Surely Messi will win it?

 

[old blue]

Yeah, he’s on first, allegedly.

A nod to Abbot and Costello, very good.

Just read about the above car apparently it is quite good at turning corners. Not much good at long runs and programmed never to park in some body's parking spot.

The vermin have gone awfully quiet of late. I keep reminding those who I speak to that the Gap they should be mindful of is the one between them and Liverpool. Hate both clubs, but truth be told, I hate that bunch more and truly hope the scousers overtake them for 4th. Scum.

I haven't kept up with the details of the sale, but for some reason Qatar seem to be ahead. When and if Qatar get them, they would need a winner, not the current Dutch coach. Hopefully, Mourinho would consider a second stint and be paird with Mbappe. The fireworks will be spectacular.

I love to remind them of the Following:

They paid more for Anthony £85m

than we did for the 3 players below combined
Haarland £51m
Alvarez £15m
Ortega £0


they are bad nob heads

your forgetting the fact that when the Qatari's buy them, they will have no debt.

they will then be able to invest in their squad like us!

They’re definitely gonna go for Messi, aren’t they?

Rags never understood that nothing lasts forever. They genuinely thought their reign would last forever and never envisaged a future where they weren’t the best club.

But they rarely were the best club before. A good run under Magnull and two great sides built by Busby and that was United’s entire history before the 1990s. Two good managers ever before Ferguson.

I think a lot of City fans live in the knowledge that one day Pep will leave and we will be a worse team for it; members of our boardroom and the chairman will leave and we will be a worse club for it; the Sheikh will one day sell his shares in the club and we will be a different club altogether… we know that we will not always be this juggernaut that we’ve become and one day we will likely fall away down the league table becoming a history club.

The Rags never understood that and they can’t accept or handle it (Liverpool are the same).

1992 to 2013 was a great period for United (similarly 1973 to 1990 for Liverpool). But they were crazy anomalies in the history of both football clubs that are never going to be repeated for either of them ever again.

It’s City’s turn now. It might last from 2012 to maybe around 2031 or something. Then it could be Newcastle’s. In the future clubs like Spurs, Leeds or West Ham will be the next ones along with the investment and success (they’re the three biggest potential opportunities for investors in the country).

United (and Liverpool)’s time has been and gone. It won’t be long until City’s is n’all. But I think we understand that where those two sets of fans never have.

The difference with the past 30 years though is that it’s not just the fans that think this way. The clubs themselves have been doing everything in their power to rig the game so that they’re always on top. They want a Rangers and Celtic situation and if it wasn’t for Abramovich and Mansour, they probably would have managed it.

Mbappe is one of the two supreme talents of the new generation. Conveniently enough, the other is at City. Mbappe, however, is a virus in football terms personified, especially in the context of club football. That guy just wants to score goals and to get his ballon d or. I was surprised that his name was mentioned at all as one of the first pieces of the puzzle for the Qataris. Someone like him should be the last, a cherry on top.

The Qataris seem to want to replicate the Real Madrid approach, to buy the most expensive players around. Except Real Madrid, all top teams lately adopt a coherent football style and train rigorously according to the selected style. The Real Madrid-like and PSG-like approach the Qataris may use will be fun, for outside observers and audience. It will be box office.

You can add Akanji to your list and still have change!

I'd like to throw my support behind Chelsea Jim but there's not really any certainty that the Qatar bid is as it seems with the guy being worth less than a quarter of the asking price and that's before needing to spend.....we've seen fake sheiks before.

Anyway forca Chelsea Jim, at this moment in time it's the bid the raggy unwashed don't want so it's a big YES from me.

The scum were lucky because unlike the scousers their successful period co-incided with the big money pouring into the game enabling them to dominate. The key is how well you link current success to forward planning and building wisely for the future .
All Empires fall …

You'll find that the rags have outspent us constantly in the last 5 years, it isn't lack of money that makes them shit it's the arrogant way that they do business.

 

[babyape]

They’re definitely gonna go for Messi, aren’t they?

Which would require more mental gymnastics from their fans. As they’re so blinded by Ronaldo, despite him fucking them off, twice, the ones I know have slagged Messi off for years as being over rated.

They also thought that if they sneaked in and offered more money for our target players that they would be able to keep us down whilst boosting their own prospects.
Sanchez, Fred, Maguire and PR7 were lured to the snake pit by ££'s signs but it didn't do the rags or the players much good at the end of the day.
SCUM.
