Sky Sports News just apologised for Pep using the word ‘bullshit’ in his press conference. It was just in normal conversation, it wasn’t an outburst.
The world has gone mad…

If we do win the treble we will do it with more points, more goals scored, less conceded, having put six past them and four past Liverpool. We will have beaten Arsenal to the title, Bayern, Real Madrid, and probably AC Milan. We will have won the first ever all-Manchester FA Cup Final. Our leading player will have scored more than 50 goals. Apparently this will not compare with United's huge league tally of 79 points. Whatever!

Their 79 points in 1999 wouldn't have won the title in any season since.

It’s not organic when it’s all done by extending business loans. Their debt is going up not down, how is living way beyond their means on the never, never a stable way to run a football club? No wonder they stash their accounts away in the Cayman Islands, I bet there’s some right skeletons jangling away.

Spot-on. Borrowing and not paying back is not a sustainable business model. It is the opposite of organic growth.
 
"Organic" is quite the statement when the squad assembled was in excess of £40 million including Dwight Yorke from Villa for £12.6 million and record fee for a defender at the time, Jaap Stam at £10.6 million.

Even Schmeichel was bought for £500k in the early 90's, Dennis Irwin was around £600k etc. That squad based on the fees going around today would suggest the Rags were ahead of their time with spending having hoovered up income from the Sky TV rebranding, and being in the right place at the right time. Murdoch supports them I'm sure?

Not to worry, we can pitch in Phil, Rico and give Cole a run in off the bench so that we appear a little more "organic"
 
To be perfectly fair the media coverage has been a lot better of late, there is far less venom spouted than years past

Part of the reason is the kiss and make up in the gulf region, I am convinced that much of the pure hate that was written about City was paid for content by enemies of the UAE.

Strangely lots of fans of other clubs claim there is a media agenda against them (Liverpool fans believe it or not do) the only ones who don't are United fans, they have had their client journalists installed for years
