Do people actually interact with that guy on here? From what I gather he just makes posts about some club he doesn't see in person and people pretty much ignore it and move on.

 

 

Incorrect, I live at least 900 miles from the ground, but i go to at least two games a season.

 

Now Piss Off...

Great, so you've been to some football matches. The true test is to understand what you are seeing and then share your insights with others if you are going to make posts about it. Not being an absolute tosser who threatens people you don't even know. You treat the trophies in your sig as though they are your own.

Your team is possibly the most mentioned in the country in which they play. If any club needs to be mentioned it's one who isn't mentioned all the time. Everybody is aware of what is happening at Manchester City. They hear it so much it's tiresome. It's even more tiresome when what is being said is not put forward with any true insight and is simply arrogance. You take the victory of a football team as your own and see anybody on here who dissents as your enemy. Childish in the extreme.

my comment on the derby ..

United desrved their win today.. they wanted it more

 

i dont think I am being arragont....

Even the things you say about City are fucking pointless, so if you can't even talk about something interesting when it comes to them I doubt you have much to say about anything else.

 

lol@chelsea..

 

next game The Manchester Derby... !!! utd could go 6 points clear if they win..

 

it all depends whom has the nerves. I think City will win 5-0 ...

 

What a moron. Also, not arrogant at all there.

newcastle are having a great season, dont see you posting much about them these days

So cowardly to change the subject. I'm posting just as much this season about them as last season, so stop talking complete nonsense. Last season I didn't feel the need to post about them after every single game/incident because I'm not a total moron like you who seems to think everyone cares about my club 24/7.

 

I didn't mention them after our first win in ages last Monday, I had previously mentioned them a few times about what's going wrong this season, maybe you should come back when you have a clue what you're on about.

Mancini has taken advantage of the ebay free listing weekend and has listed a pair of tickets to the Champions League/Europa League draw on Friday, seeing as he has no use for them anymore as Man City beat Blackburn's record for worst English club champions league group stage.

 

Even Celtic made it into the knockout rounds!

I'd suggest putting Balotelli on there as well but I fear he may not reach the reserve price of 1p.

i dont think I am being arragont....

 

Arrogant in terms of trying to force a guy out of the thread. And the thing you quoted of yourself was truly the most insightful thing you have ever said on this board. And it was a waste of time everybody reading it as they all knew.

so what we could clear the pompey debts I guess with a months pay of one of our players... !!!

Record annual revenues break £200m threshold for first time in Club’s history

 

- Annual losses more than halved from previous reporting period

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Manchester City has today released its Annual Report for the 2011-12 season. The comprehensive document, which details the achievements across all sections of the Club over the past season, also includes the full financial record for the 2011-12 year.

 

 

The annual report is accompanied for the first time by an “At a glance” supplement, designed to give fans and the broader public a concise and visual guide to the Club’s progress in the same reporting period.

 

 

 

 

This year’s report demonstrates the tangible and positive impact of four years of strategic investment in all operations since the acquisition of the Club by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed in September 2008.

 

 

 

 

In the report, Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak recognises the historic on field achievements of 2011-12 and the impact on the Club at home and overseas.

 

 

He also emphasizes, following the securing of planning permission, the importance of the City Football Academy (CFA) project to the future of the Club and the community in which it resides, calling it “the most significant current initiative to secure the long-term sustainability of the Club’s football operations.”

 

 

 

 

The report reveals that the Club has more than halved its losses, reporting a net loss of £97.9m, down from £197.5m in the previous period.

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, the report highlights that annual turnover has broken the £200m threshold for the first time in the Club’s history with the Club achieving annual revenues of £231.1m in 2011-12.

 

 

 

 

The capital base of the Club has also been strengthened through the issuing of £169m in new equity during the year, avoiding debt based funding and continuing to ensure that the Club is virtually debt free.

 

 

Lets all hail Sheikh Mansour

 

 

 

 

Chief Executive Officer Ferran Soriano comments on the very encouraging results and gives his impressions of the Club he joined in September this year, saying “What I have found is a Club on the verge of a historic transformation, reinforced by a genuine commitment to doing things well. It is a Club with a rich history and the potential for an even brighter future.”

 

 

He further points out that alongside significant investment in the playing squad, the Club continues to focus on revenue growth.

 

 

 

 

Whilst the 2011-12 financial results represent a further step towards achieving the Club’s objective of long-term sustainability both on and off the field, the application of UEFA allowable reliefs for certain categories of expenditure and investment in 2011-12, position the Club well for compliance with

I know you're not the best with math, or anything really, but the simple explanation is that if you spend £100m less on transfers in a season, you're probably going to save £100m. No doubt that that City is gaining worldwide revenue from merchandising but the wage bill is continuing to increase.

 

But I see you highlighted the capital bond being self-sustaining in future, just explain to us what that actually means.

Fifa refuses to back Lionel Messi or Godfrey Chitalu for goal record

Fifa refuses to back Lionel Messi or Godfrey Chitalu for goal record

 

Fifa has refused to get involved in the debate about who holds the world record for scoring the most goals in a year.

 

It was widely reported that Lionel Messi's 86th goal of 2012, which he scored on Sunday, surpassed a mark set by Germany's Gerd Mueller 40 years ago.

 

But the Zambian Football Association claimed Godfrey Chitalu had scored 107 goals for club and country in 1972.

 

Fifa does not keep domestic records, so "it's not an official Fifa record", spokesman Alex Stone told BBC Sport.

 

The world governing body said that, given it only maintains statistics for the international competitions it runs, it is not possibly to ratify records from club football around the world.

 

"We don't have a database which details every football game played in every country from around the world since day one of their formation," Stone said.

 

"It's certainly nothing to do with bias - if we can confirm records from our tournaments we like doing that.

 

"It's the sort of data fans and the media like to see."

 

Stone confirmed that Fifa has not recognised Messi as holding the record.

 

"It's a record where someone in the media obviously collected statistics from somewhere and noticed Messi was about to pass that record."

I hate to say this but I think Newcastle are playing better when we simply lump it up. When it comes to tight passing the City players want the ball more and look stronger.

 

City deserve the lead so far but we haven't done badly at all. I don't know what was happening with our left side defensively in the first half, they cut through so many times.

so what we could clear the pompey debts I guess with a months pay of one of our players... !!!

 

So what?

 

Fratton FC will rise from the ashes once Pompey finally goes under.
