Sir Alex Ferguson has been asked today about what threat he feels Manchester City will pose to us next season.
There’s been some bizarre behaviour down the road. City fans mobbed Carlos Tevez, the man who that day claimed he loved United fans. They paid £25m for the hard-worker who scored five league goals last season. Whilst I’m embarrassed we chanted tirelessly to have him signed up, following his appallingly classless behaviour, and it seems as there is no shame where City fans are concerned, all adoring a player who says he will always have United in his heart.
Then the club spend thousands of pounds on an advertising campaign which showed pictures of Tevez running towards United fans, arms out-stretched and delirious expression on his face, with the sole intention of winding up United fans. Eesh, cringe. Had this been a graffiti act of a witty bluenose, then maybe you could see the funny side of it. As it is, to think the actual club sanctioned such a pathetic campaign reeks of their small-time and desperate nature. Bet that sad little bastard Garry Cook was pissing himself.
Then they paid £25m for that lanky bastard Emanuel Adebayor. Again, City fans mobbed this AC Milan wannabe and acted obliviously to the fact the only reason why these players they’re worshipping would sign for their beloved club is the ridiculous pay cheque. But then all these new players will have “United” on the front of their jerseys next season anyway, so clearly embarrassment is no more an issue for City now than it has been over any of the past 33 years!
“Manchester City are getting all the back page stories and they will hold that position for the rest of the season because there is a lot of interest in what they have done and a lot of speculation about whether it is going to work,” said Ferguson. “But I cannot look at Manchester City as our main competitors. Liverpool and Chelsea are our main competitors. There is no doubt about that. It won’t be easy for them to win anything, even with all the players they have bought. They have bought a lot of high profile players but they have 10 strikers. That is a hell of a lot. I have not spoken to all the managers but the one or two I have are saying ‘Who are they going to leave out’? How do you tell players they are not even going to be travelling to London? How does he pick a team? We are all interested.”
Whilst Manchester City are hoping to improve on their 10th place finish last season, United will be hoping to win an unprecedented fourth league title in a row.
“We have won the title for the last three years and in the history of the English game no-one has ever won four,” he continued. “That tells you what a competitive league it is. Lyon won their league seven times in a row. Dynamo Kiev won nine, as have Celtic and Rangers. Dinamo Berlin 11 in the old East Germany. You will never get that in the English game. I am in charge of a football club that has the right philosophy. I have had fantastic moments here. I have 76,000 watching my team in every home game. I shouldn’t really concern myself about another team in the same city, no matter what they do.”
Man Utd News 24/7
haha Well in fergie lad basically telling citeh there shit hahah
Fergie, your babies, I want them…
Vass,we all do love O_O
Tick tock tick tock ………………
Fergie Fergie sign him up
76,000 cockneys can’t be wrong…..
Classic Sir Alex.
tell it how it is. Liverpool and Chelsea are our rivals, City will be Lucky to make it into the European places.
Man city are not competitors, chelsea and liverpool are. well said saf.
So that’s why they lost 2 – 0 to Orlando Pirates. They played with 10 strikers eh? Think they can get 1 goal from each player?
Best of luck to Manchester City. You need that luck to get a top 10 finish.
whats this ‘tick tock’ shit i keep seeing from city fans?
tick tock fuck off, you massive club supporting wankers.
fergie isnt that daft. he will jack it in as soon as city start lording it over utd. guaranteed.
@mancitypj
CITEH ARE SHIT AND THATS A FACT!
anton, when will that be sparky and his bunch of merceranies will win and do fuck all……..
“I shouldn’t really concern myself about another team in the same city, no matter what they do.” – another great quote from Sir Alex the master of words. They should publish some sort of dictionary or phrase book with all of His sayings, like “squeeky-bum time”, “football, bloody hell”, “knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch” and many, many more…
lol wont be this year, wont be any fuckin year u muppett
Man City coach 2 b the 1st 2 get the chop ths seasone
Fergie is a master at them figurative speeches. Going down with Tevez on the bench… Tevez on the bench… Tevez on the bench…
I’d put a tenna on Hughes to be sacked first.
I don’t know what all this Tick Tock stuff is about from City fans.
Maybe they are making the noise for the clock on the Stretford End. You know, the clock that says 33 years. By the way City fans that’s how long it’s been since you won diddly.
