As I have said before, these are the things you have slagged Utd off for 'selling our soul' during the last 20 years, but now you are doing exactly same yet still carrying on with the local club act.

Surely any right minded city fan must have cringed when the players were on sky sports news singing happy birthday to Nelson Mandela. And putting happy birthday messages on the scoreboard for the Thai prime minister?

Anyone off here putting in for the new banner at city thanking the arabs for everything they've done for the club?

Peter Crouch
Jermain Defoe
Robbie Keane

Not a bad looking forward line up there i think Tottenham should be challenging Europa League places next season with the squad they have...

What about Bent and Sandra?

Sunderland & Cutting up the Half-Time oranges...

So last week was Everton v City on here this week its Man U v City do we play the winner next week?

Some pretty funny posts on here lately.

I might as well join in and let you know that I shoved a tenner on Owen to get top scorer in the League this season, managed to get 80/1.

Another good performance by United yesterday, Giggs and Tosic looked really good. Tosic seems to have a fairly decent final ball too which is good.

Macheda has also looked good so far. I still think we lack a creative player, hopefully Hargreaves comes back and Fletch carries on his good form so we don't need to sign a new ball-winner.

It is fairly classless and very small time, however, it seems to have done its job of winding United fans / coach up, as long as he doesn't score a winning goal against us, I'll be quite happy for you to have a huge poster of a defining moment of our 18th title in Manchester.





As shocking, classless and disgusting as that was, it wasn't really a surprise. Selling out to the USA / corporate busybodies was always gunna make that happen, I'm just glad the club managed to retain a bit of its respect by deciding not to see the shirts as replicas.

I was wondering the other day why we haven't made a real push at a creative centre midfielder this summer or overspent on one, I then seen Adem Ljajic play....just hope he can adjust to the premiership. Although I'm sure more educated fans will tell me he's gash and no Michael Johnson or Lucas Lieta.

He going to play next season?

Arrives in January I think, some player Modric like but better.

Have you had a look Luke?

Looks good on You tube but then again most do, thought Zoran Tosic was the better of the two?

Tosic is a bit more polished due to his age, although Ljajic is more talented and will be the better.

I am sure that I caught a glimpse of another flag that said “NGAF”






I did say it looked a bit silly.





I know they will generally be anti-Liverpool FC. The point I was making is that these adopted ‘northerners’ become anti-scouse. It’s almost like they are ‘trying’ to be northern. It’s all very contrived.




Our vision is to become one of the biggest clubs in the world. The club are not stating it as a fact. Do you suggest that we have a vision of 'top four'? If you look at the aspirations / vision of private sector organisations, many of them will say something along the lines of "To be one of the best ......... companies in the world". It wouldn't be a vision if it wasn't aspirational. It's something they aspire too, not what they expect will definitely happen.

City fans have always been able to laugh at themselves. Utd fans, in general, and the club, have shown themselves to be lacking in humour. The club don't have to laugh about it themselves, but they could try to be a bit more professional about it. It appears that a large number of fans, rather than using it as basis of some banter, or having a laugh about it, have tried to question the morality of it.

Did you see Liverpool kick up a fuss about the "Everton 2" shop in Liverpool 1? That too was a cheeky joke. I didn't see Liverpool FC whinging about it.


Fella, the person you spoke to is not representative of City fans IMO. Blues are having a laugh about it all. Personally, I am simply relieved that we are in the Prem and in existence. We were rock bottom before Frank came along. Then in the summer last year, we were close to financial meltdown once more before the takeover by Sheikh Mansour.

I am surprised that you find it unreasonable for City fans to feel overly excited about what has gone on. Three years ago we were linked with Jermaine Easter and Izale Macleod. In the past year we have brought in some top players and been linked to Kaka, Eto’o and Terry. It’s like going from being unable to buy a pair of shoes but the following week winning the lottery and choosing between an Aston Martin and Masarati as your ‘run around’.

Why is that cringeworthy?




Do you mean the King?




I don't see anything wrong with that. Don't you wish you were as happy with your owner? Any flags for Glazier planned?

How many times have you seen them play?

Tosic quite alot but Ljajic less so, they may lack the physical presence for the premiership though and take time to bed in, also I'll tell you about Matt James as well, a good lad in our reserves, when is your wonderkid Weiss due to come through or is he just another Martin Phillips?

Can't wait for the new season now got me ticket for our first home game this morning (nice monday night game

) still think theres alot going to happen in the transfer market which will have a big effect on teams, for us its mainly this Alonso saga which is still up in the air.

Mascha going as well?

Many kids fall by teh way side. Since Buster, Dickson Etuhu and Lee Croft have failed to live up to expectations. Just like the 358 George Bests that United have had since the late 1970s.

I think you meant 'one of our wonderkids'.

He's looking good, and has joined the first team squad. Like most youngsters whose role is of the creative variety, his decision-making needs to improve.

Ronaldo was like that as is Nani now, and it's 456 George bests.

Who knows he was Barca bound but they just got robbed by inter, lose them two though and we might be in trouble because you just know the yanks won't give Rafa all the money from them deals to replace them, read somewhere last week that we pay £1mill in interest every 9 days to pay for the loan makes me feel sick.

I thought we had Stoke on a Wednesday first up?

Your right I was thinking of Villa still prefer a nice sunny 3pm for the first home game.

And as I have said before – don't make such sweeping generalisations. Otherwise I'll start suggesting that 'you' are a hooligan or have been in the past.



Why?

I don't think so now. I think they managed to tie Toure down for another year, as well as spending stupendously on Zlatan.

The Alonso deal really is annoying, I hope Rafa puts it back into our hands and sets them a deadline, all this waiting around for them to pay up is just taking the p*ss.
