v Man City thread..

[Pirata]

To put things in perspective Citys second string starting 11 cost 180 Million.

Rovers 11 cost 10 Million.

Citys two strikers cost more than Venkys paid for Rovers

rovers were in a fantastic position once but its all about timing. the sheer amount of tv money available now means it's easier to stay there once you reach the top. rover's , even allowing for inflation would have got a pittance for what they achieved compared to us now.if jack would have rocked up now then rovers, with their history and fan catchment area would do far better long term than they did in 95.of course other investors would look at city, everton and co and think if rovers can win the league then so can they. that's what football owes to big jack. he gave the "normal" clubs hope. Chelsea did and city followed. so never say never roverites you may get another shot one day.

btw, that final day in 95 when you took the title off the scum was one of my favourite days in football.

I still lived back home in Bury back then. A town which is half city, half united. I spent that evening in our local (back in 95 )with all my Ci

Errrr, are West Ham really this sh*t, or is this what is gonna happen to us next week?

It's frightening to watch.

5-0 and still 20 mins to go.

Watching it reminded me of watching us on our relegation season Alf.

Just defeated players all over the pitch.

Hope we put up more of a fight next week. Altho City's goals, esp Dzekos, were clinical tbf.

As much as I think W/Ham are not playing to their potential City are awesome at ripping teams to bits,,I hope and pray that they dont play Negledo & Dzeko againt us,,Bowyer has certainly got to fire the lads up to give their all,, If we can go there in the same frame of mind as we had at home and not get trashed 6-0 I will be happy.

I know our chances are slim, but there have been bigger upsets in football, COYB

Russ, When you have had ur ass kicked as much as I have in life, You learn to never give up.
Watched some of the W/Ham game again this morning and we could do with Dzeko,Negredo & Ya Ya coming down with a dose of the wild shoite's.
