Whereas I assume he's "cleverly" implying that our reign at the top of the footballing pyramid is only due to our crooked, rule breaking behaviour.

Depends on how you look at his wumming, I imagine.

Me too. I'll jump when they start winning though, not beforehand.
I just follow players and the money. If some people call me a glory hunter so be it etc.

Well, what else do you expect?

The amount of rag fans I've met over the years who lived in places like London and had plenty of perfectly good football clubs to choose from much closer to home. When questioned why they support Manchesniteh.......... I would often get the same response: "because they're the best team in England"

This was back in the mid 90s and I would ask them: "what are you going to do when they're no longer the best team in England?"

"Support some other team I suppose" would be their nonchalant reply.

I remember thinking how shallow and soulless must it be, being you?

I've never (genuinely) got this "cheating" argument that's constantly thrown at us.

How have we cheated? The majority of the charges against us are in relation to our finances. Over-inflated sponsorship money and the like.

So essentially we're guilty of spending money?

Every football club that has won the premier league (except Leicester) have spent money.

Cheating in this modern era of professional football is playing with twelve men or players' taking performance enhancing drugs.

The broadcasting media use to thrive on the money that was spent by premier league clubs. TV Magazine programmes like Sky Sports would have a big screen showing the total spend of the summer transfer window and proudly proclaim this (£2,401,500,000.00) is a premier league record!

How can we be cheats when clubs like Chelsea and the rags have spent more than we have and still haven't won a premier league title?

What pisses other fans (rags, dippers, chavs and the tarquins) off isn't that we spend money, it's that we spend it well.

If MCFC were still trying to break into the top four after all these years (while still spending the same amount of money) and won the occasional league cup or FA cup does anyone really believe we'd be called out for cheating and awaiting the verdict of 115 charges of financial misconduct?

Isn't everyone?

I mean, everyone on a forum talking to a bunch of strangers somehow believe their thoughts and opinions really matter enough to spend time writing them out

You've written about 43,000 posts on here. There's certainly an element of attention seeking, or at least some sort of seeking validation mixed in there, along with just wanting to chat with City fans.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll find 99% of my posts on here are just normal posts about city, especially when the season is ongoing.

I just think it's funny a load of grown men getting wound up if I write "sir alex", like they are trying to project how huge a city fan they are to the rest of the forum by making a big deal about it and tearing me down for it. That's pure attention seeking on their part. I'm merely just being facetious.

Anyway back to real points. I hope these lot are in a relegation battle.

You might have a point, but none of us goes out of our way to use rags' correct names, nicknames and titles.

That makes you stand out from the crowd and therefore it’s an extreme form of attention seeking on here.

As you say, it's only because we're successful.

They're like 5 year olds playing monopoly and Daddy buys Park Lane and Mayfair, all they've got is to scream "You're Cheating!" before running off to Mummy with tears running down their faces.

They don't fully understand what's going on but because they aren't winning the person who IS winning is "obviously" "cheating". It's just pathetic and childish, but it's to be expected from the rags and the dippers and their media lapdogs.

Used to do “watch with mother”, Flower Pot Men, the Wooden Tops, Andy Pandy, Rag Tag and Bobtail, hated Tales of the Riverbank as it was just live animals and narration, not something a young kid needs to see.

The nostalgia of those days is off the charts, a good few years until we learned the “facts of life”, now the young uns are propelled into early adulthood via the Internet, they miss out on some of those blissful innocent years.
 
Guys can we stop replying to this crooked ****, he’s only here to see how many bites he can get.
Meanwhile due to my insomnia I’ve tuned into the rags vs the mighty West Ham
It’s 4-6 passes at the back then long ball. Dorgu as usual spends most of his time diving as does that heaven guy.
West Ham goalie has cost them 2 goals, Absolute clown keeper ariola.
All in all they look similar to last season
Cuntha looks half decent
rasmus birtles touched the ball about 3 times in near 60 min penandes complaining about everything as usual basically a bit shit.
Plus they’ve got no bones jones gurning away in the studio.

Same as, can’t get to sleep so I’ve put the game on for a laugh, every replay of the three goals so far has featured “canned” cheering, what an absolute joke, Tim Howard says Cuhna “glides across the grass”, euphemism for being a lazy git.

Funny people accusing me of being a rag, yet they're watching rag pre season friendlies in the middle of the night haha..

As a night owl, I still wouldn't watch them in a friendly in the middle of the night if there was nothing on.
