He's basically saying the PL have gone for the sensational, rather than practical approach, and now seem to have bitten off more than they can chew, and that City spending is making the PL look ridiculous.

Nowhere does he suggest City shouldn't be free to spend money however they like (within PL regulations of course) while the case is unresolved.

Basically, like everyone else, he's just saying the length of time is unacceptable.


I read the dialogue of this Talkshite piece yesterday. Agree that he is having a pop at the PL in the main. I'm surprised more is not being made of it bearing in mind who is next up for us but it is only Thursday.


Oh, the usual rash of articles and opinions on 115 are flooding social media as we speak.


I only use LinkedIn thankfully. Have they asked that quinten fortune and louus saha for their opinions yet - they're usually wheeled out for the derby - cannot wait for that.

No, but we've had this

MARESCA VS HAALAND?
LOCKER-ROOM POWER STRUGGLE?
WHO REALLY RUNS THE ETIHAD?

Indeed. I think it was Hants(?) who said that after our perfect start, the press expecting the post Pep collapse would be foaming at the mouths and looking for any and all agendas.
We all have long since learned to ignore the noise and crack on. It is amusing to see what they dream up though.
Maresca and the club bit back on Tuesday post match. I think that is a big difference - perhaps Pep was less inclined but I'm all for calling these goons out.

Silvestre is another one. Or Sylvester, whatever the fuck he's called. I remember him saying that City wouldn't be in the top 4. I think that year we got 100 points and won, of course.

Haven't seen the silly cunt on tv since :D

Deleted Facebook years ago, never regretted it, what a useless clickbait ad-driven platform that was. Twitter on the other hand is comedy gold, its like shooting fish in a barrel.

I see Rodri has issued an apology after being caught by the lip reading police on camera during the game at Valencia. Being a twat must be in the Farca DNA & he's quickly gotten the hang of it.
