love the series…and am i first?
hahaah! the first time in a few hours i put a smile across my face.
Lol, don’t forget Balotelli’s agent’s comments about going back to Italy.
Nothing has changed and nothing would change..except the players.
This is how it feels to be City, this is how it feels…
“In a COUPLE of years we would overtake United?” C’mon, how could he believe that in the first place? Mathwise, common sense wise, how can that be possible?????? Or am I missing something?
But, oh, how I love this series!!!
this one could be the best yet
Robinho is lying. They overtook United on twitter.
ya, let’s not indulge in self-pity over rooney.
life goes on….& wat better way then to start laughing at city! hahahaha!!!
@Costas… hahahahaha!!!!
A masterstroke of blogging credentials
Uplift us you have Scott
Let’s all laugh at… wait… hold…
Small club mentality
How many years : )
On the independent one of them (Guv) reckons that the charity shield isn’t even a trophy
I told him beggars can’t be choosers – with that kind of mentality they will win fuck all
At least when Maureen was at Chelsea he made the competition worthwhile.
Fucking deluded city are
The other funny thing is that in the picture Robinho looks like he is trying to tear the shirt of his skin, lol.
Costas
My dear Costas it’s over then for us : )
Manchester United twitter 0
Manchester City twitter 1
Though it would help if we had a twitter account – we’d blow them out of the water then – let’s give them that head start!
For United – For Costas – May 2011
Surely, the Petrov statement last week should be turned into one of these?
@MG
Here it is!

Lets take the banner down hey?
haha.. the picture is great!
Hahahaha! Nice one, Robbie. Stick the boot into the MASSIVE club. “We’ve got Robinho!” How predictable that it would end this way. I’ve always liked Robinho as a player, to be fair. Would have been a great player for us I reckon. That said, he’s changed his tune a bit since last summer when he claimed Ciddy were as big as Brazil and Real Madrid:

the city is blue.my ass it is lol
Costas
Take the banner down
Surrender
They have done it
The Twitter account has given them history
We are nothing on Twitter
It’s over
It was good whilst it lasted
: )
Fred – Welcome back pal, have missed your humour.
Cheers King Eric. How could I turn my back on you guys? Life’s too short, mate. Nice to see you again.
They say you win some, you lose some. We’ve lost our faith in Wayne, but we have Fred back.
Don’t leave again, now…
Hahahahahahaha! overtake who?~~
It’s important you don’t lose your faith in yourself.
It’s great to see top class players even if they aren’t playing in red.
So it’s such a shame for football that City and Chelsea are spoiling the careers of so many good players. Robinho isn’t the first or last.
Scott Parker and Roque Santa Cruz are two prime examples. Before signing a deal to become highly paid bench warmers, they were fairly big names. Parker has not become the international midfielder he could have been and Santa Cruz will be lucky to get a game this season.
Don’t be surprised when Balotelli moves on in a few years time.
In other news, Hargo hasn’t made the Ch.League squad even though there was one free spot. So I guess we are back to square one as far as what his condition is. Not surprised at the Bebe one since I doubt he will play 45 minutes of first team football until Christmas. The exclusion of De Laet was a bit weird though.
De Laet doesn’t seem to be getting any chance, even though he was reserve team player of the year. Maybe the plan is to loan him out in the new year? But that doesn’t mean he can’t be selected for the group stage so….
do you know what i love most about these
in everyone there are comments saying “dont forget when_____ said this” there is always more embarrassment for the project, The Shay Given shout has been said for weeks

