The Official TC 'We don't hate Man City thread'

[capriccioso 2,545]

And yet Atlético Madrid was Franco's favourite team. He only pumped the cash into Real Madrid after the early European success.

He still didn't like Real, he just saw them as an effective PR tool. Good football team means everything in the countries sunny as well, right?

I know, most of them on that thread want Bayern to win, i don't get your point.

And some fool said i want Bayern to win so we can say we beat the Champions.

Lmao, yeah you beat a Bayern reserve side with no Schwienstieger, Robben, Ribbery, Gomez, Lahm pretty much all there best players. Because they already qualfieid for first they wernt really arsed.

Time to settle this claim once and for all:

From the 51 posts in that thread:

24 supported Chelsea- 52.17391304347826%

15 supported Bayern- 32.60869565217391%

7 were neutral- 15.21739130434783%

And there were a few rambling posts that didn't discuss the match at all.

Enough of this most of them shit. Only one guy actually expressed hate for us, the rest principally didn't want us to win because they were afraid that it'll make us a bigger threat to them, didn't like John Terry, had put money on Bayern to win, or wanted City to win it before we did. Go look at any of the other sites I linked, it would be more like 99% Bayern and 1% Chelsea, except perhaps Redcafe which might be 95/5.

By contrast, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man United, Tottenham, Barcelona, most of the rest of the footballing world don't want us to win because we're all dirty disrespectful glory hunting plastic chavs who bought all of Europe and were a mid table League Two club before Roman bought us and every one of us dirty chavs booed the minutes silence. And Bayern Munich are loved because they have 'history' and are playing dirty chavvy John Terry that racist scum and that diving cunt Didier Drogba and fat Frank Lampard and Ca$hley Cole and their fans aren't chavs.

At least the posters who don't want us to win have by and large semi-sensible reasons for doing so rather than blind hatred.

Yeh I agree with Sloth, you've had Arsenal fans like Jack Wilshere and Piers Morgan - who probably don't like us much, wanting us to win because Tottenham will get knocked out too. Everyone has their personal preferences but notice how many posters on their forums who are rooting for Chelsea because they hate Tottenham It's English v Germans so there will be a few patriotic reasons too.

Arsenal hate Tottenham but ArsenalMania is going along the lines of "Can't let plastic gloryhunting chavs win CL before we do. Even if that means Yid's in the CL next year".

I doubt any London supporting fans will want us to win as we will be the first in London to do so.

Every team buys success. It's just cost Chelse a lot and Manchester City a lot more.

Didn't I read a comparison of the United v City line-ups which showed the value of United's squad was about equal to City's?

Sorry but that's just half the story. The whole 25 man squad should be compared, you don't win titles with the same 11 men playing all the time.

I agree, but the spending of United's been under the radar quite a bit in the last few years. They'll actually fork out when it's necessary.

Class fans. Good on them for not being tribal.

Well respect to the creator of the Thread as well as the others who agree with him....but i see most of them are fukken cunts that want to win it before we do.

That mentality alone shows how low they are (or some of them).

Much respect to the ones that support a fellow English team in Europe.

United have spent 210,183,000 since 2006. City have spent 528,130,000 in the same period. We spent 334,000,000.

Interestingly, Barcelona have 'only' spent 229,500,000 in the same period, while Real Madrid spent an incredible 673,700,000.. Both of those figures are in Euro's so you should probably deduct about 50 million or so to get a fairer picture in pounds.

No need for haters in a we don't hate thread.

[Kojo 4,676]

Cap first you think you can get on Henri's level, then you make this?, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Many things, including expecting a warm reception to anti-tribalism on a one-club forum.

[Term-X 7,891]

^ By definition, anti-tribalism is not being a supporter of a football club..

The title of this thread is invalid, hate is also a strong word. There are enough City fans that want us to lose (in general) to make the premise of this thread redundant. Man-City are out to jeopardise Cheslea FC’s own aims and objectives, they ‘directly’ effect us. Their success is our demise, so in that sense, a Chelsea fan being 'neutral' to City’s successes is illogical.

Anyone who had an inclination towards City on Monday, either subconsciously wants the Sheikh's to overtake Roman's success. Or doesn’t realise how much of a threat they are to us. United are a dying force with Ferguson on his last legs, one more for the pile would have made no difference, almost like the season never happened. The attitude that City are good for the league is that of a neutral, only a spectator feels that way. Plus, it’s actually the opposite!, they are.. and may well monopolise the league, this FFP came along at the worst possible time for us. Because City have found a way around it (we all know how), almost like the last fish to escape the net before ascension.

Even so, that's not unanimous enough for it to have earned an entire thread.
