Darker shade of Blue said:Dyed Petya said:Clubs like Spurs, Villa and Everton have been the ones outside the top four who've probably performed most consistently over the last few years, and, though we have had excellent support through our dark days, they'd probably claim to be bigger than us - on the grounds that a big club doesn't spend the time we have over the last three decades outside the top flight or in the bottom half of it, or that it doesn't go 30-odd years without winning something. In other words, even if we possibly consider these clubs our peers, some of their fans look down on us a little because we were such a laughing stock for so long.
I think there's a feeling among the fans who think that way that we're therefore undeserving of such a windfall, and that if anyone was going to be handed a free pass to have a go at the top four, they'd be much better candidates. Far from all of the fans of those clubs think like that, but maybe the ones who do also tend to be the ones who are more likely to sign up on this forum when we're linked over a protracted period with one of their players.
Petya , I don't think you give enough credit to the intelligence of many of the lads who visit your forum . I can assure you that some of these lads are forum admins , have kids in the Everton academy , and / or are very sensible and mature people with an indepth knowledge of the game .
With respect , many of us aren't kids , and infact 2 in particular are actually retired that I know of , and know more about both Everton and indeed City than a large section of your own membership here . Yes , there are many idiots that join too , but that can't be helped . It is afterall an unvetted procedure regarding membership here .
City have never been a laughing stock in football .
I think you need to put the relegations into the past now and move on . Many of us were around to witness one of the better periods in City's history , and if you are lucky , you'll get to see another .
It's good to have City as a permanent fitting within the Prem now , with a much better chance of competing and surviving .
Not all of us want you to fail . We simply hope to continue to be successful in our own right . It would be good for some of your fans to realise that many members here regardless of club have forgotten more about football than some of the others have learnt , and not presume everyone is out to put you down .

Simply do not understand this antagonism towards posters from other clubs that post sensibly - saw some stuff thrown at Toffee earlier - yet all I had seen from his posts was reasoned debate
Hope in the main we are better than that because if there is a 'difference of view' and you can not 'win' the discussion through reasoned debate - chances are you are not in the right
why would ned want to go to that s/hithole to listen to that twat with his ukelele siging about history? sorry wont happenDarker shade of Blue said:Bluemoonbaldboy said:Nedum zero chance why sell one of our top performers to a rival?? Had it not been for superman Ned may well have been a candidate for player of the year. we want 2 quality players for each position. Everton know if we come back with a sensible cash plus Jo offer they will have to sell. We don't
That kind of works both ways .

Helmet Cole said:Got to admit I'm slightly twitchy about al thesae other prem'ship clubs being bought by rich arabs. It reminds me a bit of when Franny came in with his £10mil of bog-roll money to save us, and then everyone got the Sky cash, and we were skint again - discuss.
