One more game against west ham /at home for plucky underdogs manchester City. Will they be able to win or will they fail (again, typical city :rolleyes: )

I see no reason to count chickens, and never claimed we were either plucky, or underdogs.

On Dzeko, noone ever claimed he doesn't score. But he does require 3 or 4 chances to score 1 which is massively frustrating, and when he's not in a purple patch, he barely breaks a sweat and makes no effort for the team.

Never the less, his form in the last month has been his best ever at City, and hopefully he can keep his effort levels where they are and retain his place alongside Aguero next season.

fyi we already did this when we gave Blackburn the title thanks to the greatest performance in Czechoslovakian history.

Sadly we fired Ludo as a coach when big sam took over so I'm not sure it'll happen but Adrian might just have one of his special games.

To you, and luvd, because you're both the loving worst at this: if we acted like we expected the team to win everything before us you'd call us arrogant entitled cunts, but because we still remember the first couple of decades of supporting city everything still seems like the weirdest loving dream. Without having your own club plucked from decades of comical obscurity and catapulted into the elite it's impossible to comprehend.

I think everyone's just freaked out that you've managed to avoid being drowned in plastics yet. A second title might start to speed up the process though.

If West Ham were made billionaires and bought, say, two world-class Argentina players, I'd probably become paranoid.

The modern plastic is a very savvy individual who knows that supporting the very winningest team will be frowned upon. Which is why there are so many Liverpool and Arsenal supporters.

Thats true there were always people who supported Manchester United in order to compensate for some hideous personality flaw, given Party in the UAE maybe those people are choosing City now.

City didn't win the lottery. the lottery is ostensibly a charity that you know, helps people throughout England and the world. City accepted money from literal slave owners and then shat on all sensible financial limits to the extent that now any team that doesn't accept money from literal slave owners cannot possibly compet with them. City have also helped to strengthen the presence and influence of loving Qatar in the footballing world which is terrible for everyone on both a footballing and human level.

I'm sorry that you can't see the difference between interacting at arms length with dodgy third world businessmen, which is certainly still regrettable, and directly depending on slave owners for ALL of your income and contributing to their bid for the world's largest sporting competition.
