With Manchester City more than happy to roll over and help us win the title last weekend, United fans showed their appreciation with a special and spontaneous chant. Combining our mocking of the FSW with our mocking of the bluenoses, “City are shit and that’s a fact” was created.
If you want to carry on with the mocking, you can buy them from our Manchester United themed shop from as little as £8.

Man Utd News 24/7
united players are a bunch of childish assholes who know less than they talk about.city will come gud next season and crush them like we did.
@ LFCfaithful – Looks like Liverpool has also become like City…the only highlight of the season is to beat United…what a fall for a club with such a rich history…
…and end the season with nothing like L’pool?
Liverscum – enjoy the highlight of your season, while we’ve got the erm let me think, oh thats it! While we go for another double.
RE: LFCFAITHFUL
It’s always “Next season” with your shower isn’t it. Well in my opinion next season you will win sweet FA (again)!
I’ve also sent a can of WD40 to Anfield, because evidently the your silver polish lid has rusted on!
Also; Liverpool’s trophy cleaner will be re-employed at anfield…..they need somebody to dust the empty shelves in the trophy cabinet
let’s face it.
I enjoy having friends who support Liverpool.
They make winning even more enjoyable.
At the start of every season, I have to hear so much bitter nonsense.
Everything about United is about luck and the players’ cheat. Fergie cheats. Refs help us (yes, even the ones who sing YNWA in pubs – as reported by the press).
Ah…. this bitterness is so funny.
By the same token, we need City fans.
The myth that there are no United fans in Manchester is absurd, but if it makes them feel better than so be it.
When the Glazers took over, I had to endure so many taunts, but united fans fought harder than City fans AND Liverpool fans who just bent over for Thaksin and the yanks.
United fans> City shite and Liverfools!
Without Liverpool fans, who can we gloat too? City are barely known outside the Manchester border but Liverpool have some dork supporting them here and there!
While we lift the trophy they will be crying that they beat us twice this season just like Shitty did last season. Ohhh life is sweet!
Ok i will bite…
As a city fan i was again disappointed by another routine defeat last Sunday, but comments that follow show how little you understand the true supporter, yes i would like city to be in a position to challenge for silver ware, and perhaps with our new backing we might in a few years, but that’s not why i support my team, if you are only interested in counting cups and the like i pity you. Try supporting your team and spending less time belittling others.
Atys – it’s fairly easy for you to preach, isn’t it? Afterall, you’re not really in a position to belittle anyone. When you’ve been in our shoes, winning the league season after season, with the local bitters singing about a tragedy that still deeply effects the feelings of the fans every time we meet, then you can tell us how we should behave.
Until then, go and put the tea towel back on your head.
City are Shit and that’s a FACT, lol
All about City – again. Let it go ladies……
What an extremely classy, hilarious t-shirt you have come up with there. I do hope that many United fans buy one if only to advertise their sheer stupidity.
The fact that, despite all your success,this is the best you can come up with speaks volumes. I must make one about how much debt United are in and how gloriously rich we are.
With regard to your comments regarding The Munich Air Disaster I couldn’t agree more. I wish the minority of City idiots would stop singing about it as it is disrespectful and boring. Please explain how you think this t-shirt will help?
Scott the Red……..preaching comes easy to you though! Was the ‘where’s your famous 23′ song also spontanious on Sunday?
Explaining to my young children, now young men, why we support City and not United I said football goes in cycles and during their short life United have been top dog but eventually that will change.
Despite all the money United generate they cannot even find a mere 25 million to buy Tevez where as city can buy 10 Tevez’s and still have money to spend. United are in serious debt and have big individual payments to make in the next few years on top of the interest payments they are already struggling to make.
United have been very lucky hitting great form around the same time the prem, champions league and sky cash machines were created allowing them to buy success when in different times success would have naturally faded away.
When United fade as they will we will find out the answers to questions like will united be able to service their debt and will 35,000 jonny come lately glory seeking fans stick around?
Cobwebcat – you had to be there. It was funny last Sunday. I can understand why you wouldn’t have been laughing though.
And I thought City fans were supposed to have a sense of humour!
