Manchester City Owe Hughes Nothing, City Only Spent What United Forced, Monopoly Broken Again, City Title Win Would Devastate United

QPR defender Clint Hill believes his club will park the bus against us, after beating Stoke by one goal. “Stoke was our game of the season, and now we need to put the whole bus in front of Manchester City and see what happens.”

I'm just intrigued to find out how many of our ex players line up against us, right now the rags in the media are spinning it as we owe Mark Hughes for mistreating him. In my opinion Hughes wouldn't be where he is now at QPR if it wasn't for the chance Manchester City gave him to showcase himself and take the next step up, just like how Stuart Pearce were given the chance to step up thus becoming England's under 21 coach to date.

Manchester City owes Mark Hughes nothing what so ever, if anything Mark Hughes owes Manchester City. Through Mark Hughes Queens Park Rangers have gained more than one player via his time at  Manchester City, Nedum Onuoha, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joey Barton of which two of three served us well and helped keep us in the Premier League.

Hilarious reading that Joey Barton still has some kind of point to prove against us, well maybe not to us but to himself because we all know hes just an average big mouthed Joe. 'Loved watching our club kick the loser waste of space to the curb'.

Queens Park Rangers has a finger in United with the loan of Macheda, clearly having Mark Hughes has it's benefit aye, thanks to his stint at Manchester City. If anyone honestly thinks QPR would have targeted Hughes without his OK but not great stint at City, then they're clearly delusional.

There is no other way to break the elite monopoly than to spend and spend huge, due to United inflating the British transfer market.  1991/92 Paul Parker £2 million, Dion Dublin £1 million, Eric Cantona £1.2 million when most clubs were paying no more than £500.000.

Roy Keane for £3.75 Million in 1993 followed by David May in 1994 for £1.4 million, then in 1995 Andy Cole for £6 million followed by a long line of other players between £1 to £5 million.

Then came the price hike and over inflation of English football, first Jaap Stam for £10.75 million, Dwight Yorke for £12.6 million in 1998, followed by Fabian Barthez for £7.8 million in 2000, Van Nistelrooy for £19 million, Veron for £28.1 million, Forlan for £7.5 million and then Rio Ferdinand for £30 million.

United have spent hundreds of millions on footballers since the reign of Alex Ferguson started. since 1986 Fergy has spent over £500.000.000 and United have been buying glory just like every other elite club.

In 1980-1981 United spent £4.780.000, In 1982-1985 United spent £2.595.000, In 1986-1889 United have spent £14.970.000, In 1990-1999 United have spent £69.445.000, In 2000-2007 United have spent £209.400.000, In 2008-2011 United have spent £61.750.000

The transfer fees of Pique, Possebon, Obertan, Biran Diouf, Manucho, the Da Silva brothers are unknown, Those Known totalling £355.565.000 since Fergies reign. This does not include all of the youth United have poached from other clubs either. Rough guess would be over £600.000.000 in the past three decades.

Makes me laugh when the rags talk about class after trying to publicly humiliate Manchester City on the anniversary of the Munich disaster by claiming our fans would dishonour the lost, only for the whole world to witness the truth and for City fans to represent our club the way we always have done.

So what if we buy titles and trophies and enjoy it while doing so, we're only doing what other clubs have forced us to do.

We should not under estimate the power of knocking someone off their perch, when Arsenal and Chelsea did so United went out and spent big money. So if City or any other club besides United dominated English football for the next say 5 years, United would not just be devastated on the outside but also on the inside.

They have only been able to spend so much because of the Glazers addiction to loaning cash and the clubs revenue, Now that the FFP will kick in it will be harder for United to spend big.  Most of their past income has come from successful runs in the Champions League and Premier League title wins, without that the plastics will eventually become disorientated, disappointed which will in turn affect match day revenue. The debt will increase, even more so if they continue to try compete with Manchester in the transfer market.

Right now all the rags I know and hear are in denial of their clubs situation, they believe they are where they are right now because they deserve to be. They use excuses like how they are and have been missing key men  for most part of the season which is a fair comment, but fail to point out the extreme favouritism they have received from referees when they should have lost and drawn far more games than they actually did.

In my opinion without the help of those referees, United would be fighting with Arsenal and quite possibly Spurs right now. Which is why winning the Premier League title will be all the more sweeter, after decades of bile at the hands if United fans its kind of surreal but uplifting to see us turning the table.

A win over Queens Park Rangers will severely put a spanner in United's works, the only thing I hope is that it is not at the expense of QPR being relegated. It's games like this that put football into perspective, with one club fighting for survival and the other fighting for glory.

I still look back on our relegation days to give me continued perspective, some great memories including all those promotion battles. If I could go back and change the history for our club, I would not change one single thing because our past is what makes us who we are.

Our history grounds and defines us to this very day, the majority of United fans in this day and age have never even experienced relegation or extreme disappointment. But that's all about to change with the eventual departure of Alex Ferguson and a successful Manchester City being the catalyst, we will always have our history to guide us no matter what happens but the same can't be said for United who have for far too long dominated English football with cold hard cash.

On that note you will be happy to know that United and their fans will be wearing Tartan Tea Towels and Table Cloths next season. They can use the Tea Towels to soak up all the disappointment, but the Table Cloths are a bit late because the damage has already been done.

Sunderland's Lee Cattermole has promised United will not get an easy ride at the Stadium of Light, that's the least we expect considering, not that we need their help like United do. The rags be them ex or not are at it again demanding respect, ex rag John O'shea believes they deserve more respect than Mancini has shown Sunderland. When will they ever learn that respect is a two way street aye?, United respect no one what so ever which is why they are detested by as many if not more than their own fan base.

Beat United at the Stadium of Light on Sunday and I may consider showing you the respect you will deserve, lose to United after you have beaten us at your home ground and drawn at ours and you deserve absolutely no respect what so ever.

Good luck to our lads against Queens Park Rangers on Sunday, do us proud like you have been doing and bring home a well deserved Premier League title.

A few stats since the year I were born of 1975: City v Qpr: City wins: 14 Qpr wins: 12 Draws: 15

The highest scoring match between the two clubs were in 1951 which ended 5-2 to City

Keep the Faith!
