I think more will be written about this over the next few weeks, but tonight (the Man City night) every neutral from every division and every country needs to give us a little pat on the back. Tottenham saved football on this evening and its effects will be felt for many years to come.
Let me start by saying if you're a city fan who have followed your team for a decade or more, i pay tribute to you and your loyalty, you were a lovely club and one i loved to support on the side. But a few years ago you sold your soul to the devil and then got in bed with him and now you're on your own now, you're not one of us any more, you have become the anti-football.
I don't want Manchester City to prosper, i want them to loose every match they ever play, not because of any malice to that particular historic home of football, but because I don't like the beautiful game being turned into a cold-hearted-soulless experiment. An experiment born out of egotism and boredom - can you spend your way to success.
I don't want City to prosper because their spending power would unbalance the game all the way down to the lower leagues. Football is in a financial crisis as it eats itself, gorging on its own glory and self importance, we need less of it, not someone taking it to anew height of ridiculous.
I don't want City to prosper because I don't want to see the words investors, tycoon, billionaire, limitless, money men, anonymous owners anywhere near our game anymore.
With CL football and their investors, City could have turned football up-side-down. Financially well run clubs like Spurs and Arsenal would have been dropped out of any and all title races, whilst recklessness and self promotion would have been rewarded.
Spurs put the handcuffs on City, without CL football, their spending power means very little.
Their experiment has been a major success, its just not the answer they were looking for. They have proven you can't buy success nor demand it. They have proven football is part business driven by numbers and also part artistry driven by human spirit and human emotions. Football is an artistry, driven from the soul, powered by the need to do something great, made historic by the unpredictable.
Manchester City, you have everything a footballing club needs except a heart and soul and for the time being, footballs' heart and soul is not for sale.

We have defiently affected footballing history tonight.
"Modric could play in any team in the world in my opinion, he's a fantastic footballer, top, top class."
Very well put Belondon!
If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs and blaming it on you ... you probably haven't a clue what's going on!
Well said. Totally agree.
Sombody said on here the other day Manchester City represent everything wrong with the premier league and football in general...i dont think ive read a more true phrase since i joined these forums.
"It's about getting the best out of the lads and confidence. Life is about confidence. Whatever you do in life, if you are not confident you don't perform. It's up to me to get the confidence running through the players and if I can get that instilled you'll see a team that will really play." - Harry Redknapp - 29/10/2008
belondon - Fantastic read! i bow to you !
COYS!
YOU HAVE TO EARN MY RESPECT HERE, I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THESE SO-CALLED SPURS FANS !!! IF I TALK TO YOU I MIGHT ACTUALLY LIKE YOU AND RESPECT THAT YOUR A TRUE YID!! IF I THINK YOUR NOT , DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF I INSULT YOU, YOU DIRTY SCRUBBY FAKE YID !! ..... COYS !!!
i could not agree more about it
and were going to do it again next year when we beat them again for CL !but next season will be on top for the league and they'll be fightin for forth !!( fyi arsenal would be 5th :P:P )
We showed that money can't buy the title...
even a few mates who usually give me abuse about supporting spurs admitted they were happy for us because we got there by building a side and that us loyal fans deserve it!
the country is celebrating with us lads, well done!!

I think we have done football a big favour. Tonight also proves that no matter who you buy, you won't necessarily have a team that works for each other - that's what we have and that's why we won.
I have a mate whos an Arsenal fan and even he was supporting us tonight.
I still can't believe we did it.

Hi, all.
First i wanna congratulate you all on 4th spot. As much as i am happy, i am missing that thrill and shivers going through my body and spine. And it is only because it isn't club that comes naturally to support. Which in this case would be dinamo zagreb. Nevertheless, I am very very proud of harry's boys.
Off to a subject.
As much as i agree and like that we did a favor to football tonight, it has become somewhat of a trend for billionaires to invest money, whether for their personal enjoyment, wether to be seen more on tv, whether for actual liking football (yeah, right...).
What i want to say is, and god i hope i'm wrong- I think it is a matter of time before every (position/history wise) big club will be bought.
