First it's "money can't buy you success"
Suddenly - "money bought you success"
Let's not kid ourselves, money bought us a CHANCE, and we took it.
As for neutrals - I think the majority were glad someone else won it for a change, but they feel a bit uncomfortable (at best) or distinctly unimpressed that it had to be a money bags club.
Our previous good favour with other fans is slipping, and will continue to do so - it's the way of the world once you start winning things, and more so if you have money to help you along the way.
I was mindful during the past few seasons that my son probably wouldn't fully appreciate the City us older fans do... not his fault, but his experience of City won't be the same as mine. He's used to winning now - where as I'm still slightly jaded!
We need to remember, and teach our younger fans that we HAVE been dire in the past. We've not always had bragging rights, and to remain respectful towards other fans who are in the same position we were in not so long ago.
IF we can do that that my friends - THEN we will be true champions, and not just THE 2012 PREMIER LEAGUE WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very important for both young and old to remember this.
If we do, we won't become like the arrogant tossers we despise.
