    It’s not just the amount they’ve spent, it’s how they came to get their money that annoys me. Other clubs of course spent big but they got their money in a more authentic way.

    Chelsea and City simply became playthings for the ultra rich

    Both clubs were ****ing nowhere before the money came in.

    My thinking is the complete opposite to this.
    I couldn't care less where the money came from because the hard part is finding the right people to spend it.

    Sorry for having a different opinion to you

    I just don’t see City's treble as the fairytale it’s been made out to be.

    yeah, players were getting bought, sold, and paid vast sums (for the time) when it was supposedly an amateur sport and completely against the rules. That's how some of them got big (on top of buying their way into the league in one case)

    No coincidence that the major bleaters are from clubs that had the richest backers before the likes of Chelsea, Citeh and now Newcastle were able to compete on the buying the best players front <laugh>

    City wouldn't have won a treble if Arsenal didn't completely bottle the league title.

    Dunno what the **** Pinkies bleating about.

    Your club was ahead of this lot for like 70% of the season. <laugh>

    It's a fairytale for the fans of Manchester City who were sat in the early 2000s, chuffed with lower midtable mediciocrity under Kevin Keegan.

    They've now seen their club win every single domestic cup and the biggest cup in Europe.

    I genuinely don't think they're arsed one bit that a bunch of neutrals don't rate it.

    Spurs fans complaining about it is just unbelievable. KingHotspur only likes to gargle the cum of clubs that have earned the right apparently <laugh>

    His argument makes no sense

    Fun fact:

    I’ve watched City live more than their plastic owner
