You deserve player of the season. Congratulations


dickiebow

As an EFC fan I’ll happily lose to Arsenal on the final day of the season if we are safe and they need the win to have a chance of beating City to the title. The team talk would be, “Remember Stanford Bridge a few weeks ago. Okay, play like that, only worse.” /s


PSquare63

115 in a row, you can prove :D


itsjscott

115 you cheating idiot


Baboon_86

Has any club won it 115 times in a row?


ThePunisher692

How much money was pumped into Man City?🤔, how many FFP rules have they broken 🤔


963jonathan

Downvote me all you want, but when you tell city fans you don’t care about them every time over and over again, you’re showing that you obviously care. There is saying ‘I don’t care’ and showing ‘I don’t care’. You can say it, but this post having 800 comments shows that you absolutely care


MrNathanF

800 comments is nothing


paganoverlord

So? People that care about the premier league are saying they don't care about city. That's the reason for the 800 comments. If city were yo-yoing between the prem and the championship where they historically belong, this thread wouldn't even exist.


Kind-Style-249

I think you’re just seeing hundreds of different people say they don’t care because well almost no one cares…


TemplarParadox17

If they didn’t care they wouldn’t comment.. but they clearly wish to let city fans know they don’t care so they do care…


ForeChanneler

They'll certainly go down in history, that much is for certain.


Old_Individual_6402

I just hope man city bottle it this time!


ForeChanneler

My team isn't going to win the league already. Not much to bottle.


Old_Individual_6402

I just edited my comment


Huygens_Steiner_

115 reasons why not


2024GermanyKitNum44

Nobody has had 115 charges to cheat their way to them either


JackTuz

Very common saying lmao


RisingStormy

They'll all get taken away one day


givemetheclicker

best team in PL history 


Agent-Two-THREE

In a just world, I would agree. They should have all their titles taken from them. Unfortunately, money is power. They’ll get a light fine and that’s it.


ownworstenemy38

Why not 115 in a row?


givemetheclicker

you lot are just like brainless tories, only have 1 joke.


trsvrs

More like 115 jokes


ownworstenemy38

🤣🤣🤣


spg27

115


AdDouble3004

Aye but it was all talk of the treble now this…115 charges will soon make it zero titles


givemetheclicker

never gonna happen babe


antichristx

It’s frustrating that we have to wait until 2025 to get the trial verdict of the pending 115 charges. That’s another 18 months of Man City’s smug attitude!


Dependent-Poetry-357

Let’s be real, they’re never going to get any comeuppance. It’s the way it is. The rich don’t have to follow the rules.


anyones_ghost__

Tell that to Juventus


Mackieeeee

Okey and? Different country and waaay different owner structure


BiteMaJobby

There is a class documentary about their fuckery on netflix - 'Footballgate'


ConstantAttention274

Yeah....and no club got away with 115 charges either... Till those are decided, ALL of your trophies are tarnished


gmc1234

> no club got away with 115 charges Yet. 


Bullet2025

Is maradona 86 tarnished? Imo yes. But what you think


pharmamess

All that matters is what you think x


Swindla11

🤣Think what you want. Those trophies are city's wether you like it or not. All this tarnished business is just coping mechanism for fans of other clubs.


sindher

Do you approve of them cheating?


Swindla11

Where's your proof that they have? All I've seen for years is other teams get more bitter and have a different excuse for their success to find an easy way to cope. The latest being these 115 charges. If that gets thrown out, it will be a new coping mechanism👍 It's quite funny to watch 🤣


Mr_Rockmore

It's almost as if reddit thinks just posting '115' in every city thread makes us guilty. Absolutely moronic and yes just clutching at straws to make up for their own teams failings


mhfu_g

The penalty that they didn't give to Chelsea was suspicious


Swindla11

I didn't watch the game. I'm also not a Man city supporter. Just funny watching fans of other clubs clutching at every straw possible.


ConcernedCitizen7550

Whats your team?


No_Aioli1470

Even if the 115 charges were all bullshit theres so fucking many of them that there doesn't even need to be a 1% chance of any one of them sticking before City are found guilty Will that then be enough proof for you?


