Any newspaper which didn't use the following headline needs to have a word with themselves

"City's treble hopes get Real"

Instead we get "Istan Promise". Also why isn't a British broadcaster paying Kate Abdo whatever she wants to be on British TV. She is fantastic despite being a united fan

Wolves fan here listening to that arrogant Dipper fan not wanting you boys dominating English football- like his lot did? I was screaming at the radio when he was bleating on! Sounded Mancunian? Certainly not Scouse

Anyway congratulations on a truly magnificent performance tonight, one of the best I've seen and loved every minute. Go on and win the treble now and put these whingeing red twats back in their boxes!

Manchester City’s inexorable hard power crushes Real Madrid | Jonathan Liew

Pep Guardiola’s side have the perfection of a finely executed military campaign, the perfection of wealth and strength

Stellar stuff from Mr Liew. The nerve of City wanting more than one striker and more than one defensive midfielder on their books, like every other club……

Did he happen to mention that the Rags treble side had 4 international experienced strikers?

It's already started from the Scouse vermin.

Watch the bitterness, attacks and excuses increase as City get closer and closer to doing the treble, something Spitty's beloved Liverpool have never done.

I’m guessing he sees Leicester’s title win as worthless? They broke FFP..

I’m sure if we’re found guilty of 3rd party payments to Mancini 15 years ago or to pressure the odd academy player to sign for us will certainly remove all the shine of a treble..

Yeah, united fans today crying and saying were like a kid buying all the best packs on fifa

No club has room to talk when they're pissing 80 million plus on players like Maguire and Sancho. Let's not forget these pricks were spending nearly £30m on Veron over 20 years ago, that was obscene money back in the day, as was the similar fee they paid for Ferdinand. Even back in the 90s they used money to take players like Andy Cole of one of their nearest competitors halfway through a season.

We haven't bought success any more than they did for a long period of time. And the only difference between the clubs in the past ten years in terms of transfers is we have bought well and they have pissed money up the wall on mediocre players.

Plus we are playing and dominating in a era when the likes of Chelsea can spend a lot of money, Liverpool can drop 80 million on a striker, the rags can spend that amount on multiple players, whereas they dominated an era where pretty much nobody could match them. What other Premier league clubs were spending £30m on central defenders nearly 25 years ago?

But people are just bitter and have short or selective memories

Adjusted for inflation (current GBP PP), United spent £29 million to bring in Yorke in 1998, £59 million on Verón in 2001, £38 million for Ferdinand in 2002, £14.5 million for Forlán in 2002, £24 million for Ronaldo in 2003 (which, to be fair, ended up being decent business), £13.5 million for Heinze in 2004, £24 million for Saha in 2004, £15 million for Vidic in 2005, £30 million for Van Nistelrooy in 2006, £30 million on Nani and £44 million on Anderson in 2007, and £55 million on Tevez in 2008.

FFS, they paid £12 million in today’s money to bring in Bebe — £2 million less than we spent on World Cup winner Alvarez!

They’ve been “distorting the transfer market” for decades before ADUG bought City.

That’s obviously not looking at Liverpool, Chelsea, or Arsenal. And that was when—as you said—really only those four clubs could spend big. Now all PL clubs have huge budgets in comparison due to broadcasting and sponsorship money.

We’re actually dominating at a time when we have relatively speaking, less proportional financial power to the rest of the league.

Even so, “spending big” only became a problem when one of the non-cash cow clubs started doing it to catch up to the establishment.

But is that general inflation or football inflation? Football has increased way faster because of the rocketing TV deals.
