Declan Rice

Fuck em, City fans have no need to cozy up to these cartel club fans.

Hearing a different perspective isn't necessarily "cosying up" is it.

The forum is more interesting when there's a diversity of opinion and ideas on it. When any opinion other than "City are the bestest team in the whole wide world and I hate everyone else" gets shouted down with "fuck em", it becomes fucking boring. "fuck em" adds nothing, nothing to the conversation. I'd have sympathy if they were actually wumming but they're just expressing a mild mannered Arsenal perspectiveand people act like they've killed someone, it's pathetic.

Someone better tell City, they have been speaking to West Ham today.

If you read between your posts, If true like you said pep spoke to Rice and today City are speaking to West Ham it only means one thing?=

Fans who talk of their clubs' history and tradition are, IMO, ignorant, especially when they attempt to make their club out as more worthy than another. To all fans, their club has a history. Who is to judge if winning leagues fifty years before is any more valid than a club who had nothing but a couple of hundred fans and a corrugated roof on a stand that drenched the loyal?

Absolutely...every club has history, never mind professional clubs but the likes of Darwen and Prestwich Heys, any **** who talks about HISTORY of their club is a ****, EVERY CLUB however small has history...

They invariably talk about 'recent' history. It's all bollocks.

There‘s very little evidence that our fans were celebrating back in March. We‘ve had too many occasions in the past when early hopes were subsequently dashed. If you look at my posts all season, you will see I was always clear a title win was unlikely given the relative weakness of our squad and the over dependence on key players who if injured we couldn’t cover for. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your prejudice, eh?

Below is my post from October last year in the Arsenal thread:

You’re right to point to our lack of depth and the over dependence on key players who if missing through injury would badly impact our performances and that is why the league in reality is highly unlikely. I suspect we might have a better prospect therefore with the Europa League but even that is difficult. Our goal is top 4. Anything else is a bonus. Were we unable again to secure champions league football, the season would be seen as a failure.

I need say no more.

I had to try and reign one of your lot in after fourteen games (I remember it, but not who) because I had to put the fourteen in capital letters to emphasise the point. Giving it large about Saka, Martinelli and, especially, Saliba.

I'm only liking your post so you can get above that Hackett fella......

If he only wants to go to Arsenal and they are bidding against themselves, you have to ask why the deal isn't done?

We have been waiting on Phillips. He knows we are prepared to let him leave.

Kalvin might want to stay, but it's being made clear he won't get many opportunities again next season.

The thing is though he will make a fairly reasonable post and half the board gets wildly offended and calls him a **** and says fuck off for no reason. Certain City fans have become hyper sensitive with success. It's gotten so opposition fans can't even come on here and offer a perspective, makes the board a poorer place.

Yeah I'll mostly go along with that.
In this instance however,instead of backing off a little he's incited it a bit.

Sensible opposition fans(and J.H usually is)are more than welcome,as far as I'm concerned.

I'm trying to recall a player that Wenger was after and Arsenal refused to pay a few quid more to sign him