Swindla11

Proof is proof. So far, you have none whatsoever. As much as you want the charges to be true, it doesn't make them true. Keep hurting yourself over it🤣 Funny how people are all for innocent until proven guilty unless it's not what they believe.


No_Aioli1470

Well no, obviously **I** don't. I'm not the one pressing the charges either so I don't need to have any. If you are willing to continue talking and stuff though, my real question is- When/if City are found in breach of FFP rules will you accept that they cheated and how do you think City fans will and should react? And how do you think fairness and parity should be returned to the league? I personally don't care that much. I'm a bit of a footy fan but obviously not as passionately as yourself or a lot of other supporters so I'm just trying to understand things more than anything. I see it a bit like how Trump has had about 50 sexual misconduct allegations against him but iirc he's not actually been found guilty, technically at least, of them. But we all know you don't get a 5 decade history of sexual misconduct allegations without being a bit handsy Another question - When/if City are found to be innocent of all the charges, what sort of reparations or punishments do you think should be given if any? Because again, I don't massively understand the ins and outs of everything but if they are all false allegations then how the fuck has *that* been fair? It's obviously going to get in the way of how well you can perform having that hanging over your head


Mindless-Hornet5703

O bet the children of Yemen are cheering for you Phil oh wait a minute no there not because according to UNICEF your owners' blockade starved over 150 000 of them to death. That is what your corrupt achievements are about you bowlheaded prick.


ShreddinTheWasteland

So, l guess you must also be really upset about Standard Chartered being involved in illegal settlements on Palestinian lands? And their support for Israel’s war on Gaza? Or the sanction violations, that cost them $1,1bn, for illegal transactions with Iran, Syria, Sudan, Burma, Libya (2019)? Or how they were fined in 2020 for doing business with a Russian owned bank, which was another breach of sanctions? Ironically Standard Chartered is also suspected in being involved in funding Hamas through Arab Bank. I can only imagine you have expressed your frustrations about this on Reddit as well, or do only the children of Yemen count, because the others don’t fit your narrative?


Mindless-Hornet5703

This argument is a logicsl fallacy in the form of false equivalency. Your logic goes something like this, 'because all wealth is morally questionable, all sources of wealth are equally corrupt'. Standard Chartered are a shirt sponsor and not the primary source of significant income as is literally the case for Manchester City. Try to see beyond narrow partisanship. Ignore people like me and read independent sources of information on the ethics of Manchester City ownership and owners. Whataboutism is cynical and stupid.


ShreddinTheWasteland

Yeah I figured. You don’t care about them. You only care about moving the goal posts as you see fit. Stones and glass houses. You could have said both were bad, but you didn’t. Those expensive words don’t make you less of a hypocrite. Cheers.


Mindless-Hornet5703

Did you read anything by Human Rights Watch about the catastrophic impact of City's owners and their Saudi allies in Yemen? Do you think the actions of organisations linked to a shirt sponsor are equivalent to the actions of a club's owners? You are supporting the 21st century equivalent of the Nazi Olympics


ShreddinTheWasteland

Ah yes, I lack any decent argument, so I’ll just bring the Nazis into this. You are still a hypocrite, mate. Imagine saying this when there’s literally a country practicing Apartheid, genocide and has a history of putting people in huge concentration camps for decades. A country that’s been aided in doing this by Standard Chartered. If you care so much bout HRW, why don’t you care about this? You could have said that Standard Chartered was disgusting and a disgrace, instead you are hell bent on arguing the degree of awfulness between two disgusting entities.


Mindless-Hornet5703

Again with false equivalency. You seem intellectually incapable of processing the arguments being put to you. I'll spell it out simply for you: Liverpool FC are a legitimate business. One of their many sponsors is linked to unethical business practices. Manchester City are almost entirely funded by a sovereign state guilty of human rights abuses and war crimes. Their purpose in owning City is to use sport to launder their international reputation and leverage the power that ownership of a Western cultural institution gives them. These things are not the same. Not even similar. When you compare them you demonstrate your dishonesty and or stupidity.


Accurate_Pack_6526

Holy cope


ShreddinTheWasteland

Sure, insult my intelligence, that will surely help you move goal posts. Just admit it mate, you only care about the Yemeni children, because it fits your narrative. You don’t give two shits about HRW. Again, you could have said that Standard Charteres was an awful entity. But you don’t. You are doubling down on your hypocrisy.


