Even though City are massive spenders and perhaps not meeting financial fair play?

Anyone but United, Arsenal or Chelsea.

So, Man City or Liverpool then.

They've also put money into redeveloping the local area and created jobs in the process. You obviously to want to draw parallels between City and Chelsea and people's view of Chelsea but what you ignore is Man City have gone about being super rich in a different way.

When was the last time you saw Kompany behaving like John Terry? Pellegrini said something stupid about the ref the other week but it's not a regular occurrence in the same way it is with Mourinho and unlike Mourinho he apologised immediately. The one trouble maker they did have they got rid of and even he was, for the most part, a loveable buffoon.

As for the FFP it was pushed through by the likes of David Gill to try and protect the success the likes of United were having, perhaps he should have concentrated on persuading Fergie to move with the times and not to pick Moyes either. The big clubs don't want proper financial fair play, they want to stop clubs like City, and ironically Chelsea, from competing with them. If the traditional big sides are threatened by a rule that doesn't go to their advantage then you can bet your life that that rule won't come in.

Then again you're just playing your usual little games and knew all that anyway

It's like picking which STI you want to catch.

I've gone City as any of the others would go on about it for too long.

Liverpool - 'back where we belong' etc
Arsenal - 'the drought is over' etc
Chelsea - 'Mourinho fapfapfap' etc

I'd like to see Arsenal win it. Reward for a bit of patience in sticking with Wenger

Yep. Their fans are genuine. I remember last season at the Mad Stad all they were interested in was back their team with singing. Non stop as well. Their history makes their fans more humble at this moment in time even with the expectation of their spending. Good luck to them.

This is good to hear. I can't see why fans of a team in a different division give a shit about who wins the PL. It doesn't affect them in the slightest.

I cringe when the half time scores are given out at the Mad Stad and one of the big teams are losing, to be greeted with a massive 'cheer'.

It's a bit understandable with major rivals.

Good point.

By ignoring this post. It's an "8 out of 10 cats that expressed a preference preferred whiskas" type post. So if you don't have a preference, jog on.

I voted Chelsea only because the author used the side-splitting term "Cheatski" (what's that all about anyway?)

Lies/cheating...all the same to me. Mourinho contending that Huntie deliberately injured Cech and that the ambulance staff took their time. Other incidents under a Mourinho Chelsea (particularly Mark I) too many to list. Sorry if that offends you as a Reading fan.

My choice of team to support has no bearing on my views or posts in this part of HNA. I could find a reason to want any of those teams to win the league:
Arsenal: they do play lovely football don't they?
Chelsea: I like Mourinho. His first press conference in this country was a stroke of genius.
Liverpool: always had a soft spot for them.
Man Utd: hardest of the lot but still - I like More and don't want him to fail.

It just struck me a little off that your poll choices could serve to skew people's choices.