RE: Cobwebcat Said,
United have debt, they are not in debt, there is a difference the value of the club is more than the money owed, so they are not in debt.
” How gloriously rich we are.” Who are the ” We”? , it’s not Man City is it, but some rich arab who has you by the short and curlies, and how long do you think it is before he gets fed up with your useless lot, how is it now since you won anything, is it 33 years?
If you are so “gloriously rich” why don’t you buy your own ground? or at least one you can fill
Football goes in cycles? When was your last “cycle”?
Talking about all your money, classy.
Scared, uh? You know you’ve got massive debt and are going to make a Leeds soon or later, while City is going to flourish and take your place in the football elite, so you console yourself with these chants now that you still can.
Oh, by the way, say hello to Tevez, next season he’s going to score again in the derby. Only that he will do that with a sky blue shirt on and shut you all up!
Its amazing how obsessed Man YOOOOOOOOO fans have become about City for the 1st 10 mins against wigan all they did was sing about City.
Now that your poor relations would you like to borrow a couple of billion quid to bail you out of the muck, and allow you to buy players instead of looking for bosmans
We would rather talk about the amount of trophies we have won, Citeh with all your money you can’t attract any players to sign for you, bar Craig Bellamy.
You will always be in our shadow, and talking about our debt and the amount of money your sugar Daddy has is the best you can do?, really is pathetic and shows how small minded you are, like your club, small.
“Despite all the money United generate they cannot even find a mere 25 million to buy Tevez where as city can buy 10 Tevez’s and still have money to spend”
The amusing thing is though you can’t because nobody will join Citeh! You stick to your Bridges and Bellamys Russ you bitter.
Stephen – Sorry mate you beat me to it.
Its interesting to see how Utd fans claim the Manchester derby is not so important, yet make a T shirt about it?
Re: The Munich disaster I agree 100% it is terrible that anyone would sing anything negative about a terrible event, which also oncluded the death of Frank Swift. But after hearing what Utd fans sing about Hillsborough its a little difficult to try claiming the moral high ground. All clubs have a minority.
But I hope wearing a T shirt dedicated to Man City gives you a nice warm feeling inside. And you call us Bitter.
Russ – it’s not just their short life that United have been top dogs though, is it? City fans have to be at least 40 to remember the last time they won a trophy. Between 1976 and 1992, United won 4 FA Cups, 1 League Cup, 1 UEFA Cup Winners Cup and 1 UEFA Super Cup. Between 1976 and now United have won 20 trophies.
CityFanFromRome – we’re terrified. We usually shit ourselves over the 10th placed team in the country who we’ve beaten home and away.
See you in a couple of weeks!
Istanbul, Istanbul, you’re not coming
Istanbul, Istanbul, you lied
Istanbul, Istanbul, you’re not coming
You’re not coming cos you’re fucking shite!
Scott the Red
No ones preaching …. I was just saying that you should enjoy the sucsess your team is having and not belittle any body else.
As to referance to Munich i have never and will never have any time for people who make light of any tradgedy football related or not.
Atys
CTID
Scott.
They just said on the news that Heathrow’s fifth runway is going to be built at Eastlands, because it’s the quickest way in and out of Europe.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE BIN DIPPERS AND MANCHESTER SHITTY FANS DOING HERE?Your shit!admit it for god’s sakes.
33 years and counting………………………..
Dear “Macheda is GOD”
You are of course correct, we shouldn’t spend too much time on sites of this nature. However, your atricle cites City and as such is likley to be picked up by the search engines, news feeds, etc.. that we use. It’s a World Wide Web, that’s the nature of the beast.
A quick way round this would be to not cite City in your artical headers and abstracts, possibly concentrate on United. Otherwise we are always likely to pay you the odd visit.
All the best.
Atys – Course you’re preaching. You’re telling us not to belittle you and we should only concentrate on supporting our own team. I’m simply saying it’s fine for you to tell us what to do when you haven’t been in our position. If you think City fans would behave any differently if the circumstances were reversed, you’re having a laugh.
Your fans mock us and then you expect us not to laugh at you? Your fans mock Munich, your fans mocked us with USA flags when the Glazers bought us… but you preach about it being wrong us for to laugh at you when you play like shite and are scraping a place in the top 10 despite being the richest club in the World? Don’t be so fucking precious.
