Tottenham are better than us.

[Mancio]

i can see just a truth. lot of wankers here , this is the truth.

Oy Mancio, drop the aggression. So we are wankers for saying we scraped by against Blackpool and Newcastle? its the truth pal, that is all.

this is not the truth at all. its just how you like to see it mate.

Rez, go and pontificate elsewhere you boring twat.

Lump it long Spurs, you can keep em.

You pay remarkable attention to a club you dismiss so easily. I'm not the one attacking an opposition club with such vitriol.

My post was about the idea of class in rivalry. Thank you for reiterating my point so beautifully.

 

[leewill31]

I am frankly astounded by the amount of vitriol on this site!

Surely a club superior to Spurs woulnd't descend to this much paranoia and arrogance.

I've been on a Liverpool site, both before and after today's match and do you know what the overriding sentiment is there? Respect, mutual respect.

It is insane for Man City to hate us this much. We beat you in a cup final nearly 30 years ago and you still harbour a grudge?

We've been beaten by Blackburn, by Man Utd, by Coventry and a number of other clubs in cup finals. There is nothing resembling the quite frankly vicious levels of poison that some City fans spout from Spurs fans towards those who have beaten us. What is it about you people?

We beat you to fourth? Yes, but that's football. We missed out on fourth ourselves a few seasons ago. On the last day of the season. We were beaten by West Ham. Do we hold West Ham responsible? No. We don't like West Ham, true, but not because of that.

Do you know how classless you appear with some of the comments on this thread and the way some City fans behave? Is that what you want? For the dislike that's already built up over the last three seasons to get even worse? I used to like Man City a lot. I used to repsect them for being a historic, long-established side with a true football tradition. And that feeling was shared by may other fans. Now, you've become one of the most unpopular clubs in the footballing world.

Ask. Ask fans of other clubs (Man U doesn't count) and ask them if they like or hate Man City, and you'll see the dislike you've generated.

Is it jealousy? Yes, to a large extent. But when confronted with jealousy, what do many City fans do? Rub it in. Give it the 'big 'un'. Do you believe that that will somehow endear you to the rest of the footballing world?

The almost automatic reaction is 'well, we don't care what the rest of the footballing world thinks about us'. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. If you really didn't care, then you wouldn't have such nasty posts about Spurs or any other club bar Man U.

Let's be clear, we aren't your rival, except in our competition for fourth. We beat you to it last year, fair and square. If you beat us to it this season, then well done. But to suggest that we're cheating is frankly beyond paranoid. Are Chelsea, three points ahead of you cheating? Are Arsenal? Are your real rival, Man U? Do you know how idiotic that sounds?

And this sense of entitlement some of you carry is absolutely insane. You believe that you should be handed the title and the achievements on a plate. Like that City fan who tatooed 'Champions League Winners 2010/2011' on hs arm. If a Chelsea fan or an Arsenal fan or even a Man U fan had done that, how derided would they be?

Having money doesn't automatically mean you'll win. Blackburn won their title not just because they outspent the opposition, but because they had a great manager in Dalglish and worked for each other and believed that they had to work to achieve. The same goes for Chelsea under Mourinho and Ancelotti. And Arsenal. As a Spurs fan do you think I like seeing them win things? But I can acknowledge that they did so by having good players a highly skilled manager, and by working hard.

That's what real winners do - they work. They don't think they can just turn up and be given a result. The attitude of many City fans is that if they lose, or don't do well, then someone has cheated them out of it, and that they shoud have had the result.

You're money alone won't buy you the title. You need the right attitude, on and off the pitch.

I think this is the same disease that spread at Chelsea when Abramovich first arrived. The established fans remained the same, but they were then inundated with a bunch of plastic fans with no respect for football's traditions or respect for the idea of healthy competition.

There are a load of Chelsea fans with no class, no sense of tradition, no respect for the concept of football. Banter has turned into poison. Competition has turned into a verbal violence that undermines the spirit of sport.

Is that what you want for Man City? Is that the way you want to be viewed by other fans? Hateful, poisonous, harbouring a grudge for slights that only exist in your mind?

For those of you who still remember what football is about and understand that Spurs are not in anyway your rival, I salute you and wish you the best of luck. For those of you with a sense of entitlement and an idea that winning is more important than the game, then I hope Man City never win anything - because you (not the club, you the plastic fans) don't deserve it.

a handful of arrogant tossers on a teams forum doesnt speak for the quite majority. and dont confuse the tevez poster as arrogance its was a piss take and a great one that. it had the desired effect and pissed the rags and baconface off.

i watched todays game and loved it. end to end it was a shame one side had to lose.

it was a great advert for the prem. imho

i have to say as a fan of football in general you are spot on there mate!

 

[halpo123]

negative again!! thats a suprise

Not negative mate, just the truth what he is saying, it hurts and it's direct, and so it should fkin be, to many bullshit false dawns at our club, the truth is the truth.

the truth is the truth ffs,he doesn`t see how city can compete! full of fuckin idiots this site
yeah have an opinion but if you constantly slag city off your not a blue in my book and this fucker never even goes.He`s either a red or a moron ,both seems most likely

Please don't quote Rez.....taking me 10 minutes to scroll down.

 

[rez9000]

Rez you patronising gobsh*** ask us where being everyones 2nd fav club got us! Ask us if it made each defeat at maine road any sweeter.

You have some bloody gall coming on here and I can say without doubt a city fan on obe of your forums would get murdered for doing likewise.

You make it very difficult to remain civil.

Rubbish.

The forum I use most has fans from all over the place, we even have an Arsenal fan and his opinion is respected. The one thing you won't find is threads going into hysterics about rival clubs. We don't even have Arsenal threads, except if we're due to play them.

The difference is that we don't define ourselves by what our rivals do. We define ourselves by what our club does.

Even when we banter with Arsenal, it doesn't contain that much hatred, that level of grudge. We've been the poor cousin to Arsenal for decades and we still at least respect the idea of football being a friendly competition.

Can you say the same about some Man City fans and their attitude towards our club?

you are not actually a fan of manchester city but a supporter to mancini so it would be wise of you to lay of the insults.

 

[jay_mcfc]

Fucking Spurs fans calling us arrogant? I've heard it all.

Listen mate, it's simple. For 40 years we've been everyone's second club, loved because we've failed. Well we don't want to fail anymore and thanks to the good Sheikh we are blessed enough to spend what we want on who we want. City fans have found themselves with their backs to the walls with the way the press, pundits, other fans, other clubs etc have been queuing up to take shots at us so all we are doing is backing the club. Some of the press reports of yesterdays game are a joke and with a clear agenda.

I for one am sick of having the piss taken out of us as we yoyo between divisions whilst our main rivals win every trophy in sight. City are back and if our arrogance means fans like Spurs supporters no longer likes us then frankly I don't give a fuck.

And to the OP; are they fuck!!
