  1. LONDON (AFP) - Premier League leaders Manchester City announced record revenues of £473.4 million ($619.9 million, 534.5 million euros) for the past financial year on Wednesday. The figures published in City's annual report for 2016-17 mark an increase of 21 percent on the previous year's revenues and represent the third successive year the club's revenues have grown. City are flying on the pitch as well at the moment, with Pep Guardiola's free-scoring side eight points clear at the Premier League summit and into the Champions League last 16. "This report is about making sure our fans and our partners can see the true detailed status of every aspect of the club," said City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak in a press release. "What hopefully comes across is that the football organisation and off-field business have the right symmetry and balance to allow us to continue to further strengthen and grow." City, who were purchased by Sheikh Mansour of Abu Dhabi in 2008, remain debt-free. During Sheikh Mansour's tenure, they have won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup. The club had never previously recorded revenues above £400 million and Al Mubarak said revenue growth was moving "towards the £500 million mark". Guardiola failed to win a trophy in his first season as City manager, but chief executive Ferran Soriano said the club's objectives were in line with the manager's. "We are committed to playing beautiful football and to win," he said. "Both elements are compatible and the second is a consequence of the first." Al Mubarak said the nine trophies won by City's youth teams showed youth development was "a central pillar for the club's long-term sustainability". He also paid tribute to City's women's team for winning a treble of domestic trophies, calling it an "outstanding achievement". https://www.france24.com/en/20171108-man-city-announce-record-4734m-revenues A lesson to all the other clubs on how to be self funded and have zero debts at the same time, united need to take notes on how a proper club is run
  2. like me with the new Doom, got bored a few hours in and have never gone back as of yet due to new games coming out ..got GTA 5 to play yet too and the Deus ex mankind divided when I can get around to it
  3. @Mel81x Yep, it's getting better and better, I strongly recommend you carry on with yours, it takes time to get going!
  4. They will be more fresh but will have lacked completive competition, I don't think they would cope with the movement of a side like ours
  5. Everton and West Ham legend Tony Cottee believes this Manchester City team could potentially be the best side in Premier League history if they can maintain their electric form. Speaking on Sky Sports, the former England international said: “I watched the game against Arsenal and what I loved about it was the confidence, the arrogance that comes with being a top team of being able to play out of any situation. “You’ve got a goalkeeper passing it six yards, making an angle to be able to get the ball back from a defender and they play out from all angles. “I think they’ve shut up shop defensively and we know what they’ve got going forward.” Cottee then made the bold claim that City could surpass any of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United sides and even Arsenal’s Invincibles. “This potentially could be the best Premier League team we’ve ever seen. You’ve got the ‘Invincibles’, and many Manchester United teams. Potentially, this could be the best.” It’s still far too early to make that call for sure, hence Cottee repeatedly using the word ‘potentially’, but City have had the best start of any team in Premier League history while bossing a tricky Champions League group, and if this form continues, the sky is the limit…
  6. It can also backfire because they wouldn't be used to playing top level opposition like it will for Wilder when he fights Joshua ..fighting bums is not going to prepare him for the heat AJ will bring, same for PSG
  7. It is and can change at anytime! ...not really paying any attention to PSG, they play in a weak league, Spurs would look just as good over there, PSG are like Deontay Wilder, he fights nothing but bums and PSG play 2nd rate teams
  8. We are currently the best team in the world on current form ...if Barca and Madrid get back on top form, or we drop off then we will have to re address the topic but right now, we are the best in the world
  9. Manchester City have racked up an English record of 15 straight wins The Blues made it 15 wins on the bounce by beating Arsenal 3-1 at the weekend – and that victory surpassed the Gunners' own run of consecutive victories, in all competitions, which was 14, set in 1987.
  10. I'm just past the part where the nightmare is after you, for me it's getting better now i'm getting more ammo and stuff, will defo finish it
  11. Worth a cheeky punt? ..can you really see you stopping Sane, Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero, Jesus, Silva etc well enough to get anything from the game?
  12. 4-1 a few weeks back! If you come more defensive then it will be a harder game for us and a lot closer ..you can get great odds on an Arsenal win £100 gets you £680 on Betfair exchange, that's a crazy price! ..£100 on a City win gets you £45
  13. You will come and have ago (like Napoli) and that will be your un-doing, that's why I mentioned Napoli, teams that do well against us defend deep and look for a counter attack, that's not Wenger! .. Madrid, Spurs, Napoli all tried to play attacking football against us and got battered 4-1, 3-0 & 4-2 ...can you see Wenger coming with a more defensive approach? ..it's your only hope!
  14. Started that Prey, like it so far reminds me of Bioshock!
  15. Napoli are far better than you, they just lost 4-2 at home ..we are doing you 5-1
  16. Here's the Samaritans number for after this Sundays game 116 123
  17. Every cunt hates him too, he's a twat with players and staff!
  18. Don't know if that's true but everyone at City hated him from bottom to top level, everyone!
  19. When you look at who he's competing with De Bruyne, Silva, Bernardo, Gundogan etc and then other outstanding youth mids like Brahim Diaz it will be difficult for him ..i can see him going over to our Spanish team for a bit (Girona) ..Messi was raving about our current youth players over there now, one marked him out the game the other week and they just beat Real Madrid
  20. Yep, local lad Phil Foden won the player of the world cup ..he was great on the pre season tour too with the seniors England win Under-17 World Cup as Phil Foden inspires incredible comeback victory over Spain England U17s 5 Spain U17s 2: Manchester City midfielder scores twice as England add Under-17s crown to summer success at Under-20s level With five minutes left they thought they had landed it, Guehi poking over the line after Panzo kept the ball alive, but there was a fifth still to come. It was fitting that it fell for Foden, Golden Ball winner as player of the tournament, and he accepted it with aplomb, taking a deft touch before rifling past Alvaro with power and precision. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/england-win-under-17-world-cup-vs-spain-phil-foden-rhian-brewster-gibbs-white-a8025086.html
  21. We have some really good kids, hopefully we keep them all and they get a chance in the coming years
  22. He went to PSG and demanded Cavani let him take the free kicks, Cavani told him to fuck off!
