Strange innit, we score a pen,so do they, they score a header,we score a better one, we then away from home to Stoke score two more goals than them and yet they have stardust and our score flatters us.One of my heros as a kid growing up! "Lacks the stardust that's at old Trafford " what a ****
I spoke to a bloke at City a few years ago, during at tour of the ground about how City are treated in the media. I said about ex players like Quinn and Mills always having a pop but he did say Quinn was a nice guy. He also said as a player he would, without fuss or publicity, help out in the soup kitchens in Manchester. No defence of Danny Mills mind .
Lol!That's because he ended up there when they found him the night before.
I heard that when I just flicked on to see the score. I remember us paying £38m for the best striker that the leagues ever seen and we got told that we're ruining football.I couldn't believe it when Tyler commenting on utds spending spree said about them spending £150mil. " well who can blame them,if you've got it flaunt it"
One of the best deals we ever did that..I think it quite insulting to Sergio that he costs half that of pogba.I heard that when I just flicked on to see the score. I remember us paying £38m for the best striker that the leagues ever seen and we got told that we're ruining football.
I do think a lot in the media want Pep to fail, not specifically for any bias against us
Thats the exact reason why they want him to fail, because its us!
Had he gone to Arsenal, Chelsea or the Rags it would have been an all together different narrative and tone being set.
I absolutely agree, the post match analysis certainly seemed at odds from the game I had just watched. Even during the period post Stoke scoring, I never really felt like we were under any real pressure, the two goals at the end that provided the 'flattering' scoreline were a reflection of the work Stoke needed to put into the previous 85 minutes of the game to keep pace with us. Like Pep said we had so many 'nearly' moments up until that point that we could well have had the game sewn up earlier.
I did find myself thinking that both Quinn and Souness were putting an unduly negative spin on a thoroughly professional display but quite frankly I don't give a toss. If the pundits want stardust, good for them, for me, I'll settle with a 4-1 win when we haven't reached our peak and still have a number of regulars to join the first team squad.

Ha ha ha that's awesome!!!Niall Quinn's bitter rants are the best,
At talking out of his arse he beats the rest,
Such as Owen, Mills and all rag sycophants
Niall Quinn's bitter rants
I do think a lot in the media want Pep to fail, not specifically for any bias against us but because of the way they have been bigging up the unique challenge of the premier league and how much if differs (is harder, more competitive etc) from the other European domestic leagues for years. If Pep comes in and basically blows that away, defying the critics that warned how hard a job he would have adapting us and his style, in turn making them look like the tools they are, it could be financially detrimental to some outlets as fans from other countries might start to take more interest in Spain or Germany.
Mourinho is seen now as part of the furniture and a premier league win by him at the shite is almost what they invented the premier league for
i quote Garth Crooks team of the week and Aguero
The referees' new directive this season could not have been clearer - any holding in the penalty area will be penalised. The Stoke City centre-back seemed to completely disregarded the warning and handed Manchester City and Sergio Aguero in particular the perfect gift. The infringement provided the catalyst for one of the most comprehensive demolition jobs I have seen for some time. Aguero is once again on cue for another 25 goals this season. If the Argentine were to reach that incredible landmark for the fifth consecutive campaign we may have to consider him Premier League player of the decade, never mind the season.
now that's how you call it Mr Quinn say what you see
Sniff sniff
Where have you been the last 7/8 years man for fuck sake.
Great stuff hahaNiall Quinn's bitter rants are the best,