Then it’ll be 34, 35, 36. Your Arabs leave and you’ll be fucked. That will be a good day.
a question to any city fan, wots the 3 gold stars above your badge all about? have i missed out on your massive club winning 3 european cups hahahaha
It’s like the good old days again…
(They’ve got) 67 players that are no fucking good,
67 players that are no fucking good,
67 players that are no fucking good,
Cos City are a massive club!
Watchin real now on sky does anyone else think real Madrids style is to slow for ronnie??
yet another post where your having a go at tevez scott!! what a refreshing change. to actually start panning city already is a bit premature, i didn’t think saf would lower himself but maybe he is getting overwhelmed by his blue neighbours spending power. city are a club desperate for defenders and have about a month to throw wads of cash at someone who loves a challenge, who knows maybe jt, deffinately lesscot, possibility of vidic according to some areas of the web (fuck me you’d have kittens scott if that happened) untill the campaign kicks off i’m reserving judgment on city and what they might achieve, they are making a bid to finish in the top 6 and not the top 4 so i think people are getting carried away when giving their oppinions about city but hey that’s what a forums for. saf gose on to say “that he has 76000 coming to watch his team and shouldn’t concern himself about another team from the same city no matter what they do” which brings a wry smile to my face, get ready to piss yourself when i say this- but if city won the league within the next few years! it could create problems for fergie and his board. why? because city are raising the bar on wages to a point that could shape the game for years to come. city are prepared to pay jt £280000 aweek and not even ambramovich will match that, it will not be long untill city get their way in the transfere market and get the defence they need to compete with utd but the problem will be everybody will have to raise the wages of their players in order to keep em, which could have a damaging affect to all clubs ie: higher ticket prices, prawn sarnies!, programmes ect. i don’t want to start on about the debt the yanks have put utd in but there’s a big picture that is being painted and it contains alot of blue in it, which in years to come could give fergie cause for concern.
ps adebayor played 38 games in all comps and scored 16 goals with 8 assists.
just to let you’s know off topic from the man united fan who lives 5 mins from where ronaldo is playing ill keep people updated
rabbit wouldnt share his honey with winnie the pooh
but when pooh got sad rabbit learned that sharing with your friends make your friends happy
I just don’t understand why City have allowed their 1st team squad to contain 10 strikers. Team morale will be very low, especially with the type of players they have.
@boam6:It seems far too slow and they don’t appear to play with any width. This may however be due to their formation and line up.
well u rite citeh fucker, 760000000 ppl cant be wrong but one can prove them wrong its our god – SIR ALEX FERGUSON…….and i do regret the fact that i questioned his authority by yell to sign that fuckin cunt,but SAF had another plan to show us u r level by allowing cuntlitos to play against u and to fuckin score a GOAL(as a matter of fact he fuckin slapped 20% of his total goal tally against you……you jackasses)!!!!!!and forgettin he was a united player,forgettin that he scored against u ….u assholes still wanted to sign him??????????????????????????wtf…………LMAO !!!!!!!!:D
Cat-alan if city continue with these ridiculous contracts I think wage caps will have to come in but I don’t believe any of the top four teams would ever pay them sort of wages
I kiss football I suppose with robben on the other wing it would provide more width but I just think the tempo of the premier league suits ronaldo’s style as it leaves gaps for him to run into I think he may get a bit frustrated in Spain
Cat Alan – Ferguson was asked did he think City were a threat. What did you want him to say? No comment? What answer do you suggest he should give if not to “lower himself”? Should he have lied and say he thought City are going to be title contenders next season?
He gave his honest opinion and it is an opinion I imagine most reasonable City fans share. No sensible City fan would disagree with what Ferguson is saying here.
It will bring a smile to Ferguson’s face if City pay that crocked rent boy £280k a week. I sincerely hope City sign JT. Mr Chelsea wearing City’s shirt with “United” across the front would be fucking hilarious.
Love all the rag muppets on here calling “Citeh”! Oh the irony, your actually taking the piss out of the Mancunian accent now.
You’ll be calling us “Northern Monkey’s” next!
You couldn’t make this shit up. Tick Tock.
P.S Adebayor scored 6 of his goals in EUROPE.
You clearly need to get a grip if your a city fan on a man united forum fuckin hell you got nothin better to do just cause you haven’t got a fan base further than ancoats silly twats u went on tour to south Africa to try to make city a world wide brand n u get fuckin beat your teams a disgrace just like your transfer policys! Get on your own forums you twats
boam6, you’ve probably guessed that i aint a utd fan but i am a fan of football right across the board. i don’t know about the wage cap but its a trend that has gone on for years. the clubs have always had sat tv money to fund such wage systems that allow players to basically shaft their clubs. if sky reduced these payments then it would reap havock right through footy. i’m not looking to poke a wasps nest here but city are privately owned by people who have more money than fuck knows what, thats why i think city will become a player in the premiere league.