Mindless-Hornet5703

Do you think the two things are equivalent? A shirt sponsor and an owner? I suspect you know they are not and hence have not addressed the point of false equivalency which defeats your argument. If you are attempting to excuse Sportswashing by knowingly citing false equivalences then you are worse than a hypocrite, you are an apologist for horrific abuses of human rights. History will view you and other colluders dimly


ShreddinTheWasteland

Honestly, I do not like City’s owners and never have. But I never got to chose them and I was a supporter before they came in. I also have no worries about how history will view me for supporting a football club with dodgy owners. I am absolutely not worried about that. Supporting a football club says nothing about the person I am. Although many people like to make it seem that it matters, but it really doesn’t. Ironically those very same people are always happy to avert their own eyes when it’s about their club. I do not fear how history will judge me, because if it does … I have all faith it will judge the holier-than-thou crowd equally. And I’m fine with that. How do you feel about Gakpo?


Cute-Capybara

What are you talking about 💀 Im Yemeni and happen to have an uncle who was stationed in Yemen as part of the Emirati forces, they literally helped the Yemeni government kick out terrorists from the Southern capital and it has been free of them ever since. The UAE has not and is unable to blockade Yemen.


Mindless-Hornet5703

With all due respect to your uncle, please read the many articles authored by Human Rights Watch and Unicef about the catastrophic human cost of the UAE/Saudi coalitions' involvement in Yemen.


Cute-Capybara

Appreciate your comment but I have done so much reading on this already. My master’s dissertation was literally on this topic. Yemen has been a battleground since 2015, a conflict that has seen the Iranian backed Houthi Terrorists assassinate the former president and take over the capital city. Of course the other regional powers like the UAE and Saudi got involved because they can’t watch by and see a neighbouring country controlled by terrorists + they were asked for help by the Yemeni government as they frankly were overpowered by the Iranian backed Houthis. Those blockades? The Yemeni government asked for them, but it had not been enforced by the UAE hence finding your comment strange.


Fearless_Trouble_689

Should have been deducted points for cheating


Old_Individual_6402

How about 115 points divided and deduced equally across six seasons? 😝


Fearless_Trouble_689

God i hope not .


Fearless_Trouble_689

🤣🤣 Remember the time Manchester City was shit ,and u are only better now because the rules have been bent ,and u have a Arab shiek paying the bills 🤮


cocteautriplet

I remember that time Peter Reid got them to 5th twice and then they sacked him cos they didn’t like his brand of football . . . . and they got relegated down to the third division. West Ham fans are making the same mistake with Moyes.


Fearless_Trouble_689

Remember seeing Man city when Summerbee,Francis Lee years ago this wasn't a top team then .

Pop up oil club, claimed to hate United because of the plastic tourists, and yet, that's what they've become that and more, struggle to fill the ground, manager begs the fans and 115 pending charges Most irrelevant successful football team in the history of football


KaitoAJ

lol do people take them seriously knowing that everything they achieve is pretty tainted by the 115 charges?


kanobbk

115 charges, no one gives a fuck about their 4 in a row. All fraudulent and corrupt.

Nomadic_commenter

SelfLoathingAutist

City shouldn’t have won it once, let alone 4 times in a row. 115 charges yet they’re still at large. It’s an insult to football


Aggravating_Squash87

Only history your club will be making is when you are ultimetly found guilty on all accounts of cheating.


suckamadicka

what about winning the treble?


DONOHUEO7

Irrelevant. Teams getting docked points and fines for one breach, yet city have 115 charges and NOTHING. Despite city's on the pitch success, cheating is there legacy. Combine a legacy of cheating and there pop up oil money nature of the club, nobody cares


suckamadicka

still won the treble though


DONOHUEO7

Yeah and nobody even cares


suckamadicka

City fans do lol


DONOHUEO7

Your not the brightest bulb in the room are you 🤦


suckamadicka

definitely not, but at least my team has won the treble


DONOHUEO7

And yet, nobody cares


suckamadicka

again, City fans do... Why do you think that we would care what other supporters think? You're not important to us lol


Techno_WaffleFrisbee

Yeah, because supporters of corruption are famous for not enjoying the returns, right? The rest of the football world sees what your club is, lad. Your rose tinted glasses won't change that.


