Said to the eldest at half time that the game had 1-0 to Man City written all over it. Inter looked the better side and had the better chances but there was just that feeling Man City would nick a goal.
That’s a shame. Inter had the 2 best chances of the game and managed to miss them both. Lukaku the most expensive player transferred in football history has missed an essentially an open goal from 4 yards. Gonna be having nightmares about that. Now to switch off all football chat for 6 weeks while the city love in dominates
Gutted that city won and that sh1t Guardiola is basking in the cheating world he and his club line in.
Is that a serious question? How many shell companies do you have to set up to invest in your team before it becomes a joke? They are destroying football with their money and they are champions of nothing in reality
To name 3. Prob only 2 clubs that can afford the fee / wages / signing on fees that’s before you even take into account the extra payments made to them via offshore accounts Haaland KDB Grealish
Current Man City squad for this season Walker £50m Dias £61.6m Phillips £45m Stones £47.5m Ake £41m Gundogan £20m Haaland £51.2m Grealish £100m Laporte £57m Rodri £62.6m De Bruyne £55m Ortega 0 Alvarez £14m Silva £60m Gomez £13m Akanji £15m Mahrez £60m Ederson £35m Perrone £8m Carson 0 Foden 0 Palmer 0 Lewis 0 Cancelo (played 1st half of seaon) £60m value as it included Danilo Total £855.9m Of course that doesn't take into account all the players that have come before that City spent big on and then let go for peanuts or nothing. As their owners can afford to take the risk of losing money if a player doesn't work out, I mean how many other clubs could have let £100m of Grealish have a bad first season where he largely sat on the bench or even absorbed £45m Phillips be injured all season? Also as mentioned the wages being paid and the wages that are going undeclared via 'consultancy' fees and other nefarious means. The money paid to agents and family to ensure City get first dibs and the like. It is very naive to just equated City's financial dominance to just transfer fees.
why are you lot indulging Diego bait again. he's wandered in knowing city winning the cl would be a trigger and dropped a line.
Instead of looking at City, fans of other clubs like United and Liverpool can only look at their own clubs. City aren't going anywhere but they're not unbeatable, no team ever is, so it's up to others to raise their bar to meet and overcome the challenge. I personally think the difference is the manager. It's the same for all clubs that dominate whether it was Livpl of the 70's and 80's or United of the 90's and 00's. Once Pep leaves it'll probably be all change again.
I strongly suspect you Mancs are merely preparing for Qatari ownership where state doping and payments under the table will be your norm so all fine all of a sudden.
Nope. I think my thought process comes from Fergie's approach when City won that first PL and he realised he had to raise his game, got in RVP and we went again. That's all you can do. As for the Qatari group I honestly don't give a **** anymore. I've said countless times I think it's all a sham from the Glazers, and those leeching ****s are just testing the market and stroking their asset balance sheet. I've had enough of it.
if you've not noticed the rampant cheating and massive charges that are only the tip of the iceberg fire away. but your club dies the day its sold to Qatar. newcastle have just been allowed announce a new shirt sponsor that's not a commercial deal at all, yet more doping being actively allowed. where did Diego message you to "drop on by" lol
I don't agree with Diego's views on City's finances or how they acquired their success. On a general point, anyone who thinks that City's rise to football dominance is in any way comparable to the way United (or Liverpool for the matter) have built their club's stature is quite clearly fcking clueless...or still full of butthurt over periods when we were dominant.
