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.

Are they the scenes where the Villa Keeper was violently assaulted…… a narrative to be used another day but not in “soulless” articles.

Jonathan Wison in The Guardian has just written a piece about even if we do the treble it wont be as good as the rags.

That must be at least 5 articles the media have wrote about this in the last week

Manchester City are magnificent but struggle to match thrills of United’s treble | Jonathan Wilson

A brilliant team are demolishing even closest rivals and can make history. But glory lies in drama as well as excellence

The same idiot who wrote an article about City fans getting bored with silverware & wrote several books on the rags

I think he’s an Everton fan but seems as you say to fawn over the Rags.

He claims to be a Sunderland fan. Met him a few times. Really nice guy and, unlike most of his peers, does understand football and tactics.

But it must be written into Guardian writers' contracts that they have to produce one anti-City article a week.

They are shitting themselves & in a way they could be piling the pressure on the Rags to stop us. They’ve gone early with Rags will stop us, won’t mean as much, soulless, drama, blah fucking blah.

I also wondered about all the compliments about our owners & what they have done whilst a bidding process for new owners is going on.

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.

They'll be a fair few on here moaning that it wasn't the quad and harping on about the fuck up at Southampton.

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.

Look at this pile of shit reply!

The real irony is that if you accept the premise of the post - that City should win the treble, that it would be 'outrageous' if we didn't - you're actually acknowledging and admitting that this City team is vastly superior to any other team in Europe, (even if we don't win it this season); ergo, this team has to be placed alongside other great European sides of the past.

If you accept the premise that a team that's spent a lot of money should win most of the trophies it goes in for, then there's fuck-all excuse for the rags' miserable trophy haul, despite spending at least as much as us.

Absolutely. Money is money, regardless who's spent it.

If my roof is leaking, and I pay a grand to some skilled and experienced people to fix it, and your roof is leaking, and you pay a grand to some fucking cowboys to fix it, I'll be dry and you'll be wet, but we've both spent a thousand pounds.

The reverse is that the Rags were not that good & stuffy as fuck.

Barney Ronay making the same point today. It’s not a sports club, any more than a police force is a sport’s club; it’s a state-run machine. It has all the backup of a state, with the Pep ecosystem grafted on. It’s fake. I never want to see United zombified in this way. Never. PR for dictators; please use someone else’s club as host organism. It’s impossible to despise City. It’s like despising a uniform.
