I searched ‘RAWK down’ on Twitter a couple of times yesterday and found more tweets about it from City (and one Arsenal) fan than I did us lot. Not an in depth study but nice to know we’re still popular.

PrestwichBlue (I presume from Blueloon) crowing that RAWK was down because City have "broken us".

Weirdo.

Miguel Delaney had an article yesterday about them having it easy this season and leaning towards money

i replied pretty much saying how money is no object at all to them stating how they can simply replace players with money being no object and not many clubs have that luxury

you should see the replies i got, apparently stating that means I'm a bitter, self entitled, arrogant crybaby who should get his coaching badges to replace Pep, am also a person that I find irritating according to some

Ahh, the great sports-washed of Manchester. The only reason Man City haven’t suffered this season is down to the state funds that have been pumped into the club as part of the Abu Dhabi sports washing project. They haven’t had many injuries, but it wouldn’t matter if they’d had as many as we have. Injuries don’t affect their squad because of the billions they have spent on players. Another of their favourites is’ every team has the same number of players in the squad’. What they don’t see is that Pep has spent hundreds of millions collecting a squad full of first team players, whereas the likes of us have to pad the squad out with cheaper players and youth players. City can rotate the squad as they have the same quality players as back up, also anyone getting injured is replaced with a player of similar quality. If they don’t have any, they just spend another couple hundred million in even more replacements.
They will win the Covid league this season, but it’s only because of the billions of pounds  of Abu Dhabi state funds.

All Pep is doing is the real life equivalent of playing football manager with the unlimited funds cheat code. I won every trophy going doing that.

pretty much what I said. Plus mentioned if players don't work for them it's no bother to replace them with more expensive players the next year.

Apparently them spending 100m.on Ake and Dias to replace otamendi and cover laporte is exactly the same as us buying Davies and kabak when van dijk was injured

Remember hearing how poor the German league was, the fact that we only beat rb leipzig 2-0 was seen as the bare minimum.

Remember how more German teams than English teams made it to the knockout stages? The German league isn’t poor, just not as rich as one or two others  ;)

Gladbach have the 5th best squad in the league though, so to even be in the competition was them punching above their weight, added to that they are going through a bit of a crisis at the moment. 

I don't read any of the post game nonsense, certainly not from insignificant fanbases like Abu Dhabi's, so whoever was pushing that it was considered easy to beat Leipzig, was basically making shit up to have a dig at Liverpool - something we are used to. It wastn’t actually a reflection on the team or league they play in.

Oh I know. It's just amusing that they beat a German side with less resources and lower in the league by the exact same score..

It's all stuff in isolation. Like how Allison was suddenly a clown after the Man City and Leicester games.

The big difference is, if Pep wants to rest players he just brings in some other £50 m+ player off the bench. It’s really not the same thing as other clubs having to deal with it.

Will go down as the most underwhelming league win ever. No atmosphere, no competition, the rest of the top 6 being shite.

It would have at least been entertaining if there was a title race. But it’s just the most expensive team of all time walking their way to a title in empty stadiums.

Definitely, they could do the parade around the empty streets of Manchester. Wouldn’t be too dissimilar to their last one really. To be honest, I hope they win every trophy that we don’t. Only when that happens every year will the authorities, clubs, rival fans etc really see what they are doing to the game.

id love to know why people think our title was tainted

if it wasnt for covid we might have sealed the title around st patricks day which is absolutely nuts

the league was over by mid january

last few games we dropped some points and still won it easy. if it was a formula 1 race it was like the leading driver winning by 4 laps


i wouldnt view their impending one this year as tainted, the league was close for ages but there was potential for a team to put a run together and blow everyone away, thought it would be us but injuries have ruined it

given theyve won about 18 matches running in  all competitions it would have been hard to keep up even with a full team

Our title wasn't tainted, and everyone knows that. It was won before Covid anyway. We could have declared at the restart and let all the other clubs play the season out and we'd still have won it.

The "tainted title" talk I referenced was by Abu Dhabi fans earlier in this season when we were top and they were yet to find their form. The talk from them back then was of this being a "meaningless covid title watched by no one." Of course, that narrative has changed now.   ::)

I've not been keeping a close eye on things, admittedly, but has there been any moaning in the media or general football forums about one team running away with it this season, like there was last time? Especially since the team running away with it is rumoured to have a 200m pound transfer budget this summer after a year of empty stadiums, while everyone else is dampening their fans' expectations with talk of economic realism?

Christ, even when we were running away with it last year, we knew we couldn't let standards slip too far because we knew there was a very good side beneath us that could go on a killer run if they smelt blood in the water. Man City looks down and see a dogshit Man Utd side that have been scrapping for points since Clattenburg's revelation forced the refs to be more subtle, and a Leicester side that is falling apart with injuries. Meanwhile, a fake-arse moneybags club wins its 21st in a row. Tainted? Boring? Hello?

Atleast they will get their ‘*’ back that they were so joyously attaching to Liverpool’s amazing title win.

Let's be honest P27 W26 D1 L0 is much, much, much more impressive than
P27 W20 D5 L2

Very true. Without all the injuries we’ve had and the Ref/VAR agenda against us, we would very likely have won the league again this year.
