City Nearly Ticking All The Right Premiership Boxes !

This was passed to me recently and is a letter from a City fan sent into a newspaper.

I'm beginning to understand it all now.

...and he's quite right, we are almost there ;-)



Apologies about the image quality, but if you can't make it out, here's a translation:-

As a Manchester City fan, I finally understand what a club needs to thrive in the Premier League:

  • A billionaire owner
  • A foreign manager on a 5 year contract (or 3 English managers per season)
  • A new sponsored stadium
  • Season ticket prices at a minimum of £700
  • Two foreign goalkeepers
  • Two players (preferably strikers) whose names end in " i " or " o "
  • At least four players who wear gloves in all games from October to March
  • Two or three squad members who qualify for the England, Wales of Scotland U-21s (for Carling Cup duty only), and finally...
  • As a ready made excuse for not making the top four, at least four players who will be away on duty for the African Cup of Nations
We are getting there !

Never a truer word spoken in jest ... or something like that

City fans gave a great sense of humour

Perhaps Sven's Big Big signing will be Drogba !!! Then we will have ticked all the boxes.

Ticking the right ones for me... ! Bitter & Blue have an article on KK going to Newcastle. Don't know what's gone wrong with that site, (takes three days to load up!), but it's just unfortunate that we can't stuff it up his arse again this season. Oh yeah - he got tired, and was never going to manage a football club again. Sod the little shit.
