What was that? It seems to have passed me by, I thought Silva was respected by everybody.

The response from the football world to the LFC propaganda and their constant lies has been reassuring - it's not just us - everyone hates the scouse cunts.

That was his agent. I didn’t like it. Players agents being interviewed is uncomfortable for me.

Agree and talking about his value and new contract. Doesn’t sit easy with me this. He has only been here 2 months.

Manchester City have the best manager, striker and team – so why are they so unhappy?

City should enjoy their success and own who they are as a club rather than going on the defensive

Carragher makes some good points here.
Time to stop worrying about the critics. Fuck them all

Haha! Patronising shite!

That’s the kind of stuff a narcissistic partner tells you.

‘It’s your fault’ ‘your just paranoid’

And we should just except it?

Because Jamie carragher says so?

Hahaha what a wanker.

In a bit.

I know this was days ago but this is just talkSport for you. The debate was refuting Martin Samuels figures and comments from his article the other day(triggered them?):


The way it's clipped up, it looks like they are giving balance with White. Yet if you read the article(I don't listen listen to talkShite, seems to pop up on my recommended all the time though): https://talksport.com/football/1222979/manchester-city-liverpool-transfer-spend-simon-jordan-premier-league/

White is actually the one who came up with the £-440m figure basically saying Samuel doesn't know what he's talking about and is being selective(do they know he's a West Ham fan?). They were both at it claiming they'd ran the numbers.

Simon Jordan's "analysis", he later reveals, was done LAST YEAR and it wasn't even a net spend comparison, it was £'s per trophy. He's such a Liverpool/Klopp fanboy and a buffoon with it. How on earth was he ever a successful businessman for any amount of time?

White on the other hand, firstly missed that Martin Samuel said 5 years not 5 seasons. Samuel was also giving an average per year of £30m and comparing clubs based on that. Furthermore, White started his 5 season analysis at 2017-18. Most of the 5 year comparisons that come out around this time of the year(every other season), count the summer window as a new season. They update in Jan if there's any big movement. City aren't expected to buy anyone in Jan. Liverpool don't have any high profile players they want to sell in Jan either. Why would he start at 2017-18, who is it who's really changing the timeframe to suit their narrative? I think that would be you Mr White, if most people consider 2018-19 the starting point for the last 5 seasons.

Edit: To be clear, White's is 5 and half seasons of transfer windows and we know the bulk is spent in the summer, so it's closer to 6 in reality. Which is more misleading for a 5 season comparison? He reckons his method is the one people should be using.

Lastly, his figure was still wrong, he didn't include academy sales and even the figure he gave for the senior team in isolation wasn't correct. I've taken to using the euro version of the transfermrkt site, since finding out how they do currency conversion on the uk site. Maybe that's why I couldn't get the figure he did.

Oh and Jordan gave a full list of everything City fans did wrong on the day. Added some faux balance by saying Liverpool fans did stuff too but didn't reel off any list. You can tell he has it in for City fans by the double standards in his energy(loves a list, pointing and pausing between each one for effect). He's moaned about City fans before claiming no City fan would say the things he gets on twitter to his face. I've seen Liverpool fans dig him out worse because they somehow find a way to suggest even the lickspittles who defend them are biased against them. Lots of fans dig him out but it's City fans he chose in his example. He was likening himself to a HW boxer taking abuse from fans and pulling them up for it. Talking about accountability. Ironic because he lies about the ownership, CAS and City all the time.

We know how pep takes to these agents comments. See Yaya.

This should be nipped in the bud.

Gaslighting, is the word you're looking for. There is an agenda, they are actively trying to spoil City fans' enjoyment, because they can see we are gaining fans the world over and growing commercially.

edit: Has it crossed anyone's mind that they are really targetting the newest wave of fans and making it uncomfortable for them to be City fans?

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

I wish we could just stop looking for negative stories. It’s pretty much constant and all it does it is create a negative vibe with everyone.

Be a fucking short thread if we only posted the neutral or positive ones matey........ ;-)

Exactly this and they can fuck right off!
