I mean, City as they currently stand and operate were “founded” in 2009. In a world where the Red Bull company would’ve been allowed to take over the German equivalent of pre-2009 Manchester City, do we let it slide and no longer harbor any ill will towards RB Leipzig? It’s not just City of course, many City fans can tell you the kind of stick they received as Chelsea supporters when Roman took over.

 

At least we all now know Haaland is better than Dado Prso.

 

^ Great reference

 

Watching a reply, holy fuck Leipzig were absolutely robbed in that first half. That is some seriously dodgy refereeing.

 

nike has to be stopped.

 

Abomination.

 

So happy we went to Adidas. Nike are genuinely awful.

 

Totally normal Marseille things

 

Adidas is GOAT for football kits.

 

the worst adidas kits are “meh” while the worst nike kits are abominations

 

I think Puma is much worse than Nike.

Especially these type of "kits"

 

All time worst kit was the Puma copy and paste jobs from a couple of years ago, where it didn't have badges and just had the club name across the front. Gross

 

Great minds think alike haha!

 

Puma and Nike are both awful to be honest. I hate the standard Nike template

 

I quite like Hummel as a kit manufacturer. They go under the radar as they don't do many kits.

 

Maybe English fans aren’t the worst lol

 

Southamptons home kit is lovely, but ruined by the awful betting sponsor!

 

Holy shit. Feel for the people of the city who will most likely pay for the damages.

 

Frankfurt fans did that in Barcelona last year and got praised for their passion lmao

 

I would assume the difference is that people actually like Napoli?

 

They were pretty awful when they came to North London too.

 

I love when managers say this, as if we haven’t had Zinchenko, Partey, and Jesus all out with injuries for decent chunks of this season.

You’re out of the title race because you aren’t good enough. Stop deflecting.

 

Puma has been good to City for the home/away designs. The 3rd kits have all been major missteps.

I’m good with Puma (for now) because they definitely treat City as a top priority with getting their stuff on a lot of merch.

 

The deflecting is the point IMO, classic Ferguson tactic of protecting the players by lifting some of the blame/heat off them for poor performances and putting it onto something outside the players control. Even if the excuse is a poor one and everyone sees right through it, at least the players see their manager has got their back in the media.
