Well it's pretty hard for us to defend that performance lol absolutely rubbish.

It really makes you wonder what Carrick has done to piss the FA off considering he's been Uniteds best player this season, how Cleverly got in the squad I have no idea.

Yes it was Arshavin (well he was quite vocal about it anyway). The "Beckham" law was rescinded before Ozil moved to Real Madrid so he'll be paying over 40% tax in Spain (I think it's 43% but not 100% sure)although since the UK added the 50% tax rate his take home would be slightly higher over...

It's funny so many City fans see our strict wage as a massive barrier to competing at the top level but seem to think we've "splashed out plenty over the years". Transfer fees are a small part of most clubs spending, like I said in the thread earlier for the last 10 years we've always had a wage...

I don't care, I know you City fans are very sensitive about this and I really didn't join this forum to discuss what an Arab Prince decides to do with his familys money. If you really think the "investment" made in Man City is value for money then that's fine but no football clubs really don't...

Or pouring petro dollars on the big ol' fire that is a football club.

Granted Harry does go on about it too much but he never shuts his mouth about anything :-) I'm not sure Levy talks about it or anything else for that matter to the press too much and when he does surely that's part of his job as chairman (balancing the book that is not making excuses for not...

This has been the case in the 25 years I've been supporting Spurs, it's nothing new. Any club without external artifical funding has to balance their books resulting in salary caps (whether that's per player or for the squad as a whole), I'm not having a go at City here but you're basically...

Indeed add in Cudicini and you've got the basis of a balanced team.

I don't know the details of this transfer but the way transfer like this work for Ltd. companies is that both players are traded at a value, so in this case I'm presuming Milner was bought for £24m by Man City and Ireland was bought for £8m by Villa. If you inherited a diamond necklace worth...

There has been no massive growth in our wages, the 2011 accounts on first sight would seem to indicate this but it's due to the bonuses activated by our league position and CL qualification. If we hadn't of qualified then there would have been no significant increase in wages. When the next set...

I don't know about Dunne, Cole, James and Distin as I honestly can't remember what was said in the press back then but what Harry is so often lambasted for isn't against any rules. That being said it's pretty pointless and doesn't help anyone (The player, Harry, Spurs, the players club) except...

We have a massive 7% less passes per game than you at a success rate of 85% compared to 85.6%, have you ever actually watched us play? Yes we use wingers to stretch teams but that doesn't mean we don't play possession football or use players in the middle otherwise Modric and VDV would be...

I see what you did there… Using averages means that we are seen as bigger spenders over the last 20 years (although you reduced it to 10). Yet over the last 20 years or so, I would think that in the vast majority of those seasons your players have been paid higher wages and you have spent more...

I think that's all pretty fair Spending wise (wages and net transfer spend) we've been about 6th-7th in the league over the last 10 years which on average is about where we've been so it's not so much disappointing as mediocrity. Should we have won a cup more or maybe achieved another 4th place...

Ok let’s go through this 1. Win vs Newcastle 2. Draw vs Liverpool 3. Win vs Wigan 4. Loss vs Man City 5. Draw vs Wolves 6. Win vs Everton 7. Win vs West Brom 8. Draw vs Swansea 9. Win vs Norwich 10. Draw vs Chelsea Last 6 games = 11points = 1.833r ppg x 25 = 46points Last 8 games = 15points =...

The form over any of our last 6,8,10 games if replicated over the season to this point would have us in 3rd, exactly the position we're in now. What exactly do you want to discuss out of that?

The problem is that report has the top speed players for most clubs maxing out at 22.37mph which kind of suggests that their testing was dubious to say the least. If you've actually watched Sandro for any number of games you can tell he isn't slow and certainly not as slow as someone like...

I didn't see Soccer Saturday and it's stupid questioning City rather than Utd as being a great side. I'm a Spurs fan and honestly it's not the press biasing towards us as a club they're just biased towards Harry and have been for a long time. When we were doing well with Jol back in 2005 or so...