So you don’t think 700 million of loans, up 50 million from last year and obviously going up another 50 next year and a pre tax loss of 45 million quid last year + 69 million a year interest payments is not debt?
How about the fact that Uniteds loans are being traded on the open market and being sold for less than their value (up to 50% less) to anyone who wants to buy them, people with no love of football who would think nothing of closing the club down if there is a buck to be made or interest payments missed.
There are a few one off large payments to banks due in the next few years in the region of 100 million quid that are going to make a dent in the coffers unless these can be renegoiated into even more debt, where will it end
I know you reds, especially anyone under30 thinkyour success will last forever but what happens if United come 5th one year? How will they pay the debt they are already struggling with.
The idea that United are not in debt is silly, if you sell up now what do you have? Who would buy your stadium? Its less than worthless unless United fans keep paying to come watch, if you sell your players you don’t have a team. Anyway who would buy Unitd for 700, 800 million or more, they would just be paying of the debt. Why do that when there are lots of prem teams available for 100 million and you can invest the remaining 700 m in the club
As for City not owning their own ground, whats would be the point? Its ours in all but name, we only pay a small % to the council if our crowd attendance is above 34,000 otherwise its free and we have a 200 year lease on it, longer than football has exisited. That said our owners intend buying it if the council will part with it and extending it regardless.
I have never had a problem with Manchester’s only prem league team playing in a ground owned by Manchester people, what could be more natrual.
Scott the Red
Sorry you feel like that.
You are correct i do not know what it’s like looking from such a lofty position, but I like to think I would spend my time enjoying our success, not having cheap shots at other teams and fans.
Nothing wrong with a bit of good natured banter, like your debt and US backers etc. And indeed our money and failed attempts to sign top class players, and as you said scrapping to get a Euro spot….
But the whole article is stupid you are suggesting that a team that finishes in the top 10 of the best league in the world are shit !!!
No we are not shit, but not up to your standards, as was clearly demonstrated last weekend.
Good luck against Arsenal this weekend, and enjoy your Premiership and Champions League victories.
Atys
Marple Bridge blue nose thats the point! if it’s saying “city are shit and that’s a fact” you should ignore it!
and to all united fans heres a good laugh

MiG – Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn’t. But if someone at my local said the same, I’d answer it – wouldn’t you? This is no different, just a wider set of people. As Scott the Red said – it’s banter; the article invited it by the very nature of it’s wording and delivery on a wider basis.
Scott
I am not putting United down, they have been a great squad for a long time although much of their success has been recent compared to Liverpools which has been spread relatively evenly over a century.
What I am saying is that the natrual coarse of events would normally have meant Uniteds young team of Becks etc would have faded and some other team (not particularly city) taken its place but because of the money generated by sky the prem and champions league it has allowed United to buy success. Thats the way of football. i don’ t like it but thats it.
We are now in a new stage with money coming to teams like City, Chelsea, QPR and no doubt others and it must make a difference. At the same time United are on a knife edge which could go either way. United owe a lot of money and there is no getting away from it. Its a house of cards waiting to fall, it may not but there is a good chance it will.
Atys – this isn’t an article. This is a t-shirt made from the piss taking chant we were singing on Sunday, which happened entirely spontaneously after singing “top of the league and that’s a fact”. It’s a laugh. If you don’t find it funny, then that’s fine, but move along now.
Russ – ” I am not putting United down, they have been a great squad for a long time although much of their success has been recent compared to Liverpools which has been spread relatively evenly over a century.”
Rubbish pal, we were winning in Europe way before the Scousers were regognised if it wasn’t for the tragedy and the vermin getting English clubs banned we would have more than 3 European Cups. If you then include FA Cup wins in 83 and 85 and Cup winners cup in 84 you could say United have been succesful for 40 or 50 years. The dippers successful period was what early seventies to late 80′s? Hardly spread over a century is it.
ERIC
You need to look back over the records of 100 years. Football is not just about the last 30 years or Europe.
