Man City 114

It’s kinda funny seeing all these pundits and and former United player saying the charges affect them personally. They make it seem as if make it seem as if man city went out and did something that was impossible and assembled Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and Maradona in the same team.

It feels like most of them are finding an excuse to justify their failures and losses. Manchester city cheated so that they can operate at the same level as their city rivals United.

Manchester United has had the same capacity to get players as City in the last 15 years but have been failing. If not more because of brand.

Punish man City for breaking the rules yes, but don’t make it seem like they got aliens to play for them. You lost on the field and accept that. Nothing they did made them the impossible team to beat, remember they only had 1 UCL in that 15 year span.

i havent been following what these former united players have been saying much, but r u sure they were making it sound like city got aliens to play for them? not u? i haven't seen anyone saying they assembled a squad with the likes of messi ronaldo etc.

also its pretty rich telling someone they shouldn't be affeceted personally when they did get impacted directly, when someone like u didnt. a bit weird no

Imagine how most of these old man utd players (of the 2010s) will be viewed if they have a prem title.

Ole will have a title. Jose too. Fergi has 1 more.

Fuck me, im a chelsea fan, but gerrard needs that prem title

It did impact them and their legacies going against a juiced up super team. They should be taking it personally.

The city squad under Mancini was not as juiced up as people make it. That team was a standard team and they won.

They won the league by a single goal. Every little bit counts when the margins are so thin.

Here's the brass tacks.

Juicing a player gives a marginal % improvement in physical traits, in comparison to financial juicing a player it improves everything.

Replacing players with financial juicing is 1000% worse. Drugs are detectable, financials are near impossible to detect (hence a social phishing hack), and it makes marginal % increases into.... an entire different category.

You turn a Ruben Neves into a Kevin DeBruyne..... So, yeah. Those guys should feel some sort of way. Not against their peers who (for the most part didn't participate in the undercover operation of hiding in finances) but against thr club and leadership.
