Also given this dramatic affect inflation has on the figures and given your takeover was so long ago and you've outspent us almost every season since....

Doesn't some of that early takeover spending inflation put your figures even further ahead again?

Now you want to talk about inflation because you think it helps your cause

What a plank.

Everyone's spending (and sales) would be magnified, that's true.

But that would just increase the chasm for the years when you spent big. You spend £43M and we spend £1M. Let's put some inflation in there of say 500% and you've spent £215M to our £5M in today's terms.

WOW!!! You really want to bring football iflation to the party?

If you could read you would have seen me specifically mention this is just about the fact City have spent more, spending being originally a point brought up by a City fan.

You have shown many times though that your bias makes you unable to read things properly.

Coming from the guy who couldn't understand a whole sentence because of a missing space?

Not sure you have the intelligence for this discussion tbh Manc, it is all a bit above your level.

..........................................

What is it about some City fans and an inability to read?

Is it the bitterness that makes you this stupid?

Well that was a beautiful story.... but swiftly moving back to the real world...

I'll give in here.

I'll accept that City have spent more than Utd. There, you have my admission. Happy now?

But, as everyone knows, you have to put things into context and include football inflation into the bargain too.

You didn't want to until you thought you'd found an angle to help your cause. Sadly, you got it wrong and it made your case worse.

That's enough for me. I'm arguing with the unblessed.

You want to mention the inflation, at last, and you get battered and then start slurring like old purple nose.

I rest my case.

£250M+

We talking about City's greater net spending than us?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Given the original context, anyone with at least 2 brain-cells can work out that I was ribbing van Gaal's tenure thus far.
But you seem to have gone off on one about our total net spend.

I suggest that you take your time. Read. Read again. Think, and then destroy another keyboard.

I'll give in here.

....................................

Why don't you go back to the start of this little mini discussion, that was all I said, I didn't even bring up the topic, a City fan did, I commented that they had spent more which has turned into pages of City fans either arguing otherwise or talking about slightly different things as if they challenge my original point.

Happy, sad who really cares you've spent ages arguing against my point and now agreed to it, a discussion I didn't even start.

Football inflation does not near double our spend (near a third of a billion) to match yours, that quite frankly is delusion.

What the hell are you on about discovered an angle. I knew full well before this discussion that not only purchases inflated but sales as well, it would be obvious even to someone like manc (well maybe)

Also proven me wrong, where with what?

Also just to note saying someone is wrong is not the same as proving them wrong.

Check that out... its a single sentence, its a few words more than was wrote in the original post regarding spending!!

So the summary of your case is...

Inflation!

Inflation is big!

You are slurring!

I have proven you wrong!

Yes, well done, how can I come back against such hard hitting facts, clearly that near third of a billion close to twice our spend would be closed in no time if only inflation hadn't been so unkind to City, I concede to such a masterfully crafted case, well played.

I would assume that you didn't think I did. Otherwise you'd be asking a redundant question.

Why would a "far more intelligent poster" than I be asking redundant questions?

Nope. I don't. That medical condition is really easy to find in the dictionary.

Rhetorical question definition, look it up.

So you know that I did?

I am not surprised, obviously finding the information is easy enough but understanding requires something more difficult.

So who's actually arguing for arguing' sake again?

Sarcasm. Look it up
