Whereas Chelsea’s bench is made up of academy players & free transfers

No mention of 3 academy players starting, a free transfer in net, a £15m steal at CB & a £14m World Cup winning striker #bargains

Daniel Harris is mailable on the Guardian MBM.
Before kick-off I told him "Suck it up c*nt" but without the asterisk that twats like him seem to like.
I can recommend you do the same, it felt strangely satisfying.

 

[Axel Freed]

The media don’t seem to be showing the cumulative points totals comparing us to the dippers this year

Them winning the quadruple last year probably renders such stats irrelevant

 

[hello]

Oh look, bench money mention as soon as Sky finally decides to feature us, 15 minutes before kick off.
Any top team bench would cost that if they put all their 1st 11 on it

Did they do starting xi comparison as Chelsea’s would be way higher?

Just a late press entry Miguel update
He completed the Hackney half Marathon today.Apparently he ran under the finishing tape in a mediocre time
Far better than running for an Avanti northbound train today

Never heard the word ‘bench’ so often.

Sutton( on 5-Live): "Who would you give Mgr of the season to?"

Presenter: "Has to be Pep if he wins the Treble..."

Sutton: "That's just the boring answer".

NO. IT's THE FUCKING CORRECT ANSWER YOU BITTER ****.

FUCK OFF!!!

 

[Tracking back]

It has begun....

So to summarise:

Boo fucking hoo!

The historical premier league cartel can no longer compete at the top table. Fuck them. What goes up must come down and the teams in red have had their day.

The bench sponsored by B&Q

 

[Tracking back]

That's okay.

Chelsea have got a £106,000,000.00 player on the pitch who is going to end his season with fuck all.

Headlines - 9 pts deduction for pitch invasion.

 

[TinFoilHat]

It's not as if the media have enough sticks to beat us with.

Cheers you stupid cunts. Enjoy the "likes" at the expense of your season cards.

For sure, City must win their Champions League final against Inter of Milan in Istanbul next month if domestic achievements are not to lose some of their shine. Meanwhile, 115 Premier League charges remain outstanding. If some of those stick, we may start to look at much of this in a rather different way. History will judge City in an alternative light if they are proved to have gamed the league’s financial guidelines.

But until that day comes we will judge City by this, by what they do the field. This was consecutive Premier League win number twelve. During that run they have also beaten Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with terrifying comfort in Europe.

Are Guardiola’s City the best Premier League team we have ever seen? It’s almost impossible to say and while a treble of league, FA Cup and Champions League would bolster their case, it doesn’t really matter.

What they are right now is everything they always wanted to be. When the Abu Dhabi blueprint was drawn up back in early September of 2008, this is exactly what it looked like.

IAN LADYMAN: Man City have come up with the blueprint for dominance

IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: It has not been easy for Pep Guardiola and his team this season. Winning the league will never be that. But they have made it look so.

Redknapp fit to cry

I dont know how you win 5 out of 6 PLs, 3 of which were done before the final day, and you still have people questioning your legacy.

Sports journalism has gone to shit.

'Journalism'?

Just bitter's with a social media megaphone.

 

[schfc6]

what a fucking bitter twat

Have to agree with him. We best not take Guardiola for granted. Things won’t be as easy when he’s gone..

Even Talkshite would be embarrassed with this title....

Did they mention how much the respective starting XIs cost?

 

[Gobshiight]

Are we seeing a live snubbing from Pep?

He's kept Sky waiting about half an hour so far, they're running out of talking points
