All the new players that sign for Abu Dhabi FC, have that same optimism ''i'll help the cclub, i'll help the team mates, i'll revolutionise this club - I'LL CHANGE THW WORLD BY PLAYING FOR CITEH!!''

But a season into playing for the Berties they realise tthe folly of joining them in the first place! Look at Milner, all smiles and laughs when joining - Superman (Ireland) warned him about there being no loyalty at Citeh - but he didnt listen, now he isnt even in the first team!! And Tevez of course, HATES the Moonies with venom! And Boeteng - ah! Such promise , shame we didnt even get to see him PLAY!!! Joining Abu Dhabi FC is a poisoned chalice, just ask the names above...and more besides!

What a joke of a club!

Hahahahaha.
That's just fucking laughable.
And some on here still think certain sections of the media, especially that rag comic, don't have an agenda? That anyone who argues otherwise is just paranoid?
Do me a favour. The evidence is right there, staring you in the face.

On a side note, our new kit is really, really shit, isn't it? It even looks bad on Kun.

Completely agree mate how some deluded fookers on this forum still deny an agenda is beyond me as well. Sadly I also agree about the home kit as well it's mediocre at best.

Roberto Mancini must deliver NOW, says Steven Howard
NO EXCUSES ... City boss Mancini has to battle for the title

STEVEN HOWARD - Chief sports writer

ROBERTO MANCINI caused a few lower jaws to hit the deck in Los Angeles last week.

It was the moment the Manchester City boss said: "Right now, we aren't ready to compete for the title."

He then added: "Maybe in two weeks we will be."

Well, there can be no excuses now. If City are not ready to contest the title after their latest bit of transfer business then they never will be.

On Wednesday their transfer outlay in the Sheikh Mansour era headed towards the £400million mark when they splashed a club record £38m on Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero.

The Argentine international became the TENTH player on whom City have spent more than £20m - EIGHT of them signed by Mancini in the greatest spending spree in history.

The others are Joleon Lescott (£24m), Alexsandar Kolarov (£20m), James Milner (£24m), David Silva (£26m), Yaya Toure (£24m), Emmanuel Adebayor (£25m), Mario Balotelli (£24.5m), Edin Dzeko (£27m) and Carlos Tevez (£25m).

This is not an anti-City rant. This is just a relaying of the facts.

In comparison, Manchester United have just three players costing £20m-plus - Dimitar Berbatov (£30m), Wayne Rooney (£30m) and, way back in 2002, Rio Ferdinand (£29m).

Chelsea have four - Fernando Torres (£50m), Didier Drogba (£24m), Michael Essien (£24m) and David Luiz (£21m).

Arsenal, the last of the Champions League qualifiers, have... NONE.

On the Continent, Champions League winners Barcelona have four - David Villa (£38m), Alexis Sanchez (£33m), Dani Alves (£23.5m) and Javier Mascherano (£22m).

In fact, the closest any club comes to City are Real Madrid with six - Cristiano Ronaldo (£80m), Kaka (£55m), Karim Benzema (£32m), Xabi Alonso (£28m), Angel di Maria (£21m) and Lassana Diarra (£20m).

What does it all mean?

Well, for one, Mancini can hardly get away with a statement like: "Teams like Manchester United and Chelsea don't need to buy six players - they only need two or three.

"Maybe next summer we will only need two or three."

If any team does need a clear-out then it probably IS Chelsea. While City can hardly fit any more signings into their squad.

Second, if I was a Manchester City fan I would be seriously upset if they DIDN'T so much challenge for the title as win it.

Apologies for repeating myself but Jose Mourinho won Chelsea's first championship in 50 years in his debut season at Stamford Bridge.

He then repeated the feat 12 months later.

City fans point out that Chelsea were far closer to the finished article when Mourinho arrived than was the case when Mancini pitched up at, well, whatever they call their stadium these days.

And yet Mourinho still had to integrate Petr Cech, Paulo Ferreira, Drogba, Tiago and Arjen Robben into the side he found at Stamford Bridge.

So Mancini has had his bedding-in time.

Yes, he ended 35 years of pain when City won the FA Cup last season (then, again, Portsmouth won it in 2008).

And City fans, who have endured so much for so long in United's shadow, are more than happy to be breaking the barriers down one by one, season by season.

But now the time has arrived.

With or without Tevez they will be expected to make a serious challenge this season.

If they don't, something will be seriously wrong.

This is not an anti-City rant? Could have fooled me.

I don't know why anybody gets that paper apart from when you.
a) run out of toilet paper
b) wrap chips in it
c) start a fire
or
d) roll it up and swat flys.

The funny thing is my brother in law works for them

HeeHee and he's a rag
