You do have to applaud them, in my view.

 

Ourselves and Chelsea are 2 of the top 5 teams and they bossed us both on our home patch.

 

Yeah having an incredible amount of money is a huge advantage, but Pep is a real football manager and we need him to leave; otherwise any success we have can only be sporadic.

I think us and Chelsea have both been a bit shit this season and chucked away a lot of points. City are fucking relentless but, and I know many won't agree with me, I think most of the league is fucking shit. Most of the money clubs have is wasted, and the sides are almost all tactically inept.

 

But yeah, Pep needs to fuck off.

Cover your mouth, you bald fucker.

Most people had heard of Ruben Dias, mate. He was playing for Benfica, not Wycombe.

Only the hardcore would have heard of him though, Benfica players are hardly household names the last few years

There was more outrage over liverpool being one of almost every single club to postpone a game than there was a country who butchered a journalist because they didn't like his opinions buying a football club.

There was more outrage about us asking for one CUP tie to be postpone than any other club asking for and getting multiple LEAGUE games called off.

 

The journos like fat cunt samuel, steve mcmannaman etc dont care if the PL becomes Bundesliga or Ligue Un mark 2 with one club winning title after title after title at a canter. They just point to us winning titles consistently through the 70s and 80s and, united winning titles consistently through the late 90's to 2010's. Now, they say, it is city's turn and no doubt newcastle in a few years.

 

First and foremost, these turncoats and purveyors of mistruths know they're on the gravy train too. Start mouthing off about city and neither the tv companies nor their pundits, will get to interview the club's players, get all the behind the scenes access to the club, manager and no doubt not inconsiderable hospitality that city will throw their way.

 

The twats also forget at the time of our and even united's domination, money a club had was finite. You couldnt just go out and buy £50m players to replace your aging duds never mind just to sit on a bench.

 

If city had our CB injuries last season, they wouldnt have been looking at a Kabak or Ben Davies on loan, they'd have spent £50m, £60m, £70m on each.

 

City are in the position to do that because they 'dont have any debt' and are funded by a nation state. Cunt samuel, mcmannaman and humphries will not recognise that fact until it's too late.

 

If newcastle get it right (and Im certain they will, it's just a question of time) their wealth could blow city out of the water and end their domination. The only problem would be that a new nation state club would be dominant.

 

And it's funny (except it isnt) that newcastle fans have mysteriously gone AWOL on the question of reining in club spending and 'giving the game back to fans' etc.

Fuck off Guardiola. Great manager but an insufferable twat.

This. Any other manger in charge of them and we’d be above these. 
 

He’s on a different level to everyone now.

He's not on a different level to Klopp.  He's a great coach though with the ultimate loaded dice.

By that logic, only the hardcore would have heard of Naby Keita as well. It's pretty irrelevant.

I think klopp with his funds would be even better. City get to train every single day with two world class first 11s, training matches are probably harder for their players than most the sides they face in the league. We can barely fill a bench.

He wouldn’t tolerate half the shite performances Klopp does

North London derby off. How helpful for Arsenal... 

Funny how they were training at the Emirates stadium today as well despite asking for the postponement!

You reckon? He has 2 squads to choose from so has many more options than Klopp.

Well yeah. If he wasn’t linked with us I doubt there’d be many reds who’d ever had heard of him

Haven’t we got a bigger squad than them? I’m sure I seen this put up somewhere

[Scott_M]

At least we’ll get to laugh at The Ev dropping points at Norwich shortly.

Yeah.

 

It turns out that you don't do more with less. You do less with less. Also turns out that having - 2m net spend is no way to compete at the top of the league with an oil state.

 

Who knew, eh?

That Pep signs quality players and will always get hit for a tax on the buying price 

[Red74]

We spent over £100m on Kieta, Ox and Thiago and never see them on the pitch

You realise he's got limitless funding? He could afford to spunk £100m on Grealish and have the luxury of not being under pressure to have him perform?

[Torvald Utne]

Big Sam would have city top of the league too

Dont think we've done too badly, results wise. Performance wise the midfield has collapsed for reasons we all said it would, but I'd call Brentford a it happens, Brighton shit, west ham he was due and Leicester a weird covid induced freak occurrence. We've won a lot of games so far and smacked everyone who came to get it everywhere. It's just not enough.

[Jairzinho]

It does probably mean that he needs to be more ruthless, not less, though.

I suppose. I think my annoyance is more with Klopp's misplaced, or unwarranted, loyalty rather than any particular games.

 

We know we can't compete with City's money. However, what the fuck are we doing paying Chamberlain and Keita a quarter of a million quid a week to do nothing? It just feels like we're pretending there isn't an issue and, eventually, it'll lead to a much bigger one than it needed to be. Half the squad will need to be fucked off.
