    City, just to see the look on Alex Ferguson/Wayne Rooney/Man United fans faces when they realise they've lost the title to City.

    City, I'd love to see the reaction provoked from the money bag millions winning the title. there'd be so many varying perspectives, including that of their own.

    That's just a fabrication that's been going on for years - there are plenty of mancs who support united. You're more likely to find city fans in Stockport or Tameside - well away from the city of Manchester itself.
    Read my post again. Man U have plenty of Mancunian fans, but they are in the minority.

    That's not true either.

    I think he means Mancunian fans are the minority of Man United fans which is definitely true considering Man Utd have about 200 million fans.

    City. You can't blame them for buying players that are going for the league if they've got the cash at their disposal. What were you expecting them to do, say 'Thanks for the offer of many millions, but we'll stick with picking up players on Bosmans.'

    Hardly.

    I took it as him saying that there are more City fans in Manchester than there are United fans in Manchester? Could be wrong though.

    I have no preference over the two Manchester clubs, but as a neutral the drama of City drawing and Utd winning would be amazing to see unfold.

    United. They were nothing before some rich Arab dude came along. He chucked his billions into the team and it actually paid off. That is the most infuriating part. They proved you can buy success, the club buying every player they see is pathetic. A team needs to grow, not be thrown together.
    And how did United buy Ronaldo, Rooney, Nani, SMith, Evra, Vidic, Nani, Anderson, Berbatov, Tevez, Valencia, Young etc...

    Man United have done exactly the same thing, just over a longer period of time.

    Through money earned from being a successful football club. Yes we have spent money on players, but we have also produced a lot of our own players, something which city aren't doing.

    Shut up. United have bought their success too. United's starting XI was worth more than city's. United cannot say city don't deserve it because they bought the title.
    Afraid thats wrong tbh.

    Dont know where this nonsense is coming from and why random people keep spouting it when its wrong.

    Could say the same thing about United in Salford/Bolton/Bury to be honest. Plenty of both sides in Manchester itself.

    I think City winning would makes things more interesting as I can only see these 2 local rivals challenging for the title in the next few years...and Utd have nearly dominated the title in the last decades.

    Most Man City fans come from Greater Manchester.

    Most Man Utd fans come from Surrey.

    I couldn't care less who wins it, although I'd rather see Man U take it. The Premier League title has been irrelevant now for about a decade. It's almost decided before the season even starts. Why bother playing a competition of 38 games at all? Just auction the trophy every July and be done with it. Man City can pay £200 million for it every year to keep it. The race for 4th and relegation battle are the only things keeping the league interesting. Thank **** that "big 4" never lasted.

    Having fans in other parts of the country/ world is just part of being a successful club...

    If you don't like clubs for this you are never going to like anybody in the top 5. City have got loads of glory supporters in far reaches since the money started rolling in - just as would happen for any other club
