Agreed Zander, I've been a ManCity supporter since 2010. As an American, you grow up playing basketball and baseball, I didn't touch a football (soccerball) growing up. Yes, I called it football, that's what the rest of the world calls it, and so do I, LOL. But when I watched my first match against Liverpool and I fell in love with Yaya Toure and it was a wrap. Been a massive fan ever since. Thanks, StuntPegg for this video.
@@LoCoAde87 Just not true. Check City's net spend in the transfer market over the last five seasons. It's one of the LOWEST out there. They possibly COULD spend recklessly if they wanted, but City have NEVER done that. Superbly well run club.
I find it peculiar that the interviewee mentions Guardiola coming to the club as the turnaround point. I feel like the more important part is Abu Dhabi coming in and spending exorbitant amounts of money. I don't think Pep would have considered City without that money, tbh.
Abu Dhabi came in 2008. From 2008-2016 we won 2 titles in 8 years. Since pep in 2016 we have won 5 in 7 years. Guardiola has 100% been the turning point to this era of dominance.
Lets be honest was Fergie gonna ever go to United if he knew he was gonna be given no money, or Klopp to Anfield , Ten Hag to United, or Mourinho to Chelsea ?? ..... Of course they WOULDN'T!!!
Gotta love English fans trying to finesse their way around 'It's not a farmer's league' when they've been bashing other leagues for having the same champions with ease. The PL is definitely the strongest league in the world (mainly because teams below 4-5 are MUCH, MUCH more competitive than in the other big leagues), but this is no reason to look down on La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A or even Ligue 1.
in terms of entertainment, there are oceans of distance between Pl and the others you mentioned, but in Europe italians this year, and spaniards everytime they play an English team, are better than the PL. So if I want to see something for fun, I watch the PL, but I know everytime a Spanish team plays an English team, the Spanish team will win 9 times out of 10, so despite my love for the PL I cannot call other leagues farm leagues when the supposed english dominance isn't reflected on the pitch in europe
Farmer's league doesn't refer to repeat champions. It refers to the suggestion that one or a few teams are dominant bc teams in the middle and bottom third of the table are made up of "farmers" who have second jobs aside from football, and thus can never compete. There is more parity in the premier league than the other top leagues. Serie A with Juventus no longer the prohibitive favorite, is the next best I'd say.
@@dipthongthathongthongthong9691 I know that, but its an euphemism to call them lesser leagues, and they arent, even in the aspect you mentioned, because in England the league is turning into a one team affair as well
I saw this fan spirit in the Cheeseman videos. I cringe every time casuals who are probably in their early 20s and never been to Manchester or England talking nonsense about "history" or "pedigree", as if they had something to do with it. Very happy for the long-time fans.
Been a fan since 98 and honestly I'm just here admiring everything. I remember us fighting in the Championship or the not so fun half of the premier league. Look at us now lad. Feeling kinda surreal these days. Come on City! Win it all 💙💙💙
City is making new history for itself and bringing in new fans, let’s just hope these “plastic fans” become real fans even when the wins stop steamrolling in
I think it's ok to invade the pitch. It's a way for the fans to say "We're not just numbers that make a revenue graph go up. We're here, this victory is also ours".
City have the cash but they also have a top managers and they spend well. As a Liverpool fan I can't see City giving up the title any time soon, which is a little depressing but that's life....Bring on the new season...
Loserpool have cash too. But they don’t have pep . Don’t get me wrong i like loserpool . I just call them losers because they cannot have a decent game against vardrid
Their ace players are slowly aging so it really depends on the rec and talent development... seeing how competitive this season's race is, and how the 'losers' like Liverpool and Chelsea will want to 'take revenge' next season, I can see City ending their winning streak next year.
Another great vlog, been watching you since you were a kid running on the pitch at bolton after surviving relegation! One of the best vloggers out there, fair, impartial and knowledgable. Well done mate 👍
I think your videos are brilliant. Always a unique commentary and perspective at all grades of English football. I feel your love of the game and you always deliver your reports with balance, maturity and respect. Keep ‘em coming
Great video, great content as always Nieve! One quick thought, who are the other people in the video? Might you consider linking their socials in your description as well? At least the ones you gave a title to, Joe, Pippa, James, James, Fiago...
the collection of perspectives at the end was really interesting, great video to watch! perspective on QPR fans + caption rings pretty true in my experience too.
I love your channel it definitely shows the beautiful game from the fan perspective from big teams to small teams most people probably never heard of or follow 👏🏾👏🏾
I grew up in salford/eccles area and it was predominately red, although i must admit most blues that i knew did regularly go to the games were as around only half to a third of the reds did Im a bit older now but did go utd reg in late 80s to late 90s
Loving The Smiths snippets. I went to school with Andy Rourke & Johnny Marr in Sharston. Remember jumping on the bus, once in a while & popping down to Maine Road, mid-week. Great days. Love being a City fan. Was rough for a few decades but all worth it.
