39 likes to a post that didn’t reference Coutinho not actually being offside.

Does truth even matter anymore?

Many of those wouldn't recognise offside it ran them over.

It’s more about a post truth society where being right or wrong doesn’t matter anymore, as long as you can shout conspiracy and fake news.

Rag central accurate as usual in their match report
Haaland's ninth goal in five games set City on their way in Spain, with the Norwegian forward tapping in from Kevin de Bruyne's superb driven cross.
Then ends with
The forward maintained his incredible start to his City career as he knocked in goals 11 and 12 from his eight appearances for the club.
Thought it was 12 in 7 ? And the 9 in 5 doesn't make sense and why are they are so obsessed with how many touches he has ?
Both his finishes were from no more than eight yards out, again underlining his capacity to operate with clinical efficiency from a limited number of touches (19),

Just be grateful they didn't include the Barcelona game.

Talk Sport, McCoist, Sherwood, Mills and Aglongbahor full of praise for City and Haaland this morning.

I am amused every Saturday when the BBC list the Scottish PL as No2 in the pecking order in their Scores and Fixtures List, ahead of the Championship. I can't see either Celtic or Rangers winning the Championship if they were ever allowed to compete in England.

Yeah, for an area with a population of half that of London they get a disproportionate amount of billing. They even report the scores for Celtic B ffs.
More fans attend games in London than in Scotland but more Scottish clubs are reported.

Good news is the City website is allowing me again to use my iPad to fullscreen mode again whilst rotating it. Wonder if a few on here contacted them?

And it is not a space I wish to occupy.

Just enjoying the bitterness of the heavily skewed thumbs up/down ratios on the bbc football page. Check the numbers on all the positive City and Haaland posts this morning.

Drink it in, blues.

Obviously want to to win everything,but winning C/L will just move the conversation on to," how many times," so to me all this "pressure" to win it is just media ,dipper and D/S hype .
I just love watching the best football I have ever seen.

"...only won it with Messi Haaland."

Ian Darke was asked (just after our takeover), “what would you like to see happen this season?” His answer should have been a positive comment about his team Portsmouth but he said “Man City to be relegated”

Ian Darke is an absolute shithouse when it comes to us. BT have changed their tune sharpish. Never forget just how blatantly they were anti City in the past. It was off the scale.
