Lol reading through this thread really makes me laugh.

Salford are and always will be cra@p simple as that.

Great teams play bad and still win. I'd expect the people of Salford to know that above anyone.

5 (four if Gleeson doesn't come back) of the best players in SL to return over the next month + Hock means i'm confident of our chances no matter what Salford fans think.

I think we all need to calm down!

Who if any of us thought that at the beginning of last season we were going to be Champions?

Even though we went on to win it and were the best team by a long way (sorry i must stop being arrogant

) this season i think was always going to take a few matches to get going from the the high of last season, so what we didn't play as well as we can but a win is a win it will all come good in the end (sorry being arrogant again).


P.S thankfully Salford were not as good as us tonight (Sorry was i being arrogant?)

Comfortable win without playing great, 5 days after playing one of (if not the) best club team to come to these shores, with all the other crapola flying about to try and distract them.

Plenty of positives there and now the lads get 4 days off to recuperate.

Mate, I suggest you look at your own posts before you start preaching about others! So all Wigan fans are arrogant because you disagree with one or two posts on an internet message board? Have a word with yourself!

Real Mancs support City.

Spoken like a fountain of knowledge, I suspect most Wigan fans reading this will be embarrassed for you.

Er no they don't

Salford Fans





never seen so many people hurt over not getting a bit of praise in a game they've been beaten soundly in

can you not run along to your own board and discuss ways to avoid the wooden spoon this season?

What a load of horse muck

Tell that to the swathes of Irish folk getting back onto their planes at Manchester Airport, or the hoardes of execs in their beemers, mercs & audi's hurrying back to Surrey, or even the masses of Eastern Europeans that have recently sprung up on the terraces. The majority of 'real' Mancs have been priced out of season tickets at OT.

Why would "real" Mancs watch United? United's ground is in Stretford which is not and never has been in Manchester.

The only time United play soccer in Manchester is when they play at City's ground. In the old days that was Maine Road now it's at Eastlands.

Its a suburb, Manchester covers a lot of places under its banner.

Stretford is in Trafford.

the borough of Trafford, all under the umberalla of Manchester

In that case you would have to include Wigan, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport, Bury etc.

There's no way I'm ever going to say I'm from Manchester!

If you live in Stretford you don't pay any rates to Manchester Council, you don't have to ask Manchester Council for permission build an extension etc. because It's not in Manchester.

I was born in the shadows of Maine Rd, but am a red. Pretty Manc as far as I can work out. As we're all my friends who I grew up with in the seventies and eighties. I still work in Manchester and I know a lot of people from Manchester and they certainly ain't blues. Nor do the vast majority of them, who are season ticket holders, come on a plane, drive a Merc, or have ever been to Surrey.

Think you'll find that all of the top clubs have fans that come from all over the world, and a lot of the 'local' fans are priced out. Manchester is a good mixture of red and blue,and has areas with pockets of each. As has Liverpool or Glasgow. So 'real manc's are blue' is a load of shoite. Keep churning out the myths though eh

When you live in Manchester you soon realise that all this 'no one from Manchester supports Man U' rubbish is just that. It's a split in the city just like Liverpool/Everton and Hull F.C/Hull K.R. Man U just happens to have global appeal as well

I work in Manchester and i'd say three quaters of the people I work with support United and a Quater City.

I've been to Old Trafford watching Latics a couple of times though and the amount of Irish, Norwegian, Cockneys etc there is unbelievable. To be fair though it's much the same at Liverpool and will be at City in time as they jump on the bandwagon.

Football has gone to the dogs in recent times. I've always been a huge fan but i've pretty much had enough with all the spoilt brat antics from the big time charlie players recently. The reaction from Nani yesterday pretty much summed it all up.

Things like that wouldn't happen if the ref just sent players off for it. I hope to god rugby never gets like that.

Right you are. Any other die hard mancs have no got rid of their season ticket because of the glazers. Even the top tier of the stretford end is now full of day trippers and foreigners. Thats the route football is heading appart from the away fans.

I know of one guy (Irish) who has a section of thirty plus seats up in the top tier. Every fortnight a different thirty Irish people sit in these seats. The guy who organises it is seen 2-3 times throughout the season.

In addition to the season ticket you pay for, it's compulsory for you to sign up to the cup games (they actually deduct the cash from your account). Each European match has costed my mates £50-60+ and for each round they progress to, they add an additional fiver to the amount deducted.

If you knew the history of proper Manchester you would realise how stupid that comment is!

Why not educate me then?

Manchester is a city in North West England. It has a population of 460,000 and doesn't include Stretford. Or Salford.

If you mean Manchester United started life as Newton Heath (which is in Manchester) I know that.
When they moved out of Manchester and into Stretford they changed their name.

Who gives an actual f*ck where people who support Man U are from? This is a RL forum!
