Silly woman on SSN news just said Brighton in eighth with two games in hand on all teams above them with the exception of scum. Only problem is they have two games in hand on only three teams Villa, Arsenal and Spurs, one game in hand on two teams, dippers and Newcastle and played the same number as scum and us. How can you get something as simple as games in hand wrong. Claims they have two games in hand on six clubs when its three and has to shoehorn scum in and ignore the fact they have played same numbe4 as us as well. Clear and obvious

Just read that and was going to post it. More blah blah wailing and gnashing of teeth from another cry baby ****

I am from Ireland and nobody takes notice of this guy or what he says, most criticism of City over here is by individuals who don’t like football anyway and whose opinion means nothing to football fans here.

Was wondering where to post this, but I’ve noticed a big shift in opinions over here.
Earlier in the season I was getting the usual shit/banter from work colleagues. There is a mixture of Liverpool, United, one Arsenal and one Everton even and a few that don’t even follow football but still had their totally uninformed media lead opinion.
After the Arsenal game I walked into a much different environment. It had been coming but this was the final penny dropping.
My mate, a long time Liverpool fan reckoned that Pep now has what he had at Barca (bar Messi). He thinks this is the finest football he has seen in the PL and that we are streets ahead of anything in the league for quite a while to come.
United fans saying to me, I hope that’s not what turns up against them at Wembley.
Arsenal fan saying it was men against boys and shows them where and what they need to aim for.

There was what seemed a genuine if perhaps grudging respect for what City and Pep in particular, has done this year.
And we’ve won fuck all yet!

Danilo was very solid and left for more football. We'd arguably have been better off if he has stayed, given what's happened with Len

And we sold him on for a profit. Not the best example to use for an expensive mistake requiring sovereign wealth fund backing!!

Most of the time I don’t get to het up about this stuff, whether it’s praising or shitting on City. But this was an absolute steaming pile of shite, the worst bollocks I’ve read all year (and I’ve just read Destination Void by Frank Herbert). It’s just so fucking obvious they might as well have used a picture of Wilson wearing a rag and stroking his chin.

It’s worth going to the comments because he’s getting called out, even by non blues.

If I win Euromillions, and it isn't as much as some fucker 20-odd years ago, will I give a fuck? Nah! In fact, I won't give a shit what anyone says I'll be too busy counting the cash.

Similar thing if we win the Treble. I won't give a toss what some whining Scouser or Rag thinks about it.

What's most bothersome is the fact that all the way back in 2022 (can you remember that far back?) we won on the last day, after going 2-0 down with a win that led, to us at least, asking if that was up there with 93:20. It doesn't get more exciting than that. We all lost our collective shit.


Of course, scenes like this (or based on that article the event itself) are forgotten about when either the media or other fans use the "machine-like" or "dispassionate" tags (this years attempt at belittling our club). Cunts. The lot of em.

The turnaround has been pretty dramatic since he wrote this! They don't find it exciting for the same reason I don't find watching United winning exciting and love watching them lose.

Prompted me to read the comments - you're right, there's some great pushback :)

I liked this:

Wait, did I miss a memo? After all these years of berating City for never winning the Champions League we now get to berate them for winning it? Even though they still have to beat Real Madrid to get to the final for the second time ever. And berate them for also winning the treble, even though they have not been top of the league all season and have still to win anything this season? Bizarre
