Great to see Scott Carson picking up his second champions league winners medal tonight. What a career.
Have you heard? He’s won more trophies/medals than Kane. What a world class player that Scotty lad.

Think tonight makes Kalvin Phillips better than Steven Gerrard as he now has a League title, Champions league & FA cup under his belt…Have you heard? He’s won more trophies/medals than Kane. What a world class player that Scotty lad.
I dont think they do, They know hes been cauught, butTo be fair thats a bit more fairer than Citry as they are all on PEDSWhen people think of Lance Armstrong, they only think of his wins.

Last update on BBC live reporting…This is what sets the narrative around the world for City’s (or any “plastic”club) success, the headlines. The media controls this. You won’t see a thing written here about Financial doping, FFP, Qatari atrocities or human rights violations.
Don’t be surprised when you find out the majority of fans around the world are very ignorant to those things.

I dont....I think of a cheating ****
You’re not the only ones, but I think you’re both missing the point of what Rusky was saying. Armstrong is a cheat, no one thinks of what a great cyclist he was, they think he’s a cheat. City are demonstrably cheats, that’s what a lot of people will remember.They really don’t. He’s widely known as a massive drug cheat.

A campaign against ignorance isn't high on my list of to dos. City football club, their owners, and fans will enjoy their day in the sun. The asterisk is still there, overshadowing it all, whether or not global recognition or ignorance of it prevails.I'm not sure how well travelled you are, but it really isn't that common of a theme around the rest of the world.
Most fans just see them as another rich successful club that got there because of a buyout. You'd be surprised at how ignorant the common football fan can be.
It’s definitely a great story………. if you forget they cheated and are currently charged with over 100 offences.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.

Of course that’s very true…….. but doesn’t change the fact that they cheated.Again, a very small percentage of football fans around the world actually care about the cheating and charges. All they see is the flashy trophy celebrations and incredible football on the pitch.
Of course that’s very true…….. but doesn’t change the fact that they cheated.
I wish that were true. As we've seen with Chelsea fans defending Roman when he had to flee, Newcastle fans whenever the Saudi takeover is criticised and now Utd fans wanting the Qatari bid to succeeded, a lot of fans do not care about how dodgy or immoral the source of their club's success is.You’re not the only ones, but I think you’re both missing the point of what Rusky was saying.

In all those cases you’re talking about fans of that particular team. Of course they’d hold that view. But a lot of other fans of football see this for exactly what it is.I wish that were true.