PL is definitely a one club league. anyone who says different is on copium. La Liga and Serie A are both much more competitive and entertaining than the prem, nor can oil money buy trophies in those leagues.
Hey Nieve great video! Commiserations to Bolton in the playoffs, hope you can keep your key players and reinvest well and come up! Really want us (Fulham) to play you soon!
I only see her videos pop up on occasion and don't know much about her, so I didn't know she was a Bolton supporter....... Come on the mighty Barnsley!!!!! Haha
@@LoCoAde87 May I ask how you’ve come to this conclusion? I went to every single Bolton home and away when we got relegated and nearly didn’t exist, I still watch them at home week in week out but don’t record it any more as I want to take in the good times with my Grandad. So yeah, when does it suit and when does it not suit?
I wouldn't say that pitch inasions are related to success. In the dark years we invaded the pitch on the last game regardless of how the season went. It was expected and tolerated, if not welcomed.
In the past though, pitches were just grass and mud, these days they're expensive pieces of kit. I think they are inevitable though with huge end of season games.
Says a lot when a fan has to say “when pep goes I’m sure the fans will remain” that’s a given at every other club mate 😂 shouldn’t need to be said. but he knows a lot will disappear when the dominance stops
doubt it, pep has built a stronger base! when he leaves theyl attract a top manager with more top players! milloins of kids around europe and the world are probably turning into city fans..... and that will only grow
You do such a wonderful job capturing what makes football great. More and more Americans are coming around to the sport and I think your videos will help it catch on even faster!
The premier league is as much of a farmer’s league as all the other top leagues. There’s one or two teams who are financially dominant and then the rest of the league is fair play. People call Ligue 1 a farmer’s league but in spite of PSG’s overwhelming resources both Lille and Monaco have won the league in the last decade. Just because Arsenal came close this year does not make the Prem any less farmery than all the other big leagues.
The Premier lea. is the richest & strongest lea. in europe. England has the most clubs ever to win European cup. 5 exactly more than any other countries.
English football has been dominated by one team for nearly 50 years. Liverpool, United and now City. United won 13 titles out of 20 at one point. The rest of the teams over that period lived off their scraps.
Pitch invasions have a place when it’s a crazy comeback or unexpected win to win the league, not a game where the outcome didn’t matter and you already won the league
It will be swept under the rug. Too much money at stake for the PL to take any serious action. Now the talk is only about how magnificent City are, when the club is built on a lie. Game's gone.
I know your embarrassed being reminded of it ..but for every entitled narcissist like thogden there’s you Nieve to balance things out with quality.i used to like city and I guess like a lot of fans im a tad jealous but to me they are nothing more than a money making machine now.and as has been said.The Smiths meant a lot to me and thousands of others.nice shout out.RIP Andy Rourke
They're a money making machine because the money they invested into the club paid off with trophies and making it far into competitions, which pays off itself. Just this season they'll earn over 200M from the PL and Champions League, then y'all people who don't bother to do the math act shocked on how can they afford players. Stop sounding pathetic and childish, f&cking grow up already.
Post-game pitch invasions, generally called field storming (or court storming when it happens in basketball) has become very common in American sports, primarily college and high school sports. 20-30 years ago is was reserved for major upsets or beating your rival with a championship on the line, but now it seems like people will storm the field/court for just about any win that could be deemed an upset and/or important in any way. Also, when the Djurgarden hockey team won promotion back to the SHL in Sweden in 2014, there was a rink invasion.
May be because they have done nothing wrong. All allegations have yet to be proven and will remind you that in this country you are innocent until PROVEN guilty
@John Evans they also stated they did nothing wrong in 2020 as well when they were handed a 2 year uefa ban. They ended up getting out of it on a technicality. The statute of limitation was the only reason they were not charged. So they have been cheating. They just hid it very well. It was found out to late, so they were not held accountable.
I knew when paul Dickov scored his wonder goal at the Wembley play off final to get us to penalties which we won that we would never look back and go on to achieve great things, i just had a feeling at the time that this was the start of a new period in the clubs history 🤷🏽♂️😂
Lovely film. Saying the Prem is a one club league is taking credit away from City for what they've done. We've been pushed to the limit by Liverpool more than once and Arsenal too. As Pep often says, it's these teams that help to raise our game.
I am not a City fan but they are the closest thing to perfection in England we’ll ever see. Great top flight champions of the past could win the league with less than 90 points, but City has raised the bar to a nearly impossible standard of consistency. Your heart sinks when you lose a single match throughout the very long Prem season because you know City will take advantage of that. They are relentless.
@@korniec ah yes, potentially breaching a few financial regulations in 2012 gives a team indomitable spirit and will to win! Just look at PSG! What a team! 😂
@@spa2damax they’re financial dopers. No different to a cyclist using PED’s. They can spend money without consequences unlike their competitors. Dress it up however you want. It’s cheating.
