@SebaFotBl @FPLfrasier Merchandise is a drop in the ocean for revenue. TV contracts, prize money and sponsorship are the major factors. Anyway, cheers for the 'idiot' and 'cunt' comments, you crack on with your life. Hope it's great 👍

Can James or another City fan explain how City claim to have a higher commercial revenue without having an international fanbase?
James Ducker@TelegraphDucker
And you forgot to add that United have a far, far bigger domestic and international fanbase. It’s like comparing apples and pears
English
@SebaFotBl @FPLfrasier For the reasons I've just explained. Anyway, you crack on with the insults and enjoy your life. All the best.

@beardy5 @FPLfrasier How can you have high commercial revenue without international fans you dull cunt
English
@SebaFotBl @FPLfrasier So you think fans around the world buying knock off shirts is contributing more to your club than having success on the pitch, which leads to more TV money, which leads to higher sponsorship deals?
English
@beardy5 @FPLfrasier Please explain how you have no international fans, but high commercial revenue.
Il wait. This should be good
English
@SebaFotBl @FPLfrasier Just say you don't understand how finance works and move on.

I say it all the time but I hate this. City’s fans are mostly working class from Manchester, they were at Wembley a few weeks ago, they’re there every year, they go deep into CL every year. There’s only so much anyone can afford. The issue here is FA Cup semi finals at Wembley
South Stand Pies@SouthStandPies
The most successful team in England in the last ten years and there were 10,000 empty Man City seats at Wembley. And that’s after they gave some to Southampton! Embarrassing. #MNCSOT

@njmcfc1894 I'm living in hope more than anything, but personally reckon he stays to the end of his contract at least, and possibly even extends. Reckon he'll fancy another crack at the Champions League with this team next season.

IF (big if) we win domestic treble i think Pep goes, unbelievable manager for us, be a tough act to follow but unlike certain other managers he'll leave a pretty young core base of a squad
English
@ed_aarons Stupid, if you spend that much time being top shouldn't you get something for it? It's about being consistent over the season, not just showing up in April
English
Arsenal have been top of Premier League for 197 days this season but Manchester City will overtake them if they beat Burnley on Wednesday. By then, Arsenal will have been top for 973 days since last title in 2004. City have been top for 1200 days since then and won eight titles

@AmosMurphy_ They also went on to say Khusanov should have got a red. Absolute joke shop.

@bifana_bifana I would be 'indifferent' to 89 of the 92 clubs winning anything (bar a few petty grudges built up over the years). Arsenal/United/Liverpool are different as the fans are insufferable and insecure, obssessed with being 'big clubs' and all the arrogance that goes with it.
English
Plenty of reasons to prefer City over Arsenal & City over Liverpool & Utd too, but the big brains are going at it hammer and tongues to find a theory. How about Arsenal produce anti-football unworthy of the highest prize? Plus the online fanbase are the least grounded of the lot?
Sid Lowe@sidlowe
Have wondered about this. Here’s my theory: I think it’s sort of the opposite. But it is born, at least in part, in the place you’re talking about. I don’t think it’s love; I think it’s a kind of indifference. By which I mean, it’s like City don’t count and people — who see them (whether rightly or wrongly) as operating on a different plane and with different rules etc — are kind of resigned to them and have reached an acceptance. So, for fans of teams like, say, Liverpool or (even) United (despite being rivals in Manchester), if City win the league: shrug, yeah, whatever, what you gonna do? If this year Arsenal or in previous years Liverpool win the league — who you are competing with on the same level, who are your peers/challengers, for want of a better word, whose title win would be as good as yours would have been — it actually does hurt and it does mean something. It’s a “real” title win…and thus, by extension, a real title loss for your team. And I suspect that goes beyond just fans of those teams too to become more generalized. I know, I know, plenty of people will really dislike this, from both sides of the argument, and I might have to hide from the @s now as they all shout at me, but it’s about people’s perceptions and I reckon there’s something in that. Anyway, sorry: a long tweet. Just a theory.

A lot of fake quotes popping up at the moment?
Kalshi EPL@KalshiEPL
Pep Guardiola on Rayan Cherki 🎙️ “Aside from Lionel Messi, Rayan Cherki is the most exciting player I’ve ever coached. Even though sometimes I get a bit frustrated when he holds onto the ball too long or starts showing off his skills, his level of technical ability, flair, and composure in games is incredible.”

I'm glad Arsenal lost today. We want our guard of honour at the Etihad in April we don't want to win it too soon

A passionate battle cry from this Arsenal fan ahead of their huge clash against Man City 🔴😅

@KingKenny_20 @StevenMcinerney I simply don't believe anyone can be considered the greatest midfielder of all time in a competition he was never good enough to win.
English
@beardy5 @StevenMcinerney You keep mentioning league titles but he could have gone to Chelsea or man united and won them there?? Would that have made you happier ??😂😂😂
English
He was absolutely brilliant but his weakness was his Hero Mode tendencies. Everything was gung ho all the time.
Sky Sports Premier League@SkySportsPL
"His strength was he didn't have a weakness" @Carra23 explains why Steven Gerrard is the best Premier League midfielder of all-time for him 💬
English
@KingKenny_20 @StevenMcinerney No, but they won multiple league titles. He was a great player and his style of play suited cup competitions where he could be the hero on any given day. But that doesn't suit a league campaign as you can't deliver a title trying to do it yourself. It's unsustainable.
English
@beardy5 @StevenMcinerney Did Aguero or Yaya Toure ever win the champions league then with all that quality around them?? Leave it out ffs 😂😂😂
