What do you say to people who argue that City have “bought” the title?
I don’t talk to them, its rubbish.

How he must miss the halcyon days of 2004 when 18-year-old shrek cost a mere €41million

I don''t think either club actually needed RVP, I genuinely think the battle was all about stopping the other club from signing him

Rags signed him because they're desperate to provide a credible title challenge or even win it. Their brand is highly reliant on seeing us as a temporary problem. Arsenal were able to lay up and target 4th, but scum fans won't accept that, they won't hang around.
For the moment, this is a PR win for them. They've just played one of their strongest cards though, we're still holding ours. They needed to make the move far more than we did.

Good point. The press have certainly latched onto the idea that we have it all to do...but most sane people realise that we arent going away any time soon....four out of five pundits in the mail still think we will win it....and after the rag adoration this summer if we were to win it again it would be even sweeter than last time....what would the spin be then?
