Man City and Haaland have reduced Our League to record-smashing Numberwang. Boring? We love it

Manchester City and Haaland are breaking Our League. We should be appalled, but we're absolutely loving every absurd minute of it.

This is mostly quite nice, I don’t have a problem with them picking up on Alfie’s comments either really, he did say them.

"Indeed, the best Arsenal side for a decade finishing 10 points clear of everyone else but 15 adrift of City is itself a deliciously watchable prospect and something their very online fanbase would take with good grace and in no way generate endless memes about conspiracies and proper grand old clubs who don’t rely on oil money thank you very much, please don’t look at the name of our stadium."

That bit made me chuckle.

My favourite trope right now is how City are bad for football but no one is saying it. It has been the trending narrative since the CAS verdict so if no one is saying it how come everyone seems to be saying it?

Since we have had a negative net spend this year it looks like the new trend will be to look at the wider infrastructure spending and how unfair that is. How can United compete with City when we've built a training ground and a college? No wonder we battered them when we have an entire bridge.

Regardless of wider spending on academies, stadiums etc it is still 11 men vs another 11 men and if it is so unfair for United how come teams like Palace can be so much more competitive when they play City?

Plus isn't this investment on infrastructure what every one is desperate to say the Glazer's are getting wrong at United? Plus plus if you add up all the 2 billion owner investment plus the cost of purchasing the club in the first place then City are currently worth more than Mansour has spent.

Isn't this kind of growth backed by massive success on the pitch organic enough? I yearn for the old days when City were told to be more like Randy Lerner era Aston Villa and do things properly.

Of course City are bad for football. It's terrible; bloody awful in fact.
It's so bad I protested by not cheering three of the goals at the Etihad on Sunday.

I just can't listen to his yonner drawl. He is a two faced hypocrite. He makes me want to put my foot through the screen every time I see his weasel face on it. So, for me, it's better that I do ignore him.

That's fine.

Though the match analysis, concentrating on the fact that defenders are scared stiff of Haaland was good.

So from the dippers and nited fans forums and alot of the media football is once again boring and god love them many are losing interest in football. Must be me but i love this boring football and hope football remains boring for a long long time.

Well it's not exclusively their game and the rest of us don't give 2 flying fucks about them. Right now City, Arsenal, Brighton, Newcastle and fans of other clubs are enjoying what they see on the pitch and how their teams are progressing.

Showing potential managerial talent….

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold can be one of the world's best ever right-backs if he works on his defending, says Gary Neville.

If he learns to defend more like. Cancelo will still be better though.

If you don't know what your enemies are up to, then you can't counter it.

They don't need countering. They're nobodies.

Their articles seem to be mainly shared by City fans. They need ignoring.

Jaap Stam had it spot on when he referred to the two neville’s as “a pair of busy cunts”.

One of the few rags I ever respected.

State of this

All they want is clicks and views. By sharing this you've given them what they want.

Can City fans stop falling for it!

Rwanda was recently voted the world's ninth-safest country and Africa's safest country by the World Economic Forum. It's got one of the lowest crime rates of any African city – in Kigali, locals and tourists can happily stroll along the park-lined boulevards long after the sun has sunk beneath the distant hills.

It’s amazing how sponsoring the right clubs gives you these results. If they sponsored City they’d be voted number 1 genocidal human rights abusing sports washing murdering twats n the world.
