City Wins: Like Watching Paint Dry?…
Picture this: Manchester City cruising to yet another trophy like a Muppet Show rerun nobody asked for! They’re hoisting silverware again, and everyone’s yawning like they’ve just downed a glass of warm milk. Critics, throwing tomatoes more than truths, complain that watching Guardiola’s squad is as thrilling as staring at a screen saver. “Please, someone close that gap!” cried ex-Premier League overlord Richard Scudamore back in 2018, wishing for some football magic and rival resurrection.
Despite City racking up titles like they’re going out of fashion, the TV ratings have taken a nosedive worthy of a comedy sketch. With Sky Sports viewership revealing a 10% drop, it appears that the audience hasn’t quite tapped into the ‘City Effect’, siding instead with a nail-biting Champions League chase. Funny enough, the real popcorn moments last season were watching which clubs would nab those coveted Euro spots—City was there too, fighting tooth and nail!
Word has it, even the head honchos of the league are skipping City’s trophy nights as if they were avoiding a dentist appointment! But here’s the ironic cherry on this dramatic cake: City’s supposedly boring dominance seems to be more electrifying than first impressions suggest. So, cheer up, neutrals and naysayers; their matches are like a fine sitcom—unexpectedly gripping!