So, Fergie isn’t concerning himself with another club in the same city eh? So why is he commenting on how we’ll do next season?
Ferguson would never concern himself with City in the past – but he is now!
As Saford Blue says….tick tock, tick tock….
‘I shouldn’t really concern myself about another team in the same city, no matter what they do.” – another great quote from Sir Alex the master of words’
Come again? He does not even realise after all these years that United don’t have a home in a city, the nearest one is Salford, far from being a great quote this fella is totally thick!
I would not normally come near this site, did not know of or care about its existence, but because you rags cannot stop talking about our team instead of your own, you appear now on all the Man City newsfeeds, this never used to happen!
Could something be changing such as the balance of power? It seems that you are all very very scared and are very very jealous. We feel like the little kid in the playground who has been bullied for years, shown no respect by arrogant bigger kids. We have suddenly started to grow, you are at the stage where you notice this happening and are getting edgy. I look forward to the day very soon when we dish out similar treatment, it is pay back time!!!!!!!!
The Laughing Blue (from Manchester … of course!!!!!)
tick tock? its the ticking timebomb that is city! all bluenoses are jealous because we hate the scousers more than we hate them, its all down to them being shit, they always have been and always will be! Tick tock? dont make me laugh.
rc7, ps adebayor- i did say ALL COMPS. twit.
yeah get on your own forums u twats and let us sit and be depressed at how great city will be this season playing their 1-1-8 formation, sparky’s a red
@cat-alan
United will be forced to negotiate their own TV rights thanks to you jokers distorting the market which will mean a lot of clubs won’t survive so if you are a fan of football you shouldn’t be crowing about your new found wealth.
@boam6 – Just seen five minutes of cr9 in a Madrid shirt. Gutted. What Fergie said today about Ronnie sums it up. Massive, massive loss. The line about Ronnie maybe one day rejoining was interesting. Does Fergie believe that? Has Ronnie honestly told Fergie that, and if so how do the fans feel about CR9 becoming CR7 again at OT? I’d take him back if he returns the player he was. Not for 80 mill mind you.
It’s funny how City fans have decided that the top 4 will struggle just cos of the spending. Macheda cost nowt compared to tevez. Anyone fancy a bet as to who’ll score the most? Kiko!!! Kiko!!!
Why is Ferguson talking about City? Er, because a reporter asked him a question about City possibly…? Fuck me, it’s not rocket science is it.
Cityfan@ – you never heard of Newton Heath? If you are a City fan then by nature you are totally obsessed with Manchester United, so why on earth don’t you know where we were founded?
You’ve got us though, we’re jealous. I wish United had just spent £75m on three players with a total of 19 league goals from last season. And I wish the only way we could get players to sign for us was offering them double the wages of any other club. Ooh, I’m just green with envy. Oh, to be a massive club like you. Oh, to win nothing for 33 years. Oh, to not be Champions. I hate hate hate being a United fan, I’m jealous, I wish I’d been born a blue, you lucky bastards you.
boamy baby, City fans have got a grip. We’ve got a grip on the cash in our wallets (our owners reduced season ticket and match day ticket prices this year due to the economic climate and we don’t have to buy cup tickets to every game, even if we can’t make it. Not like your lot wringing every last penny out of your fans). We’ve got a grip on the transfer market, unlike your lot, backing out because you can’t keep up! And don’t say “their not worth that amount of money”. If someone is willing to pay it, then your worth it. And its not like our owners are going to worry about missing the odd £100 million.
It’s only a matter of time!
come on u city fuck wits answer my question, wots the 3 stars above ur badge all about?
i think this year berba rooney and owen could net 60 between em, with kiko maybe hitting 7/8 but its first team experience that’ll turn him into a megastar in a few yrs
@cat-alan
All competitions that you are not in.
Salford blue you might have a grip of all the money but your still not attracting the best kaka laughed in your face! Funny thing is a lot of my mates are city fans but they don’t seem as deluded as the city fans on here your team has got to gel together you can’t just buy trophies And the funny thing is with all this money Wheres your own stadium your rentin off the council like most your fans!
craigni, why so angry baby? The three stars above the badge don’t stand for anything, niether does the eagle.
