Must say there is a fair bit of truth in there from Samuel. All good things come to an end. But hopefully it won't be for a little while yet. And as a club, off the field, we are arguably in a better shape than the rags were when Bacon fucked off

But in essence, the manager is the most important guy at a club and to replace the best in the world who is a serial winner is gonna be a very difficult job

Agree with this.Thankfully we have owners who are in front of most things. Pep’s future is now short term if you are being pragmatic. If we win the CL. It will start the clock IMO. His appreciation of everything and everybody on Sunday was a joy to see, it was so lovely and in my opinion a sign of the boss just possibly saying something without saying it!

6th story down on Sunday

Now it's all PR about charges all of a sudden.

Twats.

Sadly it's the way it is. And articles denigrating City will appeal to fans of our rivals. Again, the way it is

Have a good birthday by the way my friend

Is this the beginning of the end for Slug Tebas?

So out of touch it’s embarrassing

What the fuck :

If City’s title needs to come with an asterisk, my team of the season is easier: Brighton

Laughable

We are in with a chance of a treble of PL FA Cup & CL. Only two teams have ever been in this position before.

Dippers in 1977 & rags in 1999.

And of course, only one actually did it. So regardless of how we fare in the respective finals, the achievement is still phenomenal. To then say Brighton are the team of the season is quite frankly an insult.

Brighton in the PL were clapping whilst we were parading the trophy. Again. For the fifth time in six years

The more articles that I (don't) read like this, the more successful we have become. It breaks their tiny hearts - love it

Just seen a piece on BBC News talking about Luton Town's promotion. Mentioned squad costs and said that Manchester City's squad cost over £1 billion and Luton's was about £3 or £4 million. I then went onto www.tranfermrkt.co.uk which has all the transfer fees paid. Totalling up our transfer fees worked out at €916.7 million, converting that to pounds sterling at todays rate the figure comes out at just under £800 million. Now I know these are massive figures but that's the cost of football in 2023, but why do the BBC feel the need to inflate the cost of our squad - in a news article - by 25%. I had a quick look at Luton's transfers while I was on and it is a bit harder to get the figures for these but several player's are on loan with a compulsory purchase included so the true figure of Luton's squad is nowhere near the £3 or £4 million quoted, the loan for Nakamba was €5 million and the purchase cost at the end is a further €4 million. It looks like our squad cost has been inflated by something in the region of 25% while Luton's has been estimated at a figure roughly 1/8th of it's cost. Is this just disingenious reporting or is there a hidden, or maybe very obvious, agenda being driven here.

Agenda.
You always hear:
- oil money spent
- Transfer fee's we pay that are actually inflated to fit the agenda
- And my personal favor: City can buy anyone, even if we proved in almost occasion that we don't go into bidding wars.

Whilst the Rags can't even get the urinals and the drains sorted out and all have to put up with Old Pisstones smell on their trousers and shoes. Our owner and the City Board are investing 300 million to improve a Council house they do not even own and pay a Kings ransom for( compared to the bubble blowers of old London town). Yet idiots in the media sometimes still worry about "in the Long Term - if they get bored ". These extra non-Football projects will bring big Dosh into City's Coffers. Concerts, events, small business activities. Great vision and Compliments to the owners and Board.

And to be fair, is not just City.
Is usually things that don't fit the pattern and the mass of idiots (rags, scouse, or fans). Usually the establishment, no matter the country, have the media and the agenda in their way.

I am mind blown locally that FCSB has lost all the trials with Steaua Bucharest, there was proven in multiple courts that they are not Steaua and they used the name illegally between 2003-2013 and still the media found a way to call Steaua - CSA Steaua to fit the agenda of the fans of FCSB (majority) and create confussion.

So, in conclusion, I think the only fair way is to ignore them and get only the media that you know will be either pro City or at least fair, but I can't think of anyone except Samuel.

My wife asked me why i was laughing when got out of my car when i got home from the pub about an hour ago. I had talkshite on and they (no idea who the fuck they were) discussing Kane.

One argued if he stays another year it would be a season wasted.... go sign for Rags and at least get chumps league.

Then the next clueless cunt spoke.... go on a free next season to RM play your prime years there.... wait fot ..... wait for it....... and then be part of a swap deal with Haaland and end your career at City.

Only put it on because Spotify was playing up

How i didn't piss myself I've know clue

Our friends down the quays managed to crowbar the trophy lift above a PL ILLEGAL headline - tragic.
