Oh my god the bitterness is palpable.

Why post this, we live this every day?
Have you got the answer you was looking for?

Come again?

pardon!

Ask him what he won last season.

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

Fine piece of work but shouldn't it be 2011?

How much are the rags in debt?

Apparently you can't buy the title!!!!!

They're obsessed.

always have been, they have always feared us, even when we dropped two divisions they knew it was only a matter of time that our huge fan base would attract a very rich owner.

i feel for them.

I've just been on historicalkits.co.uk, and have a look what this bellend has wrote about City in the upcoming season kit space, they don't even have the kit pics up yet, so it's clear he could'nt wait to spew his bile here.

Anyway here is the quote from raggaty mcbitter:

"Having invested a reported £970m since taking over the club in 2008, the Abhu Dhabi United Group has simply outspent their Premier League rivals to deliver the title. Few outside the red part of Manchester would begrudge City their first championship in 40 years but this is the equivalent of playing the "unlimited funds" cheat in the management sim of your choice".

dear oh dear!

There isn't one. There's a red part of Stretford, or Singapore, or Shanghai, but not a red part of Manchester.

What a bitter bunch

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.

After QPR both my teenage lads told me "thanks for making us blues". I then texted my Dad exactly the same! He wanted to text his Dad but sadly he was watching from the stand with no name...the one with all the blues who no longer are with us watch from....the stand where Joe, Malcolm, Neil and Mike were watching from. I'm so proud of our big blue family. CTID.

Ask him what he won last season.

based on the turnout, for a moment i thought it was the parade for their 19th title.
