Topic: Man City - cheating bastards rumbled

Don't start this shit again or the thread will get locked

You know what people on here are like

[Dave McCoy]

Well, we know nothing about this.  We don’t know if Manchester City knew of any of this other than the house party.

It’s really really not a good thing for us to get tribal over, it really isn’t.

What is worrying, is that potentially, a sex offender may have been released on bail only ot offend again. And if true, that’s awful for the victims.

That's why I'm trying to make it clear that I'm not discussing the allegations themselves, more that there should be as much scrutiny over what ManC knew and when as what Mendy is getting.  I suppose you're right that it will probably just devolve into ugliness.  But when you read this it's a whole different level from the money laundering/sportswashing and shouldn't just be hand waved away either.

A premier league and international footballer has been remanded in custody charged with 4 counts of rape.   That's FACT.  Not "Them scousers" making things up, but an actual hard FACT

Whether he gets found guilty or not remains to be seen of course.  You just cant pretend this isn't serious and stop grown men and women wanting to talk about it.

This is much bigger news than that of Billionaire owned Abu Dhabi FC almost signed a Billionaire 36-year-old striker from Juventus and is likely going to go down as the biggest and most high profile criminal trial of a footballer...EVER.

Tell ya what though this line in that article is absolute rubbish:

The club has historically struggled to fill the stadium for European nights with many fans unconvinced by Uefa’s blue-ribbon, rebranded tournament and have even booed the anthem prior to kick-off.

They struggle to fill the stadium for any game. Everyone knows they pad attendance figures. They pretend to not like the CL as a convenient excuse. The fans are absolutely desperate to win it more than anything, partly because they think that it will finally give them some respect (it won’t like, but they can dream).

[Chakan]

I'm so confused, they sell out every game, it's in the their accounts, yet Pep is asking fans to show up?

[Gili Gulu]

He [Guardiola] is absolutely the best coach in the world but, in the nicest possible way, I think maybe he should stick to that.

I like how the Secretary of the supporter's group thinks it's not the coach's business whether the fans turn up or not, as if it does not in any way affect the team's performance.

"People refer to the Etihad as the 'Emptyhad'. It's a little bit of fun by the opposition supporters but there's no justification for it.

Apart from the thousands of empty seats everyone can see on TV every home game.

Traffic on the M60 and Ashton Old Road can be an utter nightmare, thousands get stuck for every home game in it and sadly miss the game.

Manchester Guardian journalist twisting themselves into knots trying to put a positive spin on a story about a Manchester football club, what a surprise.

What amuses me is that if they were truly secure in their own success the catcalls from rival fans wouldn't bother them.

[rob1966]

They've taken 1000 seats away too for the advertising hoardings and still cannot fill the stadium.

[RJH]

I'm sure City fans would claim that that is a misleading photo, and was actually taken an hour before kick-off

Pep's not the smartest, you can't fill seats when you don't have that many authentic fans.....

So much on this.

But the line about fans being unconvinced about the rebranded tournament… they were never fucking in the old one.

Tiny tiny club.

If City want to have a full ground every home game then they should build a smaller stadium.

[Son of Spion]

What is it with the insecure smaller clubs from Liverpool and Manchester?

Our own Bitters have their ridiculous "People's Club" slogan and the Manc Bitters have their "This is Our City" slogan too.

Desperate or what. 

[Jake]

I hope even less fans go to watch them now.

There is no excitement to city. Why would you bother.

Sooner the stadium gets blown up by someone who calls in advance to make sure everyone is out, the better.

A remarkable European Parliament resolution on the UAE has called on "international companies sponsoring Expo 2020 Dubai to withdraw their sponsorship and encourages Member States not to participate in the event"  in part due to its appalling mistreatment of Ahmed Mansoor

Those Pep comments really made me laugh. But by far the best bit, is all the justification they try to give. Their atmosphere was one of the worst I’ve ever seen in the CL. All the talk about difficulties getting there and into the ground aren’t unique to them. Every team has the same struggles and yet they are the only ones who never fill out their ground. It happens every year in the CL too

It’s truly hilarious when you consider what sort of atmosphere Newcastle or even Villa fans would bring to that fixture if they’d qualified in city’s place.

[HeartAndSoul]

If City want to have a full ground every home game then they should build a smaller stadium.

I am sure they are planning on expanding their stadium? Is that so they can cook the books even more?

There is no reason why they should be expanding when they can’t even fill out what they have currently.

The attendance for the Wycome League Cup game will be a record low next week.

[RedSince86]

Bluemoon with the audacity to mock 7 times European Cup winners AC Milan because Klopp said the game was a proper Champions league Tie

A club with no European Cups to the name and are only in the tournament annually because of State finanancial doping, and their fanbase is mocking the mighty and great AC Milan status in football.

[I've been a good boy]

AC Milan get more fans at San Siro playing Sassuolo than City would in a Champions League Final. Stay in your lane you smalltime c*nts. Come back when you have a European Trophy to your name, you know, the one we have six of.

Brilliant fusion of a billionaire state and a non existent fan base who don’t care.

Pep must go to bed knowing nobody cares about it, especially the Man City fans.
