Turned it on at 6am and it was like watching MUTV. Also the papers are like the Daily Rag. Embarrassing really. The media are desperate for us not to win. Hopefully this galvanises the players to ram it down their throats

Just seen Noel on a BBC clip and I was glad he pointed out; yes, we threw money at it in the early days to get where we wanted to be, but since then, in the last 5 years, others have outspent us. It's not as if we are blowing people away in auctions on the world's best players, we've come from behind to win the Premier league a couple of times or won it on the last day so we're not making the league uncompetitive. These points need getting over to the ordinary viewers, rather than the narrative set about money and unfairness set by journalists that plain dislike us. Nice one.

The whole rags winning the treble with all homegrown players really pisses me off as it’s just inaccurate. That side had Cole (record transfer when they bought him), Stam who cost £10M and Yorke who cost £12M, when the British record was shearer at £15M. I’d love to dig out a stat to prove it but I’m sure they were the biggest spenders in the 90s. Keane was the British record when they bought him. GPC pulled out all the stops to sign Shearer before Newcastle got him.
 
What gets me with their treble “legacy” crap is they won the league by 1 point with only 79 points and officials in their back pockets, fluked the CL win and nothing is mentioned of our own recent treble, ( quad if you add the charity shield) where we had much stronger opposition and won despite officials.
The media keep bringing up their treble but seem to have erased ours from history

Guaranteed if the rags or dippers had won the only domestic treble in English football history the media would make a much bigger deal of it.

I mean, they and the Daily Mail are right, just as the FA Cup semi final was about us finally beating them in a big game, and the Kompany derby was about us finally finishing above them

Fast forward just 10 years and they're fighting for their lives to uphold their supposed 'legacy'. What a pathetic position for the so-called 'biggest team in the world' to be in

God, I hope we tear them apart today

They’d love it if we didn’t exist.
 
The Guardian being the Guardian.....

in the sky-blue corner we have potential Cup winners with 115 charges of financial and administrative misconduct hanging over them. Perhaps this is football’s idea of dramatic irony.

Manchester City, of course, deny breaking the rules. City’s supporters, who have the chance to boo not one governing body but two in the next couple of weeks, make the point that these rules shouldn’t exist in the first place and therefore deserve to be broken.

It is at least an impressive on-brand, dictator-level approach to reform. Not to mention one that has to date worked out pretty well. Frankly, City could bring back hacking and unilaterally re-abolish the crossbar. If your lawyers are expensive enough it all tends to work out in the end.

If anyone suggests that the "Class of 92" was some kind of miracle, you might also want to point out that in 1992 there were 13 Premier League players from outside the British Isles.

A supposedly serious journalist (well, Barney Ronay) coming out with the most desperate line of the red shirt fans in the comments section, that City were only cleared because they had expensive lawyers. Surprised he didn’t say “everybody knows”. Truly pathetic