Yes it’s true that we don’t know how we would react if we were as succesful as you but I would hope that some of us would remember the bad times in the third tier of English football and have a little humility.
What we definitely do know is that United fans have very little experience of losing and it will be interesting to see how you react when you eventually do. I know you think your reign will last forever but it won’t so laugh it up all you like. We will bide our time (we are good at that)
To the poster that says we aren’t the richest club we have the richest owners well I would rather have the richest owners with a long term plan and no debt. It is also true that United have the second highest turnover in world football but are fantastic amounts in debt due to your new owners desire to make a profit from you. While you are winning there are no complaints from the reds but what when Fergie retires? If you slip just a little you are in the doo-doo and then all eyes will be on your American owners.
For once we got lucky. We really do have the richest owners in the world with £555 billion at their disposal. No single person or company or group of investors anywhere in the world has access to that amount of money. Even if they walk away in 5 years (which I don’t think they will) we will still be on a great financial footing. The money pumped in is not a loan (like Chelsea)
You might be right that the financial situation of our two clubs makes no difference and that you will always rule supreme but don’t think it can’t happen. City can pretty much control the transfer market from the next transfer window. We can’t attract all the top players to our club but we can always make sure that everyone else pays well over the odds if they don’t do side deals with us. What do you think all these meetings with Barca, AC Milan etc have been about? You reds might not have realised it yet but you won’t be having it all your own way forever.
You might have to put the price of your t-shirts up
RE:Cobwebcat
You think the Arabs are long term? dream on. £555 billion at their disposal?. How come you’re still crap then. 33 years and counting!
Perhaps because we have only just got the money not 33 years ago?
Jesus, this blog gives proper United fans like myself a bad name. You should read up on the history of our club.
Calm Calm Calm down guys.
I am diehard utd fan…..i hate our rivals to death…but Respect for their past achievements is there.
Why get personal!!!
Everbody knows nothing lasts forever…and YES utd will tumble and have a dry patch..years withour success and fall from our perch. No utd fan should be stupid enough not to believe that wont happen.
Life is a cycle…everything does come to an end. Swings and roundabouts.
Yes City have bucketloads of money now and it is scary.
But for now you are way behind us AND scott was only having a laugh..banter..some mick take between 2 neighbours.
Some city fans have really missed the point.
PINCH OF SALT
BANTER
TONGUE IN CHEEK
HAVING A LAUGH
DONT get so precious.
My next door neighbour is a City fan, a very old pal from Uni days is a city fan, one of my closest football playing teamates is a City fan (went to school with Harry Gregg’s daughter in Shrewsbury – respect!), the best man at my weddding and former flat mate is a City fan, and I do my best to treat them all with compassion. I find it soothes their troubled minds when I remind them that Ryan Giggs so nearly joined city. ‘How close you came to glory’, I helpfully point out. I can see from the expressions on their little faces that they find this reminder of the narrow margins ‘twixt success and failure a great comfort to them. Nearly there, boys, one more big heave should do it, if that’s the right way to put it.
the sun dont shine forever…but while it does, ma manc brothers n sistas, lets get a tan.
King Eric………Rubbish pal, we were winning in Europe way before the Scousers were regognised if it wasn’t for the tragedy and the vermin getting English clubs banned we would have more than 3 European Cups.
Sorry Eric you need to learn your history, United would not have won the European cup at all had English clubs not been banned from Europe because they would not have been in it any of the five years English clubs were banned. Liverpool on the other hand would have been in the European cup 3 of the five years of the ban so they would probably have won it another time if not three.
Re the tragedy …..Did United not enter the European Cup in defiance of the FA in 1956/57? Did the FA express concerns about the difficulty of playing European games and being back in England in time for league games? ( transport then was not as good as it is now) Did United not help bring the tragedy on themselves by entering the Cup? Don’t get me wrong I have every sympathy, Frank Swift died in the crash as well but Uniteed defied the FA took chances with travel arrangements and paid a terrible price as a result. The very sad event does not allow anyone to claim they would have won a cup when they were only in the semi finals.
