• Man City are a big club

  • From: trublu242
  • Description:

    There are many ways of judging if a club is big or not and most of them change from season to season, however i will concentrate on one factor that hasn't changed about my club city over the last few decades, and that is our huge fan base, 28000 in the 3rd division and now 47000 plus most games at Eastlands, yeah i know 5000 of them have now turned up suddenly the money and potential for success is finally back but all clubs have 'glory hunters'.

• Autobiographies

  • From: ulsterman
  • Description:

    During recent years there has been a plethora of books covering lives of footballers, some still wet behind the years and obviously published to enhance their already bulging coffers and of course those of their agents and "ghostwriters" Can anyone claim to have read a really interesting "autobiography"  ?

    PS  I have just finished "Big Club, Small Town & Me" by Brendan Flood a director of "The Clarets" and can recommend the book which covers the past three years of the club.

  • From: dorset gooner
  • Description:

    No doubt it was not a penalty last night but i take excpetion to the biased views, they are never balanced! Kenny Dalglish blames foreign players yet he only has to look at his own club captain Steven Gerrard to see how many times he dives, in fact did he not see the CL game V Aletico last season?

    I also don't recall ITV going on & on about that one or indeed the Babel dive against Arsenal in the CL a couple of years back. Both, incidently, critical decisions not one that made no difference to

• Man City are big club

  • From: raging
  • Description:

    No they are not, in the same way that Newcastle, Leeds and Notts Forrest are not big clubs either - coz they win nothing.

    It is still to be proven whether City can even compete!

    If they make top 4 for the next few seasons then my opinion might change but for now they are just throwing money around.

• Re: Man City are a big club?

  • From: harry boulton
  • Description:

    City are not a big club. They are a rich club, and they are now a competitive club, but they're not a big club.

     

    They have no history of success, they have no attraction to the world best players other than the wages they're prepared to pay. These are the facts.

     

    Ferguson was a touch hypocritical when he described them as a small club, especially seeing as he castigated Benitez for saying similar things about Everton. But there are differences between the two, I believ

• Man City are a big club?

  • From: ahmedjefferson
  • Description:

    Micah Richards has sad that Man City need to achieve a position in the top six this season. Is this going to happen?

    Is Fergie corect in saying that they are not a bgig club? I reckon he is correct and for all the money they will get to buy success, they will never be the massive club they want to be.

    What do you think?

    This could happen to anyone from any Supporters in the uk. Not just Rangers supporters. Some people from just about every club go looking for trouble anywhere they can find it. Gladly there are more real supporters than hooligans.

  • From: robbso
  • Description:

    STEVE Gibson has slashed the Boro's debt to make the club more financially sound in an unknown future.

    The Boro chairman has reduced the club’s overall debts from around £93m to well under £30m.

    The new figures have not been officially released, but will appear in the club’s next annual balance sheet.

    Gibson, who is backing manager Gareth Southgate to lead the Boro fightback this summer following relegation, finally decided to call time on the ever spiralling deb

    Cradle, I was not attacking Arsenal or questioning Wenger. I ewas supporting them. Hence my comments on Wengers annual acts of genius. Read my posts again.

     

    I was attacking their board. Wenger has been left high and dry? Have you not read the minutes of that meeting? Have you not been made aware of how these fans questioned his judgement, transfer policy and then the board, Hill-Wood aside, sat back and let him take all the flack without so much as standing up for

    <p>The majority of Arsenal fans I know, some of them season ticket holders, are feeling let down ands understandably so. For &pound;1600 a season they do not want to see the average ribbish churned out every week by trhe likes of Diaby, Silvestre, Adebayor and co.

    I think the people who've been casting doubt on Wenger's methods ought to be banned from Arsenal for life and locked up in an asylum.

     

    Lets get one thing straight: Arsenal football club is under no obligation to deliver titles in the short term. There is no rule saying that if we fail to win a trophy for four years we are suddenly a failure as a football club or that the business model ought to change.

     

    It's pathetic, the short-sightedness of a great many members of th

    A couple of things:Just watched Gillingham against Aston Villa. Unfortunately, as usual the big club got the important decision when Ashley Young fell over and Villa got the penalty. Are the referees incompetent or is there something else going on?As for the coverage, please, please get rid of David Pleat.
