I’m sure I wasn’t alone in being unimpressed with City’s travelling support in the weekend. Whilst they sung a song or two in the aftermath of a goal, they didn’t give out the impression it was derby day and they were really up for it. Whilst the Old Trafford atmosphere is often mocked, honest City fans there that day would have to admit they were completely outdone on Sunday.
Still, Mark Hughes, with his delusion City hat on, reckons his fans made a lot of noise. To be honest, I’d expect any team who scored three goals at Old Trafford to scream the house down, particularly that bitter lot, but they were silent for large chunks of the match.
“I don’t think we made as much noise as is being made out. A noisy neighbour? Well in terms of noise our fans made then you could possibly say that,” said Hughes. “They know after the character that we showed at Old Trafford, Manchester City are not going to go away. I think people are beginning to realise we will have a say in what will happen this season.”

Hughes is some muppet…
Hughes is turning into a sad, bitter git. Has he got dignity at all?
Yawn!!!
err right to some extent you will have a say in who finishes 4th,not in the title race for sure.They did show a lot of character although we were helping them too in coming back.
i guess he is just trying to save his own ass by doing all this!!
God bless you Jake Clarke
Hughes will be gone by Christmas.
Wtf is Hughes talking about? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR SPARKY!?
Steve Bruce & Roy Keane have come to Old Trafford and were not only welcomed back to Old Trafford but we sang songs of praise as thank you for their services & loyalty to the club. Man United fans don’t normally forget their heroes. We still sing songs for Robo & Georgie & Cantona & Sir Matt Busby. Mark Hughes was already threading on tin ice when he joined Man Shitty but we might have in time forgiven him as after all he is a Football Manager. But to go out and start a bitter war of words with the club that made you and the manager that saved your career by bringing you back home from the wilderness of a Barcellona nightmare is as low as one could go. Mark Hughes once adored & loved by the Old Trafford faithfull is erased from our memory & history. He is the one who started this war maybe all that money is going up to his head who knows but what I do know the manchild has no class what so ever.
“I think people are beginning to realise we will have a say in what will happen this season.” So what?
Surely City’s improvements are only going to help us. We’ve lost 3-1/4-1/3-1 (and 2-1 at home) in the last 6 years whilst City usually underperform against other teams at the top. The very nature of a derby means the underdog can be appalling week in week out yet raise the game for this occasion – A 6-0 defeat to Chelsea springs to mind as just one example of inept effort/quality.
So if the other teams around the top now have to face a City team that genuinely tries in every game and has better players as opposed to them just raising their game twice a season then the benefactors are United. Nothing changes for us but it does for everyone else.
Use to love Mark Hughes as a player but im afraid now im losing all respect for him, didnt so much mind him at Blackburn but now hes getting so cocky and bitter i dont think theyll be able to cope when the pressure is really on, it all seems to be going to his head quite quickly, sad really.
When he is in Blackburn he had a lot of respect but now he is control by money and lost sense of who he is. I bet he will be hated by all and when he get sack, he will regret what he had done as he had no friends left.
have a say? you cant shut up! and guess what you will win sweet fa this season! and then you will be managing a team to match your abilities as a manager —– Northwich town. ha ha
I once had Hughes down as a Utd legend!
But recently he has been coming out with utter s***!
When Jose took over at Chelsea I could put up with it as Chelsea were there or thereabouts and Jose had won major trophies with Porto, but Hughes and City?????
Recently Hughes has been coming across as a smarmy little ****(pls fill-in what you like!) and in reality he should no better, he was idolised at Old Trafford ffs!
Maybe he feels that he needs to come out with this bullish macho bo*****s
to appeal to the City supporters(and save his job!).
He should thank his lucky stars that Given was in goal otherwise god knows what the score would have been.
Either way Hughes you are now a prized tw*t!
Were there Citeh fans at the game ?
I was in the North East Quadrant and didn’t hear any !
nominee for hypocrite of the year
Hughes is becoming a Grade-A cunt.
did we used to view mark hughes wi red tinted glasses or was he always a twat? Fans of other teams used to have soft spot for the bitters – normally coz they hated us so much!- but they are fostering this us against everyone mentality and in long run it’ll hurt em. That is gonna be my last post about city until they actually do something useful coz in a way, we are doing what they want by paying em so much attention. It’s just hard to ignore the costant buzzing of an annoying little insect that won’t shut up.
Ironically their fans in the disabled section rioted as well as Alf Garnett when he pretended to be in a wheelchair to get to see West Ham at OT. They were tremendous as the camera angle showed when it went 3-3.
On another matter, I was never a Hughes fan as a player. Good – and capable of great moments at times (Rotterdam, Oldham at Wembley, Liverpool at home New Year’s Day etc…) – he was always too engaged in fighting his opponents than scoring goals. That said, I like his refusal to call “Uncle Fergie” up and ask him advice. He knows as soon as he does that he’s admitting to subserviency and it would mean Fergie has the power in the relationship. There’s far too many ex-Reds that – now that they are managers – can’t wait to bring him a bottle of claret and ask to kiss his papal ring. Good on you Hughesy, (but you can still f*ck off).
