UEFA Champions League 2022-23

[SlotBadger]

I can’t help but really like Grealish. Love his interviews.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Incredible to think we were one game handball away. Or perhaps surreal is a better word …

 

[yawa]

I

You think they don't matter to the players then look at Grealish right now. He can't even speak.

I agree. Can’t really blame the players for the way the club is funded.

 

[SixtyFour]

He’s unreal, seeing as a CM, some player

And the kicker is, Pep only fetched up that tactic after the Rico Lewis in midfield thing finally fell apart when we beat them at new WHL.

 

[skiba]

Say this all you want but if spurs had gotten the same success with the same methods you wouldn't give a rat's ass.

Football has become a money game, and it's always going to be this way.

Of course, but it wouldn’t go down as some monumental history altering achievement that the broadcasters seem to be peddling

 

[Gassin's finest]

You expect this weedy voice, but then it's this really deep Brum...

 

[carmeldevil]

Here comes the media slobbering all over City’s “treble”.

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

I genuinely still prefer Levy over a sportswashing enterprise, because I really don't know how PSG, Newcastle and City fans can stomach it.

I think we all do but if the roles were reversed we wouldn't be supporting a different team, and we wouldn't be complaining about it either.

Most fans just want to see their team win, the journey there becomes irrelevant no matter how tainted it might be.

This sort of success is going to become more and more common in football.

 

[Oscar22]

I dont blame the City players, or even their fans for being happy about it, like people have said we’d love to win this stuff.

But these commentators, fucking hell guys can you hear yourselves?

Maybe.

but it’s not a great story or a fairytale.

They are a great football team. Built on billions spent, to aid their sportswashing effort, and FFP breaches. They are not a great story.

 

[Romulus]

fair play to inter though, they gave it a good go.

id be proud if my team fought like that

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

Honestly thought I was watching a game of thrones narration those last few minutes.

 

[RuskyM]

I can’t help but really like Grealish. Love his interviews.

He's just so earnest. I find him incredibly endearing.

 

[Timberwolf]

Perhaps he meant the greatest story in their club history?

Yeah I can only assume that's what he meant. Makes zero sense otherwise.

Was still perhaps the greatest deluge of faux-emotional bollocks I've ever heard come out of a commentators mouth though.. the fucking Noel Gallagher stuff... ugh.

Makes even Matterface look good in comparison and that's really saying something

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

It's definitely a great story, if you put the controversies aside.

For the everyday common football fan, their journey since being taken over in 2009 has been incredible, even more so since Pep joined.

I do agree with your sentiment though, and the commentary was waaaay over the top.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

A success for sports washing and FFP rule breaking.

Fairytale.

Fairytale is Danny Boy dreams that one day they will actually enforce FFP, his new ‘game changer’ so he can reap the profits from his other ‘game changer’ without any fans complaining. In the meantime we’ll just have to wait until Newcastle are lifting the CL, then maybe Spam after that, then maybe Villa, then…

I genuinely don't know if I would. There's no good billionaires but when you *know* the only reason your club has the means to win is to distract from mass human rights violations...that's a hard thing to ignore.

that’s how sportswashing works.

 

[hutchiniho]

Would love to see us win a trophy!
Can’t even imagine how I would have felt had we won this competition.

 

[Cochise]

I hate City and everyone associated with them. I used to love Pep and the things he did with Bayern and Barcelona, but I lost a lot if not all of my regard for him when he went there. To my mind the threat to the modern game state owned clubs pose is massive and the damage they have done to the game is likely already irreperable. Anyone who gets in bed with them is part of the problem.

State owned clubs are a cancer on the game.
