Manchester City lost to FC Midtjylland last night. It really does make you wonder how we lost to this outfit at home and away last season. This side, who I imagine you’ve never heard of, were runners up in the Danish league last season.
“Maybe they didn’t know the names of any single player in our team,” said the coach of the opposition. “Maybe they made stupid decisions, because they lost the ball and thought it would be so easy to get it back.”
Transfer requests, booing fans, corrupt owners and an unhappy boss. And Manchester City is the haven we expected…
Their owner has arrest warrants out for him whilst the Premier League are deciding whether he’s fit and proper to be in charge of an English club, and the club are losing to European nobodies to get a place in the UEFA Cup. This isn’t the rosy World bluenoses were imagining when ol Thaksin took over.
With Thaksin’s £800 million frozen, it begs the question who will pay the wages? Or are we to imagine Hughes, Jo, Micah Richards and Benjani are there for the love of the club?
Whilst Mark Hughes has insisted that he is staying, Vedran Corluka has handed in a transfer request, in a desperate bid to get out of Wastelands and join Spurs. Still, he’s got to see his new team booed at the very beginning of the season and think what the hell was he thinking about taking on that job. Has he already forgotten the abuse City fans dish out to their own players, as much as any opposition. I’ve sat in the City seats on derby day when tickets have been hard to come by, and every time I’m left chuckling when the fans call their own players all the names under the sun.
However, even I’m surprised to learn that City fans are booing their team before the domestic season has even started! Or was this a protest against Shinawatra? If so, it’s come a year too late, against this “human rights abuser of the worst kind.”
“We need to get up to speed,” said Hughes after the Midtjylland defeat. “We certainly weren’t there this evening. We did not play at a level we expect to. I believe we have good players here but, unfortunately, we did not get the performance we needed from the vast majority of them.”
So, this is what Mark Hughes gave up his possible Manchester United future for. A bunch of booing, bitter bluenoses. I don’t know whether to laugh or feel insulted!

It is another great example of a bunch of supporters who all of a sudden seem to expect success week in, week out just because of the fact they won two cup finals last season.
Like a cheap version of Chelsea’s support, they are doing the one thing I despise. Booing of your own, it should never happen.
As a supporter of United, I know too well that our club and our supporters need to look out for each other now more than ever, despite being one of the most hated (as well of course, as the most Loved) clubs in England, if not world football.
The press and it seems most neutrals don’t like United and it gives me pleasure seeing our bitter rivals, or rivals the bitters stooping so low. Who do they really think they are? Seriously.
Love that classy woman in the video.. haha.
i still cant imagine how Sparky accepted to take the Citeh job??????
In fairness, I think City fans got the message when their mercenary Thai owner sacked Sven, who was popular with City faithful. Sven didn’t do bad for City really. The ex City owners should have been more responsible in checking out more thoroughly Thaksin and his deadly past. Thing is, I think his past only came to light AFTER City shareholders had sold there shares etc. Or am I wrong about this. I cannot believe really, that the previous owners knew then about Thaksin, what they know now.
Mark Hughes has a brain in his head. Surely he must have realised as an ex Red, that the first sign of perceived failure, City fans would turn on him. He’s an Ex Red, they don’t need much of an excuse do they?. Hughes is not a loyal ex Red though IMO, so that might give him some hope with City fans.
Boo-ing your own, I hate that, but Rio was Boo-ed and Giggsy at one point by United faithful. Fergie soon put a stop to that shite though. Fans Shouting names at their players during a match, well, I have been with the most raucous hardcore United fans, and truth be known, we have done a bit of name calling ourselves – haha!. Only a bit mind!.
Tom thats really funny!! She is a horror show!
I was wondering when we were gonna get the old citeh back… life as a united fan is sweet at the moment.
Another fancy dress party at the council house last night, as thousands turned up dressed as blue plastic seats. 17,800, what fanatical & loyal supporters they are. Ole got 69,000 for a testimonial!
I pissed my sides last night watching that shower of shit. I never tire of watching them embarrass themselves. Long may it continue. 33 Years.
The boy said – Thousands turned up at City dressed as blue plastic seat – lol mate!. Good one.
