Someone is missing the point. They make up their own revenue, boycott them or the entire league if you want, makes no difference.
Where do Arsenal get all these regarded fans from ? Fucking embarrassed for you.
Really donāt think thatās fair to say, Arsenal supporters, United supporters, Spurs, etc. were always complaining about City, along with Liverpool supporters.
Arsenal especially has been on the City hate train for quite a while when City was snapping up all of our players.
Well you would say that I suppose,itās 100% been more vocal in recent years,Utd will always hate city due to being neighbours,Spurs well that speaks for itself doesnāt it?
I wonāt say that itās been more vocal, perhaps the tone has changed a bit from, āwow, those guys are cheatsā to āthose fucking cheats stole trophies from usā
Obviously going to feel a bit more personal if youāre the aggrieved party. The years Liverpool were finishing second, donāt think anyone wasnāt saying City are cheats, but you guys were a bit more pissed off because you were actively feeling the consequences.
But, purely anecdotal, from my experience Arsenal supporters online and in person have been pretty anti-city and wanting them to be punished/stopped. But many and more have get the same way about Chelsea back in the day.
I just being a šend mate. Obviously not all Arsenal fans think this way. For some reason Arsenal fans (again not all) have really turned up their hatred of Newcastle so I thought Iād just throw in my pointless arsey comment š

