Good old City..
What the fuck?
Moderators: Benn, Calix, senji
Yeah it's still kind of hard to believe. In the space of a day they get bought by Arabs then make £35m offers for David Villa, Berbatov and Robinho hoping to get at least 1 out of 3.
It's going to be md seeing Robinho playing for them, he's pretty tasty. But probably hoping someone else signs him in january.

Yeah Just read that while eating my cornflakes, had to read the headline a few times to make sure i wasnt being a moron.
Its crazy, as is the 15million Everton spent on that player, ok just because ive never heard of him dosent make him rubbish..but it seems a panic buy.

Its a shock buy, but to be honest, its quite good.
Ive been "following" Villa and Spurs last few years, and its quite good to see them, along with Everton and Pompey having a plan to break the top four, no ones mentioned winning, but an aim of a top four finish is fairly realistic, consistency is the biggest problem.
So, if Man City can grab a few decent players It'll make watchin Match of the Day a bit more interesting. Better that Celtic/Rangers dominating ever year in Scotland, Hearts a few years under Burley/19 other managers were close to breaking the top 2, infact they did, you could argue they may have one it if they didnt have behind the scenes trouble, added alot to the league so the premship just got a little bit more interesting.
Also Nix i can already sense the Gers post comin, fu in advance.

Must be nice knowing you're the second biggest club in Manchester.

Rubbish. Your judging Hearts on a 10 game run - at a time when both Rangers & Celtic were down sizing. Hearts under George Burley or not, would not have been able to maintain the momentum for any considerable period of time. The problems within our league are a mixture of so many problems outside of the Rangers & Celtic domination.Better that Celtic/Rangers dominating ever year in Scotland, Hearts a few years under Burley/19 other managers were close to breaking the top 2, infact they did, you could argue they may have one it if they didnt have behind the scenes trouble, added alot to the league so the premship just got a little bit more interesting.
It does however make the Premiership a bit more interesting outside of the top 4, with more teams being able to throw their weight around. I can't see this being good for the game though, english football is already fucking over other countries as it is.
And yeah, this will just lead to more wage inflation for players, which will lead to higher ticket prices, and the game becoming even further removed from what it once was.
I'd take the lower standards of the Bundesliga any day if we could have that kind of league, ie ticket prices.
I know it's been happening for 10 years or so now, and city getting taken over isn't anything new, but it is a another step in the wrong direction for English football. I'd say especially worrying for a club like Liverpool actually due to their financial situation. In danger of becoming mid-table?~

Lol we're in second place after 3 games, qualified for Champion's League. The only way is up not down, we have a much better team now than 4 years ago.
I just think football in general and the momeny spent on it is a joke. Stopped being interested in the England team a few years ago, overpaid pncey spoilt brats who look like they'd rather have penises in their ears than play hard for England. Yet look at Spain, just as much money in football, yet European champions.
Thank god we've got real sportsmen like rugby players to still give a sense of national pride when they play. The club football game is still highly enjoyable, but I'm happy watching from my armchair these days. Going to games is an expensive experience.

If I owned Liverpool I'd buy Biscan, Cheyrou and Stig Inge Bjørnebye.

Personal Opinion. But no one saw past Rangers for the league last year, then Celtics 10 game run threw them the title. ok YES it was coupled with Rangers being shite, but a 10 game run, espcially at a time as you say Rangers/Celtic were down sizing is great. Imagine they won the title, imagine they came 2nd. If Romonov didnt chuck Burley, and they could maintain Hartley/Gordon/That Czech Guy for a season longer the money they made from a prolonged period at the top, followed by possibly opportunity for Europe is enough to argue that they could have continued to challenge. I however agree its not simply due to the top 2, but was just my opinion.Nixon wrote:Better that Celtic/Rangers dominating ever year in Scotland, Hearts a few years under Burley/19 other managers were close to breaking the top 2, infact they did, you could argue they may have one it if they didnt have behind the scenes trouble, added alot to the league so the premship just got a little bit more interesting.
I also think Arsenal are gonna have no problems with a top four finish, I cant see them for the title as I think they've a weak side in terms of depth but Spurs were expected to perform this year, they've started shit, which dosent mean anything, but there is still obvious flaws, perhaps mental between a player in a Man U Shirt, and a player in the white of Tottenham.
All my opinons, dosent mean its right or wrong, but how I view. As a neutral I love the money being spent, it can have a bad result on the fan, but you can (example) pay £10 a match to watch your team finish 10? Or £25 for a genunie chance of challenging. (Note - i know t he prices arent right, but yoiu get where im coming from)
