It's the thread you all knew was coming...

[lBlue]

OK, just to start off I'll make it clear that if you want a decent review of what I thought of the game close this and
check out the weekly mathchday thread. I don't want to create arguments however if you do, do so on your own
behalf - not mine. After all, it wont be me starting it. Done, made it clear.








Today we played Arsenal. The side which many of you tried to mock me for when I was giving banter to the Arsenal fans.
I was saying City will overtake them in a number of months/seasons. Many of you couldn't see this and laughed, you said
we need to buy defenders, we'll conceed too many goals, we have too many strikers, we could field a starting line up of
strikers. Well today City proved why I was giving the banter to the Arsenal fans. We dominated the first half. They
dominated twenty minutes in the second half. We scored four. They scored two. Simple maths really eh?

I would just like to ask the following people (if you decided to read this thread, I did warn you that this thread wasn't
going to be my full judgement of the game) if they'll still write me off when I give banter to the clubs which I fully
believe we could harm.

Let's put it this way,

Money city won't win the league with Mark Hughes in charge. If you had someone like Mourinho then fair play your in there.

Cisse, still going to write off City? Do you still believe we wont be able to challenge the "top four" with Hughes in
charge? Be honest.

*Removed*
Mourinho = better manager than Hughes, which = managing the team better, which = team plays better, which = players have more confidence in the manager.

Not hard.

I must say, you've been alright since the Wolves game. I believe most of your posts were a bit of banter aimed at trying to
wind me up in the running up to the Wolves game. However I will ask you the same thing.

Do you really believe Mourinho could get more out of this current city team? The side which has won all the games they've
played in the PL this year, the side which just beat Arsenal 4:2? Come on be honest.

I never used to notice someone so *Removed* in the sports forum before, maybe the money has gone to your head. Also, don't patronise me, just because I never used to post as much doesn't mean I'm not active.

I think if anyone will challange, it will be Everton as they haven't sold anyone big yet like AV, and they also have the 3rd best manager in the league imo. City will do well next season.

Come on, can you remove the red tinted specs for a little bit and answer honestly?

You hit Everton the same way Flintoff used to hit a cricket ball. Moyes ruined his dressing room trying to keep Lescott,
that was an idiotic move from the "third best manager in the league". Anyway, do you now finally believe that City could be
a very hard challenge next year? MAYBE even this year?

I laugh at these young naive city fans, your players arent exactly to the calibre of chelsea's in terms of having money to burn so I dont exactly see why you think your team is anything special, the players you have bought are ok at best. Ade banged in an 30 for us once but turned into a bighead with interest from milan and that turned him into a stuck up ego driven lazyboy so Im glad hes gone, was gutted about toure but vermaelen had a cracker today.

Comne back to us arsenal fans at the end of the season ladies x

The other posters so far I've handled a fair amount of respect for. You? You called me naive. You? You called me young in
a derogative manner, making it sound like I know nothing about the game. You? You called me a lady.
You? You told me to come back to you at the end of the season.

Do I still need to come back to you? Even after today? Yes we're a number of games in however you honestly can't still
believe we wont be a harder challenge than you believed?

I believe everyone who decided to read this thread will be able to state who the naive and "young fan" is.

We're second, what's your point Blue?

Ahhh the grime boy. See "Lethal Bizzle" on Soccer AM this morning? Yer well that has nothing to do with this topic.
I wont say anything about your post, I believe it's best left untouched.

chelsea built a team, all positions. not just offensive minded players. city have had a crap tour and will be mid table this season.

Aha, finally lost our clean sheet run today. I see what you mean... I honestly do... No really, I'm telling the truth.

:L pretty dumb imo but thats manchester for you

PMSL. I'm undecided. Shall I leave this post or shall I look into it? I'll leave the quote here, it speaks for itself.

City will fail, mark my words. These "good" players all have different styles and they haven't planned out a clever strategy

Hughes has Marked your words and will get back to you in the next 48 hours.


I'll leave this thread with the Adebayor celebration, before someone mentions anything about the West Ham game I suggest
you read the matchday thread.

One last thing, I'm fully aware someone will try and use this thread in the future. Possibly next week. I'll state now, this is not me saying City are going to be unbeatable etc. This is me asking those fans who said City wont be too much of a challenge if they still believe that.

4:2

And that's why you should of read it or as I stated read the matchday thread for my opinion on the game... :rolleyes:.

[Andys]

why would i want to waste about 15 minutes of my time reading what you've wrote to try and convince me that you will break into the top 4.
it's 5 games in geez, we're 6th *** spurs are second. just because you've had a good start don't mean you're gunna break into the top four, look at hull last season.

Please stop posting in here if you don't have the courtesy to read the first paragraph. This thread wasn't for that. Now please either leave or read it properly then post...

I find it ironic how you ended with the following

COnsidering your ignorance throughout the whole post.

It's not ignorance, it's asking the people if they still believe in what they believed at the start of the season...

At least you read it though before posting, so I shall thank you for doing that.

Isn't that little disclaimer basically you saying you don't think it'll last though? Losing one match is upsetting for a club I'm sure but it doesn't mean that the side they lose to are a challenge, just an obstacle in the real challenge

Not really. No club can be unbeatable. I'm just asking those people if they still believe that we wont be that big of a challenge.

Just got back from the game, and what a game it was. Arsenal could have easily nicked the game at the end when they hit the post twice and if it wern't for Shay Given they would have drawn or possibly won.

I know a lot of people will start going 'it was only one game, hardly means you will break the top four'. Well just let us City fans be happy for once, eh? We've just beaten Arsenal with a side that is now looking to be in the top six, and if we work hard enough, we could try to push for the top four. We have the players we need on the field, and we have the players we need on the bench.

Bring on the Derby!