A bit like the Manchester coat of arms on uniteds club blazer and the shield on thier badge. They don’t mean fuck all because united arn’t in Manchester no matter what they call themselves!
If Oldham Athletic started calling themselves Manchester Athletic it doesn’t mean they play in Manchester. Greater Manchester yes. But not Manchester!
Salford Blue – Manchester United were founded in Newton Heath, Manchester, moron.
Anyway, why don’t you support your local team?
why r we talking abt city?bcoz there is a fucking argie cunt in ur side who cant stop talking abt united .seems he is aldready regretting his move to wastelands. tick tock.only a matter of time bfre city go down wid million in the bank.
rc7, oh got your glasses on now son!
its not just city who have distorted the market pal. if clubs are willing to pay these amounts then the rest have to follow or they get left behind, look outside the top 4!
craigni, them 3 stars above citys badge represent the 3 wise men, they to were arabs who loved man city!!
at last a reply, well salford blue u have put my mind at ease now, i thought that maybe in another life time ur massive club have actually acheived something obv i was wrong………
boamy, were having to pay a premium in order to take players from the sky four and other major European players. But as soon as we get a champions league slot (think it could take two, definetly in three seasons) the money we can offer together with Champion League football will mean we can rival anyone when it comes to attracting world class players.
Your right that a team has to gel, but only have to look at the money chelsea, united and liverpool have spent to see that a key aspect in challenging for honours is spending money on world class players (and don’t forget when blackburn won the league).
The council house as you call it (if your from Manchester thanks for the tax you paid to build it, its pretty smart) will be bought out by our owners soon. The whole area is being redeveloped, plans are currently being drawn up. If you have not noticed already money is no object for our owners and they have big ambitions.
the fact is that citieh will be a lot more competitive than last season. the problem they’ll have is with all the egos in the changing room. mark hughes will have his hands full about who to leave out and who to play. it would not surprise me if they did break into the top 4. but as SAF said, it’s cheslki and the dippers that are our main title threat.
City moral wont be affected if players don’t play. They’re all collecting £150,000/£170,000 a week – they joined for monies, not to play football.
City to finish 9th. No trophies.
oh yeah.. the other fact is that citieh are not in our league when it comes to
dominating english football and making a name for ourselves in europe.i say ” bring it on” because it’ll be much more fun beating you, the dippers, cheslki and arsenal this time round than before. no matter how much money citieh have, they’ll NEVER match United’s illustrious history and pedigree in world football.
Scott, yes you did play in Newton Heath but you don’t anymore.
When the L.A. Raiders moved back to Oakland they had the decency to call themselves the Oakland Raiders. They didn’t cling to the pretige of the City they left by keeping its name. Shame united didn’t have the same class as the Raiders owners.
Your right my local team is united. You’ve obviously aware of what united fans are like so I would have thought that would make it obvious why I don’t support them. A man is judged by the company he keeps!
Salford blue to be honest Mate ( I am from Manchester ) so I’m happy for what’s happenin at city cone on 33 years of shit you’ve gotta get some look from somewhere apart from winning the youth cup and gettin into Europe threw the fair play award ( don’t no how u did that with Barton in the squad ) but you’ve gotta get to top 6 and look what united did when Chelsea come callin with there millions we came back and won 3 on the trot! Any obstacles that come upon united we over come them in style so bring on city
kvn, again with the “citeh” oh the irony.
Your right united have won more trophies and championships than us but we still have a history and players coming into City and united can’t where historical medals from previous campaigns.
Its now about a clubs future potential to win medals and John Terry is showing that players are starting to notice City and think hard about them (even if he decides not to join us).
boamy, fair enough. I look forward to a more equal battle in the coming derbys. Should make it very interesting if the points we take of each other have some real meaning.
salford blue lets be honest, the only reason terry is thinking of joining city is all down to his weekly wage packet its as simple as that……
Salford blue – Christ, you’re saying football should work the same as American football? They chop and change cities all the fucking time dependant on the highest bidder. Newton Heath FC were bought by the director of Manchester Breweries and the name changed to Manchester United. Why on earth shouldn’t they be called Manchester United? Moron.
JT said he loves Chelsea, that he would play for them forever, that he wanted to manage them when he retired. You think it’s City’s ‘project’ that’s making him give up on that or the doubled wages? You’re so deluded pal. I can’t believe that anyone living in Salford hasn’t been put straight on this by now.
On the talk of strikers….I just watched the Real match, o dear is all I can say!
