[69FACUPfinal]

I have deliberately stayed away from Sly/BBC and not read one newspaper/ online article this week. It is all a pile of crock by entrapped media fanboys and removes a large layer of stress.

"So, then I said... get this... your treble will not be as good as ours because we did it first, with players all coming from the academy"

What they don't understand is that City fans don't give a flying fuck what
they think. I remember ex brother in law telling me that doing the domestic treble want a real treble. Fucking deluded, althoughhes a good lad for a rag.

Good lad for a rag……not having it

FA Cup final: Man Utd out to protect legacy of 1999 by ending Man City's treble dream

Manchester City and Manchester United will face off in the first all-Manchester FA Cup final; victory for Pep Guardiolas side will move them one game away from matching Uniteds previously unrivalled treble; follow coverage across Sky Sports digital platforms on Saturday

Oh do fuck off. Sky sports neutral as ever.

Really hope we fuck these reds twats today good and proper.

Turned it on at 6am and it was like watching MUTV. Also the papers are like the Daily Rag. Embarrassing really. The media are desperate for us not to win. Hopefully this galvanises the players to ram it down their throats

Why is any blue watching or reading the press/media ? I'm going to enjoy my day turn the match on at 3pm.

Fuck the press/media

Just seen Noel on a BBC clip and I was glad he pointed out; yes, we threw money at it in the early days to get where we wanted to be, but since then, in the last 5 years, others have outspent us. It's not as if we are blowing people away in auctions on the world's best players, we've come from behind to win the Premier league a couple of times or won it on the last day so we're not making the league uncompetitive. These points need getting over to the ordinary viewers, rather than the narrative set about money and unfairness set by journalists that plain dislike us. Nice one.

The whole rags winning the treble with all homegrown players really pisses me off as it’s just inaccurate. That side had Cole (record transfer when they bought him), Stam who cost £10M and Yorke who cost £12M, when the British record was shearer at £15M. I’d love to dig out a stat to prove it but I’m sure they were the biggest spenders in the 90s. Keane was the British record when they bought him. GPC pulled out all the stops to sign Shearer before Newcastle got him.

Press **** to Pep, think it was James Ducker (red fucker). " When Abu Dhabi bought City in 2008" ....Absolute fucking yawn again....

What gets me with their treble “legacy” crap is they won the league by 1 point with only 79 points and officials in their back pockets, fluked the CL win and nothing is mentioned of our own recent treble, ( quad if you add the charity shield) where we had much stronger opposition and won despite officials.
The media keep bringing up their treble but seem to have erased ours from history

A lot of this Rag propaganda crap is whistling in the dark to keep the evil away.

Words mean fuck all when the ball is kicked off. Then it comes down to deeds.

Guaranteed if the rags or dippers had won the only domestic treble in English football history the media would make a much bigger deal of it.
