I agree about Fergie-time etc. But it's the blatant financial doping I can't stand. Everton etc owned up - City just keep trying to cheat. They only got away with being done by Uefa by lying long enough for the charges to no loner stand. And they're trying to just buy loads of lawyers to win this case.

However much you hate the Scousers, Klopp did amazingly with them. No City cheating and he'd be considered by them as up there with Shankley and Paisley. Likewise, with no City cheating, MA would already have 2 titles like GG {him, not me}, and would be going for his third to equal Herbie {the dead won, not ours} and AW with the hope of beating all of them. {Which could, Ganpati willing, still happen.}

It's just blatant cheating.

The other thing is that the EPL is the most exciting league in the world. Who will watch if City become like Munich {11 on the bounce until last season}?

It's a form of financial colonialism that the camel-fückers moaned about when we did it to them.

Get a sport your natives actually like and use your money to grow that into the best in the world like India did with the IPL.

But they don't even play it any more than the Saudis box or play golf. The Qataris fück us all around for their shîtty WC, get it changed at the last minute so only they play on the opening day and yet the stadium empties by half time when they're 2-0 down to the Turks and Caicos islands U13 girls' team.

They're shîtting on well over a century of our sporting, cultural history - support for teams that have been passed down the generations - and on the league that gave football to the planet just to try to buy themselves some 3rd world dictator bling.

I detest them.

You make a convincing case :hehe::hehe:

However... financial inequality is, regrettably, another long standing tradition in our game, and in our country. Yes, City have taken it to a previously unthinkable degree and yes, it is now illegal within the game where it previously wasn't.

But I will always prefer to face a rigged balance book over a rigged game. That particular match at Old Trafford (although not just that one) stands as a stain on the Premier League. A national disgrace.

Well, it wasn't their fault, and everyone knew it.

That aside, yes I hate the club and they deserve a place on the list. My own particular irritation is their insistence that purely by virtue of being from the city, they know their football. **** off! :-(

I think them stopping the apocalypse by beating Spurs in the Champions League final really gives them a pass for a while

We'll agree to disagree on that. Heysel was definitely 100% their fault and ****ed us from a shot at the European Cup.

Having spent an evening discussing this with someone who was there (and being at Sheffield Uni where my hall bar was named after one of the victims) I know where you are coming from

I thought what they did at Orgreave was unforgivable but they surpassed themselves after Hillsborough. Absolutely despicable.

That OT game cost us our 50th game unbeaten. Had ManU had City's financial doping AW would have never won a title, and perhaps no cups either.

I can't explain how much I detest City, though in part that's because I hated what Abrahamovic did to footie and City are that in excelsis.
