Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!

[Reality]

What has this got to do with the SPL? What has it even got to do with MON?

Man City fans rant on about Mancini being so great and point out his Serie A titles. Lets get real here. The Serie A suffered greatly and Inter had an easy ride to the top after it. So it isn't that great at all.

[coda]

They can wank over these signings all they like. With Mancini in charge and a coaching staff consisting of Lombardo and Platt, these c**ts will find a way of **** it all up. Citehh and the Manc equivalent of the noses.

From the mouths of success they'll grasp failure.

Rubbish that Mancini is. All he's ever won is:

Coppa Italia: 2000–01

Coppa Italia: 2003–04

Serie A: 2005–06; 2006–07; 2007–08

Coppa Italia: 2004–05; 2005–06

Supercoppa Italiana: 2005; 2006

We should have appointed MON, I mean, he's won the SPL 3 times, which is far stronger league than Italy.

Much better he is!

With all this arrogance you sound like a manyoo fan. I hope you're proud of yourself. We'll soon see how good Mancini is when the pressure's on after a run of goalless draws.

The Man City fan compared Mancini to MON

[AVFC-Prideofbrum]

I think we should appoint Juande Ramos personally. Anyone seen his La Liga record? It's brilliant, being successful in one league is absolutely vital if you are ever going to become a great Premiership manager.

His league titles were only won because of Calciopoli. Before this he was getting whipped by Juventus and Milan

Check the state of Italian football when he won that lot. Milan and Juve were in serious decline from 2005 onwards and are only just starting to rebuild.

In that stadium you need ear plugs the noise is that bad, not in a good way though, in a bad way. Everything seems to have the bass sucked out of it, sounds like the crowds used to be at those England vs Germany schoolboy international games at Wembley, really irritatingly high pitched

Yeah i went there last year, it's got this bowel effect to it, for a newish stadium it really is piss poor atmosphere wise. They need to buy a new stadium already

So this is Man City's most barren spell in their history.

And yet everyone is talking about them more than any other club?

Interesting.

I'm guessing our 37 years is 1920 - 1957. But seeing as there was a World War in that time, that's a little unfair on that squad.

Edit: Can't be - Second Division Champions: 1937-38. When would our 37 years have been then? We've got fairly consistent honours.

It's the sound of someone clutching at straws

[Qwpzxjor1]

Not sure what Damocles is trying to prove with that..

Surely the only thing that proves is that this current Man City era is the most unsuccessful in their history.

And they will simple buy their way out of it. Hardly a selling point to the 'we are actually a big club' argument, is it?

I'm pretty sure it only accounts for major honours. Man City have won that trophy (Division 1) in this current trophyless run they are having.

And rightfully so. Who gives a **** if you're the 25th/23rd/21st (or 22nd/20th/18th, at a push) best club in England.

Stronger? No. More competitive? Yes. Italy has been a 1 team league for a while, so was Scotland actually.. Until MON turned up.