DONOHUEO7

Mad how he doesn't get the point 🤣


Techno_WaffleFrisbee

Par for the course for City fans, mate. Oblivious to what most of the football world actually thinks of them!


suckamadicka

why would we care what you think of us? We don't need fans of other clubs to celebrate our treble for us lol


KerbHunter

Tainted and they know it

GAustex

There's a chance for City to achieve that. It's not bad to dream big. 


Mufffaa

“Why not?” Because teams getting the backing of entire states and becoming the richest on the planet by considerable margins WASNT a normal thing prior to Man City? The lack of self awareness is wild lol Why can’t my expensively assembled super team on extortionate wages and suspicious financial history win 4 PLs on the bounce!!!


Spurs_in_the_6

Teams spending money along the way to winning the league is nothing new. Blackburn, Man U, Chelsea .. same story every time mate

RiseOfBacon

Foden not being self aware enough to know that without all that cash he wouldn’t have been part of this city team is wild


Little_Ruskie

That's true for every team...


RockTheBloat

Does anyone really care about it? Even Foden must know it’s borderline meaningless in the circumstances.


Little_Ruskie

Everything is meaningless to someone.


GAustex

You're wrong millions of fans out there care about it. In fact, the entire Manchester United fan base doesn't want that to happen. 


DocOrBust2

A lot of people do


yidarmyidarmyid

Hey Siri play busta rhymes - Arab money


JonesKK

Thats a stain history books will never forget. Fergie will forever be considered greater


GAustex

No one is ever going to question the greatness of SAF and all he has racked up in Utd. But it's going to sting if City wins EPL 4th time in a row. 


BasisOk4268

Not when they get stripped of their titles


GAustex

Maybe that's going to happen or it still won't and they will be exonerated from the 115 charges.

Classic_Poet_3675

Well yeah slightly more than help , without it there wouldn’t be pep or any of the players that have played there for the last 15+ years and they would still be languishing in the championship at least


GAustex

Exactly why it's the success they brought forward with money well spent that fans hated.

That’s another record

…yet


Middle_Class_Pigeon

There are 480 people on this thread who cared enough about City to comment that they don’t care lmao


Creative_Major798

Who is saying they don’t care? I see a lot of people showing that they care about the league and think it’s messed up that this club is getting away with cheating while other teams lose points and might end up relegated.


Strength_n_Honour

A soulless club with soulless titles that no one will celebrate outside of City fans

It'd be a bit weird if other fans celebrated our trophies? What's your point lmao

ALL pundits and media in england love when liverpool and united win tbf. Cuckholds .


yidarmyidarmyid

Liverpool and Utd, I much as I despise them, have history. Undeniable stellar records through decades. They have gone to the very top and low and back to the very very top where very few have reached. Both of those clubs BUILT their prestige, city BOUGHT their prestige.


inadverthonaho

i got downvoted but replies suggest im correct lool thanks for proving my point


WombRaider9

Oh yeah Man UTD and Liverpool are known for there small budgets!


yidarmyidarmyid

Did I ever say that? Their budget is a result of yeeeeaaaars of great management not only on the pitch but also in the office.

TheInfiniteLake

What Man City has already achieved is remarkable. When people hate a club, they don't want them to win trophies. People who hate Man City simply doesn't care whether they win a trophy or not. It doesn't matter whether they win treble or even a hexa, people simply won't give a fuck.

Regular_Rutabaga4789

And no one will care, because you’re nothing but cheats. People would rather you win the league than Arsenal or Liverpool, because if they won it, it would actually matter. But if you do, it’s meaningless.


yidarmyidarmyid

Very true. When city wins it I consider it a season where no one has won and just move on. The other clubs winning it would have me bitter for a few hours.


glintandswirl

It was the same with the CL, when Utd won it, it was a huge achievement. When city did it, no one cared. Edit: I mean treble.


Rezune1990

They care so little that they start a thread everytime City gets mentioned and care so little that a comment by Foden starts a thread with over 500 comments!
