Much of what he said there is absolutely bang on, but the idea we should be judged more harshly than others because we have 'set the benchmark' is bollocks. We are the team everyone is desperate to beat & he knows that.
Utd won the title, have spent fucking fortunes since, & not even put in a decent challenge for the title & yet he now sees what they are doing as 'ok'.
Liverpool were second, & didn't put in a title challenge yet they are 'ok'. Arsenal have brought in Sanchez & Ozil to add to a side we were being told was going to beat us to the title last year. Where the fuck have they been ? That's 'ok' ?
It's bullshit. City should have been better & the players should be working much harder, that is absolutely true, but so should every other fucker, & just because we happened to win the title last year, doesn't excuse all those other wankers having a year off.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Utd, should all have done much much better, just like us. And they should be getting shit for it, just like us.
