On Tuesday, the Manchester City official website claimed that they had already sold out the weekend’s fixture against Fulham. This obviously came as a surprise, given that just 30,000 blues bothered to show up for their League Cup semi-final against Liverpool a few weeks ago, with tickets being sold for as little as a tenner on the day.

“With every home league game selling out so far this season, becoming a Blue member with ticket priority will give you that all important chance to get tickets for the remaining home games this season.”

Really?

For some reason, Manchester City’s official Twitter account claimed that the ground was full. Why do City fans always lie?

Welcome to the Etihad. Sit where you like.

The tickets were originally on sale at £35 for adults, £15 for 16-21s and £5 for children, although over the past few days they have been trying to flog them for a tenner at local colleges and the university, as well as giving them away for free at local schools.

Tonight is just the latest example in a long list which makes a mockery out of the City claim that Manchester is blue.

Interestingly enough, there were 10,000 more people in the ground two years ago for their last League Cup semi. Unless they’re playing Man United, the council house is never full.

A big well done to Richards and co. for winning in their heads today. Also, a big well done to United for winning on the pitch.

A big well done to Kompany and co. for being the “moral winners”. Aslo, a big well done to United for being the “actual winners”.

Come May, United won a record equalling 18th title and Liverpool were potless, finishing four points behind us.

United and Ferguson have continued on with their success, winning the title and reaching European Cup finals, whilst Benitez’s career has taken a nose dive. He took Jose Mourinho’s treble winning Inter side and lead them down in the league table before being sacked.

Benitez was recently questioned about Ferguson’s success but embarrassingly claimed that it was the money that our manager had spent, not his personality, which lead to so many trophies. He was obviously ignoring the fact that he spent more money than Ferguson during his time in England.

Our manager has just won a record 19th title whilst Benitez is a jobless. Our manager is winning trophies whilst Benitez is blogging about it. Yes, you read that correctly. The man behind the Rafalution is now a blogger!

It turns out Benitez was actually a brilliant manager, if he does say so himself. Read all about it.
