Fucking cunt, this bloke.

The point he made, that City have spent less in the past five years than Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal*, is a statement of fact. The headline is not something he said, but written by some sub-editor at the BBC. Here is what he actually said:

“Man United should have won all the titles – all of them. And the second, Chelsea all the titles. And the third, Arsenal all the titles. They spend [more] money in the last five years than us. They should be there. They are not there. For that [same] reason Girona shouldn’t be in the Champions League and Leicester shouldn’t win the Premier League years ago. Now it’s boring? It’s not boring. It’s so difficult to be here again and we want to win it.”

*they have also spent less than Tottenham and Villa.

Notwithstanding that I don’t believe anything financial that comes out of Man City, he could have won those titles with kids out of the academy for all I care - he’d still be a cunt*.

And just so we’re clear. If he came to United and coached us to a decade of dominance - you guessed it - still a cunt*.

*doping cunt

If he came to United and coached us to a decade of dominance

He's good but not that good.

Top bantz from Spurs fans.

"Arsenal fans set off fireworks outside Manchester City's hotel at 2 a.m. before City's game against Tottenham. 😴🧨" and two videos for those avoiding Musk.

(Although the rumour is that they just sent an empty bus to the hotel and the players actually stayed in Manchester last night.)

the inhabitants of that empty bus would still most likely beat spurs

Trufax.

Pep is the ultimate Dennis Wise. Hate him when he's not yours. Love him when he is.

Been going to their "home" matches since they started playing the odd one at the Emirates a couple of seasons ago (have a seat with the forum's own Buffalo Bill this season). Would recommend.

As a Newcastle fan, I can categorically say that I hated Wise when he was ours.

A swimming coach?

Ha yes! Very true.

Yes mate.

Well in Villa last night.
John McGinn is such a good player and his interview after was great too.

I'm guessing this is one of those definitions of spending where City spunking hundreds of millions more on wages doesn't count.

Was a great match. Bit gutted that we didn't win in the end. When Carlos took it off Watkins' toes and missed from a yard out I thought it wasn't our night. Especially as that would have been his 20th for the season (all n0n-pens) plus his 13 assists.
Hoping City see off Spurs tonight and can celebrate winning the 4th place trophy.

Will be a travesty if Emery doesn't get manager of the season.

Wage bill was just below united, and had a big increase due to trophy bonuses.
United must pay big bonuses for winning a Carabao.

Tip of the iceberg. United has been catastrophically mismanaged for over a decade.

Will be a travesty if Emery doesn't get manager of the season.

Bollocks. Winning the fourth place trophy isn't enough.

If City win the league, then Guardiola deserves it (even if he is a cunt) for being the first manager to win four league titles in succession, and if Arsenal win it then Arteta deserves it for breaking the City hegemony.

Pep is the cunt’s cunt.

City's wages last year were £100m+ more than United. £200m more than Arsenal.

I sound like a broken record, but they were probably more than that as well.

And they won’t be the only big club at it.

Yeah so many chances to villa. I really like Emery although think he may be heading for heart attack territory. He's mental on the touch line.
Has John McGinn been this good all season ?
We all know manager of the season goes to Dyche for being Dyche.

A few years back Burnley got promoted as champions from the Championship after spending the full second half of the season (23 games) unbeaten.

It was decided by the powers that be to give manager of the season to Chris Hughton at Brighton who failed in the play-offs ...

Pfft. My nan could manage that man city side and win the league. And they've cheated 115 times to get there.
To take Villa from 17th when he arrived to a European semi-final and CL qualification in his first full season is by far the bigger achievement.
