I'd like to raise a point. Just the one point.

The below shows the progression of record incoming transfers to British clubs but by one in particular.

2014 £59.7m - #PrayForTiaMaria

2013 £37.1m - Doesn't Mata

2002 £29.1m - Ferdinand

2001 £28.1m - Veron

1995 £7m - Andy Cole

1981 £1.5m - Bryan Robson

1962 £115,000 - Denis Law

Little old City's £32,5m statement of intent of Robinho in 2008 and Steve Daley for £1.45m in 1979 are our only two entries.

The transfer market is becoming stupid. There should be a salary and transfer cap to encourage players to stay, teams to build with what they have etc
You're wrong there mate. City also broke the transfer record when Law was signed from Huddersfield for £55k in 1960. Ruining football even then!

Jesus Christ Pam - why do you keep going on Rag Cafe just to find something to be angry about?
We know they are halfwits - we know that they hate us - what's the fucking point of logging in just to prove that again, and again, and again?
You're obsessed with hating them - so do the rest of us, but you are making a career out of it, and it's getting a bit boring now.

I don't agree. Pam is perfectly entitled to air her views, as are we all. Taking the piss out of the sad twats on dead cafe is good fun, and personally I like to read them.
Surely you have a rough idea of what Pam's posts will be? Just ignore them if they're not to your taste.

Now Vidal & Blind according to Rag Goldstein. Is Blind that good? I've seen a few games for Ajax and I'm not sure he's world class. The way they're panicking indicates to me no top 4 would be an absolute disaster for them.
No, too slow to play leftback, not up to much at centerback and not much above an average central midfielder. I hope they sign him, but with Rojo signed already it would be an odd decision.

Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink was on TV the other day and he came up with the same observation. Blind is too slow to play full back or centre half. The only position he could get away with in the premier league is midfield.

But that's just it - she doesn't take the piss out of the rags, she just gets offended-by-proxy that they take the piss out of us.
I find this limited repertoire somewhat tiresome, but clearly it has found a niche audience in yourself, so good for you.

He's basically a Dutch Phil Neville.

When we were shit the only thing we could really taunt the rags with was the fact that they weren't in Manchester.
Now they're shit the only thing they can hit back with is the empty seats jibe. Some of them are intelligent enough to know its bullshit, but no small number of them believe it as gospel.

Take it for what it is, proof that we are better than them.
