General Football and Sport / Re: Man City - Cheating Bastards on & off the pitch - 115 Charges
« Last post by Black Bull Nova on Today at 12:42:55 am »Granted, but it's 12 years ago. City hadn't started to completely dominate and were quite flawed in winning that title too. United were also so used to winning that it was almost passé at that point.I don't mind saying I enjoyed that afternoon, years of Ferguson and United made me want them to suffer and the fact that it was City made it better. It was a good game as well, the only exciting game I can remember City being involved in the PL.
There's no way that the more modern United, after a long period in mediocrity, go close and lose out narrowly to the cheats and don't massively kick off about it now. It's a completely different situation and context to 2012.
Though you are right when you say we loved it then and we'd probably love it again if we're being honest. Despite City being the worst thing that ever happened to the game.
I'm well over it now, nobody really knew what was going on then and they still had players like Lescott, Balotelli, Richards, Milner so it did not quite feel like they were cheating at that stage (front stage that is)
