Term-X 7,891 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Only delusional Madrid fans will think they done good over the past few years after spending so much moneyReal Madrid are a super club, in every sense of the word, they are the biggest football organisation in world football history.There is no such thing in football. Not without having a personality that will have a huge impact on world football. And that's certainly not going to happen with Manchester's 2nd biggest club. Get real.Ironic, because that is their USP, 'the manchester derby'. It's something we lack as a football club, that big rivalry with another 'top' team. QPR, Fulham & Spurs don't count. Fans will gravitate towards them once they start picking up trophies, marketing will take care of the rest. The criminal deal with Etihad has sealed it for City, bypassing the FFP was the turning point.This is a sad day for English football...... city will blow everyone away.Indeed, United winning the league this season changes nothing, City winning it.. changes everything.

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Real Madrid are a super club, in every sense of the word, they are the biggest football organisation in world football history.Totally agree, but what does that got to do with what I said?Indeed, United winning the league this season changes nothing, City winning it.. changes everything.Your flaw argument means nothing. It does not changes anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah but the concept is still the same.This guy is coming over here with some outrageous claim that City will dominate the league for years to come base on what assumption?Cause they got loads of money?Come on men, if you watch this sport how can you say such shit????Teams with less budget have managed to make good runs.I just gave you the example of Barcelona, then I just gave you the example of Juventus, and now I will give you the example of Borrusia Dormund.Teams that have not had to spend big money to acquire success.His rationale is that of a little child!I don't think man city will dominate but as long as they spend they will contend.Will they win every year ? I don't think so. But they will contend for epl crown every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they will contend for epl crown every yearYeah I agree, they will be a potential contender for the tittle like they where this season, and nothing more.But people who think they will dominate just cause they got loads of money....well as Mourinho put it: " They know nothing about character, about effort, about a team with 10 men resisting tactically, physically everything"Money will not buy you the passion, and pride for the club.To leave everything out there on the field.To have great chemistry with your peers.To go that extra mile for your teammates.They know nothing!

Kostas 1,468 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 By personality do you mean a Mourinho-like manager?Not quite sure about Mou's long term abilities but I had in mind someone as legendary as Michels, Cruyff and Fergie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ironic, because that is their USP, 'the manchester derby'.

Fans will gravitate towards them once they start picking up trophies, marketing will take care of the rest. The criminal deal with Etihad has sealed it for City, bypassing the FFP was the turning point.Yet that very "Manchester" part of their name is what IMO will keep them from reaching the status (and the myriad benefits that stem from it) of the biggest Manchester club.It's really as simple as not dreading of any kind of long term European domination from the likes of Atletico Madrid or Espanyol, as disrespectful as this might sound.On a sidenote I'm genuinely disturbed by witnessing myself agree with Justin and argue with Terminator X on this matter.

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 If they win..they'll spend..if they dont..they'll spend so either way be changed at the club.And who knows if they loose maybe their board wont be as impatient as ours and keep Manchini on..that way theres still the stablity regardless of a trophy or not.And money cant buy you trophies..up to the manager to make the players gel together just ebcause you have a bunch of big names doesnt mean results.City have a few big names and they havent exactly run off with the league.On their day anyone can beat anyone If they fail to win for say 3 years in a row coming close then the menality may change but after one shot?Be surprised.Cant imagin them going into the league like its already lostAnd besides when we won it that time and looked to dominate,teams around us going stronger so it never happened and really Man U will always be the dominating team until Fergie goes.Not amazing players or played well yet in with a shot.And wouldnt mind them winning so much if some of their results werent due to completly dodgy decisons.Know we got a few but for them...seems to be majoirty of the time!All matters end of the day is our results...Still always intresting to hear 'Man U' fans with London accents ring into the radio saying how Fergie should go...

Shogun 721 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I hate Stoke, desperately hope they are relegated next year. Anti-football at it's finest.still decent point considering Liverpool's result. 1 win from our next two games (Wolves and Newcastle) should be enough to secure seventh.

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I don't mind stoke really, everyone has their style, it's down to other teams to break it down and deal with it. I like seeing variations in how teams play otherwise all matches are the boring same. Was hilarious that Liverpool lost at home again.... What's than now 5 wins in 18 home games? That's truly shocking, they should be relegated with form like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a well run club with some very passionate fans, I don't find any fault with them at all. Fair play to them for staying up so long, though perhaps they could be a bit more entertaining at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
