I feel that way about Yanited, CSKA Fulham and Spurs are a distant third. City fans are beginning to make me feel the same way about them as other shower in Salford

The problem a lot of people have with City and Chelsea is that their money wasn't self generated. Every club has 'bought' the title, but City and Chelsea have taken it to another level that doesn't sit well with other fans...

This, exactly.


I'm hoping success comes to a club in the Premier League, a little like what's going in with Atletico at the moment.


In that respect, and as Spurs fan, i'd rather Arsenal won the league in front of Chelsea and City.

In what way have other clubs "self generated" ? United floated on SE in 1991 and have used that PLC staus to "borrow" to buy players and are seriously in debt.

ST holders have to also pay automatically for cup games, they have now (I believe) stood down on charging CL prices for Europa games-but only after a lot of ST holders saying bugger that. (A little known fact-ST revenue is 67%+ of club revenue)

Our latest record signing is Sergio Aquero for ?38m in 2011, United paid over ?30m for Rio in what year ? Inflation would mean Rio is worth ?300m+. United are paying "turn up if I feel like it" Rooney ?300k p/w- City aren't paying anything like that on 1 player.

This "You've got the oil money behind you" is irksome- like for like City have paid very little

Individual one-off player fees isn't the issue though is it? I've found that it's fairly typical of City fans to massage the facts to suit in recent years (I have a couple of close friends as city fans).


The HALF A BILLION spent over four seasons 2008 - 2012 and the massive wages paid to a large number of players, is what irks. No club, not even Chelsea comes close to that.

Give me bloody strength.

Check facts before plucking {Daily Mail} figures out of the air.

Investment of around ?565m has been made since 2008, football terms drop in the ocean-Sheikh Mansour IS worth billions but that isn't a blank cheque book.


Glazers floatation on NYSE was hoped to raise ?900m, it didn't.


There has been multi millions of pounds put into grass roots and local community football by MCFC. Have you seen what Etihad campus is becoming ? No, thought not.

Yes, we have bought players-who hasn't ?

If you want to give something back to the community, how about paying back all the money to the council tax payers of Manchester that was spent on building the Council House, thus owning it outright instead of the peppercorn rent you currently pay.

I'll reply to your other 'points' another time, there's a beer with my name on it :)...

As for sudden riches, i have sympathy for city fans who are used to being, well, lets face it, shit for quite a long time.

It probably sits a little uneasy all this success and wealth, i know it would if something similar (icelandic biscuit magnates don't count) happened at west ham.


Still be preferable to a bunch of porn merchants, a cyncical manager of the brutalist school of football and Karen bloody Brady!

So is iot just the FA Cup final against your lot that makes you hate Gerrard? Can't see anything that makes him more or less hateable than most other players to be honest. And he certainly doesn't deserve to be lumped in to a group with bloody Terry!!!



I think most neutrals want Liverpool just for the way they've played this year.

Daily Mail facts? There are plenty of websites that are very easy to find that present full transfer histories.


Everybody has bought players, but only one club spent anything approaching ?500,000,000 on players in 4 seasons.


Yes I know exactly what you're doing with your academy and training facilities- once complete it will be the only complex in the world better than Tottenham's.


?500m in four seasons,a drop I the football ocean? Name one British club that's spent anything approaching that in the time frame. You bought one title and one cup (which in itself is a laughably bad return on that 'investment'). If the FFP rules had been brought in 7 or 8 years later you'd be nowhere near where you are now. Success was bought with no solid foundations- nothing built. At least United's success of the last quarter century was based on a successful youth system, initially.


United under the Glazers is a very different thing to United pre- Glazers. Put the bitterness aside for one second and admit that you simply bought success In a similar to Chelsea but just I a slightly more vulgar way.


The Sheik's net worth is precisely zero consequence to this argument. How much he's spent is.

Not really - I WANT to say it's his face - just his bloody wrinkly-foreheaded permanently whiny fecking face (and voice) - but it's more than that. It's just him, the whole package, the way he has conducted himself and the sh*t he has come out with over the years - can't be specific he just gets up my fricking nose.


Agreed he is not in same league as Terry and I wasn't making a comparison so much as giving reasons for a 'fantasy footy finish'. I probably dislike him like I dislike Lampard - that still puts them both a league or two above the Terry level.

Go and wash your mouth out with carbolic soap and water. As a Spurs fan your dislike of Chelsea should be a smidgeon less than the Goons.

The game's changing Jah- 10 years ago it would have undoubtedly been the case- but I have a grudging respect for them now- the times of hating someone just because i'm 'supposed' to is behind me. The banter with gooners is still good for a laugh, but irrational hatred is a thing best left in the 20th century. I like good reasons for hating football teams now- city and chelsea have that in spades.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
