We have fewer players this season than we had last but the 'experts' in the media still keep banging on about our massive squad.

I have always found Stelling pretty anti-City. Others dont agree as he's a good old chap, amusing etc. But he definitely has it in for us. After Sven signed all those players he tipped us for relegation, much to the amusement of the other panelists 2 months later.
As it turns out, if the season had gone on another 4 weeks he would've been spot on!!

What the hell?????
We finished 9th with 55 points? 20 points above relegation zone. That would've been one hell of a 4 weeks if we ended up getting relegated.

Is it pure ignorance? coz it would only take 10 mins to check the facts.

but it only takes a millisecond for a non-bitter / non-agenda reporting cunt to realise that one player in, one player out leaves the squad with the same number as they started with

Well that's what I'm alluding to, surely they must know the facts, but for whatever reason they have chosen to scaremonger instead.

The way it works is; some City hating twat such as Merson, Parry (or Platt) makes a sweping statement off the top of his head, the rest peddle it as fact without bothering to find out any details. It eventally gets forgotten or disproved. Time passes. They repeat it as if it had actually happened & use it as evidence to back up another pile of garbage smeone else has invented, and so on.
