I live in Jumeirah, close to the Dubai/Abu Dhabi border.

As the UK accelerates towards third world status, the UAE speeds in the opposite direction.

Enlightened, benevolent leadership, aided by world class advisors.

Jumeirah. Like living in the Trafford Centre.

3rd World? Fck off.

Delaney doesn't hate City. At all.

He simply loves his career and the financial rewards it's currently bringing him.

People call it an 'agenda'. Perhaps it is, but it's an agenda driven by being rewarded for content that drives engagement.

He knows the stuff he writes gets a huge amount of traffic. This leads to more and more opportunities to appear across the rapidly expanding podcast universe, which expands his exposure even further.

He's a smart lad. He says and writes exactly what his audience craves.

I worked with him recently, on a (I'll keep it unnamed for the moment) U.S. network's streaming platform that produces a lot of additional documentary content to supplement their live sport coverage.

The focus of one specific piece was Vincent Kompany. Delaney was one of a number of journalists approached to give his thoughts on Vinny's career. He was like a giddy kid. Couldn't wait to get involved and be effusive in his praise of VK and City during his time with us.

Why? Because he got a very decent paycheck and the opportunity to appear on a well-viewed platform. He says what pays.

It's not rocket science. Create engagement = get rewarded. I know for a fact he reads this forum. He'll be dining out on the outrage.

Harris though, seems fucking unhinged. Especially as, in comparison to Delaney, he has very little exposure, so can't be making a decent living from his nonsense.

I note the rest of the press are complaining about City players disrespecting England by being on the lash before the MALTA game.
Seriously?

Southgate the loser gave them what they wanted to have that article he was asked 3 times from 3 different no mark “journalist” about Grealish and his drinking! He could of shut it down straight away with “they just won a treble” am fine with him and the city players celebrating! But no he had to put a critique in there with his response!

Well if that's the case and he is just posting shite to get rewarded, and he doesn't hate City then he's an even bigger idiot for being so false. What kind of person does that, a total fraud. Sorry but I find that hard to believe. He needs a wake up call in his life. Money isn't as important in life as telling the truth.

My kids have had shite off others because of idiots like him peddaling their agenda. They don't realise the impact their shite has on people. It stirs hate, whatever happend to #bekind?

Who are the paymasters?

Who are the paymasters?

Specifically? He's raking it in in from a number of sources.

Mate, respectfully, that's the nature of the job nowadays.

This sounds harsh, and in an ideal world integrity and honesty would prevail over money and career, but it doesn't work like that.

Delaney doesn't give a single shiny fuck about your kids. He cares about his bank balance.

It really is amazing the part that social media plays in peoples perception of the club.

I had the following arguments (on whatsapp) with friends last weekend, all of their opinions originated from social media.

Are there any City fans there one asked during the first half.
Another said that all Citys fans would be from Saudia Arabia (!)
Needless to say i turned the phone off, not listening to that shite during a big game.

Then the next morning i woke up to mocking of that video that was doing the rounds on social media of muted celebrations in a neutral area of the stadium, with them saying these were the heights of our celebrations.
This descended into empty seats, can't sell out talk, the usual shit.

Of course i pointed out that Saudi Arabia are nothing at all to do with City, what a daft fucking point.
Two friends then got rattled (Celtic and Arsenal fans) when i pointed out that bar the home game against Rangers and European nights, Celtic park usually has thousands of empty seats every week.
The emirates has had thousands of empty seats on several games over the years.
As i said, nothing is said when other clubs have empty seats. Its a social media phenomenon which stupid people have bought into.

And they're still going - a photo yesterday of Grealish's price tag compared to all the Inter players.
Sure why point out Grealish when there have been a lot worse signings in the past few seasons - Pogba, Lukaku twice, Enzo Fernandez, Mudryk etc etc

If Real Madrid beat Inter in next year's final for example, does anyone think there'll be anyone mentioning Bellingham's price tag for example?
Didn't see anyone pointing to Bales price when they were beating Atletico in finals

Send them a tag of the TV and Prize money revenues generated by us compared to Inter, that may calm them down. Btw, it’s about €730m for us compared to Inter’s €400m.

Well he deserves all the shite he gets then. Let's hope for his sake we don't bump into each other one day outside the Etihad as I might not be as generous as those blues he met in Istanbul. I'm fed up with money driven hate filled clowns like him making others lives worse.

Now Delaney is denying he was abused , said they all went quiet when near him, so either Delaney or Harris is lying, as they are in the gutter press I'll say both