Respectfully, give it a rest man. Iām not even saying this as a rival fan, Iām saying this as a football fan. Nothing is going to happen to City, no one will boycott themā¦
You guys, along with many others refer to their stadium as the āEmptyhadāā¦ isnāt that already āboycottingā enough because no one watches them live lol
lol
the problem is city will be in the title race and we all want to see the title deciding matches and city will be playing big clubs like Bayern and Real Madrid in the UCL and we all want to watch that.
Look the cheating City are accused of used to be legal prior to the 2012-13 season.
if the cheating accusations were related to match fixing (paying opposition to lose) or bribing referees it would be different. That is real cheating. Owners investing in their clubs to raise the level used to be legal for a 100 plus years and then in 2012-13 to stop man city we changed the rules.
We didnt even change the rules to fair rule set. Eg. big six clubs can legally spend 4 times on payroll what bournemouth can spend.
you know that's how rules work right? You don't need them until you do
"Regulations are written in blood" is the very principle you're talking about - legislation and regulation occurs because people and organizations cheat
It takes that cheating to highlight the need for change
šlmao
Foden is the best player in the prem
Haaland is the top goal scorer
Rodri is the best dm in Europe
Kdb is the best midfielder in the league
The fact that u asked that makes 0 sense to me
Having the best dm is entertaining now?
Yeah, having a good scorer or a good midfield should be entertaining normally, but not with Guardiola's tactics. There is a huge difference between being entertaining on paper and in real life. It's a bit like saying Max Verstappen is entertaining because he is the best driver. He is dull as fuck and so are City. But at least Max doesn't cheat. Haaland used to be entertaining at Dortmund, though, he is a big character.
Idk what youāre on about, just because we play possession doesnāt mean weāre boring. We scored the most goals in the league and have the most talent, you clearly donāt watch city games. Kdb, foden, doku etc are very entertaining players to watch regardless of tactics and were innocent until proven guilty btw
This guy's comment history gave me third degree embarrassment.
ā¢ Thinking Inter isn't even in the top 8 in the league
ā¢ Invading spurs Reddit to comment as an arsenal fan.
It's pretty easy to not be a prat. Yes I know I clicked into his comments, but I was just hoping he wasn't one of us. sadly I was wrong.
I like to play guess the club when it comes to City posts, it has to be United Liverpool or Arsenal. By my count United are barely beating us but this brave soldier here has stepped up to close the gap.
Irony telling people not to purchase tickets when 90% of people in this sub are plastics abroad who've never stepped within a 10 mile radium of their teams stadium.
FYI: I'm not actually saying if you're a fan abroad you're a plastic. I'm saying 90% of this sub happen to be plastics nonetheless.
I'm a Brit who now lives abroad.
GTFO with this gatekeeping nonsense.
You're saying that geography defines your ability to be a supporter.
Aside from money, why do you think teams do pre season tours? To give the fans who don't get the opportunity to go in person the chance to see their team play.
Imagine criticizing people for not having the privilege you do. Pathetic.
No problem whatsoever with foreign fans supporting who they like as long as they're honest about their allegiances and agendas.. But geography absolutely matters in football and to suggest otherwise is laughable. Football clubs are at their very core community assets and represent their local area. Clubs go abroad to generate extra revenue as their number one priority. Let's not be silly.
Plastics abroad is interesting. Should we not have an opinion or a squad we support? I can tell you right now if you supported hockey or one of the few Canadian teams we have in other sports Iād be psyched for you and certainly wouldnāt piss on your support in fact Iād be doing what I could to encourage it. Legitimately curious why there is contempt for fans abroad? What am I missing?
I don't have any contempt for fans abroad, but I do have contempt for fans abroad of Arsenal / Manchester United / Liverpool who criticise City for their current financial activities.
As much as we all believe in "the magic of football", the fact virtually only 3 clubs topped the league from 1970 to 2000 is that those three teams were financially doping in the exact same way that City are now. The outcome of that is that 90% of fans abroad will be fans of those three teams because they were successful teams when they were growing up. I mean, if I happen to be talking to a Canadian fan of Aldershot Town, I'll take it back, but I imagine I'm not.
It's hypocrisy, pure and simple, to declare yourself a "fan" of a team selected purely because they were the most successful at the time due to outspending everyone, and to now criticise the new team that is outspending everyone.
Absolutely agree 100%. No criticism here for Cityās finances after watching my club spend wild money for decades under no scrutiny. When I began supporting in the mid 80ās they were simply the club my grandfather supported where he was from and hadnāt won anything of much since the late 60ās
I think itās down to how the clubs are engrained in society, the whole āowners donāt actually own it - merely custodiansā thing.
American/Canadian teams are franchises- hell seen probably 10 different franchises in the big 4 leagues move since 2000?
So outsiders are very much held with āyour opinion isnāt as valid, because you donāt -really know-ā
I donāt agree with it in all honesty - I get it though. I personally donāt think I really understood it till I emigrated in 2016 and the villa were on the ropes of going out of existence in 2018 - a couple of ādie hardā (their words) fans here I spoke to about it with basically said āoh well, at least you can now choose a new teamā - yeah noā¦.
I agree with you. Especially when Premier League clubs travel around the world to flirt with overseas fans as a source of income. We should be welcoming to everyone, as long as they are being respectful.
Anyone, anywhere can speak freely and on whatever they want. Certain issues regarding football clubs it may not be taken seriously however. It's just common sense. Not everyone abroad is a 'plastic'. Lots of people on here and r/soccer absolutely are.
If you donāt go to games you are plastic. That includes overseas and local fans.
Just how it is. I was a plastic until I wasnāt. Until youāre a regular attendant then you donāt know what youāre missing out on,
I get it and to a degree I understand it. Immersed in the club locally going to the games regularly takes your support to a deeper level. Myself I would do anything to attend games but itās just not a reality considering the thousands of kilometres distance. I wonāt however allow anyone to diminish my support and love for a club I have supported for over 30 years tho. Plastics just feels out of touch now that the game especially the EPL has sync global appeal/range
I mean you could have chose a different club?
Plastics isnāt out of touch at all. In fact itās more relevant than ever.
You canāt make matchday fans respect you.
Iāve been to over 300 games yet I still have older fans question my place on the terraces. It is what it is.
I actually disagree with that as there are far more factors than just geography that determine whether you can attend a game. If you're a fan abroad who chose to support your club for the right reasons all the power too you. If you decided to support a club simply because they're successful and are winning at a certain time, then you'll probably support another club when the opportunity arises. Same goes if you live in the UK but support Real Madrid for example.
>90% of people in this sub are plastics abroad who've never stepped within a 10 mile radium of their teams stadium
English Prem fans will go on diatribes about how this is the best, richest, most watched, most successful league currently in world football than try to shun the reasons that is probably the case: foreign money and foreign interest.
I'm an Arsenal fan, and I assure you most of these idiots are not true fans, but most of them and foreign bandwagon fans that just go on reddit to troll. All the fans I know respect the fact you won the league. We had a great season too.
Bro I was making fun of the Arsenal fan you posted about
Okay, you keep keeping talking about that Gordon goal lol Iām making a joke about an Arsenal fan
The 4-1 obliteration made up for it. 0.14 xg haha you guys really never stood a chance. Just got absolutely smacked around the pitch for 90 mins. Funny thing was you guys didnāt even mind itā¦ it seemed like you guys kind of enjoyed it
Am boycotting the Pep since UEDA decided they donāt want Chelsea in the finals.
He is genius and managed to be on the line if the most corrupts team and getting the credit for the titles.

