Well they're doing it at the moment. Good enough for me! Ultimately I don't give a toss about who wins it if we don't, but I'm pleased over every point the Manchester teams drop for as long as we're mathematically still in the race.

Personally, I have no hate for City, because I have no respect for them. Just as I never had any respect for Chelsea or anything they achieved.

It's no great achievement to spend half a billion pound, or whatever it is, and win the League. Whoopty do. And there fans will know that deep down too. Just as Chelsea fan can never really stand behind what it is they've done in the last 7 years.

I don't know Ricky - I think the majority of City and Chelsea fans couldn't care less how they achieve success.

No more than Blackburn fans were bothered when big money secured them a league title.

We're all desperate for big investment because we know that's that it takes to compete these days.

It's hard to have an opinion, it's like Fulham suddenly challenging for the title. It's distasteful but you can't help but feel completely detached from the whole thing.

United fans must be livid though.

Blackburn's spending hardly compares. Even relatively speaking.

I know a few Chelsea fans and they will argue the toss, but when it really comes down to it they know they are a club that threw out everything it was - what it was that they loved about them - and cheated/bought their way to trophies.

Not much to like or respect about that.

I want both the Manc clubs to drop as many points as possible. I don´t really care either who wins the title if we don´t win it. As of right now, with half the league games still to play, we are "only" 9 points from the top despite our horrible start. We also have all the top teams to play at Ashburton Grove. Wenger surprising us a bit in the transfer market - who knows?

I have said all along, and I still maintain, that if Man City win it they will win it DESPITE Mancini. I think he is well capable of fucking their season up, and I don´t rate him as a manager at all. As for Man U, you can see that they are in all sorts of trouble. Not at all convinced they will be a better team in the second half of the season.

I don't like or respect it much.
That's why I enjoy seeing City lose, and that's why I'm surprised how many Arsenal fans aren't bothered by them.
Particularly when they will continue to hover and unsettle our best players.

I admit as well that I really enjoy seeing Nasri on the losing side 🙂

Seeing City stutter is amusing, but of course you know who's going to benefit don't you?

Do you guys think United will win?
Based on what I saw from them yesterday and in other games that they have lost this season I'd say no.

They are far weaker in defence than they were last season and their home form, which secured them the title last time around, is worse.

I'd say they're heavy favourites at this point. City are not going to outpoint United down the stretch, there's no chance of that happening. They will need a big advantage going into Easter and they don't look capable of doing it.

That's not to say United look good, because they clearly don't.

They've got a tough set of fixtures coming up(including cup games). Most of them are home games, but still.

Man United (h)

Wgan (a)

have got to hand it to them, the don't muck about with getting the luck of the draw.

We can win this league, but only if jack comes back in good form and we strengthen in this window.

That loss to Chelsea really shook the self-belief out of them, and opened the door for Utd- Or worse!

Nasri's world class form at the back end of 2010 is increasingly looking like a flash in the pan. Throw in his cunty personality too, and I'm actually quite happy now that he didn't want to sign a new contract with us. £24 million was good business.

It was very good business.

He's lost that pace he had gained during his hot spell and has since reverted back to being a tubby lil ball hog who slows attacks down.

Not sure he'll ever be motivated to get back to that level. Why would he? Has it too cushy and city and there is no love to spur him on.

Tosser.

Cant believe he was chatting about Balon Dor's when he moved to City. Deluded wanker.
