that face. so many punches missing.

Chelsea have a identity which goes beyond their money, City doesn't, not anymore.

 

[Gervais]

still a better club than chelsea imho

 

[jones]

For all of Chelsea's faults - of which there are ****loads - they at least managed to build some sense of relevance by having long-serving players like Drogba, Terry, Lampard, Cole, Cech etc. in their team. You point to those as all-time Chelsea greats.

Of course you would call them Chelsea greats, half of them have been around since the inception of their club 12 years ago.

 

[Jury]

I find it difficult to hate the other Manchester club. I'm not bitter about oil money, or 'financial doping' either. Never have been. Every club takes their own route to creating their history, and we took ours. It will always be 11 v 11. Yes, we'd have a few more titles on the board if it wasn't for them, but that's life. If I had a 12" dong at 17, I might have considered porn. 8" didn't cut the mustard. Meh.

They didn't really sell their soul to be fair they had nothing to begin with. Any club in City's position would be delighted to take the investment its the only way they were ever going to become relevant. Wasnt too long ago they were in Division 2 and were a typical yo-yo club. Don't fault them anymore than I fault your average lottery winner just be thankful Abramovich or the City owners didnt land at Sp**s.

 

[Nyctophobia]

I used to feel like City was a sort of charming club before the oil, just a nice, alright club and then they got money and became snobby, actually liked them a bit before all that though.

With Agüero, I hate the idea of him; the guy that snatched the 20th title from our hands but I adore the player and him as a person. He's been very loyal to City in such a money orientated era of football.

Likewise for Silva, I simply cannot dislike the guy. He's such a special talent and for me; the most elegant player to watch in the League


If I had to rank our rivals it would be:

1. Liverpool
2. Leeds
3. City
4. Arsenal
5. Madrid

 

[juice man]

Don't mind City simply because I hate United so much.

Rank them 10 or 15 years ago, City drops down massively, maybe behind Blackburn and Newcastle.

Agreed on Aguero and Silva, amazing players, classy gentleman despite playing for a scumbag owner.

Likewise for Silva,

i love them both, but they are on money that no other team in the world can pay, plus im sure both have new "assets" and "financial adventures" going on in the middle east, Just like Toure; PSG and City have unlimited resorces to retain players, so moneywise there is no better place to be, and footballing wise you are playing CL year after year and probably winning things. No reason to move.

Yeah I hear you but the modern day players (Rooney for example) if not actually transferring to a bigger club use their transfer links for bigger contracts and what not. Aguero simply out right rejects other teams and declares his loyalty.

How are Madrid a rival?

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

How are Madrid a rival?

In a marketing brand perspective.

Plus the ****s took Ronaldo, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy, Heinze and gave us Di Maria for 57m.

I'm a bit salty about that. It's a self-proclaimed rivalry between Madrid and I.

Seems a fair fight, but I think you can take 'em.

 

[jones]

At least you're being honest I guess. You're in no means a special snowflake though, Real take pretty much everyone they want from every club in the world not named Barcelona.

 

[BobP]

TBH all of those sales are pretty logical.

Heinze was ****, RVN was like 30 at the time and you got a good fee for him, Beckham was never that good of a player, could argue that you could have gotten more for him from perspective of his marketability and you received a, at the time, world record fee for Ronaldo.
