You think City cared about you? On the day we won away against a Spurs side playing the first home game of the season, with the fans right behind them and Modric back, you think we cared about you when you beat a patched up, toothless Arsenal at home? Delusional!Quote:

What can you say though when you have just got murdered 8-2? He couldn't come out and slaughter them because he needs his other big players such as RvP to stay and not ruin the already dented confidence of his young team which he does have to stick with for the rest of this calender year at least.
The thing i don't get is they obviously have the money, Fab and Nasri didn't go for nothing and Arsneal have been in net transfer profit of about £50 mill+ for years. Too late now for a big moeny signing i think - seriously Ars fans will have to stick by their "in arsen we trust" signs that were on display at OT yesterday.
Also please don't call for his head - that's so fickle after 15 years of management. yes he's never replicated the invincibles but realistically i don't think anyone ever will.
Ignore the poster, it's delusional. Football waits for nobody, Wenger's time is up.Quote:

The board now that Arsenal can splash the cash at any relevant time to buy players that are needed but they would rather let us devoted supporters (the ones that put the most money into the club) suffer.
I also think that Arsenal will be the next MC... we won win nothing for years and years to come then we finally decide to buy good players. But by that time, the kids we have on the team will have enough experience & hopefully will be on top of there game, which will then bring the boards into confuse mode... they will have loads of money and won't know what the **** to do with it...
He actually said 'Championship 2' side and on the topic of Arsenal fans wanting Wenger to go he said 'don't wish away what you want because it don't always work'.Quote:

Tamworth 2-2 AFC Telford
Spirited come back after being 2-0 down!
Missed both due to being at Reading festival :( Roll on Saturday!
Of course City care about United, even on that day they cared. They care because they want nothing more than to out-do their rivals, unfortunately they didn't.Quote:

Also it's interesting you say you're top on the day, that's the kind of narrow mindedness the old Manchester City fan would have, now we look at the campaign as it is really is, a long and tiring campaign where the only standing which matters is at the end of May.Quote:

Sure you may be impressed with a certain performance in the campaign however that's something you must remember, this is a campaign and the end result is the league, not whether you win 8:2 or 1:0. Outdoing for us is now seen as silverware, not the odd result here and there.Quote:

Congrats with the bet, would have been stupid to back Arsenal, even if they were playing well. They ALWAYS seem to let me down in the past :P
