OTRed - Since when have you cared about any fans but your own let alone a city fan?, sorry you don't understand your own double standards, it's ok for utd fans to dehumanise fans of other clubs, but can't take it. Oh yeah I forgot it's a manc thing isn't it,,,must get on that bandwagon....

As for the likes of gooner77, what a hypocrite, its ok for Cantona to hurl himself feet first at a fan and you have the audacity to try to justify it.....Moron. SG up to this point is innocent until proven otherwise. How come the fan has had so little to say about it. he probably doesn't even know who did what. Anyway it was only a scum-bag city fan, so what's the fuss... Well at last, Jake at least you recognise his footballing ability and in football forums that is what he should be judged by.

However, Fergie doesn't need to tell United fans to not like London or anything to do with England because it's a given, can't remember when I started to not care about England but I was young and nobody told me to, it was like being pre-programmed, probably because everyone hates United so it's an easy way of showing we don't care. Leads me on to Gerrard, don't care about him either, Scouse muppet but still probably the best central midfielder in Europe, shame he'll probably be the best never to win his home country's championship thanks to us. We've seen off northern alliance Newcastle/Liverpool/Blackburn in nineties, then it was the Londoners turn Arsenal followed by Chelsea and now it's Liverpool's turn again to see their record matched, how fitting that it looks like it's the closest they will ever get because no doubt the London clubs will be back next year to prove that you can't win titles or even finish second consistently with a two-man team.

We took Sky's money and can't really complain when they have a say in the way football is nowadays. I'm sure every manager or fan from every premier league team could pull out stats that suggest the fixture list being a disadvantage to them in some way. The Fergie/Wenger conspiracy theories are always trotted out as motivational tools for their teams, although I think Fergie is better at it than Wenger as it always seems to have the opposite effect on us :( There’s no doubt the super sundays were fixed last season, but surely none of the big four were advantaged or disadvantaged as they were all playing eachother, and it was obviously done for the benefit of the ‘worldwide television audience’ the premier league attracts.

Gerrard is a scumbag, he assaulted a player in the Amsterdam tournament a couple of years back and got no punishment.

Standard fare from both managers, both have it been at it for years, we all know it's nonsense.

Fergie does sound pretty paranoid. We have had more difficult fixtures, that does put us at a disadvantage, but I don't think the Premier League have organised it purposefully. I'd rather focus on Steven Gerrard's assault charge though, personally, as I find that <i>a lot</i> funnier than Fergie's paranoia. Yeh David, that part was alright too.

Carl "you may have a better chance at the prem than if he was playing". Give over mate. Champions of England, Champions of Europe, Champions of World!
