The "beautiful" comment was posted by a West Ham fan.What I do find a bit off is the notion that jimmygrimblesboots' post was in any way praiseworthy.
Beautiful?
Or actually, rather sad?
Remember that this is a fan of a club that had won nothing at all - let alone a league title - in nigh on 40 years. And to be honest, had rarely even come remotely close. And now, all of a sudden, he's behaving like the worst of arrogant fans just because his club won the oil lottery.
I have no problem with City spending Abu Dhabi's money. That's merely investment in the company. Far more acceptable than the stitch up that is FFP. But let's not start praising a fan who has clearly forgotten where his club came from and who starts sneering at fans of other clubs because they follow a team that hasn't won much or anything by way of silverware lately. He represents the very worst of modern football.
It was the language you used "oil lottery", "spending Abu Dhabi's money" to throw sly veiled digs.
I shall take the fact you haven't responded to the part about your billionaire leech-like owners rinsing you whilst they claim everything isn't fair, as an acknowledgement that you and your ilk know the real truth deep down.
At the end of the day this is the Spurs thread on a City forum. It's a place for us City supporters to discuss Spurs, it isn't a place for Spurs' fans to run riot and disrespect our owners or club by posting incorrect lazy slurs. I quite like civilised fans from other clubs posting here as long as they remember that they are guests on a City forum and at least have the nouse to do some research into the facts before they accuse us of doing things that aren't true.
Oh they know perfectly well. The pennies are starting to drop about the owners of the media clubs. They (the fans) slag our owner off whilst moaning that their owners aren't doing the same for them. They know they're getting severely rinsed whilst the dividends are still being paid out.I don't think other fans get it....City spend the money they generate from being a football club (It's not oil money)
We spend more than Spurs because we make more than Spurs and our owner is happy for the club to invest
the money City generate on transfers/wages so we can compete on all fronts
If other clubs don't want to spend the money that they generate on improving their teams
that's their choice... don't blame City

They also don't like how we keep our best players and not have to cash in on them.
Nah mate, that was so they didn't have to match our investment or our commitment. It's just a cash cow to Spurs/Arse/rags/dippers owners. And their supporters are starting to see it for what it is.That's why FFP was invented...they thought we would have to sell our best players (get them off the wage bill)
Pocohantos has really got his knickers in a twist over the Harry Kane comment. Just been watching Sergio’s 100 goals on Sky. After quite a few of the clips the Sky commentator was heard to say “Where would City be without Aguero”. No one raised an eyebrow. Double standards
