City are the neutrals' favourites

Most successful club in England over the last 4 years.
Ask them how it feels spending £83m on transfers and still dropping from 1st to 7th because all their decent players are now past it and the only manager to bring them any success in the last 40 years has gone.

Ask him what it felt like to lose 3-0 at home in the derby to a City team which cost less than theirs.

Ask him how it feels getting hammered 6-0, 4-1 and 3-0 by your city rivals when they're supposed to be a world class team.
 
Hi fellas, neutral Evertonian here and first time (ever) poster!
Firstly, good luck on Sunday as I for one (of most of the country) hope you go on to win it. Don't take all the negative press and bias media coverage so personally . We've had to put up with it for years, the only difference being the darlings of the british media like selling our players for us whenever we get too big for our boots! City don't have to put up with this crap anymore as you are definitely a buying club but I'm sure it's happened in the past.
Chelsea had to put up with the jealousy for years but have now been accepted as one of the big boys so have been given a pass. Win the league a few more times and it won't be a money issue anymore. It'll just be the fact you keep winning the bleeding thing.
I've always found it quite ironic that other fans moan about the Arab squillionaires pumping endless money into "that citeh". Because apart from the obvious enjoyment of seeing your team being successful , we still live in the same houses, drive the same car and pick up the same shitty wages each week ! We all secretly yearn for a mega rich takeover but if one doesn't come along we carry on supporting our teams regardless like we always have done. Unfortunately most fans judgement is clouded by past success (or delusions of success) and can be quite petty.
So just enjoy everyone and don't go winning that champions league thing next year or peoples heads will begin to spontaneously explode (in certain areas of the country).

Good luck boys (and girls)

Tell him it feels fucking wonderful, and then wonder why you give a fuck what a swamp donkey thinks anyway!!
 
It is kind of surprising that we remain the neutrals favourite seeing that most people would usually support the mid-table team who used to be a major force in the game and who are having a surprisingly good season. The thinking is normally 'It's just nice to see the usual suspects being challenged by a side no one expects to be there'; examples in the last 20-25 years including Leeds United, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United. Perhaps we should applaud the season they have had before they sell their best players to stronger sides like Stoke and West Ham and return to the obscurity in which they feel most comfortable.

Ask them what it's like to have the highest paid player in the Premiership pimping himself out to his fiercest local rivals to double his wages, yet still win fuck all and miss out on Champions League football?
Or paying more for some **** who looks like an explosion in a prosthetic limb factory than we paid for Silva or Aguero.
Or having an overdraft the size of a small country?

People aren't stupid. They can see a stitch up when it's right in front of them, and they can see hypocritical whingeing too. Fans loathe the sense of entitlement in the elite, and the smug arrogance over years on end. City are still the upstarts who have ruined their party, and they quite like that, and just wish it had happened to them. If City are dominant over years on end, then that will undoubtedly change. But one of the ironies about the whole situation (and quite a few have noticed this) is that it is City fans who are raising their objections about the closed shop and how it affects them, and that it's simply wrong. Quite a few have mentioned in various places that Arsenal, United and Liverpool fans didn't give a stuff about the lack of a level playing field 10 years ago, and their bleating now is just self-serving.
