Neil Warnock: “Not in a million years did #ManCity’s money mean they’d be successful - look at Tottenham.
Pep Guardiola blended that team together - it won’t taint my opinion of him.”
🚨🗣️Noel Gallagher wants Manchester City built around Rayan Cherki: “They need to build the team around him. That’s what I think he needs to be given the licence to, because he can pop up anywhere in the last third of the pitch.”
“The [first] goal at Palace, when your team are up there and you can’t really see what’s going on [from the stands], none of us really knew how he’d managed to get it. And even when we came home and watched it back, I was like, ‘How has he done that?’”
“He’s got that indefinable thing that magicians have. He’s gnarly, he says mad stuff, but I mean, he’s an absolute diamond.”

Conversation between Michal Richards and Rio Ferdinand:
Micah: So, Rio, what do you think should happen to City if they’re found guilty of the 115 charges?
Rio: Simple. If they cheated, you take the titles away. Give them to United.
Micah: Give them to United? Hold on, Rio. United bottled that league with six games left. City didn’t make United drop points.
Rio: Yeah, but if City cheated, what does that matter?
Micah: It matters because United still had to win their own games! And let’s not forget, City went to Old Trafford and beat United 6–1. City didn’t walk into their dressing room and tell them to lose.
Rio: I don’t care. If City cheated, you can’t just say, “Oh, but United bottled it.” The integrity of the competition comes first.
Micah: But you’re basically rewarding a team that failed to win the league on the pitch?
*Rio becomes mute.