Dear steve the rag how was it for you last season when you got stuffed not only at Eastlands but at the swamp. your team are very good enjoy it while it lasts, try to be humble and as they say be nice while you’re up cos you’ll have plenty back when on the way down and that will happen believe me it will happen
Nice shirt
Fuck me…. fancy all these clever blue bastards getting their periods early whenever the truth about their beloved Shitty gets told…..
The Ayrab who has the purse strings will probably get rid of Hughe next year and try and by some experienced players to try and play for them …
Players like…..
Michael Owen…. who is fucked
Ronaldinho…….another over the hill twat
Imbrahbovic…. overated wanker
Santa Cruz…… fucking scraping the fucking barrel with this cunt
All who are chasing money and not success and will never be classed as world beaters
Which above average player would want to don the skyblue shitty shirt to play for a team that ain’t gotta rats arse chance of playing in Europe…..
maybe its true what they say…. Two sorts of fans in Mancland…those that have a brain and support Man Utd and those that have bee lobotomized that support the other shite
knightsmith……
you have been back on here twice, I thought you might have explained to me why United are not in terrible debt and how I had got all my figurees wrong.
Whilst you are at it could you explain why its better to have US owners 100s of millions in debt than having Arab owners with at least 15 billion quid in the bank. Why would our owners walk away and not yours?
Remember each time you put petrol in your car you are helping to fund Manchester City. Any time our owners are short of money they only have to turn on another tap at the well, what will the Glaziers do? Refinance again?
You can afford 10 Tevez and you’ve got Elano and Bellamy up front??? Something must have gone seriously wrong then.So we shouldn’t mock you because it’s not classy and we should concentrate on supporting our team instead?How about you mocking us for the Glazers (although i must agree on this one),Munich and so on?And how about that if you are the richest club in the world you only care about beating United? Two defeats in your two cup finals must have been hard to take…I know that United will eventually go maybe 10 years without a trophy,but at the same United fans know that eventually we’ll rise again,because that’s what sets the difference between a great club and a small one.
Robinho 36 million £ with Mastercard
Bellamy 12 million £ with Mastercard
Elano 10 million £ with Mastercard
Ronaldinho 15 million £ with Mastercard
Citeh winning fuck all for the 33rd year in a row it’s priceless…
Hughes only had 5 minutes at the start of the season to buy anyone and no player any good involved in Europe would come to City at Christmas. In fact unless you are in Europe its going to be hard to get the best players but City can buy the very best of the rest and plenty of them to be sure we are up their plugging for 4th spot. Once we have 4th city will have the money to buy anyone unlike Aston Villa etc. Whats with the mastercard thing? our players are bought cash, its United’s that are bought on HP.
RE: Russ
No one said the Glaziers wouldn’t walk away, same as the Arabs, same as Abramovich could, this is a chance you take when your club is privately owned.
United are a successful club, and no reason why they shouldn’t continue to be so.
If the Glaziers did walk away, do you not think united wouldn’t be able to attract buyers, after all your shower did, and they don’t know the meaning of success.
If your owners are so rich, how come citeh are so pathetically bad? they are rubbish, you know it, and so does everybody else. you stick to buying crap such as Bellamy and Co, we’ll continue to win things
Come back at about 2-45 when we are crowned champions (again)
knightsmith
I was hoping you would expalin why United are not in serious debt not have a dig at City again.
If the Glaziers walk away I am sure that United would attract buyers if the price is right just like any other club but if they would have the money required to buy and dig them out of the shit would be another thing.
The reason why United will not continue to be successful is the natrual cycle of things which has temporarily been interupted by the tens of millions of pounds that consequently came into the game from Sky, The Prem and Champions League at the same time United created a great team, the money allowed United to buy success. Had this happened when Liverpool were doing well they would be a much bigger club than United.
The money has allowed United to buy individual players that cost almost as much as some teams entire squad, the money has allowed Unted to maintain a second team as good or better than many clubs first team. Thats why United are doing so well although credit to red nose he still has to make it work and hold it all together.
As for us being so rich and so bad,you know the answers to those questions, when we have been rich for 10 years like your mob instead of 10 months you can ask that question again. Short term getting rid of Hughes would be a good start.
know this is from years ago, but funny there are so many bitters with insider business knowledge of united’s financial situation. everyone is an expert i guess
