Kenilworth Road is a real throwback to the 1980s. It would be fascinating to see Erling Haaland and the rest of the prem superstars rocking up there next season.

No wonder the Luton chairman made a comment about it last night.

Why Haaland had to be mentioned is beyond me.

You do realise that we're the biggest thing in football right now?

Which isn’t even written by him. Conversation with his ghost writer probably went like this:

Ghost Writer: Right Wayne, paper needs 1500 words by tomorrow, what topic should we cover this week

WR: nited

GW: We can’t keep writing about them every week otherwise people might think we are some sort of marketing propaganda for them. We need to be transparent at all times.

WR: I am no trans parent

GW: I said transparent not trans, oh never mind, I need a topic to writ3 about

WR: nited

GW: How about we write about what a great team City are and all the negative press they receive is unjustified

WR nited done treble, City not great

GW: Okay, let’s write about how nited can stop them winning the treble

WR: Yeah, let’s
 
The Andy Cole and the Wayne Rooney article should of been written after if we had won the treble! Writing it now gives them a better opportunity to criticise us!

Oh! If we don’t win the treble they’ll be Hundreds of articles kicking us again..

Harris the Hatchet Man at the Daily United.

Healine article.

You can imagine what most of the comments are, and probably from supporters of Liverpool, United and Arsenal.

When are City going to ban this Rag and it’s reporters from the Etihad? Another attack and smear on the club which has happened throughout the season. Yet City still allow the Daily Mail and their reporters into the Etihad and feed the fucking pigs!!

Two articles from the Daily Mail highlighting how good our youth set up is for making money and how much City earn from tv money. However we all know City have to rely on Sheikh Mansour for hand outs and all our income is inflated.

"The 36 'stockpile stars' cost City a total of £99.67m in fees paid and, so far, have earned £87m in fees recouped."

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ALL this and we ended up breaking even? What's the point of this article I am dying

It's the ones he hasn't mentioned which would water down his shit piece.

Profits galore on the business model. Feel free to mention Kelechi, Enes Unal, Sancho.

Twat doesn't even factor the zero fees for Lavia.

But he knows that already.

What a wanker.
 
Jack Grealish cost £100m. Enzo Fernandez cost £107m. Think about how many times you've heard or seen Grealish's fee mentioned compared to Fernandez's. Why is that?
Our recent title victory has triggered an absoloute avalance of anti-City articles and commentaries. Liverpool have failed to qualify for the Champions League, missing about £100m in revenue. The print and television media is infested with Liverpool fans. The negativity is not coincidental.
Martin Samuel's article about the inherent protectionist corruption of FFP is glossed over, I've seen another decent article about how words and language really matter, they set the tone of a whole narrative, and using the word "fair" in FFP establishes and ingrains the idea that anybody spending and investing money to compete with the established elite, is doing something "unfair" or is "cheating". If they called the exact same rules the Elite Protection Rules ("EPR") they'd achieve the same goals, but nobody would care about them being potentially broken. "Fairness" is what matters, but fairness to who? If Newcastle start regularly taking one of the Champions League places from the elite, they better get their legal teams ready, because that's not "fair".
Meanwhile we'll keep collecting trophies, and giving two fingers to the "unfairness"....

Completely agree. The media HATE us. They've done their best to create an asterisk against our achievements through speculation and myth peddling. There is a relentless wave of negativity in the reporting on City, there is no balance or objectivity, just opinions dressed up as fact.

It's extremely frustrating, but I try to ignore the noise. These are incredible times to be a City fan and they won't last forever, so we've got to enjoy every second. Fuck the begrudgers.

The media don't hate us at all. They probably love us.

Why? Because the media make money out of us. You think all this bile would be written if there wasn't a market for it?

You are absolutely right that there is a relentless wave of negativity. That is because that is what brings in all those clicks.

If you want to understand how the media works in the digital age, imagine the people viewing the on-line media are in fact voyeurs of porn. We are the most gorgeous pornstar, therefore we get the most clicks. Except people aren't clicking to see pretty cheesy pictures of us smiling and being nice to cats. They want to see us being dirty, and that's what the media gives them.

No money in 'City play gorgeous football.'

Plenty of money in 'City are cheats.'

If anyone couldn't give a toss about changing rooms then its big Earl, he has seen his fair share of small basic grounds in his time .

He's mentioned, because he's the biggest name by far in the PL :)
