Don't see how City fans deserve success either just because their neighbours have been successful, why don't teams with unsuccessful neighbours deserve success?

Pretty harsh to say that when we've been building on our academy for a good number of years now and theres still a good presence of our youth academy in the squad despite all the money we've been given </BLOCKQUOTE>

true, just the whole 'good for English football' thing that gets bandied about as if the top 4 are a bunch of evil clubs who just monopolise the league through their multimillion pound spending, massive wages etc etc, the whole point being if City were to break into the top 4 it wouldn't be good for football at all, just good for City fans. They might well stay there, but they'd just end up replacing one of the other teams, wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to the neutrals whether it's City or Chelsea tbh.

That bitter pill had to swallow I see, you have taken BBBBBBBB's place as the most pathetic Utd poster here.

As Karl said we have a fantastic youth set up which has been the basis of the team with a few quality players added to it

Generally agree with you.

However don't think they have "thrown a lot of money around" - yes, they spent quite a lot but the majority of players Sven bought - Corluka, Petrov, Elano have been big successes, Bianchi the only big-money dissapointment so far (and too early to right him off yet).

haha a city fan calling a united fan bitter

You give my arse a headache.

yes, I would. I wanted Tottenham to break the dominance of the top4, however I believe that it would be better for the whole league if it worked out Man City or Portsmouth broke into the top4.

hahaha bitter, as if I even care where you end up. Just pointing out it's not exactly going to 'save English football'. Also no team 'deserves' or doesn't deserve success ffs, it's football it's not going to be fair, otherwise everyone would win the same amount of trophies, enjoy whatever you consider to be success. As long as you're not above us I couldn't care where you finished.
