[Gone for a Burton]

NO WORDs.
No T word
No C word
No L word.....

In fact No Words.

No interviews or quotes from players.

One word answers from Pep in the pressers.

Our silence and lack of information will drive them crazy

"Silence is golden,golden
but my eyes still see"

 

[The perfect fumble]

His hairline looks like it's reaching its final expression to the ****

Receding faster than Arsenal's title challenge.

 

[pauls]

What next? Aggressive walking? Oh hang on.

Pep managed to ridicule this prick at a press conference and has never let it go, he now criticises at every opportunity. Like all these balloons they are so immature, they love their poisonous articles but have a go back they just cannot take it.

 

[Bozo]

Have you seen the state of this laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

Jesus wept that's the funniest shit I've ever read hahahahahahahahaha back in your bin, scouser.

Fucking hell what's up with talksport. Also as predicted the usual tribal comments.

Durham has never followed the anti City narrative driven by his media compatriots. Since moving from the "Drive" 4-7pm spot on Talksport it has allowed him the freedom to speak as he sees it rather than having to follow the agenda driven script on that show.

Although I disagree with some of his pushy, activist views on us, and I am almost sure they are coming from the above like this last article, I have to admit I like to read Ronay. It might be because I am a snowflaky Guardian reader, or I like his writing style. This is very good, I cannot stop chuckling

Does this sound enough? By the end that 4-1 defeat certainly felt like something more basic. To choke is to have agency, to have a decisive say in what happens to you. Mikel Arteta’s team went to the Etihad as league leaders and spent 90 minutes being marched around like a team of straw-stuffed tailor’s dummies. Even the stumbles of the past few weeks have felt like something induced by the pressure at their back, a human-scale football entity being pursued by a team so good they appear to be operating to a different set of laws, for whom victory is simply a matter of pressing go and following the playbook.

Sorry but that is a lame excuse you are offering for his numerous anti Arab/anti City diatribes.

The comments below the article are interesting - vast majority having a go at him for regurgitating the same nonsense yet again, and trying to claim that City are somehow different to all the other teams who have had dominant phases. Includes a lot of other clubs' fans. Nice contrast to The Athletic's articles which are full of the usual nonsense. Cancelled sub today.

Blimey, there is a wailing and nashing of teeth out there in media land today.

I hear we're very cold and mechanical. And that it makes journos uneasy how cold and mechanical we are. Very cold and mechanical.

It's dawned on them that Arsenal are not going to win the league.

Apparently now he’s realised that we actually spend wisely and are well managed, we’re better than we should be because only a state backed enterprise can be this competent (even though Abu Dhabi isn’t a nation state but let’s pretend it is). Does he honestly think that state backing equals competence? Imagine our government trying to run a football cub! He’s just whinging because we had the temerity to employ the best manager in the world and a highly competent senior executive team.

 

[Blue Pete]

Haven't you heard; net spend only counts if it's 'organic' like the everlasting pot of money that was the Courtiho money?

They'll be fucked when that runs out

Someone should ask Barney Ronay (and his pals) what he means by "soft-power" project and "sportswashing" and what evidence does he have to back up his claims apart from an apparent racist belief "that all Arabs are the same" and invest their wealth not to make profit but purely for political reasons.
He and his kind are essentially just conspiracy-theory nutters. They choose to believe (with no evidence) that City are owned by a country and ignore that the owner of our club Sheikh Mansour has invested (along with US firm Silverlake) hundreds of millions of pounds in the Manchester area, in a football club, a music arena, thousands of homes, businesses, education, schools etc etc. And apparently the reason he has done this is to provide "soft power" for his country...not to make huge profits.

I often wonder what East Manchester would look like without Sheikh M providing capital for Manchester Council.

A shithole.

A shithole.

Just like L4 scouseland post code , that club has invested sweet F.A. in their local community in comparsion ,in fact they made local people move from their houses with their compulsory purchases of properties to extend their stadium so the 10% of supporters with a "L" post code can attend the with the rest of the Scandanavian / Irish / Welsh cult
