Tottenham are better than us.

[gooney]

I can completely expect that some Spurs fans can be arrogant but jesus so can you guys! saying stuff like "our place in the top 4 is guaranteed" "Spurs are a rich man's stoke" etc etc you're talking like you're already a "top 4" side that's a right you have to earn we dont even talk like a "top 4" side even though we've finished there. alot of talk like you've a God given right to finish in the top 4, you dont you've gotta work for it just like we did last year. you may well finish 4th and IF you do fair play to you you'll have deserved it. but the extent to which you disrespect oue club is not the same as Spurs fans views of City as a club which is generally that you're a good side and a major threat. are some of us arrogant, yes def! are some of you -yes!

I dont know you, but I hate you. having said that....you are actually right, City fans do talk about themselves as a top four team despite not being one. It does annoy me as well

Why do we hate Spurs?

In general because they're a bunch of classless ***** with all the arrogance of rags without the success to back it up.

And it's not helped by there supporters celebrating a victory over another team by coming on City boards telling us how mean and nasty we are.

Right.

With the greatest of respect, we're not lambasting a team we have no connection with simply because they're doing well.

Every fan can be described as arrogent by those standards. Or are you suggesting that no other football fans think that their club is going to do well? Or that they want their club to win the League or the FA Cup?

We're fifth in the League and have qualified for the Champions League knockout stages at our first attempt with a game in hand. Are we wrong to be pleased about that? Is celebrating success the sole province of Man City fans? Are you saying that if we win something, we should quietly go about our business and not engage in bragging rights?
At no point have I spoken about our respective successes. We have the right to a little arrogance. We are a club that has enjoyed success over the years. Since 1949, the longest Spurs have gone without winning a trophy is nine years. That means we are used to winning things and expect that of our club.

Even in the darkest days of the 90s (after '91), we still managed to win a League Cup. So where is the lack of success you claim? We've won two League titles, eight FA Cups, four League Cups, and three European cups. We were the first club to do the Double in the 20th century, the first British club to win a European trophy, the first British club to win two different European trophies. The only club to win the FIrst Division after winning the Second Division the year before.

This is not a comparison with Man City (let's see if anyone can avoid thinking that it is). What I'm saying is that we have had success. We've won at least one trophy every decade since the 40s. That's a club with a long history of success.

We may not have had as much success as Man U, but we're no failure.

I'm sorry, but I think your definition falls flat.

By all means but not on here.

Tottenham are not better than us.

As a team, as a club or as a set of fans.

I'm not saying they're worse but certainly not better. Last season the team were, now I'd say we were level. Next season... Bye bye.

For Spurs fans, or fans of any other club, to come on here, cherry-pick negative posts and then feign being offended is pathetic, but unfortunately nothing new.

I would be cherry-picking if I said that those posts were indicative of the entire Man City fanbase, which I have repeatedly said isn't the case. Also, I think you'll find I've responded to a positive post (you may want to go over the thread again) and have been nothing but complimentary about your club.

Football rivalry always, even in the bitterest of rivalries, still has a modicum of respect. Even I, as a Spurs fan, show some respect for Arsenal. I dont like them, but I don't lambast them to the extent that some on here have done to Spurs. It's made worse by the fact that we're not even a real rival. Some Man City fans have twisted themselves into the height of rage simply because we havethe temerity to try and gain Champions League qualification. That's seemingly a sin in some people's eyes.

I'm sure some City fans do the same thing on your sites but it's still pathetic. I'd actually have more respect for someone on a wind up but to write a diatribe on how classless we are is, well, classless.

I've seen City fans on Spurs forums and some of them have been pleasant and respectful and some of them have been WUMs. I'm not on the wind-up. I defy you to show that I've been trying to wind anyone up. The only thing I'm guilty of is demonstrating my loyalty and love for my club in the face of some frankly horrific attacks - players that I love accused of cheating. How would you react if you saw Tevez accused of taking steroids on a Spurs site? Would you be pleased?

A lot of us have a dislike of Spurs based on years of experience dealing with your teams, club and fans. We see you as a bogey team and no one likes a bogey team. It's not just because of 1981, it goes much deeper than that. But I'm not going to expand on it any further because I/we don't need to defend ourselves in "our front room".

Now, kindly leave.

I'm not asking you to defend yourself. I'm asking you to refrain from making unfair and unfounded attacks on my club. I'm asking you to live up to the spirit of football.

I'm sorry if we've been a bogey team to Man City. Newcastle have been a bogey team for us over the years. We dont' treat them with that much hatred. What is it about you that wants to focus so sharply on Spurs.

Even now, ahead of us in the League, with billions of pounds at your disposal, you give us this much attention. Why? Are you afraid of us? If you are, then that's a massive inferiority complex you have. If you're not afaid of us, then why the hatred?

Now, if there ever was an unholy alliance, then it's right here!

Yawn.

Both win did we?

Well done.

Go away.

By all means but not on here.

Find me a quote where I have bigged up Spurs recent achievements on this site. Find me a quote where I have gloated over a Spurs victory.

You're generalising, again.

I haven't made one attack on you or your club. I/we are not giving you attention. YOU are coming on HERE so who's giving who attention, exactly?

Oh, and for the record I and we, are NOT afraid of you. We're not even afaid of you either.

I asked politely before, that only happens once...


Fuck off.

[SWP's back]

sadly I must admit that you're right. sadly.

take this opportunity to thank you for your support, really appreciated mate ;)

Mancio, you were the one being abusive, nobody else but YOU. I'm looking forward to SWPs backs reply regarding the Vitriol, Xenophobia and ignorance comments, who could he possibly be talking about as i have heard none of the above, maybe a bit of ignorance depending on which side you stand, but the other two, never.

He gets the same thing from everyone that doesn't agree with him, not a city fan, a Mancini fan (as he is Italian).

The ignorance you agreed with and the vitriol speaks for itself on reply after reply to Mancio.

What's funny is some blues are far happier having a go at him that at fans of other clubs that take it upon themselves to come on here and lecture us.

You still sore from when I laughed at the UFO thread when you sulked off for a bit? It was banter and nothing personal.

That's not the point. You said that I shouldn't gloat about Spurs on this site, which I haven't.

I do have the right to defend my club, however, wherever that happens to be.

If people don't want to be criticised then they should behave in a befitting manner. Slandering professional players who play for another club with no proof nor even the first indicator of a crime isn't befitting. Or do you believe that that basic tenet doesn't apply to Man City fans?