@ Salford Blue, there’s one thing you can never change though, city with always ryhme with shitty.
The last paragraph is just a fantastic statement.. All those fans complaining about SAF should read that over and over again…
Scott, yes they do chop and change cities, but at least they take the name of where their based.
Manchester Docks was in Salford, but they called it Manchester Docks because Manchester had a bigger profile than Salford. Wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes but they didn’t still call themselves Wimbledon.
The owner can call it what he wants, but the only reason he called it manchester united is because of the prestige the city of Manchester gave the name. Calling it trafford united or stretford united would have been more accurate. This was long before Greater Manchester so he can’t even claim it the county! If the owner had any class he wouldn’t have named them after a city they were outside of.
I guess social climbing has gone on for a long time. “My clubs called manchester united”, I can hear him saying to the members in his club! Bit more of a ring to it than stretford united. Just don’t wear the coat of arms of a city your not in! Gobshite!
rj – Isn’t it past your bedtime?
Salford Blue – Manchester United were given their name whilst they will still based in Manchester, not Salford. So the owner didn’t name them after a city they were outside of, you moron. Manchester United moved to Old Trafford years after they were given their new name and saw no reason to rename the club just because the location of the stadium changed. The owner, the fans and the players were all the same, so why should the name be different?
Why are you insisting on making it so easy for me to make you look like an ignorant prick?
Haha Shitty City fans are having a right laugh. They’re so scared that the Arap “project” will fail they’re actually telling us we’re the ones who are afraid.
Vida will brek Tevez’s stubby legs at the derby and Hughes will be kissing Fergie’s bare ass. Football season can’t fucking get here soon enough.
@ RJ re: Real Madrid “o dear is all I can say!” Good or bad?
I’m from Manchester and my mum’s family support CITEH but i still hate CITEH….I hate them !!!!
CITEH’S GOING DOWN WITH A BILLION IN THE BANK
BERTIE BLUE NOESES
so piss off back to the CITEH blog……if there even is one….
Real Madrid won 1-0, Benzema scoring 3 mins from time and Ronaldo doing nothing… well, apart from blasting freekicks wide and high.
i’ve got a mancunian accent Salford blue and I HATE CITEH
@cat-alan
I don’t see any other clubs in the PL offerring £300k a week to a half crocked centre back who is nearly 29 nor £170k to bribe a centre forward to play for your club, a player who nobody else wanted. You can crow all you like about your potential but you haven’t won anything yet.
Madrid were poor. Didn’t deserve anything.
@TheTipIsRed
It just looked kind of sloppy to me? They just all seemed to be out for themselves kind of, that might just be personal opinion though.
@Salford Blue
With a cliche comment like that, isn’t it past your bedtime?
the classless advert welcoming tevez to manchester has been defaced apparently.
I’ll take a photo tomorrow and post it if its still there and the pr team at city havent raced to replace it
Sir Alex simply thinks Tevez ain’t worth it :-
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/20/sir-alex-ferguson-carlos-tevez
Great to see Owen score AGAIN, but even better to see Wesley Brown back playing. I have missed his tough tackling. Ando really needs to start burying those chances. Very positive though just looking forward to seeing Valencia tearing down the flanks.
Thanks for the update guys, I don’t have access to watch such games because I’m out in California. What’s Manchester City? Are they like a football club too?
Before Salford Blue starts bleeding or something drastic, I’m only kidding.
What could be in store for City if Madrid’s collection of ‘proper galacticos’ look sloppy and out for themselves?
Scott – Who mentioned united being based in Salford you gobshite!?! The point I made was that they moved out of the city of Manchester but still kept the name. Manchester is a more pretigious name than Stretford. You can bet if he moved them from stretford to Manchester he would have changed the name.
If Wimbledon can do it so could united. Not as much prestige though.
The only one making themselves look a prick is you with your bunny boiler attitude towards Tevez and constant need to to tell people how “not bothered” you are about Tevez and City. You remind me of a sad, insecure prick who’s just been dumped but feels the need to tell everyone how “I’m so much better of without that bitch” but if she’d stayed with you she’d still be his Princess. Your so fucking see through, move on its not healthy for you. He’s gone, get over it you sad twat!
no they’re not a club, they’re an unpleasant collective of blue-nosed creatures that rarely get out much, and like to harass and harangue supporters of the world’s greatest team MANCHESTER UNITED.
@seanM11
Garry Cook’s on his way now to personally replace it, the bitter cunt.
@Salford Blue
Coming from a City fan posting on United blog? Also, if you have nothing to prove then why are you kicking up a fuss?
