It's a shame to see Sterling being so critical. Pep gave him many a chance to nail down a position and in the last two seasons he didn't deliver. Also started the CL final when totally out of form and didn't show up.
🗣️ "It's a blessing in disguise."
Raheem Sterling says Chelsea have restored his happiness for football after he was left fuming by how his Manchester City career ended 🔵
It really annoys me more and more that the Milner penalty wasn't given at Anfield. The red card for him at Anfield and Thiago at the Eithad. Blatant. Not given.
He didn't. But let's compare on the basis he actually did.
Erling Haaland - £250m. Goals 51, cost per goal = £4.8m
Darwin "Chaos" Nunez - £85m. Goals 15, cost per goal = £5.6m
You guys got absolutely scammed 😭
This is why after games like Chelsea I find it hard to criticise these boys. They have credit in the bank for the next 115 years after what they did last season.
If City's English players aren't that good, does that make Guardiola an even better coach if he can win three PLs with them? It's hard to keep up which narrative we're on.
I'll say one thing. The character of the
#lads
to come back from this and end the season with a domestic treble is one of the best sporting achievements we'll ever see. Our boys had nerves of steel.
We're at the 2018 Liverpool stage where everything their players do is incomparable and all their players are the best in the world in their positions.
James Trafford is 20 years old, never played a senior game for Manchester City & has spent the last two years in League One.
So why are Burnley committing up to £19m to make him their No. 1 goalkeeper back in the Premier League?

Final thing about Koulibaly's age, he's literally 8 days older than KDB (29 today). Would people turn down a move for De Bruyne today due to his age? Would they fuck.
▪️ The Bundesliga tax might be real
▪️ A mismatch in playing styles
▪️ Can he be a team player?
For all the justified hype around Erling Haaland, there are just as many reasons to believe him signing for

doesn’t make sense at all.

There is still an amazing irony of Sky acting like they're the saviours of the beautiful game. They charge a household £40 a month and make northern fans travel down to Southampton on Friday night. They're as equally shit as football owners.
Anthony Taylor (Kompany no red card) and Paul Tierney on VAR (Kane no red card) for Liverpool vs City.
“Honestly, I have no problem with any referees, only you. You don't give us this penalty - you have never played football” Klopp to Tierney
Watched City lift the Premier League trophy with my old man yesterday. If you think I'm not going to enjoy it because City allegedly paid Mancini through a different channel thirteen years ago you're absolutely mental.
There's a lot of flapping about transfers after Peps comments today, but always worth noting the guys in suits at Manchester City always make the best decisions and whoever they bring in will be the best fit for Manchester City.

The desperation in the media for Pep to leave is so bizarre. City have literally brought one of the best managers in the history of football to these shores and instead of celebrating him the media want him to go. It's plain weird.
The guys just won back to back PL titles, has an injury ravaged squad and still has three competitions to play for. Why on earth would he he under pressure?

United have the two most expensive British transfers, a wage bill of over £260m but they're so obsessed with what Peps spent. City are streets ahead because they've got a proactive coach who's improved players and doesn't play prehistoric football.
Gonna be class when we're drawing 0-0 at home with Luton next season with Alvarez, Grealish, Haaland, Sterling and Bernardo on the bunch yet Pep refuses to make a sub.
Journalists have literally doxxed some City fans on this platform. Throughout the entire investigation all we asked was for fair and balanced reporting. None of them were even willing to accept that UEFA might be wrong.
One thing I've learnt about City is not to doubt their transfers. If its not Haaland it'll be someone of top quality. Not many wanted Dias, and that's turned out alright.
This is funny because in the last few years alone United have signed Sanchez, Fred, Pogba and Ronaldo purely to stop City strengthening rather than desperate need.
It was evident last season but Arteta and Arsenal are way too emotional as a club. To win titles you have to be cold and not have these meltdowns. They've learned nothing.
🚨 Arteta, furious: “The result should not be what it is! It’s a disgrace”, told BBC.
“It’s embarrassing what happened”.
“How this goal stands, in the Premier League… this league we say is the best in the world. I have been 20 years in this country and now I feel ashamed”.
The collective meltdown from the media and rival supporters when City win a game is something else. For a club that nobody cares about we're the talk of the country.
You'll never convince me that winning the CL is better than winning the PL. You can be rubbish in cup competitions and absolutely scam results. You can't do that over 38 games.
This video gets me every time man. Jackson is such a weirdo. Can you imagine any other club where the media ask these sorts of questions ahead of a CL quarter final?
Genuinely get bored of people saying Laporte should have had two yellows. If he gets booked for the first one, the game changes & that second event never even happens. He clearly would have played differently from that moment onwards, thus the game would have been different too.
Southgate has been England manager for six years. There's been little progress in terms of how we play. Zero attacking patterns. It's another wasted generation
De Gea didn't save a shot
Young can't defend
Romero couldn't stay fit
Smalling couldn't make the squad
Fred can't get a game
Matic got bossed by Behrami
Mata wasn't good enough to make the squad
Sanchez couldn't get there
Easy this lark
Obviously no idea what he's like in the dressing room, but feel it's a massive shame with Laporte. The guy played with one knee last year to get us over the line and win the title.
In defence,
#ManCity
are most likely to look for a centre-back this summer, but will first have to sell with Aymeric Laporte a candidate. Should the Spaniard leave, the first name Pep Guardiola wants to look at is RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol.

What's the point of supporting a state owned vehicle for geopolitical sportswashing if you can't get excited about them spending one hundred million pounds on one player?
He's not getting the numbers, but Grealish has slotted in perfectly so far. Built up a great relationship with Cancelo and Bernardo. The goals will flow soon.
Mark Odgen is quickly writing an article for ESPN with the headline "If City don't finish with over 100 points they might struggle for a top four finish next season."
We're so far through the looking glass in terms of City coverage. The charges are real, but until they're proven they're just charges. What you're seeing at the moment is a concerted effort to diminish one of the greatest sides we've seen.
City releasing their annual reports is always a top tier day on X. Everyone suddenly becomes a finance expert and the "Nobody cares about City" brigade prove that they do really care.