Was reading a newspaper article the other day about the apparent rift between Fergie and Hughes. It was very good. You lot might already know this, but according to the article…………… “…But there is history. Ned Kelly, once United’s head of security, remembers bumping into Hughes in a nightclub one evening in 1995, shortly after the player had left Old Trafford to join Chelsea.
“Whether it was the lateness of the hour, the strength of the alcohol, or something he had read … Sparky wanted to talk only about his former manager,” Kelly recalls. “‘Fergie never really rated me as a player,’ he complained. ‘I was only brought back from Barcelona to keep the fans happy.’”
Kelly remembers telling him “that’s bollocks”, but being unable to cheer him up. “Mark refused to listen. He was more interested in berating Fergie. It was sad that someone who had given such sterling service to the club had spent all those years believing his manager had thought so little of him.”

Sounds like the bitterness has been festering for a while.
Citeh and Hughes is starting to sound like a match made in heaven.
Mark hughes is no longer a legend in my opinion, im revoking his legend status. Ill always remember your goals, against barca, oldham and the dippers but youv’e gone to far now.
deluded bitter cunt…
Hughes never was United through and through – a Chelsea fan as a kid, fell out with Fergie for some unspecified reason and now seemingly pathologically committed to putting one over on United.
Very telling that he’s nicked the “knock them off their perch” phrase made famous by Fergie. The bitterness and antipathy towards United oozing from him now is hard to fathom.
Fuck him, you don’t get away with dissing United. He’ll get the chop soon enough anyway – just another casualty that Fergie will have seen off…
Fuck off Hughes you cunt.
They were bad. Clubs facing the inevitability of relegation have come to Old Trafford and given better accounts of themselves.
The sarcastic “Fergie, sign him up” chant struck a nerve with me, which meant they were doing something right. Other than that they weren’t up to much.
The contingent at Old Trafford was also, unsurprisingly, quite simple. Having failed to make an impression, they burst into a rendition of “you only sing when you’re winning” during the period in which United fans were roaring on the side to break them down. Unoriginality and lousy timing. A comatose state then took over each and every one of them until Rio merked himself.
Send Hughes this address as a self reflection.
Mark Hughes has unfortunately gone beyond even Roy Keane levels of fell out with Fergie bitterness. Don’t get me wrong as players I loved both of them especially Keano but they’ve said some incredible things since they became managers which shows they’re both still sore at being told by Fergie their time had come.
When Keano backed Ronaldo’s slave claims and said Clough was a better boss than Fergie I actually felt he was the ex player that had gone the farthest towards foolishness. But Hughes has in recent days surpassed even that in terms of stupidity.
City were awful and mistakes by Ben Foster and Rio Ferdinand flattered them. In the second half they were nowhere. They had one corner ALL game and that was 5 minutes from time. To say they gave a good account of themselves is ridiculous. Spurs played better against United and created more chances against us from open play than City did.
I regret the day I’ve hung a Hughes poster in my room…..
I honestly think Sparky has lost the plot. Where’s all this drivel coming from? He’s intmidated by his players and their huge wages and big egos, whilst he knows they’re gonna win fuck all this season. He’s just trying to appease the citeh fans until it all goes to shit.
When Shitty started signing all these players in the summer a few of my mates who are shitty fans started giving it the big I am and at the time I said one thing will fuck you up (as is always the case with them) and that one thing would be Hughes!! firstly coz he has done fuck all as a manager and doesnt know about dealing with big names or in shitty’s case so called big names and secondly coz he is a twat. He was a good player for us back in the day but he was still a twat even then. Now he has completly fucking lost the plot and can fuck off back to stockport with the rest of the shite!! He is and always will be a fucking cunt to me!!
he having a laugh
there fans are as quiet as fuck
the shitty fans were quite for large chunks of the game because they were in awe of the theatre of dreams.
“4-3 mate.”
You mustn’t forget the media in this. Radio, TV and newspapers now all dripping with ex-Liverpool players, and/or devotees. Add in (nearly said “on” there) the ever-present Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs element and there is the agenda.
An agenda to set Hughes up as the new potential nemesis of Ferguson. Because they NEED the great man to fail. After over a decade of trying to undermine him by the promotion of whoever’s their latest blue-eyed boy (pun intended), it is now OCD-ish.
That’s why Hughes is being displayed as this cool articulate dude, and the ludicrous nature of some of his utterances is being ignored. If referred to at all it is presented as him “giving as good as he gets”.
He’ll lose.
Fuck Hughes > Cunt
Fuck Shitty > Cunts
End of !! 4-3 mate !!
One other thing: Ferguson’s allusion to occasionally “noisy neighbours”. That, you simply “turn your TV up” to drown them out and get on with your own life.
Exquisite.