Well done.
blue-nosed TROLL.
Salford Blue – Ooooooh, temper temper. Don’t get your knickers in a twist.
“If the owner had any class he wouldn’t have named them after a city they were outside of.” – he didn’t name them after a city they were outside of. He gave them the name Manchester United because they were in Manchester.
Manchester United’s stadium moved 5 miles down the road. The club was the same club, so why should they change their name? Wimbledon moved 50 miles to Milton Keynes – why do you think the situations are comparable? Your stadium moved 5 miles between that pile of rubble that was Maine Road to the Wastelands you don’t even own. Funny that.
As for Tevez, he loves United fans. I think it’s kindof sweet that you’re so happy to have him, or do I mean desperate? Who gives a fuck if United will always be in his heart, as long as he does the business for you eh? I guess that’s the small club mentality we should be accustomed to where ickle City are concerned.
From Salford, spending all night on a United blog… are you trying to tell us something?
@rc7 haha, yeah, and on the arabs private jet
Salford blue – come back after the derby and get more humiliated . i know you wont , but here’s an invitation nevertheless
Salford Blue – “our owners reduced season ticket and match day ticket prices this year due to the economic climate”
“reduced” them? You were practically giving the fuckers away on Talksport and local radio! You do make me laugh you City fans.
For the first time in your “history” the media and other teams fans are giving your club some attention and you don’t seem to like it one bit. Just wait till Xmas when you are mid table mediocrity (again) then the papers, tv, media will be all over you like a rash! See how you like it then! Muppets.
By the way Benzema looked quite good, Impressed with him.. Ronnie will be a success at Real am sure, he’s too good not to be.. but defensively they don’t look to good
by the way, it infuriates me that the blue cunts now share my postcode.
Tony Starks – Yeah he did actually mate.
salford blue: wot teh fuck are u even arguing about? so fucking what if united play 2 minutes away from manchester? we are united always have been united (since newton heath anyway) and always will be united. Grimsby Town play in Cleethorpes why don’t u get yourself on their blog and start arguing with some people you’ll be competing against in a few seasons u fucking stupid cunt. Tevez would still be in our hearts had he not turned into a twat after he left!!
Scott – I think its kinda cute you’ve got statues of two City players outside your ground.
The future for Manchester City has already been defined. The players they have got this time round are it…they are the best they will ever have the chance of getting, and they have fallen short. City have already failed. Kaka said no last season and put all the nails in middle eastland’s coffin in one go. Kaka was offered an unbelievable amount of money to join City. He was considered, along with Cristiano, the best player in the world. If he had said yes then City would have been confirmed as the ‘new Chelski’. But that dream went up in flames…gone, buried, dried and dusted. What they are left with now is a mottly collection of second raters and cast-offs. A team that is sure to have a couple of exciting moments in the Carling Cup – and may even be in with a shout for that Trophy, but that would actually be so satisfying, so fitting that City finally end their 33 year wait with a Carling Cup win…and absolutely no chance of ever winning anything else.
No one of any true class or ambition is ever going to join City now. The moment passed with Kaka and now they are paying ridiculous money for players who have all put their best seasons behind them. Tevez has had one good season in English football, and it wasn’t last season. Adebayor has been on a downward slope the last two seasons. Barry had his best seasons three or four years ago and has struggled to make progress at club and international level. If they get Tiny Tears, then the joke will be complete because he has not been the same since he was humiliated at the 2006 World Cup.
Just a few extra words about Tevez, because a lot has been said about him but an awful lot has been left unsaid. Let us be clear about Tevez. His first season in England, with West Ham, was an absolute nightmare. He could not hold down a place in the Weat Ham side – a team fighting for it’s life against relegation. The team lost more games when he was playing than when he wasn’t. Tevez was labled West Ham’s saviour by the media because of his goal on the last day of the season. The West Ham fans love him because of that goal, he became a sort of cult hero – just like Forlan did for us when he scored two at Dipperfield.
The reality was that he was the biggest flop West Ham have expereinced in recent years. Fergie took him on though as a young player with potential, a player we took on loan with the option to buy if he developed into the player SAF hoped he might become. That did not happen though did it? As Tevez has stated, he wasn’t trusted to play the big games last season and Tevez has stated on several occasions that SAF forced him out, threw him out…whatever.
