English Premier League 2011/2012

Where have all the glory huntin city fans came from.

 

not pro city just anti man utd

 

From former Man United fans :icon_mrgreen:

 

I've always tolerated City but have liked them more this season as they were United's biggest rivals and I hate United

 

this sums up me too

 

And you'll be bored when City spend even more money and buy more leagues

 

1 Dimitar Berbatov Tottenham Hotspur £30.75 million September 2008
2 Rio Ferdinand Leeds United £29.3 million July 2002
3 Juan Sebastián Verón Lazio £28.1 million[44] July 2001
4 Wayne Rooney Everton £27 million August 2004
5 Anderson Porto £20.4 million[45] July 2007
6 Ruud van Nistelrooy PSV Eindhoven £19 million[46] June 2001
7 David de Gea Atlético Madrid £18.9 million[47] June 2011
8 Michael Carrick Tottenham Hotspur £18.6 million[48] July 2006
9 Nani Sporting CP £17.3 million[49] July 2007
10 Owen Hargreaves Bayern Munich £17 million[50] July 2007

both teams have spent a fortune on players

 

Just seen the Stoke pen. Complete dive from Crouch.

 

The money United have spent has been over a much longer period of time, and it's all money that they have generated. City on the other hand is just courtesy of this super rich owner who fancied using them as his play toy. I'm sure he'll get bored eventually and they will be left with debts that they simply couldn't manage.

Joey Barton facing lengthy ban after red card in QPR defeat


QPR midfielder Joey Barton is facing a lengthy ban for his red card and subsequent actions in the 3-2 defeat by Manchester City.
Barton, 29, was sent off for an off-the-ball incident involving Carlos Tevez, but also kicked Sergio Aguero before leaving the field.
He will receive an automatic four-game ban for his second red of the season.
But his reaction and his later comments on Twitter could mean the Football Association adds to his suspension.
Barton tweeted: "People are forgetting Tevez started the fracas by throwing a punch to the head.
"Can do nothing but apologise to the players and the fans. Still don't think its a sending off."

After being ordered from the pitch, Barton floored Aguero with a kick, but said that this was aimed at inciting the Manchester City players.
He added: "The head was never gone at any stage, once I'd been sent off, one of our players suggested I should try to take one of theirs with me. It never worked but * loves a trier."

On his way from the field, Barton was confronted by Vincent Kompany and Mario Balotelli, and had to be ushered down the tunnel by QPR staff and City substitute Micah Richards.

BBC pundit Robbie Savage replied to Barton's tweets, saying: "When you see it back it was a red defo [sic], then also could of been a red for kick out [at Aguero].
"You shouldn't of elbowed him [Tevez] in the throat, booted Aguero and squared up to Kompany."

Speaking on Final Score, former England defender Martin Keown said: "His behaviour afterwards, even if it wasn't a sending off, is absolutely unforgivable."
Fellow pundit Garth Crooks added: "This will go beyond the summer. When the FA seee this there will be reprisals. It's extraordinary. You can only describe it as an assault on Carlos Tevez. He should get a six-month ban, for that incident alone."

Despite the defeat by City, QPR avoided relegation from the Premier League thanks to Bolton's failure to beat Stoke.
"I've not seen it [the initial incident involving Tevez]," said manager Mark Hughes. "Some media people have said he deserved it and even after he was shown red there was somewhat of a melee which was unfortunate as well.
"But I am pleased the guys were able to use that situation to good effect, so let's try not to focus on that incident because it was one negative on a fantastic day for QPR."

 

I notice HP's no' been on this evening.

Hope he hasn't done anything... gulp... "foolish"!

 

Quoting players bought 11 years ago, nice one. Difference is United spend their own money, City spend Arab money.

City NET spend since 07/08 £421,270,000

If that isn't buying the league then I don't know what is

 

Old Trafford. :icon_mrgreen:

 

I am fine

 

Whos the most ABU fan on here.. its a toss up between you and ciaran i think lol.

 

waaaaaaaaaait. if united spend their own money then how are they in so much debt??? clearly they don't just spend revenue orelse they wouldn't be in that much debt. so hilarious the sour grapes. man utd spend a * fortune on players too. as do chelsea and the rest of that league, overinflated prices

 

anyway i'm done with this, im just happy man utd didn't win the league, and i hope they don't again, but im 100% sure they'll be back next season stronger

 

WOW speechless