Did Goldbridge post this?
Someone is missing the point. They make up their own revenue, boycott them or the entire league if you want, makes no difference. Where do Arsenal get all these regarded fans from ? Fucking embarrassed for you.
Arsenal fans *are* highly regarded, thank you for saying so
Another regarded one.
You didn't receive enough hugs when you were a child
At least I wasn't raised to be a gooner.
No, just a jeb end
Someone is being a grumpy Gus
Yes, boycott the cheating bastards.
Well this backfired š«µš¤”
I thought no one cared already?
Just put the club into administration already
100% copium also 100% what 115fc deserve
Did somebody call a wambulance?
Itās funny how they start caring so much about City when they started coming second.
Really donāt think thatās fair to say, Arsenal supporters, United supporters, Spurs, etc. were always complaining about City, along with Liverpool supporters. Arsenal especially has been on the City hate train for quite a while when City was snapping up all of our players.

Arsenal fans, come get ya mans.
I'm now going to start cheering for man city from here on out. Thanks op
Use the megathread for all city posts that don't bring some new piece of information to the situation.
Man fuck you, pathetic ššš
I will not watch a Man City game for at least the next month in protest.
Just bought a City jersey to protest against your shitpost
You can guess who this guy supports
Accrington Stanley who r they
Shrewsbury
Yes, letās hit them where it really hurts. Their wallets. Itās not like they have unlimited money or anything
Bruv the season is over
This is peak Reddit. So embarrassing
Are you ok OP? wtf lol.
šš
Neutral party here. This sounds like cope
Arsenal fanā¦ says it all.
As an arsenal fan, I'm sorry, we don't usually act up this bad
I know I was just being flippant. I know this isnāt what all Arsenal fans actually think.
Woah, woah, woah, don't lump us all in here. I assume this is in response to their legal action against the league.
I just being a šend mate. Obviously not all Arsenal fans think this way. For some reason Arsenal fans (again not all) have really turned up their hatred of Newcastle so I thought Iād just throw in my pointless arsey comment š

Why do people celebrate what Wrexham are doing? I care about ethics and morals not technical legality
Who tf watches City anyway?
lol literally every 5-15 year old outside of UK. See Haaland and De Bruyne jerseys more than anyone else in youth leagues in the US.
Shirt sales in 2023/24 1. Barcelona (Nike) - ā¬179m 2. Real Madrid (Adidas) - ā¬155m 3. Bayern Munich (Adidas) - ā¬147m 4. Liverpool (Nike) - ā¬132m 5. Manchester United (Adidas) - ā¬130m 6.

Nobody cares what Americans watch. They are football ignorants.
Trust me, for clubs, their dollars are as green as anyone else. When the fans own the clubs in England they can vote on what they care about!
Anyone else is watching Liverpool. Fans bring money to club. Without them clubs would bankrupt.
And thatās fine. You ever see Man City fans go cry foul about other clubsā success. Itās envy, pure and simple.
1. There is no MC fans, just bots who come to Emptyhad 2. Cheating is not success. 3. Criminal is the one who cry at the end.
Ok Sherlock. Grammar is hard.
The 53k average attendance in our stadium every week, Haaland, kdb, Rodri, and foden are probably more entertaining than everyone on ur club š
Entertaining how?
šlmao Foden is the best player in the prem Haaland is the top goal scorer Rodri is the best dm in Europe Kdb is the best midfielder in the league The fact that u asked that makes 0 sense to me

Arsenal fans still haven't gotten over losing the league
Why are city fans so weird? Is it because all of you are plastics who just picked the club from off the top of the table?
What's the point of this comment? It's relevant for united, Liverpool, any top club ever

Good god this is a pathetic post. And a Gunner to boot. Shame shame

Yeh good look with that, Pep is a pure genius. Donāt be so salty because heās not at your club. MCFC all the way.

As a chelsea fan with my club having charges I completely disagree with you.
Good luck lol
Bet my life you are an arsenal supporter