The point is that he was not good enough to be the first one on the team sheet and was probably viewed in the same light as Fletcher, Anderson and Park. Great players to have in the squad…but not for £25 million. Everything Tevez has achieved in England is down to SAF and Manchester United. He played with great players who helped his game. SAF gave him his chance and was prepared to do that also at the beginning of last season. But Tevez showed what we all probably knew. In the absence of Ronaldo and/or Rooney, Tevez could not make his mark on a game. He put in three or four poor performances and paid the price. He only really had one outstanding game last year and that was against Blackburn in the Carling. A true City player if ever there was one and good luck to him.
Yes, I’m really happy those players came to Manchester via City and gave their lives and Hearts to United. They are Legends of huge magnitude…for what they did at Manchester United and they are loved by all.
Give my love to Sparky by the way!
And by the way Salford Blue…I do hope that Tevez manages to save you lot from relegation this season. It is not the same without a game against City, and we have had many years without haven’t we! Don’t worry, Tevez has a history of relegation battles so his experience will come in handy
Abu Dhabi Sports channel bought the rights for the Premier league in the middle east for 2010-2013! I can just smell the bias thats going to happen over here!
red c – Bet you weren’t saying the seasons not the same without City after the munich anniversary game. Not in the script that was it.
Yes we missed the derby when we were relegated. Just as I’m sure you missed it when one of those blokes who has a statue outside your ground backheeled you into division two. Once a blue always a blue. He was a blue first and came back to us. True love. He’s always at our ground when old players are paraded. Gets a great reception.
Yet again, you cannot leave the Tevez thing alone, can you fella.
Bored of making up your bullshit stats that mean fuckall (oh… sorry – that mean: he cant play more games for them than he did for us… it’s impossible, no really… it’s impossible, honest… read my stats… no it is … look!) Even your red readers are politely saying, maybe you’ve said all there is to say on the matter. Are you struggling for material?.. Well here’s some for ya:
The money: yes yes all of our buys have been shit, although they were wanted buy Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter, Madrid, YOURSELVES respectively …hmmmm.
Even if you still want to kid yourself, that there’s no plan, and we just wanna buy EVERYONE!!!!!… i still think, the reason you feel the need to keep pointing this out is because you’re struggling to buy any fucker.
Citeh: This is a reference to our accent, used by other clubs that are, shall we say, not from round here, ya know, southern clubs and such. So when some of you use this term, are you suggesting that our suspicions of where 30,000 of your gate come from every other week are actually correct?
History: It would take a very dishonest person/complete fucking liar, to say that what Old Bacon Face/Taggart/or to give him his due SAF has done is nothing short of amazing. You have, as you also point out quite a lot (and understandably) won shit loads. And to say we could match that in the next 20 odd years may be far fetched. But my blue specticled view is that if you look back to when we last won something, which i’m sure you all very well know was 76… at that point, we had won more domestic cup competitions, than your boys… and Chelsea, Liverpool, etc. And had the same European cup count as you, of one.
Next ten years,2 FA cups down the line, you get Taggart – a few teething problems out the way, and you have the history for which your bandwaggon fans latch on to… So with pots full of cash, and a young and talented manager the far fetched looks a little nearer.
And whilst we’re on history – this ones for you fella… you WERE formed by a scouser in Newton Heath, OLDHAM! Now you can twist this shit anyway you want, but Newton Heath (when you were formed) was in the county of Lancashire, not Greater Manchester. And even now, you don’t occupy Manchester, you’re now in our county, but then so are OLDHAM, Rochdale, Bury etc. So when we tell you that your NOT the true team of Manchester, we are talking FACT.
Thankyou for you time, you have been schooled by BlueBoy. I do take subject requests, so feel free to leave them. And this lesson has been free of charge. So any money you were going to pay, keep hold of it… Or donate it to your club. Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Salford Blue, you are far too full of your own self importance. If you think any one lost too much sleep over loosing a game to City then you are again deluding yourself. I had even forgot that one because in the over all scheme of things it didn’t matter. As was mentioned by both sides that day, the emmotion of it all seemed to affect the Manchester (United) players – and I am sure we all can understand that.
No Salford Blue, I will always applaud and pay reverence to two United greats in Busby and Law. They are associated for ever with our great club because of what they achieved here and what they gave. They simply lived for United. Denis has openly stated his allegiance for United and we all know what Sir Matt did, and what his family continue to support.
