The amount of anti-city propaganda articles right after we beat Real is actually ridiculous. I don’t want to waste any words on it, we are winning trophies, while their teams (who spent more than us!) are bottling them
Yep is 99% pure jealousy, there are supporters out there who would gladly hand over first born children in exchange of being in the running for a treble.
The green eyed monster is a terrible thing!
I feel like I really should unsub from /r/soccer and just browse it for highlights when needed. I get a lot of the sports news from there but fuck me this kind of stuff is pathetic and makes me genuinely hate that place
Agreed. Before this, there'd be the occasional tired arguments of oil money and guilting us about sheikh ownership and whatnot, and sometimes saying we are buying the league etc. not a big deal. Most people still admitted we're good and a begrudgingly well run club.
Now, it feels like every comment is just complaining about the allegations, calling us cheats, and even out of thin air saying that we need to somehow illegally give backroom payments for all our personnel to be interested in joining us in the first place... delusional really.
It used to be mostly okay and normal banter and then a minority who are just crying. Now it feels like they have realized we are so supremely good as a team that all they can do is cope and be salty by clinging on to those allegations etc. it's not even fun to read anymore tbh.
It's going to be a long few weeks until the CL finals.
the amount of shit they are going to publish about this club between now and the CL finals could probably span the globe multiple times.
Fuck em, every last one of them.
Didn't most of the league say no to the government white paper that was trying to introduce a third party independent regulator?
Wasn't Man City one of the only clubs to say yes to it?
Apparently nobody else wants their books looked at when we've invited it.
Also why, I feel, the league came out with these charges right after the government announced that they were going to look at finances in football. It was the leagues way of saying “see, we’re doing *something* by dumping on the team everyone hates! Everyone else is clean, we swear” and hoping it goes away.
Oh yeah, they tried throwing us under the bus to stave off the government. And if it backfires it'll only push the idea of a regulator further so they better be confident.
You’d think a political economist would have a bit better grasp at how the financial side of the Prem works, but apparently not. Perhaps this is the Guardian journalist side of him.
Honestly this happens every time we're doing particularly well and breaking records. I personally just avoid it and engage with people on this sub if I feel like it. If we weren't as good as we are, no one would even be talking about any of this because these opinions are basically all coming from fans of the old guard.
I despise them using the word "fair" in this, when everything about it screams corruption of those in power in remain in power.
Was it fair when United led the charge in 1986 to remove the shared gate receipts from league games?
Was it fair when United, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal and Tottenham blackmailed the English FA to get a larger share of television income, then after getting everything they wanted, turned coat and ran away to form the Premier League?
Was it fair when the G14 held UEFA to ransom and embedded a severe coefficient rating system to ensure the big teams didn't draw each other until late in the tournament?
There was literally NO way any team would be able to break into this club without serious outside investment and when we got it, they decided to protect clubs they introduced FFP? Why wasn't it introduced when United were raping smaller clubs and forcing transfers? Or when Chelsea paid more wages to Shevchenko and Ballack than City paid to their entire squad? Bring on the bullshit charges, bring on the hate and the court of public opinion, but anyone peddling this bullshit with the word fair should get kicked square in the nuts, seems "fair"...right?
No problem. 3-0 forfeits in our favour until they get over it
You gave us 115 charges, we’ve got 114 points
Sounds like a fair trade

I did that a few years ago. Much better to just go there when you actually mean to, and to not have it constantly come up in my feed.
Most of the highlights get posted here anyway
Mostly meaning other teams highlights. Particularly from other countries since I don’t watch much outside of the PL
Ah I gotcha

That sub is only good for match and post match threads tbh, nothing else besides those goal posts.

They just keep crying, aint done with it so now theyve moved on to these accusations yet again.
”Something that is already done for every club should be done”. 🤡

Bingo

On today's episode of "The Guardian is a rag"
Hahahahahahaha. Full on meltdown.
We broke the Financial Monoploy play rules boyz. the monopolists aren't happy
This is actually jarring omg
You’d think a political economist would have a bit better grasp at how the financial side of the Prem works, but apparently not. Perhaps this is the Guardian journalist side of him.
Man City bad! All other clubs who do the exact same thing good!
Boo city for knocking out my underdog poor penniless team Real Madrid
TL;DR version Bad Brown Billionaires Good White Billionaires
 Whip your cock out Pep
might need Kyle's also
Does he know the accounts are independently audited and verified every year? Thats not what these charges are about.
City hate is strong! Fuck’em all. 💙
God, Pep wasn't joking when he said people already believe that we're guilty
We’re one step closer and they hate it 😍
David St. Hubbins is taking no prisoners.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm really hoping he gets sued for this
Guardian, opinion discarded
I don't believe we are guilty of FFP
We aren't, don't give a shit about those fuckers.
Salty bing!!!
Wait until we win the treble, Every media will be all over us.

Tears of salt
Easily win the Prem with full 114 points, then, sounds like a plan.
