I admit I am mate but don't take it personally. I don't like those clubs or what they are about.

it's funny because i don't either. when you're young you don't really realize how it is, or at least you don't concern yourself with it, and then now it's at a point where i attack teams like City and Chelsea for trying to buy their trophies while we're even worse than they are.

I don't have a problem with MU spending what they generate. They were lucky with their success and the timing of the Prem boom but they have done well whoring the brand around the world and spend their own money (there are reasons why I don't like MU but finances wouldn't be up there). Chelsea and MC changed everything though. I'm happy for the MC fans who would have grown up watching MU dominate so I don't begrudge them their success even if I don't like how they have done it.

I can't think of anything to like about Chelsea though.

nah for me it's mostly the spending. especially with manchester united having relied so heavily on our youth program and growing players during our best years. it's one thing to spend the money you generate, but it's another thing entirely to go around and contribute to the growth of football as a business rather than as a sport.

what irritates even more is despite this we still manage to finish below ****ing arsenal in the table. what kind of joke is this? despite how entertaining he is, i will never be happy with Jose's United, he just doesn't build the type of team I feel right supporting. negative football + outspend to win just doesn't do it for me. LVG might have bored me to tears but at least he brought in players that were young and full of potential, seeing it as investments rather than as a stock market.

edit - i kinda forgot about di maria, that was a pretty god awful signing.
