I told no lies
You can talk about our fanbase til the cows come home but again, I told no lies. You were the lesser of 2 evils because you winning it means nothing and that is exactly why your fans still have us on your mind even now (inb4 6 months, you thought you'd won it
) because deep down you know you won't get the respect and recognition you really crave because your title was empty and hollow.
Great players, great team, top manager, nice football (it's not my cup of tea personally
) but you should walk the league when you can field two Top 4 calibre teams and have spent a cool billy, that's why we were the story the whole time, that's why even now we are still the story. Fans of other teams can live with a City win because they can tell themselves that they can't compete with the petrodollars, we've got to the position we are through good recruitment, wise spending of money we have earned, with a clear philosophy and system in place with everyone at the club from top to bottom moving in the same direction. Us being miles ahead of the rest is bad enough but for us to win the league against you, that's a little too much introspection and too much hard cold reality of how poorly run and dysfunctional some of these clubs are to deal with because if we can do it so can they. Fans of your intercity rivals wanted you to win over us, how can you really not see that for what it is
it has nothing whatsoever to do with our fanbase and everything to do with a City win meaning nothing, it's like saying either of the Old Firm would prefer the other to win over Hibs because of their fans
or me wanting Everton to win it over Arsenal cause of the AFTV massive
It's pretty sad that it seems neither your fans or indeed your players can enjoy your title win without us living rent free in their heads
Meanwhile we are over it, as are the players without a doubt and focused on bringing home number 6
you know that trophy where you actually have to work for it because teams will have a go and aren't gonna just roll over and be beaten before a ball is even kicked like in the Prem, same one you have no pedigree in , that one all the real elite proper big boy clubs have won and players covet and that you consistently flop in
