Or is he just a clever word using, know nothing gobshite, who revels in his own self importance?

Jordan speaks well,quite often hits the nail on the head.....the problem is,it often aint what Blues want to hear......and so he has become public enemy no.1-10,depending on your personal brand of hatred and preference.

He recognised we arent alone in bending the rules,and he also recognised we have been complying with all current legislation for several years now.

"The joy and impact of Bruno Fernandes’s sumptuous playmaking talents cannot be dissipated by his low pain threshold/swift recovery ability. "

Lol.

The charges only go up to 2018, but that's because the PL could only go on what was in Der Spiegel, which therefore limits it to 2018. Der Spiegel highlighted stuff much earlier than that, pre-FFP even, but everything substantive post-2013 (within the six-year limitation period) was dismissed by CAS.

Wonder what BS question Slimey is about to ask Pep.

"City could win a treble this year. Would you say the class of 99 was the best team ever as they did it first?"
