Currently it’s the one about our massive squad seeing us through this COVID period. It’s literally smaller than all our rivals.
 
Empty stadium "Emptyhad" and "No 'istory" used to annoy me a bit - ignorant gits and all that but it was all a bit behind closed doors, but now its the "Biggest squad" that's the new lie being perpetrated and more and more out in the open by media and pundits. It's not so much the shite they say but the open way these people say it that annoys me.
 
I think in the last ten years our average has been slightly higher than the dippers, we actually had a higher average than the dippers in 2004 & 2005 which was before the takeover, sadly it will change this year because of stadium changes.
We’ll never have a fan base like the rags or dipper so it’s the least topic that bothers me. It’s quality not quantity that counts.

It doesn't exactly bother me me but I find the whole, "they're trying to create a rivalry with us" thing a bit baffling.
We already have a local rivalry and your attempt at trying to be relevant is making you look silly.
 
It's probably the myth about City boasting a bigger squad, which might have been true (or certainly nearer to the truth) in the Hughes/Mancini era, but has since seen been reduced to around 18 regulars plus youngsters and 3rd choice goalkeeper.
However, I suspect that United's latest defeat might tempt a few journalists into a more truthful comparison, especially as City don't have any unwanted peripheral squad members such a Lingard, Mata, Martial, Van De Beek, whose combined wage must be hemorrhaging their accounts.
 
Have a laugh and google:
Tell the truth T J. Did you eat the cupcakes?
 
It bothers me more from the media rather than fan wind ups. I started watching City in 84/85 season. I used to love buying 2 or 3 Sunday papers and reading about all clubs match reports etc. I actually enjoyed watching Liverpool and some great Arsenal sides and never once thought of excuses or reasons to belittle how well they played. So it really pisses me off that now its our turn in the limelight that everything is down to cheating or money. Although contrary to that I do believe genuine fans from other clubs would enjoy our level of play too. I guess what I am trying to say is that I no longer read newspapers or sports reports and watch most games with the sound off. It shouldnt be that way.
 
One funny one, many football fans like to compare their player's with others, my player is better bigger.. Like a D** competition.

When it comes to city, at the start of the season, almost the majority of Chelsea, Liverpool and United players are better than City ones, you can add Kane and another Arsenal one,

When things turn ugly for them, the bingo card show up :

Money
Best squad depth
Billions to buy the back 4

And the new one, they play like robots :) people cannot enjoy the display
 
As of now, the biggest squad myth. It used to be FFP cheats. Where's Emptyhad? ;-)
 
I love reading the painful whines on RAWK. Of late the general theme seems to be that we are making it too difficult for them to win by simply not dropping points. They seem to be of the mindset that whatever the get as a total should be enough and if it isn't then they are the victim. I even noticed it on several outlets over the weekend claiming that draws away to Spurs and Chelsea would normally be considered good points but now City make it feel like you lost. Carragher, Souness, Owen and many others have all stated the same nonsense that our performances are anti competitive and that Liverpool's deficit is purely down to City and not any failing of their own. Carragher even claimed that City make you feel as if the 'run in' starts as early as November. So in answer to your question, what they say speaks more about their pain than anything that pains me.
I think Souness , in particular, is very fair to City.
 
Nothing bothers me.
People say these things to wind you up, dont let it, just laugh !

This poll bothers me most, it shows our detractors that theyre getting to us.

How on earth Caragher still has a job after spitting on a young girl is completely beyond me. Saying he was aiming for her father is no defence it's disgusting behaviour. I accept he was being wound up, but if he has no better self control than this he has no place as a pundit or in civilised company. Have absolutely no interest in anything he has to say..
 
Got to be the "no one cares about city, there irrelivent" then go on a massive rant explaining why were sports washing, small club, cheating FFP, covering up covid etc
