City

The Hitman · September 15, 2011

I've reached a horrendous conclusion.

That, if given a choice between City and United, for any form of silverware this season - I'd actually prefer United to win.

It's a disgusting thought, and if the eventuality did occur, I'd probably bury my head in the sand and ignore it.

However, I just feel that a piece of silverware or acclaim should be earned. If United won anything, at least it'd be earned. It might pain me to say it, but Ferguson has built the side up time and time again. It'd be down to hard work and skill. I might not like it, but I'd have to grudgingly accept it.

City, on the other hand, have literally spent millions, near enough a billion - all on a vanity project. By some foreigner who is, in my opinion, attacking a culturally significant part of this country. Who has been there,what, once? Twice?

What they have, they've not earnt. It's the equivalent of doping in athletics. In taking what they have naturally got, and boosted their chances using "resources" beyond those of their rivals.

I can't stomach it, the sheer exhibition of wealth disgusts me.

It's been that long since we won the title, but if we were ever to do it in a manner similar to how they've done it (as it's surely only a matter of time)- I'd be embarrassed to celebrate.

You want to win things fairly and squarely, that's sport.

Where's the joy in winning if you've "cheated"?

I haven't really come across the same level of resentment towards them by other people yet, but every game I want them to lose. Every time I read a match report marvelling at their "football", or talking about Mancini and City's "achievement", it makes me livid.

The Mancs I've learned over the years to cope with, hating them, maybe even learn to respect- because they've EARNT it. Like we did.

Where's the achievement at City?
