After just hearing that Big Nige is STILL being demonised for his crunching tackle on Ben Arfa (which might now supported with a ridiculous 5m compensation claim) and the call for Barry's head after last nights poor performance, I have no other choice to believe that this is no longer about the tackle, or De Kong or Barry or even about football itself, it is in fact yet another resurgence of the anti-City brigade bullshit which has plagued the club since Sheikh Mansour took over (who saved Barclay's Bank by the way).Not only did Sheikh Mansour buy the club and vastly improve it to the delight of the fans (and the whole footballing community, remember?), but his money also revitalised an impoverished premiership with world-class signings such as Tevez, Kolarov, Barry, Toure, Robinho and… De Jong; non of which Chelsea nor the Rags or even Real Madrid could achieve nor afford, even though they all tried.
Considering the influx of money ploughed into Manchester City and our debt-ridden premiership during the worst recession in a million years, I think the man should be thanked. I know he's in it for the money but then so is everybody who runs a business. Unlike some club owners (as the Rags and Scousers will testify) at least he wants to do things properly and respectfully by investing long term - starting from the bottom and working his way up; keeping the soul and spirit of the club intact. In the long run this will generate lots of money for the area through tourism and sales from an ever growing fan base. The Sheikh and his masterplan has also pledged (with the cooperation of Manchester City Council) to help to redevelop the east side of Manchester by creating plenty of new jobs and services across the board - it's a win - win situation for everybody.
So in short, fuck all the jealous two-faced hypocrites who want to see City fail because their club's a heap of wank thats been driven into the floor with plummeting ticket sales, mismanagement and all round incompetence. If any of the witless anti-City shit stains (especially from the smaller clubs) had been through what the average City fan has, they'd think twice before jumping on the bandwagon with the fascist press and wish them all the best in conquering the Premiership.
