So typo's now = reading and comprehension do they, mate? Kind of proves my point, really. Why should I know your in-terms? I'm a Gooner. (Obviously know the Citeh one though - isn't that to do with the way Mancs pronounce City?) As for Champs league - the fact that the top 4 clubs in the EPL...

Plastics in my book referes to fans who start supporting a club just because its on the up but go elsewhere as soon as something better comes along. Just bad form, I guess.

Maybe - but I didn;t brand your supporters ignorant - there's the difference, see. ...and its nit picking :good:<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 29, 2010 3:25 pm --<br /><br /> Good post - thanks. Its amazing that when points are made in a non-confrontational way, they make much more sense. And I...

Not really. Its your own chippiness that interprets what others say in this way. Most of what I have seen here is ultra defensiveness and the result of years of being overshadowed by Manure. Most Gooners that I know are far from arrogant - getting stuffed each and every year for the past 5...

in the context of which is a bit embarassing, non? ..and as for being rattled - why would we be? We have always had clubs far more wealthy than ours to compete with, and have done. Talk about all this going to your heads before you have won anything at all. What you all going to be like if...

Defensive? - check Insular? - check Chippy? - check Hostile? - check Exciteable? - check Deranged - check Oh, and thanks for admitting that you are becoming patronising :good:<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 29, 2010 2:24 pm --<br /><br /> Since when was this a pissing contest about fan base? I'm not...

No I won't because when we were at Highbury we had a waiting list for membership of 60,000. And people were waiting 10+ years for a season ticket. We still have 1000's of people waiting for silver membership (first dibs on tickets); barely any tickets on general release and never any matchday...

Not if I was referring to a specific post. Which I clearly was.

Well, I did say wait and see. Chelsea is famous amongst London based fans for not selling out their place often - even for CL games. Even their own fans reckon moving is poitless because they won't fill it. Maybe you, like Arsenal have a big enough traditional fan base to increase capacity, who...

Mate the 42K was a reference to the Chavs' capacity. Isn't yours 47K? But at least you are 1 City fan who accepts that any increase in fan base will be plastics.<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 29, 2010 1:59 pm --<br /><br /> Tut...and I even extracted and repeated the post I was referring to. *shakes head*

Hmmmm. What competition did you earn the right to play in for Arab billions?<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 29, 2010 12:47 pm --<br /><br /> No, not really, no. Read my post. I'll repeat it here for your convenience. Did I say that you were plastic fans? No. I said that your wealth looks like its...

A sensible post. I didn't realise that Mansour was investing so much in the city until I came on here, and he deserves propers for that. And you've put your finger on an important issue - are people blaming City? I'm not - and I know that 90% of clubs would do the same as you. I am not moaning...

lol - I see what you did there!

Dear oh dear. People didn't pity you - they empathised with the fact that you had proper fans who supported your club in huge numbers despite you being relegated through 2 divisions. Money makes the world go round - and also changes people for the worse. looks like its working its majic with you...

Shhesh. You lot are becoming like plastic Chav fans - but in record time. As you'd expect - I know loads of Chav fans - and many old school fans are honest enough to admit that while they will take success at any price, they would rather that they could have achieved this without financial...

Not really the point though, is it? The point is that you did nothing with them, and have dumped them now you are all flush. You all sound pretty defensive here - and I can appreciate that. You may not realise it, but many people still have a softish spot for City, because their fans have...

Chim chimmeny, chim chimmeny, chim chim cheroo We've got Tim Howard and he says 'Fuck you!'

That's not the point (re Academy players). The point is that many of our first team players were developed at Arsenal rather than bought oven ready. That's what gives a sense of satisfaction at seeing these kids come through. Secondly - it hasn't been disproved at all - its only a matter of...

No. No not at all. What you lot don't seem to get is that this isn't a question of principle, its a question of degree. And if you take things to the conclusion of where your club is going, you'll buy up all the talent in the game, while artificially inflating prices for everyone else. One of...

A few years ago, when we were still at the Emirates, the Geordies started signing 'small club in Tottenham, you're just a small club in Tottenham' - genius.
