They should be qualifying the money they have spent

[Wooders]

When oh when are we going to be able to shift this catchphrase
You hear it every game - ok, we have spent money, but what is so bad about saying, they should be qualifying because we're a bloody good team

Hear hear Or here here ?

This is the new, albeit desperate mantra.

All previous criticisms have failed or have been exposed as fallacious, so this is the 'fall-back', rearguard position.

When we win the Champions League, they'll still be using a variation of this, with which to hit us.

Hear hear

Heard it from Smith during his shite commentary tonight , very poisonous that cunt was tonight .

[Wooders]

It's what prompted me to start the thread tbh

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Cheap, lazy criticism from the green-eyed monster brigade. The scum have spent more than us in the last 3 years and they're not even in Europe.

[kinkylola]

rags should do the domestic treble then I guess.

[Cit.revenge]

Really , spending story is a joke to me , If Everton fan say something then ok or Sunderland something like that even do with that money they have u can make something if u are smart Southampton proof that. And Rags to talk about spending money or Lverpool or Chelsea , Real Madrid ,PSG, no money doesn't buy success. If that was true Liverpool would be better then last year, and Atletico M would never play final of CL, It s so boring that story only City spending money.

[Mase]

If funny, because the pricks that are using this line are exactly the same ones that said "money doesn't buy success" when we first got taken over. Cretins!

Have to give Johnny Giles his due here, Brady was full of "with the money spent" blah blah but when the presenter on RTE asked Giles if City were buying success he answered that they all buy success, they all spend money to win trophies.

Which is true and obvious. So why is every other cunt so biased?

Jealousy.

[lets all have a disco]

Let the press and everyone keep on saying this shit all it is doing is making the team and us stronger.

[I Just Blue Myself]

Fuck 'em.

[dazby]

The dippers should have got through- with all the money they spent.

Usually disguises his hate for us quite well does Alan Smith but the cunt just couldn't help himself last night . Plenty of the same shit in "some" of the rag tops today ...... not all though .

[Goaters 103]

Reminds me of all the wags in the press shouting "you cant buy success" in 2008 when Sheikh Mansour took over. By 2012 this had suddenly altered to " oh well, you've just bought success" - from the very same people who told us that you cant buy it as well.

Same thing will happen in the CL. Apparently we are the only team out there who has ever spent money - odd that, given the euro bigwigs we're circle jerking over the Barca v PSG tie, with 3 of the four goals scored by academy products Zlatan, Neymar and Suarez - all of them "youth system" products playing for free and the love of the game only.

Considering we are pants at the CL, we seem to have qualified for the knock-out stages 2 years in a row. Ah well, Im sure we can find new ways to piss everybody off if we manage to go even further - lets have a laugh and give it a try.

As the brilliant travelling City fans sang so well last night "Champions League? We're havin a laugh - Champions League, we're havin a laugh"