would like to hear your opinion about this transfer rumour involving Ninis
Caption for the picture, i hate playing for City so much, that I’m gonna hate this shirt, ahhh!!!
Hahahaha! Best one yet!
@ancha
He is a good player. He is an AM that also plays on the right. Definitely too good for the Greek League anyway. The problem with him is similar(but not to the same degree) with Bebe. He is 20 and he hasn’t developed as much as he could. When I think of him joining United, I think of Tosic. It will take something special for him to make his mark.
However, it must be said that these rumors are not based on Greek reports. So it’s hard to say if his club is willing to sell him just yet. At the same time, a transfer rumor 3 days after the window closed doesn’t seem too valid.
@costas
thanks for your review…if only anderson could do a nani…then our squad is complete…
did he say city? or chelsea instead?
he not even sure which club he did sign, whether its the blues or the sky blues….LOL
citeh do overtake united, in terms of years of not winning anything, enter its 34th year….
i posted that on facebook yesterday… good to see that scott had the same idea that i did.
Dont believe everything youre told, rob!
About Ninis and Tosic, have to agree that hes better off staying put. Hes too small to make an immediate impact, and we dont buy or play “attacking midfielders”. If you want to make it United as a winger, you have to be big, fast, skillful and mature/confident.
Costas – Disagree here mate, think there could be something in the Ninis story, it has been doing the rounds for a few years now.
Lets all take notice of Robinho now eh? I suppose his word is now gospel? It’s your city as well he’s taking the piss out of…..isn’t it?

Ninis wants United move.
@willie
It’s funny how your perception about transfer rumors can change if you live in the heart of one. Are we monitoring Ninis? Yes. I think this has been the case since he started breaking out 3 years ago. And this is why the Ninis rumor has lasted this long. The papers assume that United will eventually make a move for every player we monitor.
But I read reports like the one from your link and it has me wondering how accurate they can be. The only quote coming from the Panathinaikos board over here is that United haven’t made an offer. His agent in Greece said the same, although he said that he will double check with the agent Ninis has in England. So either Ninis and his club have been more revealing to foreign press or it’s fabricated. Furthemore, Panathinaikos will undergo a change in their ownership status and I don’t know if selling players is their priority right now.
That being said, I am not denying it could happen. If United make an offer like the one rumored, Panathinaikos will probably accept it. But I don’t believe there’s much to the story right now.
Most of my greek friends say he’s not ready for a transfer like this.. We’ll see
Nice to see us talking about “OUR” team rather than those in blue.. It’s all getting a bit boring really…. I’d rather read articles about the red side of Manchester….
@Stephen
I think that’s a fair comment about Ninis. The problem is that he has never had a Sir Alex to help him perfect his craft. He is still going on raw talent.
Yeah, you have a point. From what i’ve head his best came against Roma.
The coaching will def be of a higher standard and you only have to look what Fergie, Meulesteen and co have done with other youngsters to know they can do the job if he has the talent.
I get the impression some greeks can’t believe anyone would pay that for him, then again it’s potential that may or may not be fulfilled.
You can see SAF thinking, he’d probably play in the Scholes role. Am i right in thinking that he has a buy out clause?
Yes he does. I think it’s around 8 million pounds. His style isn’t similar to that of Scholes though. He plays as a winger or behind the main striker.
Stephen, yeah there is a certain amount of disbelief. But it’s not because of his talent. It’s just that no other Greek has ever joined a club like United for that amount. He has a chance of making it in England if he bulks up a bit and adjusts.
I thought he played AM. Well, we’d never signed a Mexican, until this season, first time for every thing. Defour is another option of course, or we might sign both, if the glazers dig in to their pockets lmao.
At least Ninis wants to play for United, instead of the usual line of wanting to play for a “big european club”.
@costas, is he part Albanian?
Anyway, it is about time we sign a Greek player:)
@united.george
Don’t know his exact roots, but I think he is. He was born there and his family must have immigrated in Greece when he was very young.
Not saying it’s definitely a lie, but not sure if he prefers United over other big clubs. Again, it’s something that he hasn’t been quoted on yet.
I’d love to see a Greek play for us. If it was going to be anyone it’s him. Well Samaras was also quite promising but City ruined him, lol.
@willie
Yes he is an AM, but I don’t think he can play in a midfield of two. He is more like Joe Cole.
