Given: We Can’t Even Talk About Closing Gap On United

Shay Given has more sense than the deluded masses at Wastelands.

“It would be crazy to say we are on a par with United now just because City have new owners who have already spent a huge amount,” said Given. “United have got a fantastic history and a lot of trophies to show for it, so we’ve still got a lot of catching up to do. We need to win silverware. Once we have put a few trophies on the mantelpiece then we can start talking about closing the gap. We’re some way off that but we’re going in the right direction. Somebody tells me that the last time City won a trophy was when they lifted the League Cup in 1976 – the year I was born. I also think City beat United on the way to the final that year so that’s a nice little omen. But good omens aren’t going to get us through against the Premier League champions.”

    “Somebody tells me that the last time City won a trophy was when they lifted the League Cup in 1976″

    Was it the chants of “34 years – FUCK ALL” ringing in your ears out of the Stretford End when we beat you 4-3 you daft bastard?

    So he’s been at Citeh for 18 months and he has no idea about their history (or lack there of). This says everything about their club. The one man who you could have the slightest bit of respect for knows fuck all about them. Imagine how extensive Robinho and Adebeyor’s knowledge is?

    Fair play Shay. At least he isn’t as deluded at the rest of the berties. Giving it large even though they ain’t won fuck all, just spent daft amounts of money. They seem to have loads and loads of mediocre players. “They’ve got 54 players but there no fucking good”. “Oh City are a massive club”.

  10. nolan says:

    calm down you city bitter city haters we havent even started yet , we know your not botherd about us little old city , thats why you come out with vile bitterness .

  11. Fze123 says:

    Shay Given has more sense? No fucking way. He is just as deluded and bitter as the bitters. Didn’t he claim that City played so well in the 4-3 Manchester derby, and thinks Owen scored the winner in the “99th minute”. He is one of the best goal keepers around but he is such a joke.

    And what he has said is general knowledge really. They will never come close to close the gap on us unless someone like Fergie manages them, which will never happen as someone like him comes once in a lifetime. So, keep dreaming Given.

    Off topic..how do you think valancia would rate against milan as he is not the most creative winger we have,where it takes more than pace too outwit your opponent.judging buy the way inter outplayed,them today i would rather opt 4or nani or anderson on that wing for more all round and inventive play,because even a blind man can see that if milan force valancia on too his left peg we will be playing with 1 less player on the pitch

  13. Sign-up-jimmy.bullard says:

    Don’t ne1 fukin dare slag off shay , he’s a ledgend nd always will b . Irish through nd through what more cud u want . He’s a true great nd at least he’s sayin that ther not near united yet trophywise . He’s a gd man . Dissapoinysd when he went to shity but still luv the guy for way he plays for ireland . Henry cud only score against us by handballin it the wanker .

  14. alinaabbamancesterutd says:

    He shows that he is wiser and sensible than other fucking shities.fuck them all including cook and their sheik.

  15. -king-rooney- says:

    This man was the long term replacement for Edwin and that’s a fact, he was a snip for city and we missed out big time.

  16. cantona7 says:

    i would love to have him at Old Trafford

  17. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Sign up Jimmy bullard
    people have a right to slag a city player even if he’s Irish the most part of a united crowd are English at match days against Chelsea that sing viva John Terry who’s the England captain. And I’m Irish and I remember the month of non stop talk about Henry and his hand ball , did you not pick on on the fact once that Henry didn’t score against Ireland. Fuck city and there players no matter where they are from. I’m Irish my grandad fought for this county and has a plaque in the curragh in his honur. His brother was killed in the 1916 rising in a point blank exicution. But when it comes to football I’m united. I’m Irish born fowl mouth Guinness drinking jimbob but I’m not gonna turn off my united love because Rooney pulls on his country jersey and becomes an English bastard that killed my uncle and stole our country. I love Rooney I think he’s the best player in the world and would love and hope he lifts the world cup. Yeah itwould be cool if Ireland won something as well but I drink with Irish united fans who wank over Richie dunne then call him shit when he played in sky blue. For 6 months last year Ireland captain Robbie keane was shit cause he was a dipper. What sort of fans are they

  18. Rooney22United says:

    Rooney is of Irish descent btw… pretty proud of that :) )

  19. alpha_rs says:

    Should have signed Given and Owen from Newcastle!

  20. wiuru says:

    Fergie is the master of this type of phsychology . Given is Blue , file 13 for anything he thinks or says ….

  21. King Eric says:

    sign up Jimmy Bullard – Given is NOT legend pal. Ridiculous thing to say.

  22. Fred says:

    @King Eric – Almost as ridiculous as suggesting we sign Jimmy Bullard!

    Nice comments from Given, he obviously isn’t fooled by all the media hype around this tie. Did I imagine it or did the BBC commentator for the first leg boldly declare that City’s 2-1 win sealed “a shift in the balance of power in Manchester?” YCNMIU.

  23. irishred#1 says:

    fuck you king eric , i hate city as much as you but for you to say given is not a legend , you clearly know fuck all about footy , shay has over 100 caps for ireland , he singl handedly kept newcastle in the prem 4 years , and if you watch him week in week out u wud no he is the most consistent goaly in the world

  24. Sign-up-jimmy.bullard says:

    King eric -fuck u u wanker . Given is a living ledgend . Enuf said. Nd to “gotta hate tiny tears ” – ur a fukin tosser , did i even mention netin bout notlikin English players ? No i didn’t u bellend . Of course I luv Rooney who doesn’t ? …. So ye given is a ledgend is basically my point. Nd toirish red #1 – gd man u no what ur talkin bout

  25. King Eric says:

    Irish Red and the other cunt – Yeah fuck you two as well you fucking mugs. By you’re reckoning all Irish are fucking legends! Laughable. Very protective over your fellow countrymen. I am English therefore Terry and Lampard just have to be legends as they have huge amounts of caps for their country and have won the league. Grow up you babies. Given talks shite. Reckons City were the better team back in September.

    As for you “signupjimmybullard” any credibility you may have had has gone due to the fact you seriously think Bullard is good enough for United. Pair of fucking clowns.

  26. King Eric says:

    OOH hundred caps for Ireland and kept the Geordies up. Yeah proper Legend. You know fuck all about the game lads.

  27. King Eric says:

    Going by the spelling and grammar it is quite clear that “Irishred” and “jimmybullard” are in fact the same person. Even going under different names to try and show that you have support in this matter. Prick.

  28. King Eric says:

    Hang on a minute you cunt. Telling me to get fucked. If you look at my first post on here you will find that I was one of hardly any NOT slagging Shay off and actually gave him praise.
