Topic: Man City - cheating bastards rumbled

[SK8 Red]

Like everyone else, my social media is constantly suggesting I follow some of their pages. Weirdly I get a bit of Everton also. Full on rent a fan policy in action. Both clubs have a 40,000 regular fanbase and I doubt they can grow it despite their marketing efforts.

[Walshy nMe®]

Haaland is a freak yes and incredible.

But where are all these stats being pulled from? Most goals in first 9 games, first to 15 goals etc.

Abu Dhabi just making them up

[Coolie High]

Yes, but he laughs like a drain so he must be an ok guy 

I fucking hate the media and how they are such shithouses not calling out the cheating c*nts 

What makes you think he’s not an ok guy?

[JRed]

What makes you think he’s not an ok guy?

Erm, because he is a paid ambassador for a despotic regime?

Yh? The way people make things so black and white on this forum is crazy, it’s either we’re all hypocrites or this forum is full of the most pious people to ever walk the earth.

I’ve seen Richards in real life and he is actually an ok guy, just like I’ve been around Sterling in real life and know some of the things he’s done for his community family and even former Liverpool players(!) and he is probably one of the nicest guys to play for this club although you wouldn’t think that looking from an outside view especially on this forum.

Don’t agree with Richards supporting City but then again I would also like to say many of us on here were absolutely elated when Aguero scored a last minute goal to stop United from winning the title, would be interested to go back on forum posts at that time and see how many people were upset by the fact the team ran by a despotic regime beat our biggest rivals to the title on the last day...

Guardiola yesterday: 'Haaland is an incredible weapon'.

He certainly is Pep - like all the other weapons in your charade of a club.

"Erling Haaland will be Real Madrid's main target to replace Karim Benzema.

The Norwegian striker has a release clause that can be activated in 2024."

I sure hope it's fucking true. It would be even better if he starts whining about it before this summer.

[I've been a good boy]

Makes sense on Haaland's part. Unless you're Aguero or De Bruyne, why would you ever make a small club like Manchester City your final destination?

[wampa1]

De Bruyne is an odd one.  I can only think he's after a champions league and thinks his best chance is with City.

He’s been thinking that for a few years now.

Aguero said he would not leave until they won the champions league.

[Black Bull Nova]

He's 31 now, should start slipping soon surely.


City and Haaland nailed on for the PL this year, just hope Arsenal/Spurs make them take it seriously till spring and help bugger up their CL chances. We can help on that score with a bit of form on sunday.

[Son of Spion]

Aguero said he would not leave until they won the champions league.

He's probably still there then, working in the ticket office or something.

No doubt he is still on the books as an ambassador.

Didn’t believe that but it’s true. Would have guessed 27/28.

[killer-heels]

We talk about our players being run into the ground but would love to see De Bruyne’s minutes. The guy has played through games injured for Belgium a lot and seems to be as good as ever. At some point his level will drop.

Not while Ped is brewing his magic juice.

De Bruyne is an odd one.  I can only think he's after a champions league and thinks his best chance is with City.

He was let go by Chelsea, and ended up at City via Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg, so probably feels a bit of loyalty to City (and possibly to Pep, even though he didn't sign him). Also, as brilliant as he is, he's quite injury prone so would be a gamble to spend big on him for one final contract only for him to decline quickly (which I think he will after so many miles and injuries).

Oh, and there's also the small matter of money and the 'payments' he'll no doubt get when he becomes a club ambassador when he retires. I think City's wage bill is heavily disguised in an attempt to look sustainable, and payments are probably made to players in numerous other ways which makes staying an attractive proposition. When your boss's boss is a Prince of an oil state then your earning potential is virtually limitless.

I sure hope it's fucking true. It would be even better if he starts whining about it before this summer.

It's certainly a strong possibility with that clause.

Depends whether he wants to stay at a club founded in 2008 with dirty money (and zero European titles), or join European royalty and be worshiped by 80,000 fans each week who don't need to manufacture an atmosphere or rivalry.

This certainly feels like one final push by Pep before De Bruyne declines or before FFP finally brings them down. That would make it all the more glorious if they go another 2 seasons without a CL trophy and Halaand goes to Real. I think Pep's contract would also be up in 2024 so it would be ideal timing if he fucked off too, after getting bored of buying domestic trophies. He'll probably go to PSG to buy some more in another country.

City will just throw even more obscene amounts of money at Haaland in order to keep him. Guarantee he signs a new contract well before we get to Summer 2024. His dad will likely collect another £30 million for it too.

I heard De Bruyne is a Liverpool fan or is this fake news ?

Dunno but bring him, Haaland and the man with the most slappable face in football on. Sunday cant come soon enough for me. Stick your Brightons and your Newcastles up your arse, when we're struggling for everything I want a game against bitter rivals to shake us up a bit. Yeah we might get embarrassed or tore apart, but we might not. We might show a bit of guts a bit of passion again and finally wake up. If I'm Van Dijk or Fabinho or Salah never mind worrying about what Im up against, time to show you're still the best in the game.

Also by then Newcastle will be jizzing their money all over the place.

Someone like Norwich would have been bought by then too and they'll be clapping their 6 fingered hands together cheering on Neymar or whoever their despotic state owners have bought them.

Which one - there's so many to choose from, including the manager.

And miraculously City will gleefully tell all that he took a "pay cut" to stay for the "project".

We'll then see Haaland being announced as a Ambassador months later with pictures taken of him to cut the ribbon outside a newly built torture centre.

Yeah think they'll absolutely drown him,his agent and dad with money of which maybe a quarter will be reported as his official wage.

Yeah fuck it, I've come round to this too. We might lose, we might even lose badly, but I'm going sunday and I fully intend to give them hell.

Can’t wait for them to sign Mbappe for £5m (Plus £500m in add ons if he scores more than one goal a season) on a weekly wage of £20,000 (plus £100,000 per goal, £10,000 per minute played and £10,000 for every blade of grass stepped on) all financed by BetSaudi, their new betting partner owned by Mark Hughes.

Truly is the stuff of genius.
