Interesting article. Totally jaundiced. I wonder what article if any he'd have written if Sheikh Mansour had invested in Aston Villa? That's academic. If he has a beef with big business and global capitalism he should focus on that. Having a go at City with a nostalgic eye is utterly pointless and banal. Global capitalism is here to stay until the next financial crisis at least. He just wants to rain on our parade. What a villain?!

The dismal story of modern football can be summed up in two words: Manchester City | Phil Mongredien

Champions League glory is within the grasp of this team of well-heeled superstars. But I remember when football was an actual competition, says Guardian journalist Phil Mongredien

He sounds like “jumpers for goalposts“ - he spends 3 paragraphs reminiscing about the old days like they only applied to Villa. What a bitter jealous twat
 
Unfortunately City’s owner isn’t right if you know what I mean,completely different reporting if he’s a yank or European,the best way is to keep winning trophies as it eats them up the absolute joy from us tomorrow if we should win the European cup and contrast that with the absolute despair and wailing from the English media ( not all but large sections of it)will be a joy to behold as well,it could honestly be a double celebration tomorrow night please please make it so City ..
 
No matter what the result is tomorrow, the coverage from the British media will be mostly negative towards City so my advice is don't waste your time and energy reading or listening to it.

Anyone who isn't able to avoid it, just remember that the way our club is reported on in this country does not reflect how the rest of the footballing world sees us.

I have been getting the impression recently that a lot of this hate for City is going over people's heads. People are seeing the football we are playing and how good it is. Lots of people I know, yes even rag supporters are saying that we are playing great football. The MSM are desperately trying their best but even they are seeing what is happening and jumping on board. Dan Roan and his ilk are going to be left behind and treated like Mary Whitehouse and Lord Longford before to long.

Your first sentence is spot on in my experience “in real life”.
Even got liverpool fans at work genuinely say they hope we win it (to stop united going on about the treble), and the odd united fan begrudgingly wishing us on.
They’ve completely misjudged the mood haven’t they?
 
Anyone seen the managers press preview yet? Haven’t seen Pep look so intense and stressed as this before. He did seem to relax a little as the interview progressed, however he really did appear quite stressed out to me. On a more positive note, Kev, and Ruben totally relaxed and chilled
