Oh my god the bitterness is palpable.

I love how much everyone hates us! - And the more we win, the more shite will be written and said! Get use to it as we are not going anywhere

That's not actually true though is it? Look at neutrals' video's of us winning the league and you will see how much people DON'T hate us. United fans hate us, but that's fair do's.

Well everyone i know bangs on 24/7 about how we bought the title and that they would have rather seen someone else win it.. Just saying as it see it

Im a Newport County fan and we only just managed to stay in the conference this year. Its no difference as regards to money in our league. The club who gets promoted is invariably the club with most money to spend (Crawley, Fleetwood etc and id love it if someone invested in my club to get us back in the football league and i wouldnt give a fuck what any other club or fans thought. As for you guys any club that can bring in crowds of over 30,000 in league 1 deserves any success that comes your way. I was chuffed to bits for you and dont care how much money you have spent. Good luck to you and carry on spending what it takes to stay at number 1 in England and to get you at the top in Europe too.

Cheers bud, this tends to be the attitude of most neutrals I have met.

As already stated...

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.

My son is 18 and he's supported City with me since he was 5. He is part of a generation of City fans who are amongst the most fortunate of us all. In less than 2 decades they've seen almost everything that the football gods could throw at them. What an education in how to handle success when it finally arrives !

In his time he's experienced the unlikely euphoria of a back to back to back promotion to the PL under Joe Royle, and then the tears of relegation the following season.

He then had the joy of Keegan's great entertainers, The Goat, Ali B etc and the move to Eastlands, hammering the Rags a couple of times along the way. Followed by the realisation that in truth we were unlikely to get any further than mid-table PL mediocrity.

Things got even worse under Pearce, but the roller coaster started moving uphill again for a short time under Sven, only to come crashing down again as Thaksin almost took City into administration.

Enter The Sheikh and the rest is history, but even then under Hughes we briefly flirted with the bottom 3 until Robinho's late equaliser at Ewood Park on a bitterly cold December day.

That generation of Blues is unlikely to forget that things don't always go to plan where City are concerned, but one way or another they've got a hell of a lot to look forward to now. He said to me on the way home from the QPR game "Dad, thank you for making me a City fan". I'll bet that was said by a lot of sons to a lot of Dads that day !

This generation, like all of us before them, has earned it's moment in the sun, and they, like us, we must never, ever forget that we are still City.

I amall confused. Is it money can't buy success or is it experience will? Strange that people didn't think that world cup winner Silva or Champions League winner Yaya or 50+ caps for his country Barry or Belgium National captain Kompany or World Cup finalist NDJ had no experience whereas as Phil who, Chris who, Brazilian twins who, Danny who, Jonny who etc etc did. Ho hum......

 

[jimharri]

Ask him what he won last season.

That is very, very good. If it's your work, I doff my cap to you.
