It appears the glut of small-minded, bileful hacks such as these, who remain so inwardly wedded to their own toxic ejaculate, even in the face of overwhelming evidence, has given our language a new word: ronanism.

“Wedded to their own toxic ejaculate”. Oh yes, excellent.

I think Micky de Loony has a point when he talks about sterile industrialisation.
We get a free kick just short of the halfway line and it may well reach Eddie before getting into the opposition half.
We get into shooting positions and it's another fifty passes before we shoot. It can be frustrating on the rare occasions we are chasing the game.
But if you can't appreciate the quality of the passes, the defensive organisation, and the finishing from midfield and attack, then you probably don't understand football. - And so many reporters don't.
Blitz the opposition, loads of high balls into the box, hoof and hope. It might well be slightly more exciting on an attack by attack basis but how come we are top PL scorers almost every season if City's approach is so sterile?
Football isn't always about goals scored though. And we have a defence "that can be got at". So how come our defence is often the tightest? The best teams score loads and concede very few, and we've had the best goal difference many seasons since that glorious Agueroooooo moment.
We scored loads under Pellers and conceded very few under Mancini. Pep has taken us to new levels at both ends of the pitch and we regularly break goalscoring records during a season.
If that's "sterile industrialisation" I'll settle for another ten or twenty years of it.

He needs a new thesaurus, as 'sterile industrialisation' is a strange alternative to what he really meant, 'pure perfection'

You should have listened to 5 live instead.
They interviewed the matchwinner.

The “game of position” requires that passes move the defence around to improve the risk/reward ratio when we go for goal. Pep also likes that extra pass, where necessary, to send another defender scuttling back, reducing the risk of a break. The positional tactics vs Wham were an even more sophisticated version of risk reduction. I have seen at least two instances this season already of ignorant journos talking about our tikka taka tactics. Notice to Press: We do not play tikka taka.
The fact remains, as you say, we are regularly top scorers for the season. Sterile it certainly is not.
Antonio was spot on, Dolooney just full of bile.

We have to remember that a shit rags team is terrible news for Sky, BBC etc, they will be fucking desperate for them to start signing top players so they can challenge for honours again. They will be shitting it that rag fans might start getting fucked off with the club and start to leave in droves, that's why we get bombarded with transfer story after transfer story about them, Ten Haag this Ten Haag that, Ronaldo this Ronaldo that.
They have to keep them sweet no matter how infuriating it is for everyone else

To be honest they seem to sign a lot of “top players” already, then make them shite, certainly based on the money they spend, Maguire, Pogba, Lukaku, Sancho etc. As an example Alfie’s lad needs one tomorrow to equal the PL goals jadon Sancho has scored

As one of our players I hope she gets a similar reception with the others tomorrow.

But City's football is sterile. Why doesn't Eddie hit it long towards the corner flag for Mahrez to chase ? With luck we get the throw in but at worse, they have to take the throw in deep into their own half.
It worked for Wimbledon and now Klopp has perfected the art, proper manager you see. German tactician at work.
It also saves having to have namby pamby midfielders.

Ha, I'd stick a fiver on Erling to do just that as well