Love the vlogs you do ..Im City fan from the late 70s..Never thought I’d see City win anything again ..We got very lucky with Mansour bin Zahyed..And I’ve probably watched utd live in actual games ,more than 90% of utd fans 😁..And you nailed it at 5.15 💙
@@johnwalters4792 Yep, Premier League are going to be in a lot of trouble for tainting our achievement's with these false charges, the damage is done now
Bizarre to see everyone praising oil barons coming in to give billions away in pursuit of buying football, but that’s what English football is now. You need a tycoon to compete and it doesn’t matter where the money comes from or what the long term consequences are. Teams used to become dominant off their own merit.
The only time I recall Manchester United fans invading the pitch was when we got relegated in the 70s......oh wait, FA cup Semi final 99, nevermind. BTW, financial fair play.
As an American City fan, THANK YOU for this! I likely wont get to experience a game in person for a while so getting to see this from a different perspective was great!
@@Agtsmirnoff I’ve been watching for 13 years of my life and I’m 26 started watching football a year before city even lifted the trophy, half my life I been watching. How’s that a bandwagon? Plus when I first started watching UTD Liv and Arsenal were way bigger/more popular and had success in every comp- city had not. Rival fans always gotta waffle about something I guess 🤷🏻♂️
@@EZehMediamate 13 years ago was when city’s oil was in full flow, it’s a year or 2 before they won the league, you’re a bandwagon. Stop trying to convince yourself you’re not
No it's not a one club league, as Gary Neville pointed out City have won 8 out of the last 12 seasons, before that United won 9 of 12, teams become dominant and then drop down the order, a one club league is Germany where Bayern won 10 in a row or Scotland where Celtic have been dominant for the past decade
bit deluded to think city wont win 4 or even 5 leagues in a row until pep leaves, which no team has ever done before. It's as much of a farmer's league as the bundesliga at the moment, we just haven't had enough time to see it.
@@GuinessOriginal City did it by breaking all the rules, it's worth considering. I get your point but half of that team shouldn't be there with all the financial fuckery they've been doing. Haaland cost way more than was stated in the media and that money didn't come from selling tickets. It's more okay when United dominated, rival fans weren't happy as always, but it wasn't as much of a scandal. They were legitimately just a better club with better players and a better manager etc. United had to contend with the Invincibles and Mourinho's Chelsea as well as City, people forget that. It's not like United won the league every season by 30 points and never lost a game like Sheriff Tiraspol do, they had tough opposition that held them off a number of times. Liverpool have done it once with the best team they've ever had, with a tiny margin of points, but otherwise no team can cope with City's infinite spending, dodgy deals and infrastructure. City have 3 different starting XIs that could win the league, have signed players using financial fuckery and it's just a given that they'll win the league. How can any team compete? Teams did compete with United back in the day, Arsenal and Chelsea did. Who, next season, can possibly outdo City? And how, without just spending a trillion buying the FifPro World XI. City are like Celtic at this point, yeah this will come to an end and they'll slip up once or twice and cause an upset, but it doesn't mean it isn't boring and predictable. I'm going to bet money City win it next year.
Thank you! It’s the third time I’ve watched Man City win the league, and I just fancied hearing how the whole stadium sounded collectively looking from the outside in!
The Prem is by no means a Farmers League, but neither are many of the leagues that get lumped into that category. Teams have periods of dominance, it happens, and it's possibly going to happen more often because of the very capitalist nature of the way most leagues are structured. The place you'd think it would be least likely is Germany because of the way the Bundesliga is structured, yet it still happens. I certainly don't think the Spanish & German leagues are "farmers" leagues as they've been part of what I would consider "the Big Three" European leagues of the past decade or two. The Italian Serie A seemed to go through a quiet period after financial collapse, but is now bouncing back. The one that has really not seemed competitive is Ligue 1, yet even there Lille won recently, and they've actually had the largest number of different champions (8) across Europe's Top Five leagues since the turn of the millennium.
I lost interest in football because every year is the same champion in each league. Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich, Barcelona or Real Madrid. There is no battle at all. No battle means boring to watch. Why should I watch if I know who will be champion before season starts?
Most of the people going on to the pitches in all the play offs etc are the sort that only go to end of season games def not those who go week in week out
Teenagers wanting content for their TikToks and Snapchats. If phones were banned in the stadium, half of those people would have stayed in their seats.
6:07 When Alex Ferguson (he never dominated as hard as city has done for the record) was around, the PL was absolutely not "the greatest league in the world", no. Serie A had that title during the 90s and 00s, followed then by La Liga. The PL today IS absolutely a one club league. 6 years, and 5 league titles. What else do you call it?
6:33 The same goes for Bundesliga. Bayern has won 10 straight league titles, which may or may not change this season. If you take them out, it's competitive and tough. That does not make a difference, it is still a farmer's league. Just like the PL.
