2nd place in the English Premier League without Mario Balotelli, Jerome Boateng, Aleksandar Kolarov, Wayne Bridge and Michael Johnson.
Without our strongest wing backs and most promising out and out striker, We have brushed aside Chelsea the strongest team, while playing some of the toughest sides in the league.
That shows exactly how strong we are but with foot on solid ground, I believe we are still not finished and predict one big signing along with a few youngsters arriving.
I am quite optimistic about the rest of the season and think we should be looking forward to Champions League football, the only thing that could possibly stop us from reaching the Champions League is a long string of injuries.
With that said I'd like to take a quick look at whats going on over in Merseyside.
On my travels around the world wide web these past 5 months I have noticed Liverpool fans slagging us off and abusing City, now I could not care less about what they think of us but need to put their rants to the test.
They fired comments at us like 'Hope we never have owners like City, they have lost their soul' or 'trying to buy the league and we earned it through hard work' not to mention branding us scum.
Along with Man United fans, Liverpool fans freely forget the only reason they WERE at the top of English Football like United were because of money / investment, everytime they won something it was off the back of cash.
What they should have been saying is hope we don't get owners like United's Glazer family.
They have been protesting against Hicks and Gillett and have finally got what they wanted now that they are getting new owners, how do they feel about swapping one lot of American businessmen for another lot of American businessmen.
Do they feel safe in the knowledge that these businessmen are pretty much the same as United's Glazer family.
They could find themselves in the same position as when United first gained the Glazer family, but they could also find themselves in the same position as United are now later on down the line.
They also should be hoping their owners are like ours instead of sitting up on their thrones looking down as if they are the best in the world, was it not Barcelona who won the last Champions League title?.
It was not Barcelona, it was Inter Milan!
ReplyDeleteGood article 'tho, it's going to be a brilliant season for City.
Ok slight mistake on my part but can you blame me when I have had no real reason to follow the Champions League until City are in it.
ReplyDeleteI mean im not some jumped up glory hunter now am I saying I support more than one club, I mean City are after all the only club worthy of my support.
I stand corrected and show Im not one to shy away from a mistake.
As for anonymous with their branding me some kind of glory hunter suggesting Ive only supported City for 3 months.
Put a 4 after the 3 and change the word month to year and you will be much closer to the truth.
i totaly agree its gettin to easy for people to start hatein city but what have we done wrong relly when we first got taken over we were in need of big changes and we did that what do you want us to do start signin 1 player per year just to keep the rest of the uk if not the world happy when every other club in the uk if not the world would of done the same and the fans would of loved it just as much as we are and if you say you wont then you should not be a football fan and if you start bangin on about money cant buy our history then boxxocks WERE MAKEING OUR OWN
ReplyDeleteI made the first correction about Barca and the Cl, and I totally know why you made that mistake, as Barca were in the final, and Inter played in typical Mourinho style to grind out the win - Barca are a better team all round.
ReplyDeleteThe other poster is a twat for suggesting you're a glory hunter.
I can't say I've come across any new glory-hunting City fans yet, and long may it continue.
If people want to appreciate the City style, fair enough, but not because we're winning trophies.
Keep up the positive work CityBlue, someone's got to challenge anti-City bias or it'll proliferate.
Thankyou, just you airing your opinion is job well done for me.
ReplyDeleteThis is our City is here for all City fans no matter where they are or who they are, every City fan is entitled to their opinion even if it differs from another and thats what Im here for.
So every City fan can have their say.
City have to start winning trophy's and titles before any newcomer to the ranks of our support could be branded a glory hunter.
Truth is I fully support any new City fan no matter where their from in the world, im sure they can live with opposing fans branding them a glory hunter.
