Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... why is this on the Bolton board, we don't really have anything to do with your petty rivalry...

Do you support Peterborough because you like there?

Not really sure why you have problem with City. Yes, they have money to spend. But Utd have spent £30m on numerous players in the past. Chelsea have money as well.

Maybe you just feel threatened by them.

United haven't spent much eh!!!

Man utd have spent an average of £9.168m for 12 league titles and a lot of 2nd place finishes 2 champions league and a some fa cups. City although in a 3 year period have spent an average of £14m a season since the premier league started and you say man utd spent a lot.

City spent another £293million net then man utd and there wages are 50% more with half as much income.

Man utd could buy 4 players that cost as much as Ronaldo £80m and have a similar spend to city and offer them 300k a week and probably still have less wages spent.

Its still not making sense, what is it an average of, per window? and for how long?

Are you from Peterbrough? is that why you list them as a team you support?

Who cares, they got Mansour's money, you got Murdoch's. Spend big for years, then decide other teams who do it as well must be cheating or 'have no history'. If it takes that kind of spending to level the playing field in the oligopoly that is the premier league, then I don't think the problem is City's owners.

So basically... The op is jealous?

All I know is that we are still top of the league, by virtue of alphabetical order.

Citys' goals tonight in their 4-0 win cost 100 million.

Our 4, away btw, cost just under 9 million and even our own goal was scored by a freebie

I support Peterborough as I was born there but I support mainly man utd since 1996 but Peterborough are my second team.

Moses its since the premierleague started in 1992 I believe.

I hope you do City though. Only way city will fail is if they go on a bad run of draws and lose a game now and then. Man utd are realistically the only team apart from chelsea domestically that can stop City.

You can't have two teams, not allowed.

Also I couldn't believe Darren Ferguson was going to Peterborough. Peterborough used to struggle at the end of league 1 and then he came and got the mpromoted from league 2 to the championship but left and now again has got Peterborough promoted to the championship. I watched that game on sky after the champions league final loss to Barca the next day so that cheered me up a bit (promotion).

posted on 15/8/11

Right, so I'm guessing you have never lived in Manchester so don't really get the Manchester derby but are told to hate City so you do?

"I support Peterborough as I was born there"



And the reason for supporting a team that wins a lot is??

.....................................
I used to watch them when I was young as my older brother used to. Watching match of the day since then really. I only started following Peterborough 5-6 seasons ago as it is always good to see a team from where you are born doing either well or not.

GLOOOORY SEEEKING!!

Do I get a prize Mallorca?

posted on 15/8/11

Also it is not like I support 2 teams in the same league. If peterborough get promoted I hope Peterborough take enough points from man utd to stay up like if its a last game fixture if Man utd wrapped up the league. If Peterborough beat man utd earlier in the season I won't mind as much unless it was any other club.

Right so have you ever lived in Manchester?

posted on 15/8/11

Correct o mondo

Sorry OP, but there is no real reason for this bitterness with City, with your CV...

Support who you like, but you should get more of a buzz going to London Road than adopting "Ready Made Winners"

posted on 15/8/11

I support the one and only Wanderers, but also "follow" Bradford & Torquays fortunes as I studied, worked and lived there and went to matches.

I would never claim to support them!

We'd all love a benefactor like City have got. The difference between most of us and the original poster is that most of us are envious and the OP is jealous. The day when City overtake United is approaching with each passing season.
