I see what you mean. Gill and Ferguson left the same year, so I don't think Gill was as involved in choosing a successor as he would have been. It was the combination of Gill and SAF leaving at once that compounded our post-Ferguson hangover. 6 years and counting...He was in the crowd today next to Southgate.
Didn't Man. United try to get him in 2012 but he'd already committed to Bayern. Remember SAF meeting him in New York and finding that out so he was obviously on the potential list of candidates at one stage.
So we also did the treble in 94 and 2008. The treble treble.Absolutely. The community shield is not a pre season trophy. It signals the start of the new season. Are fans going to say "feck ya we won the community shield" no because its 4th in the pecking order of trophies in the league but still it is an official trophy so if City win all 4 which they did it is quite an achievement.
Absolute negligence. Gill should have stayed another year when he found out Fergus9n was leaving as well.I see what you mean.

It does not make sense not too count it. It is two competitive teams fighting for a trophy. Signals the start of the new season.So we also did the treble in 94 and 2008. The treble treble.
In hindsight yes, but he couldn't have predicted the chaos that followed...Absolute negligence. Gill should have stayed another year when he found out Fergus9n was leaving as well.
It’s a friendly and is treated by such by the teams that participate in it.It does not make sense not too count it. It is two competitive teams fighting for a trophy. Signals the start of the new season.
For that? Jesus, you're severe.tit, should be banned from attending games for life.
Along with the other 20,000?tit, should be banned from attending games for life.
You were rightI predicted 6-0. Still not ruling that out. Watford have history.
Very salty for a Spurs fan. ExcellentI'm so glad we stopped these cheating, plastic cnuts from winning a quadruple.
Enjoy your bought trophies you absolute pack of arseholes.
1 - Its not a cheap blow and there is no need for Spurs to do it. Imagine the outcry if City started using some of the racist shit thrown at our owners as a defence mechanism. Its wrong. It is what it is and in this day and age the club should be moving on from it instead of entrenching themselves in it.1. Yes, a defence mechanism. It was thrown against us as abuse for years and years so we turned it against them and started being proud of our Jewish connections. I'm not going to pretend it's all ok, but plenty of Jewish people (including Levy) don't view it as offensive, it's actually quite a controversial issue. I'd rather it didn't happen but since rival fans still make gas chamber noises relatively regularly, I think we have bigger issues out there and it's a pretty cheap blow you're trying to land.
2. We will invest, once our revenue gets to a level where we can support spending. We've just financed a massive new stadium in order to build our revenue stream up in the future, something City don't have to worry about it because you invent sponsors. It's called building a club up for the long term.
3. Don't give a feck about what Villareal did, it's not the same long term plan that exists at this football club. I have plenty of issues with our owners/lack of spending but it's a helluva lot more commendable than chucking crooked money at a club and pretending it's legit by breaking the rules.
4. When I say no one cares, I mean nobody is impressed by what you're doing. It doesn't feel like it's being done by an actual football club at all, of course it's annoying and bullshit what you're doing to football but you're just part of the weird grey sludge that is the 'sugar daddy fc' brigade. You're not even really Manchester City anymore.
5. Can't do shit in relation to the ridiculous, obscene spending you've both thrown at your clubs. Of course I get wound up, it's fine for you as a fan of City to try and shrug off and justify what you've done, but fans of proper clubs who built their way up with hard work and planning aren't exactly going to be delighted when clubs win a lottery ticket and start throwing crooked money around via inventing sponsors. What do you expect the reaction of other fans to be? Oh yeah it's City again, highest revenue in the league apparently .. get fecked.
I learned the last day saying or singing anything about Liverpool is a capital offence will be blown out of proportion and the offending club should be docked enough points to give them the title.For that? Jesus, you're severe.
You just don't know that. We have no idea what the implications are for clubs like Spurs, Dortmund, etc if oil clubs didn't cause rampant inflation in the market. The fact that Spurs and Dortmund are doing what they're doing using their own resources is admirable. They aren't financially cheating, and thus carry more respect than a typical oil club.if City and Chelsea had never came to be, you'd still be in tier 2.
Bullshit, we didn't bring inflation, prices were going that way anyway. They've been on the up since early 1900's, more money in the game brings bigger prices. Its the big deals that throw prices up, the Neymars, Ronaldo's etc.. once that happens the prices jump huge on worse players but still of high standard. The fact is none of the top 5 most expensive purchases in premier league history are Cities.You just don't know that.

