(Man City) Outsiders Looking In

Well.... I wouldn't say you could buy anybody you wanted, players with half a brain and a passion for the game of football manage to resist the lure of ridiculously high wages, Kaka for example. And as many of your signings have proved, once it becomes about the money they're just not the same, they're no longer idolised by thousands of fans, but meerely seen as another player added to the group of misfits. Barry was better before his move, Robinho was better before his move, Adebayor was better before his move, now let's see how David Silva handles himself. One thing that you can almost certainly say though is that Man City fans won't see him in the same way Valencia fans did.

Any player with this half a brain you talk about can clearly see Man City is going places and no one can blame them for wanting to be a part of 'the project' while receiving a nice paycheck. They wont be blinded by jealousy like you obviously are. I could easily discount the very silly points you make but i honestly cant be bothered cos this sillyness is getting tiring! You suddenly cant stand City?TOUGH!

Brit - thats exactly what we (Chelsea) think. You think you've seen hatred and bitterness now, just wait till you win something at the expense of one of Arsenal, Liverpool or United's expense. The bitterness is just beyond belief. Not just from the fans but the media as well. You go from a disliked team to one that has an all out war being waged on it by the media, intent of stopping you by any means possible. You get fewer decisions out of Refs, commentators stop commentating and start slating even when you are playing well, and everytime you drop a point there is a national day of celebration. Honestly you aint seen nothing yet boys. From our point of view ove always liked Citeh, and even though you did us twice last season I still do. I think most Chelsea fans can see past the money whereas nobody else can. I like the way you play footie, i like the ethos around the way the club is run, and I've always said your fans are class - always classy. Hard and ridiculously partisan but classy. Always take loads away, you sing, you support properly, old school support. None of this leery Cockney Reds nonsense. Always admired the way you hate United as well.

Don't forget Mr "Fergie sign Him Up" Tevez. Don't think anyone could argue that he was a complete revelation, scoring more goals for us than he did in over two seasons for manure. TBH, I've started just ignoring the taunts of all our jealous rivals. I've heard the same old crap hundreds of time "Oh you'll win nothing, you have no history, all that money and you didn't even get in the champs league, the sheikh will get bored and walk away, your players are only in it for the money". What a load of bulls' hite. We're goingg to make our dtractors choke on their words and they all secretly know it.

Good man and I have granted you 4th place.

Mellow you are a right hoot. The green-eyed monster act really had me splitting my sides. Can I point out to you that prior to this season that dear little Tottingham have respectably "built" what they've got did so by spending nearly as much as us. And if Arsenal scraping the top 4 every season whilst not spending anything is respectable, then I know a good few Arsenal fans who would gladly see their club spend some disreputable cash to win some disreputable silverware . Seriously mate, do you believe everything you read in the tabloid press? Now jog on with the rest of the flock.

fithcolumnblue - Spurs have spent money within their means - Tottenham and Arsenal are the only 2 clubs that would pass the Fair Play law at present. Is that not a point, where the other 5 clubs should look at themselves? Yeh, we buy in players, but those are usually replacement players to the ones that have moved on for whatever reason - Keane, Berbatov, Carrick, Bent. those 4 alone raised nearly 80m. You can say Spurs spend a lot. But i think you'll find we have an equally high selling rate, that balances are books. Are you City fans, not in the least bit ashamed of what your club is doing? Are you not worried that you are being screwed by giving out huge contracts that your club will not be able to cover, without your Arab money?
