Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

[EverTheOptimist]

The Incel comment is unnecessary, but so too is the racism shown towards people from the Middle East by you.

Racism, what a laughable comment, calling out a that Abu Dhabi is a despotic anti democratic human right abuser is being racist, you can get a moderator to clarify that by checking out my post history, to find anything racist against Arabs or anything islamophobic.

My eldest daughter from a previous relationship, her Mother is American and a Maronite Christian with a Lebanese mother and Syrian Father.

I'm also not white, my heritage is African.

Try again Catcher.

It doesn’t take a psychologist to see you have issues does it? How many people have called you out on here?

Lots of people have called him out mate. He is probably the biggest fool on here, and pretty much everyone is will be astounded by the racist nonsense hes throwing at your owners.

I have no major love for City, but Evertonians can at least be objective in seing it is a very well run football club who have enjoyed enormous success recently and are now probably the biggest club in the country. Good luck to them.

When you resort to "my neighbour was black" type of argument its normally a good sign you are racist.

The racism is your assumption that just because someone is brown, they are to be held accountable for all the crimes of the government of the country they are from. It's a racist framing, and a racist double standard that you wouldnt apply to white people.

For example, do you hold John Henry, or Joel Glazier responsible for the crimes of the KKK or Donald Trump? Of course you dont, and nor should you. But that's the key difference.

I mean, take a break and actually read back what you are saying. "Calling out that Abu Dhabi is a despotic anti democratic human rights abuser". It doesnt even make basic grammatical sense. You are so filled with hatred and prejudice, you cant even write coherently. Seriously, get a grip.

Back in the days of Mancini/Pellegrini, they had a centre half called Savic, who was a bag of nerves and whenever he played, city would slip up (he actually went on to have a decent career).
Whenever that Mendy plays Man City are atrocious. Pound for pound, he has to be one of the worst premier league signings of all time, he’s absolutely useless.
Not sure what Guardiola’s tactics are there… but Ake, Mendy in the same lineup usually equals disaster.

Mind boggles for why they’re not going for Haaland, but they definitely need at least Kane.

Is that the same issues David Conn, Miguel Delaney, Nick Harris and the investigative Journalists at Die Speigel have?

Strange you say i have issues but you are the one posting about sex and shagging on a football forum, never seen that on Twitter or Reddit either, But you City fans are quite a quirky bunch, you have a conspiracy theorist fringe that everyone is out to get you, it's like you are the Qanon of football fanbases. From what i've read on Bluemoon and Twitter i see a fanbase who hate the fact you do not get your dues or respect from the outer football world, they seems to be an apathy when it comes to your club, it's like a collective shrug of the shoulders when you win a trophy because it's expected when you are backed by a Oil state funding you. Anyone mentions the extortionate spending and it's like a dagger to the heart, you want to be lauded for what you do on the pitch, not how those players ended up on the pitch in your strip.

You crave the adulation and fanfare the 2 clubs in red get in the North West, they can do no wrong in your eyes and you want that, i also know deep down you know if Abu Dhabi had bought another club, they would have won the trophies you have won the last 10 years and that you would still be the mocked loveable loser laughing stick yo-yo club going to and fro from the championship and PL with tacky umbro kits and a local travel firm shirt sponsor paying you absolute peanuts.

?????

Again, what nonsense is this? Aside from the racist assertion that brown people must be tbe state government (they cant be independent from that) what do you think about owners from America, and the Americans human rights abuses? Or do they not exist to you because it is a government of mainly white people?

I'd also add, City have spent a lot less than Liverpool and United, and won an awful lot more over recent years. So they are probably just enjoying being the biggest and most successful club in the country over recent times.

As you say though, the truth hurts sometimes.

Don’t be a silly sausage, plus there’s no racism in any of his posts. It’s a fact that the government of the UAE have questionable human rights records. If it’s racist to point that out then I guess we need to get on the telephone to the likes of Amnesty International and tell them not to be racist.

I can only deduce that you’re drunk because you’re chatting nonsense, which is fair enough really because it’s well gone 11pm on a Sunday. Doesn’t quite explain your cuckoldery for Citeh but if that’s your bag then good luck with it.

Also to add that PSG’s owners are absolutely the same.

Where did he say you were white? He said you were being racist. You’re not very bright are you?

This is an odd one for me. The idea that we’re still talking about what City ‘need’ given their expenditure and squad depth.

Happened after the CL final - pundits saying what City still need to win it.

We’ve become seeped in the lure of endless transfers where all problems are solved with a signature. If City still need players at this point then that’s just professional negligence and poor squad curation.

 

[Mat70s]

Again, this is really just anti-Arab racism here.

What on earth is "financial doping" as well? I asked the United fan that here recently and he couldn't answer. Does it just mean "brown people I dont like spending money"?

Financial doping was a term first coined - as far as I recall - by Wenger to describe Abramovic’s spending at Chelsea. It can be broadly defined as operating without traditional financial constraints, buying without consideration of a balance sheet and spending in a manner that others would find wholly unsustainable and possibly catastrophic.

While Chelsea’s model eventually became more self-sustainable, it didn’t set out like that. Wenger - amongst others - took exception to this and called it out.

City’s model certainly began in a similar fashion as they looked to advance their commercial revenues to help balance the huge outgoings on talent. Unlike Chelsea, there are significant question marks around the nature of sponsors and curious revenue streams that are used to justify their outgoings.

In July, the Court of Appeal blocked City’s attempt to prevent details of the PL’s investigation into allegations of financial irregularities becoming public. I believe the investigation is in progress as we speak.

I guess ‘financial doping’ is an unhelpful, ambiguous term in the context of City as the issues are more complex than simply buying a load of good players. Comparisons with Chelsea are apples and oranges at this stage.

Well they do. I'm not disagreeing with you, and it's totally bizarre that they have to spend, but they don't have a centre forward.

They did it without one last year, but missed out on a CL, because ultimately, they were toothless upfront.

They needed a CF more than they needed Grealish, but here we are.

I cant believe Guardiola has fallen for the mirage that is Grealish. Only a Villa fan or myopic England fan can see the talent in him.

Haaland should have been secured by City the very first day of the transfer window.

This thread kills me every time it pops up

8 Trophies (10 if you include charity shield) in 5 years.

Manchester City

• Premier League: 2017–18, 2018–19, 2020–21
• FA Cup: 2018–19
• EFL Cup: 2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20, 2020–21
• FA Community Shield: 2018, 2019
• UEFA Champions League runner-up: 2020–21

 

[bluelife]

The Grealish signing is the beginning of the end of City's dominance for now. The player isn't worth anywhere near £100m and only fits in to certain systems - certainly not Manchester City's. Going above and beyond the usual £30-£50m City player purchase range also puts a target on his back from day one... and completely changes the dynamic of a steady team in doing so.

Can’t really disagree.
