So you can abuse people calling them maniacs, freaks etc. But if someone says something back to you they must have a word with themselves. You have got to be the most hypocritical person on this earth. Stick to defending the bigots mate.
It doesn't guarantee it, no but the circumstances are completely different
On the back of our greatly overrated season you mean?
Why are we any any different to back then?
Are we overrated or are we better now?
Some comment made in the spur of the moment decides wheter or not I'm a spurs fan. Open up your profile and let me see your comment history
I think City are the only team you can say that has improved, Bernado silva is a proven top top level player and walker and mendy should be improvements on sagna and clichey, but saying that as soon as kompany gets injured theyre fucked with otamendi and stones as their centre backs. Personally I think utd and Chelsea have downgraded on strickers and Im not too worried about woolwich or the scousers. Although I think we should be looking for 2 maybe 3 signings to compete on all fronts, we are still one of the best sides in the league and definitely have enough to go for the title again this season.
It is a nod to the phrase "Great white hope," which does have a racist antecedence. It is from boxing and dates back to the great Jack Johnson. It is now used to describe something tipped to succeed beyond ability or reason.
Did you quote the wrong comment? Makes no sense what you just wrote
Ok you tit, I take it back.
Support the club in your own way, that's your right. Let's hope we can all enjoy next season
You're shitting yourself because someone spent a lot of money.
The same people who paid £47 mil for John Stones.
The same people who paid £15mil for Clownio Bravo.
The same people who paid £53mil for Sterling.
The same people who paid £38mil for Otamendi.
The same people who paid £27mil for Bony.
The same people who paid £26mil for Mangala.
Yeah, their track recording for buying quality players is amazing, isn't it? Utterly terrifying.
How much have City spent so far? £1.3 Billion for, 2 titles, is it? Wow.
City are shit at scouting, have a clown manager and have no team mentality at all. I'm not worried because a rich Arab is spending cash.
City have to improve an awful lot to catch us too. We were leagues ahead of them last season. Their defence isn't sorted at all. Danilo isn't great, Walker may not work in their system and as you say, the sicknote that is Kompany goes down and you can't trust Stones and Otamendi.
Just wondered why you think the circumstances are different now.....as in is it more important now as we are so close to winning something?
That's really weird from Hugo. Your captain suggesting you to leave your club is odd.
Because we were spending to replace a player our team was built around, they're just adding to their already stacked team
Ah..now that's a very paradoxical question. Impossible to answer really. It's not about how much a club spends, it's about being able to identify players, getting them into the squad, and hitting the ground running. I think most of us would agree, yes, even the two of us, that we don't really have enough depth in the squad to make a sustained title challenge while also making an impression on the champions league. So what bothers me, and many others outside this forum, is that so far we haven't actually signed anyone. Although we have actually raked in around 80million in sales.
Now we all know that in the past we have dropped vital points at the start of the season. Points that have proved to cost us dear in the end, so it would have been nice to bring a few players in so this time we have a squad ready to hit the ground running. We are a big club. A very wealthy club too. So I just think we should be able to take care of business in a way that is befitting of our status. We should be able, where necessary, to pay the fee to close in on the player we need. I just think we could do more. How much less than City should we spend ? I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question for you
think it's too early to say if teams have improved, surely it will only become apparent at the end of the season? We haven't significantly weakened, sure Walker has gone but that's not to say a back-up isn't in the pipeline. We spanked a ton on the magnificent seven... didn't work out well.
I like to see a few rumours, suggestions and general banter on here. The constant bickering and endless loop becomes tiring, very quickly.

Ok I'm off track, I thought we was comparing the Infamous Seven window with this one
