Apparently Pep is taking a real risk staying loyal to Ortega, not one of them actually pointed out he’s been a top keeper for us in his own right.

The Guardian being the Guardian.....

in the sky-blue corner we have potential Cup winners with 115 charges of financial and administrative misconduct hanging over them. Perhaps this is football’s idea of dramatic irony.

Manchester City, of course, deny breaking the rules. City’s supporters, who have the chance to boo not one governing body but two in the next couple of weeks, make the point that these rules shouldn’t exist in the first place and therefore deserve to be broken.

It is at least an impressive on-brand, dictator-level approach to reform. Not to mention one that has to date worked out pretty well. Frankly, City could bring back hacking and unilaterally re-abolish the crossbar. If your lawyers are expensive enough it all tends to work out in the end.

I wonder when the last time the Guardian wrote an article about City that didn't allude to ownership or charges of some sort was?

Desperate click-bait cunts.

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

The rags also played two fewer CL games than City as there was no round of 16 back then. Teams that qualified from the group stage went straight into the last eight. The CL has twice as many teams in it now in the group stage.

They also got twated by juventus in semi and fluked it as much as final compared to our semi it’s leagues apart.

If he had more brain cells he might have realised that City Football Group has also invested in countries like China, Uruguay, Brazil, and even Mumbai. This wouldn't make any sense if our only motive was to deflect attention away from human rights abuses. The entire concept of "sportswashing" is false. It was invented by PR firms working for Human Rights charities as a way of attracting attention to their cause.

Mate great point, as you say as a group we not only buy other clubs, but invest in them as well, helping the local economy.

Love the name, always thought he looked like my dad

Them and their ilk of ‘little britain..ers’ epitomises everything that’s wrong with the UK. Snide, racist, jingoistic bunch of absolute cunts.

City, tearing cockneys apart again.
