I disagree. Don’t expect any pundits to be biased, but just want them to give honest opinions. I have heard Richards giving his opinion and then get bullied into changing his views by Carragher and Shearer on a number of occasions. Nobody is saying that they weren’t good servants for City but perhaps they are not good enough to be pundits. Nedum is very good in that he can give an opinion and argue his case rather than just submitting to pressure from others.

Yep regarding Richards watching Carragher on YouTube which have Henry on as well as Richards on a American sport show! Carragher was going on about Kdb is on the best midfielders in the world but to be talked about one the best he needs win the champs league! Then mentioned Gerrard talked about the 3-0 comeback! Now yes all great Richards sat there Nodding instead of questioning Carragher about how can he the best when he has won Zero titles in the best league in the world? This what happens our ex players a nodding dogs mainly!

SSN this morning. We’ve had an inquest as to whether City’s goal should have stood, because the ball “appeared to go out of play” (it didn’t ‘appear’ to have done anything of the sort of course, because the only available camera angle was utterly inconclusive), an examination of Erling Haaland’s “quiet night” and 21 touches of the ball, and then a snippet about Alfie Haaland’s “embarrassing” altercation with Madrid fans inside the ground. Twunts

Madrid actually had repossession of the ball after the ghost ball out of play, how many phases do they want to go back?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Literally packed with tourists. On the other hand Seville was a cauldron of noise.

The rag's shat themselves.

As many as it takes to see our goals ruled out and by any means available..

When the rules don’t fit the narrative. they just ignore them.

For me i love the joke that Wio and ratboy make themselves look like now, it shows their utter pain and anguish City are causing them. Thats all they have now little old City living rent free in their heads, love it.

They were put on this pedestal when their team was lording it over everyone, now they’re in the stocks having shit thrown at them while they give de Ga another contract and their star striker is Wegdonkey..it’s fucking heaven

Take it all the way back to the RM player taking 3 throw-ins, nearly kicks himself up the arse! Without being penalised…

Nice feature on City 1945-70 in the latest Backpass magazine

Blimey, didn't know we were going then. Where we any good?

I wasn't there last night but have been there previously and found it much quieter than most other Spanish stadiums. I also know that Atleti fans mock Real fans for their lack of atmosphere. The Camp Nou is another myth in terms of atmosphere. Literally packed with tourists. On the other hand Seville was a cauldron of noise.

Probably explains why their players kept waving their arms at the crowd every time they won a throw.

I couldn't believe he got away with it every time.

 

[burning blue soul]

I work in London and everyone has been very complimentary, dare I say they are supporting us to win the thing. Which is nice, I thought everyone hated us!

The media are gaslighting the nation.
For monetary gain they target their knuckle dragger customers to portray our club as unliked, but the reality is many other football fans are in Awe at the quality of football we play, and quietly cheer us on.

....... and not so quietly when the alternative is United or Liverpool winning anything.

Watched Thogdon’s Youtube podcast on the Madrid game, he went absolutely wild when Madrid scored and even joined in the celebratory chants.
Quiet as a mouse when we scored. Expected more from a northerner, unless he’s secretly of a red persuasion, supposedly a Bolton fan.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

The issue is "why the fuck are Rags and Dippers commentating on our games" It never happens the other way round.

Oh its soooooooooo much better watching ex scum and dippers having to blow smoke up our arse knowing that they
hate every fucking second of it...

Am I right or am I right?....

Those pictures today are great. I hope we wear red and black in the final (if we get there). It was our lucky kit last time we won a European trophy.

We would be the home team so we'll play in blue

So true mate. It's clear the moronic rag/dipper loving media and pundits, and the class of 92 are agonizing over us. Fans of other teams who love the game must admire the way we play, its beautiful to watch.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Spot on, very well put.
Who the hell said this "The only thing English about City is their location",

Have a guess. His initials are SJ and he is one of the worst out there for anti-City bile on Talkshite. I broke my five year ban on listening to those twats because I have been housebound for a few days. Big mistake.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

I met more Dutch tourists supporting Madrid than Spaniards. In fact outside the ground the only Spaniards I saw were trying to sell cheap Madrid tat to City supporters and looking confused when no one would buy it.

That was totally my experience. Most of the locals seem to support Atleti, certainly all the bar and restaurant staff. The ticket prices at Real price out the local community and they pack the ground with wealthy tourists. I didn't go when we played Atleti but I presume it is different there.

If it means us winning the trophy then so be it but to see us winning it in City's colours would mean more to me personally.