You can’t be on this much if you think people are obsessed with City.Look no further than this thread.
Yes it was even easier than our run with LVG. I didn't think it would be possible to have an easier run than that.Most fraudulent FA Cup win ever? Their run to the final was an absolute joke.
I said oil clubs, I didn't state City specifically. Did I say there was no inflation? No. To put the blinkers on and presume that oil investment didn't contribute to inflation is ludicrous, which is essentially what you're claiming. Chelsea, PSG and other oil clubs have been amongst the biggest spenders since their emergence. In fact top 5 spending clubs since 2010 have been, in order:Bullshit, we didn't bring inflation, prices were going that way anyway.

https://www.skysports.com/football/...sive-premier-league-transfers-in-todays-money Look at the deals, when they were done and the relevant changes in the market. The market jumps on those type of deals.
You said oil clubs were inflating the market. Top 5 spenders don't inflate prices, it you look at the prices the growth generally falls in line with the mega deal's. but in reality spunking £90m on Paul Pogba will drive the market higher than 10 Bernardo's for £40m. Someone bids for Eriksen, he's not gonna say "oh 40m is grand because City paid that for Bernardo". he's gonna say "if Pogba goes for £90m, I was £100m for Eriksen", and so if everyone else.I said oil clubs.

Top Google result. I am sure similar lists exists with different dates.
I challenged your assertion that clubs like City have had no impact on clubs like Spurs and I think it is an absolutely baseless claim and one that you cannot possibly substantiate.
Again, what you're saying is completely unsubstantiated. How does the biggest spenders buying the most players (a scarce resource) not contribute to inflation? And doing so by spending money, money which is not generated by or based on the economics of the game, but comes from an unlimited pool of money, the very definition of inflation... So how are City magically not contributing to inflation? Do me a favour! I can't even begin to describe why that is an economically ridiculous position to take.You said oil clubs were inflating the market.

Barca and United for example are far more guilty of driving inflation in the last couple of years, Barca in particular with the crazy money they've been spending on players. PSG with the Neymar deal too.
Example is Allison and Kepa, goalkeepers don't go for that money but once one does the flood gates are open.
Why would you even sing anything about other clubs, you just won the league??I learned the last day saying or singing anything about Liverpool is a capital offence will be blown out of proportion and the offending club should be docked enough points to give them the title.

100%. Their run in all the cup competitions this season have been ludicrously easy but they still managed to get beaten by Spurs in the CL.Most fraudulent FA Cup win ever? Their run to the final was an absolute joke.
He's not wrong though.Very salty for a Spurs fan. Excellent
Of course the oil clubs brought inflation. The rate of inflation can increase you know... and it has.Bullshit, we didn't bring inflation, prices were going that way anyway.

Your club paid world record transfer fees for multiple defenders in one summer and the same for a goalkeeper, having just paid £18.6m for a goalkeeper the season before.You said oil clubs were inflating the market.

Disagree, they were fine tactically and performance wise until 1-0. They were massively rattled from 1-0 to HT. This was mainly due to City though, I don't think any team wouldn't have been rattled given the intense pressing. Second half they changed tactic to press City high as they obviously needed goals. They got caught on the counter twice for the 3rd and 4th goals as they were pushing for it. Game was done then. The alternative choice at HT was to go for damage limitation which some teams would have done and just took 2/3-0. Watford went for it at least and got into a fair amount of dangerous positions throughout the game but the final ball was very poor.Nah, Watford have been trash.
