Real Madrid v Manchester City

Who do you want to win the tie?

  • Real Madrid

  • Manchester City

Results are only viewable after voting.
I want City to win everything, every season, and absolutely smash teams (except Boro of course). Watching other 'elite' clubs spending billions trying to compete against them only to see them to go on to win every major competition, year after year, at some point will be seen as a mockery of the whole system.

I honestly hope a franketsein club like City will eventually destroy the whole system through its utter dominance, and then eventually destroy itself. So I hope they do the treble this year, and the quadruple next year, and win the Premier League for the next 10 years on the bounce (unless Boro do a Leicester and sneak one!) 😁

Why do you prefer them to the other elite clubs? Surely Newcastle fall into the same bracket then? Chelsea were too under Roman?

I don't prefer any elite clubs, that's the point. I prefer it to be like it was in the 70's when we had 8 different champions in a decade. But City are already streets ahead of the rest by some margin and on their way to 3 PL championships in a row. Win it next year and they become the first to win 4 in a row. The sooner one becomes so dominant that everyone else becomes an also-ran, the sooner we might see some radical changes.

Hell might freeze over first though.

One thing is for sure, as long as there's a small group of exclusively rich clubs owned by nation states competing against each other and all having a chance at winning the PL or CL, nothing will change.

I don't think is likely. What's more likely is more corrupt Middle Eastern owners buy clubs to compete and eventually it won't just be City, United and the Skunks, it'll be half the PL or more. And they'll let it happen, I'm sure.

Yep, that's definitely a scenario that could happen too. Sportswashing seems to be tolerated, and dodgy regimes will now look at the English game as a soft touch and the place to raise their profiles after seeing how easily the skunks embraced the Saudi's.

I have been speaking to a lot of United fans too recently about theirs and they seem pretty up for it tbh. And they're not City/Chelsea/Newcastle who never win anything, thats a club that until 10 years ago were in City's position albeit not from sportswashing (even better in European competition) and in only ten years have sunk to these desperate levels of frustration.
 
City because Madrids fans are the most entitled in the world. Insufferable. And every second person in Spain supports them. Don't get it.

Growing up with Man Utd dominating and having a couple of Man Utd fans as mates, i like anything that annoys them so a City treble would be great.

I can agree with this.

Going through school in the late 90s and early 00's, it was just full of plastic Mancs.

So yes, watching their 'noisy neighbours' not only play incredible football, but sweep up the majority of the silverware, each season, is quite amusing.

SAF certainly wasn't daft and did the right thing and retired before Pep's City came along.

6 different champions in the 10 seasons between 70/71 and 79/80. Including Liverpool who won it 5 times. They won it even more in the 80s.
5 different champions in the last 10 seasons including City who have won it 5 times also.
Off the top of my head so I hope that's right!

Surely City have won it more than 5? Once they win it this year of course. Pellegrini won it too.

This is exactly what will happen. Man City & Newcastle United are the very start.
 
City all day long for the same reasons as Gaz. I take great delight in watching all the so called big clubs and UEFA constantly trying to find ways to stop them. I genuinely hope they win the PL and CL every year for the next 10 years

ok but about to be 7.

5 in the last ten seasons, before this one. I haven't counted the one they haven't won yet!

I think people who cite Citys dominance as evidence Football is not as competitive as it used to be forget that Liverpool were just as dominant or even more so in the 70 and 80s and Man United were in the 90s and noughties.
