Both very good articles. I particularly liked this:
The strangest moment of Saturday’s FA Cup final came in the seconds after Manchester City’s sixth goal, when the camera cut from the mob of celebrating City players to Pep Guardiola, who was slumped on the bench with his head in his hands.
Pep looked less like a happy football coach watching his side make history and more like an anguished scientist whose prototype civil defence robot has just run amok at a trade show, slaughtering several bystanders.
It looked as though he understood that the very scale of the victory had begun to devalue it, that City were now in the territory of negative marginal returns, that the reaction to this turkey shoot would go beyond appreciation and congratulation, towards accusation and perhaps even condemnation.Last edited by Kenneth; 20-05-19, 09:28 AM.Trey Nyoni: countdown to stardom-2 years1year0.5 yearsComment

I liked this:
It’s time to accept that oil-funded success and mass popularity are never going to go together. It’s as though City are perched on the back of a dragon, peering down at a sullen populace, wondering incredulously why they are not loved. Shouldn’t it be obvious?Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

just think about this for a minute....
Pair any two City players together and they were more expensive than the entire Watford starting line-up.
**** me what chance do other teams have; it really does show how absolutely amazing our season has been.Comment

This is why i find the 'anyone but Liverpool' mentality so surprising, you'd think we would be the club for everyman to love, doing things the right way, no bitterness, great football, and spitting in the face of the oil cheats.

Great to see these articles being written.
Though it is easy to read it as sour grapes from us, the issue really is much bigger and I could not be more happy with our season despite it not delivering the title.
The FA Cup did highlight the problem perfectly. A great opportunity for Watford and it was just carnage. Not even close. If football doesn’t include even a chance in hell in Cup competition for another top half premiership team then the system is broken. The reaction from Pep at 6-0 was telling. For sport to be compelling it needs to be a contest.

This was City destroying competitive football. Pep knows it as well, he is lying to himself about their achievements.
If nothing is done about it, we can look forward to watching City win every trophy domestically.Modifying post.Comment

You only have to look at what happens when someone dominates motorsport too much. They put rules in place to even the field.
It's usually around the machinery but money is the only lever in football's case.
Maybe something like only two transfers per window allowed, the rest have to be academy with restrictions on under 23 transfers. That would make things far more competitive and would mean more investment in youth and grassroots football.Was muß, das muß.Comment

Social media and the echo chambers it produces in football means you’re left with the thick tribal *******s who are just never going to mature enough to look at things objectively.Originally posted by baitman View Post
Look through the BBC HYS comments and you’ll find plenty of neutral fans who praise us for doing it the right way but these are drowned out by the more active ‘supporters’ of other clubs with nothing better to do but mud sling and troll.
I think it’s just a case of the more reasonable/mature fans having better things to do with their lives between games, leaving the void to be filled by the mouth foaming inbreds trying to make their clubs more relevant than they are.Last edited by Fivex; 20-05-19, 10:56 AM.Hello mert.Comment

The anyone but Liverpool thing might be down the the fact that when we win stuff, I dont shut up about it for 12 months. Lots are the same, we as a fan base are a lot more vociferous than others. So people want that to not happen. I get it.
Its all good fun anyway, and at the end of the day. Its football.
Itll just make it sweeter when we get Number 6.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

Still waiting for Uefa to get their big bollocks on the table and ban Cheatchester £ity. I know it is wishfull thing but when they get banned. The FA should grow a set and demote them for the qualification season, as their results can affect qualification for other teamsComment