I think most United fans who were at the game in which Denis scored for City can remember the grief it caused him and the way he reacted – and still does. Any attempt by you to paint any other picture of that moment is out of order and a slur on this great United player’s integrity. He walked directly off the pitch that day with his head down. He was absolutely devastated. I felt so relieved for him when we all found out that it didn’t matter anyway, but what a great man and what a love he has for our great club. Not like his brief spell at City where he wanted away from the day he got there and left after a season wasn’t it? Funny how some people can try and make things seem what they are not, eh Salford? You have a lot of practice though I can see.
We had the grace to see Denis to rejoin City with our blessing. He was at the end of his career and was given a free transfer by his mate, The Doc. Tony Book kicked him out of City though and he retired the next season. Tony Book never liked Reds though. I heard that guy verbaly attacking a young kid because he found out the poor toddler was a United fan…what an absolute plonker! Again, typical though Salford.
I am in charge of a football club that has the right philosophy. I have had fantastic moments here. I have 76,000 watching my team in every home game. I shouldn’t really concern myself about another team in the same city, no matter what they do.”
Now that says a lot about the great man
salford BLUE?!!? what the fuck u faggot head piss fucker!! u should be discusted! from salford? and blue? fuck me cunt!! fuck off!! my grandad who worked on the SALFORD DOCKS and drank down the WAVERLEY would be rolling in his grave u twat!! eat dick and fuck off to ur own blog, and take ur homo mates george cane and blueboy with u!! fukn knob jockies! city will not even be close to top 4. NOW FUCK OFF!!
Remember that night in Barcalona, when United completed the famous treble and were being talked about as the best team ever.
well the following sunday i walked into my local pub and the city fans were going wild. They just won the 2nd division play off final against Gillingham. Thats the diference between United and city.
please somebody tell me what is that “Tick Tock” all about? I cant think of anything else but the 33 years they won fuck all.
City’s team will not make it.
OTOH, it’s interesting that Sir Alex didn’t even mention Arsenal as competitors.
With a team with rich boss, rich player, love money player…..
The team will never make wonder, they will probably make rubbish!
“It seems that you are all very very scared and are very very jealous. We feel like the little kid in the playground who has been bullied for years, shown no respect by arrogant bigger kids. We have suddenly started to grow, you are at the stage where you notice this happening and are getting edgy.”
Err.. like, wtf?? we should be jealous you say? of what? Man shitty? why? coz they got tevez? Oh the horror! what would united have done without with those 5 precious goals last season?! idk, i think they would have WON!
SO YEA, BE AFRAID COZ THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY FINISH 9TH THIS YEAR…
Have the arabs bought the stadium yet coz i helped pay for that and i want my cut. But seriously id like to wish our blue cousins all the best. Its been 33 years (fuck all). Its been 10 years since that wembley play off glory against Gillingham. Surely it cant be much longer. Maybe the Carling cup. Can you imagine the homecoming. The open top bus through the streets of Manchester. What a party. Glory days ahead for city.
Thoroughly entertaining. Came into the office early and spent my spare time reading that instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing. Well worth it – football, history and vitreol in perfect proportion. They actually think they have got one over on us. Can’t wait to see them bomb this season.
RE: BlueBoy
Citeh are shite; 33 years and counting tick fucking tock!
I feel sorry for the blue fans with all their insecurity and issues. Manchester Pity would be a better name for their club.
I’d suggest we be nice to them because they’ve never really had anything, but they are now so delusional with a stranger’s charity they think they can compare and convincingly gloat about it, that they’ve become more loathsome and undeserving of any empathy.
Be comfortable where you are. Stop bobbing your heads. You can’t handle the heat. In our shadows you have been and in our shadows you will be.
Fur coat an no knickers thats the best way to describe Citeh.
I have just read this whole thread and this is quite alarming.
We all know the facts, who is the best team in the country and who will win the league again.
One thing concerns me more than anything – City fans on our site.
Jealousy? Surely not – I wouldn’t be caught dead on one of their forums.
Speaks volumes in my opinion!
FERGIE super shi very very superstar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For Salford Blue!!! Hey twatty, just for your information, if you can understand what I am saying, SALFORD was a City a hell of a long time before Manchester existed.
Manchester United originated in Newton Heath and were known as “Newton Heath Loco”(motive) due to their affiliation with the Railways. Wasn’t Newton Heath ALWAYS in Manchester? Fuckwit!
For your further information, if your brain can absorb information, much less retain it, Old Trafford was built in Trafford Park MANCHESTER, the border being the Manchester Ship Canal.
Why do we true admirers of the beautiful game have to put up with fatherless idiots from the sky blue side of Manchester?
