I take it you are angry with your owners for not doing things by the book? In all honestly i'm not to bothered, i'm resigned to the fact that we are never going to win the Champions League anyway well certainly not in my lifetime and hopefully i have a few years to go, plus Europe has never been good for us, what is it ? 1 European trophy in our history, dismal for a club with our stature and money.

Singasong, one more thing... considering what you rightly say here, at this stage would you prefer to win the Premier League again, or the Champions League? I mean City really need to make their mark in Europe to be considered one of the big boys, don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we would love to win it (if only to shut you up ???? ) we have only ever said that we would prefer to win the PL. You also don't seem to understand why we have a dislike for UEFA.

Bredbury Blue Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Rick, sadly is showing himself to be extremely bitter. He spends more time on here trying to wind up than on the ManU. He's morphed in to R2D2. Get your head straight Ricky and wise up to this isn't 1999. City are sitting at the top table (looks like Newcastle will be along soon to join us ???? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 M.E.N. has selected City's top 50 players of all time. A good read. Some of the players I've seen I agree/disagree with (bit harsh on Tevez for example). I agree with their selection of no.1. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gallery/man-city-top-50-players-18086463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
