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.

I think.... it is fair to say that City's success is not just down to money. Pep is an outstanding coach and his achievements at City would be beyond virtually anyone else. They are way, way beyond what his predecessors achieved with a similar financial advantage.

And if you want proof that money doesn't guarantee success, just look at Chelsea. Or post-Ferguson United :-)

I'm comfortable acknowledging what Pep has achieved whilst simultaneously calling them cheating ****s :-)

Maybe that Septic cyclist would have one myriad TdFs without drugs. Maybe Ben Johnson would have been 100m Olympic Champion without drugs. We'll never know. That's the point.

The pre-Pep era set City up. Gave them ****loads of players they could sell to buy replacements and made them a team good players would want to come to.

Had they not been doped, Pep would never have gone to a mid-table side. He knows what they've done, we all do, and the fact he tried to deny it makes me detest him even more. Him, the Orc, the owners and enablers, all of them.

I'm not defending them or Pep. I'm just saying, the money alone doesn't achieve this.

I'll never hate anyone more than Ferguson's United. Never.
