The enemy of my enemy is......if not my friend, at least an acquaintance who is in the position to do me a favor. I wouldn't turn down that favour.
I would, when they're neither an acquaintance nor a friend. They are the enemy of our fans and this club, and I have no time for them.
Said I'd never cheer for them. Big difference between "cheering" and wanting them to benefit our position.
There is no difference. If you would admittedly "never cheer for them" for obvious reasons, what are you challenging me for?
Hell, I'll hope for them cos they're just mid-table trash at this point. Just another Aston Villa as far as I'm concerned.
Yes they are mid-table thrash, but in relation to this club anyway, they'll never be another Aston Villa.
You want City to beat the Mancs, even though that would put our position to win silverware in peril?
This year, I was warned not to want Everton and Spurs to beat the mancs, in case 4th spot was threatened. Well they did, and it wasn't. We have all but secured the top 4 spot we wanted at the start of the year, and regardless of the result next week, we'll still be well in the title race.
The result next week affects our title chase the same as when Chelsea beat them. It's much easier to ask Arsenal, Fulham, Villa, West Brom, West Ham, Southampton, Sunderland, Everton, and Palace for favours against City. Take your pick.
If City won and beat us to the title by 1 point...I find that very strange.
If City win, they have 9 games remaining. If they then win the title by 1 point, they will have done it by 9 months work against every club, not 90 minutes.
I find it bizarre that the message to the mancs from here next week basically is; it doesn't matter that we've wanted City to win every derby you've played since the year dot, it doesn't matter that you've oppressed us for 20 years, it doesn't matter when you sing about Heysel and Hillsborough next week and every week, that's ok you will still be supported in your derby.
My message to them is simple; No Surrender. The red faces round mancland will turn purple if City are in the mood. That should be a sight to behold. We'll worry about the title race implications later, if necessary.
can people stop quoting so my ignore feature can work!
That's why ignore lists are useless.
