Twice this weekend a Fox Soccer Channel commentator has picked Man City as their favorite to finish first in the league. Most notably, Eric Wynalda in discussion with Warren Barton on "Goal Sunday". Wynalda also made the comment, "too many United supporters on the staff" (paraphrased). It should be noted that Eric Wynalda was the only Fox commentator to pick Barca over ManU in the UEFA CL final, predicting a final score of 3-2, Barca. Sensible head on his shoulders , that Eric. Of course the old boy Warren Barton laughed at both predictions. ;-)


We see so much negative press, I thought it would be good to have a thread for positive quotes.

Post 'em if you got 'em :D
 
It's a set up. Build us up so they can knock us down later if those expectations aren't met.

Well that's what my paranoia says anyway.
 
One or two in the Irish printed media tipped us for the title also (although the majority went for the hack's best pals fc).
Probably the weirdest comment in the previews that I read came from Eamon Dunphy, in the Irish Daily Star* where he claimed that Sergio Aguerro is only a "show pony" and will "not be mapped in City's games against the bigger teams".
This, by the way, is the same guy who insisted on calling Ronaldo a show pony from the first time he saw him in England and wouldn't let it go - even when the tranny was banging in 40-odd goals a season. He also questioned the wisdom of our signing Tevez, back in the day, but is now adamant that we're f**ked unless we can keep him.

*A double misnomer - good thing it comes out daily or it'd be a hat trick.
