They spent beyond their means under Bates in the 90s/00s and got bailed out because they happened to have fucking billionaires on their doorstep. Historically (considering football also existed before 1993), both clubs had very similar levels of success. Infact City were probably the bigger club before the PL era. You realise Chelsea were getting 12k crowds in the late 80s and early 90s right?

OP to blame for confusion

"Post-relegation"

Smith is the biggest shitcunt of them all. If you really wanted to make a worst XI you'd clone him 10 times and play them all at once.

Alnwick Khizhanishvilli Campbell Williamson Perch Pancrate Smith Gosling Obertan Kuqi Riviere

if we'd kept a team resembling this side rather than constantly pick it apart and buying shite/nobody and not had a shite manager it could have been a very reasonable era. Good squads being put together here.

Man City are the bin man that won the lottery. Chelsea are the rich kid who went to a top private school, fucked up his grades because he was thick as fuck but ended up CEO of a company anyway because his dad pulled some strings. It's easier to stomach with Chelsea. When you're walking around the streets of NYC and you see City tops, it's really pathetic and I'll never get over it. Chelsea under Jose are deplorable though. Not really sure where your argument comes from here. Both clubs had very similar levels of success before the injection of recent money. Man City at least as a fanbase represent a decent working class stock. Chelsea fans have a history of being NF thugs. Chelsea owe postcode and the economic structure of wealth in this country. Their improvement in the 90s and then 00s is because they had people living locally who were very wealthy. If they'd been located in a working class city rather than Kensington they'd have gone the way of clubs like Leeds. Man City are an accident that probably should never have happened, and I don't particularly like that way of gaining success, but its a fair bit more easy to stomach than bourgeois clubs like Chelsea, PSG, Monaco etc.

Would give my left arm to see McClean score infront of the Chelsea fans

He came on against Swansea last week.

Completed 25 of 28 passes. I didn't see the first half but was good in the second IMO as was Anita In a black and white world stats like completion rate are wonderful, but when those alleged 3 misplaced passes have set up opportunities for the opposition and broke up good attacking moves, while the greater percentage of completed passes are backwards or sideways completion stats are fucking useless to show a player's effectiveness. Exactly. At least 2 of those 3 were shite easy sideways passes that led to breaks for Man Utd. He's never ever good enough to play regularly for any team that wants to 'achieve' something. Scrapping, limited, bottom 5 player. A Sunderland player.

#CPFC have scored from 16 set pieces since Alan Pardew became manager; more than any other #BPL side in that period God I hope he dies.

Actual Man Utd/Man City team btw when De Gea is sold: Hart Zabaleta Kompany Otamendi Kolarov Toure Fernandinho Sterling Silva Depay Aguero

Never seen this. Creased.

I've been convinced all summer we'd sell Cisse and sign Austin if we can pull the fees closer together. Still think it will happen. Don't particularly want it to.

it's almost like £15 million midfielders are good and better than ones signed on free transfers

think they shipped out most of them this summer but they've still got a few

Where are the bodies buried you sick fuck?

He was far better with a footballer ahead of him. Incredible how much Obertan just stands around like a cunt when he hasn't got the ball.

Their attacks came down that side because Depay was their only player who could move at pace and take people on.

Always makes me laugh when people say he has 'all the tools' or 'everything but a brain' etc. He's fucking shite at most things. Just a crap player who would struggle in the Championship.

It's amazing how much better at everything he is compared to Obercunt.

Kinda like when they signed Phil 'The Next Duncan Edwards' Jones, who because he was young and English and expensive he was going to play 500 games for them and be awesome. Despite being far too simple up top to ever be a proper defender.

Is he? Fat c*** looks like he's running through treacle half the time. Still think he's by a country mile the dullest 'wonderkid' I've ever seen be hyped up. Yeah I've been thinking this, never been impressed with him or the Callum kid at Arsenal. Seems like "Southampton have a 17yr old in the first team....err £20million" at times. He's just a full-back. Not even one that bombs on all the time or constantly whips in great crosses. £30 million was ludicrous, Southampton have not looked any worse off with Mr average Bertrand there instead.
