99 goals with no number 9 is on the bbc page now. I mean Gabriel Jesus is a centre forward, he wears number nine, but don’t let that spoil it.
But they won the league after missing out on Sir Harold Kane its the biggest achievement ever seen in football.

I wonder what they will do after the new Premier League sponsorship deals rules. 12 UAE companies as sponsers instead of 6 inflated deals ?

I know people didn’t like Newcastle takeover but good things came from it so far. Clubs are scared because after few years 4 clubs will be fighting for a CL position if Newcastle did the same as City. They are trying to push for new rules and put pressure on the Premier Leauge and anything applies to Newcastle will apply indirectly to City.

Yeah, I can’t believe Guardiola has managed to convince everyone that this is a thing.

I suppose we don’t have a striker either. I mean, we have Origi, but he’s as much of a striker as Gabriel Jesus is. To have the success we have over the last few years without a striker during this whole period is pretty impressive.

Because again its all about banter.

You dont meet many City fans so its a lot more palatable for them 'gloating' than us, who are much more (just in every way).

“ After a day of intense drama, and another unbelievable comeback, Manchester City have just won their fourth Premier League title in five seasons, which is an amazing achievement - so why does it feel like they still don't get the credit they deserve?”

Everyone knows the answer - because City winning the league should be a formality. It should be done and dusted by Feb.  Winning it on the last day is irrelevant.  Shrug shoulders and move on.

I take it the dickhead had never flown out of Manchester before then.

They've always had Liverpool shirts on sale there, and Liverpool T-shirts, keyrings etc.

Why? Because they are big sellers. We also have lots of fans in the Manchester area and even more in the Manc airport catchment area. Our national and international support is absolutely massive, so an international airport shop will reflect this.

I go in that shop in Manc airport every time I fly from there. They sell loads of our stuff. They stock it because it sells. They have less Abu Dhabi stuff than Liverpool and United stuff because they sell less of it.

They already sell Abu Dhabi tops in that shop. It's just that our range and United's range in there is bigger because our fanbases dwarf theirs and sell far more than they do. I've been going in there for years. I don't suppose this cryarse mentioned the Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Putin FC shirts also on sale in there? 🤔

Other fanbases see us as sanctimonious gloaters - I think the word I've seen a few use online in the last 24 hours is 'insufferable'. I've never paid it much heed but I have noticed of late that posters on here will routinely refer to every other club as shit or cheats, and view every opposition player as either not good enough for us or willing to go for money instead of the honour of playing for a 'real' club like Liverpool. I don't know if that's a reflection of fans online, but if it is I can understand the urge to laugh at us failing. I'm not saying they should be doing that, but I understand.

And here we are, on high horse, proud for supporting a proper football club, not giving two shits about their money laundering club and their opinions. Even their owner doesn't give a shit about them and their opinions, they exist just for the esthetics. Their sheikh needs them to appear on a billboard whilst they are advertising their money laundering machine.

I'm sorry SoS, I have to pull you up there. That can't be right because they have the biggest income in world football and more commercial income than us and Utd. There'll be less City stock because they've sold it and can't restock due to the global demand. There's only more of our stuff because it doesn't sell.

I think I've got that right, do you think I could get a job as a City influencer?

I do wonder what people (the media) think Gabriel Jesus is, despite the fact Pep chooses to play him out wide.  ADFC fans might say that he misses too many chances but every striker misses. Such a weird narrative!

We dont have a striker either. Mo is a right winger, Diogo, Luis and Sadio are left wingers and Bobby is a false 9. No attacking midfielders either.

You're right, but surely you'd rather have your club have some success than just laugh at others?
But this is what it's come to. How many clubs can realistically be successful now? Liverpool have the best legitimate team in the world. There are also two sportswashes cuckooing the the top four, soon to be three cuckoos. Other than in an anomalous season, no one is realistically getting a look in at the cups, and they have no chance at the league. What's left? Europa places. That's it really, unless you see surviving relegation as a trophy in itself.

All most fanbases have left now is taunting others about failing at something they could only dream about even competing in. Before we lifted no19 we had people whose club had never won a title in their history taunting us over not winning it in over 20+ years, conveniently forgetting we had 18 of them in our trophy room.

After Kiev we had fanbases who have never even been in a European Cup Final taunting us over losing one, despite the fact we had another five in our trophy cabinet.

Sadly, for the vast majority of fanbases, schadenfreude is the only success they can now realistically experience.

I wonder what they will do after the new Premier League sponsorship deals rules. 12 UAE companies as sponsers instead of 6 inflated deals ?

I know people didn’t like Newcastle takeover but good things came from it so far. Clubs are scared because after few years 4 clubs will be fighting for a CL position if Newcastle did the same as City. They are trying to push for new rules and put pressure on the Premier Leauge and anything applies to Newcastle will apply indirectly to City.

The horse has bolted with City.  The inflated deals they've had for 10 years now are "market rate" for them.  They have achieved what they needed to on sponsorship and there's fuck all anyone can do to place limits on them.  Getting their man in at UEFA where he can influence the new rules is just City stopping Newcastle from progressing at the same rate as they did.

But this is what it's come to. How many clubs can realistically be successful now? Liverpool have the best legitimate team in the world. There are also two sportswashes cuckooing the the top four, soon to be three cuckoos. Other than in an anomalous season, no one is realistically getting a look in at the cups, and they have no chance at the league. What's left? Europa places. That's it really, unless you see surviving relegation as a trophy in itself.

All most fanbases have left now is taunting others about failing at something they could only dream about even competing in. Before we lifted no19 we had people whose club had never won a title in their history taunting us over not winning it in over 20+ years, conveniently forgetting we had 18 of them in our trophy room.

After Kiev we had fanbases who have never even been in a European Cup Final taunting us over losing one, despite the fact we had another five in our trophy cabinet.

Sadly, for the vast majority of fanbases, schadenfreude is the only success they can now realistically experience.

Spot on, and I do think that is part of the reason there is this feeling towards the bigger clubs. Let's face it, the forming of the Premier League buggered up all but the biggest clubs. Now as you say they can only look on with envy, and that must suck.

I wonder what they will do after the new Premier League sponsorship deals rules. 12 UAE companies as sponsers instead of 6 inflated deals ?

I know people didn’t like Newcastle takeover but good things came from it so far. Clubs are scared because after few years 4 clubs will be fighting for a CL position if Newcastle did the same as City. They are trying to push for new rules and put pressure on the Premier Leauge and anything applies to Newcastle will apply indirectly to City.

Nothing will come out of it. The Premier League is corrupt, just like the British government. Unfortunately, the only way out is the genuine big clubs running the competition ...

Those Sky Sports videos of the pitch invasion / attack on Olsen and the pundits' reaction are now mysteriously private.

The Irish Independent article linked earlier has disappeared too.

Hmm... have a certain PR department been in touch?

Bad for the product, they want to celebrate a 'thrilling final day'.

Just like how punishing a club for clearly fraudulent accounts and breaking financial rules would damage their product.

The PL and Sky will brush it under the carpet.
