Manchester City fans were pissing themselves when the now infamous poster popped up in town. The club had forked out a small fortune to a London-based design company to come up with the slogan. Mark Hughes described it as “a bit of fun between fans”, likening it to the counter we have on the Stretford End which marks how many years the bitters have gone without a trophy. Difference is, our fans organised the counter, whilst MCFC were the ones to fork out the money with the sole intention of winding United fans up, and they wonder why Ferguson calls them a small club with a small club mentality?
Regardless, “Tevez 32″ was the name and number to have on this season’s City shirt whilst some of their fans camped out on this blog for a few weeks. The message we repeated was the same: we wanted him to stay because he worked his arse off but he didn’t have the quality you expect from a £25m player and we trusted the manager he’d made the right decision. We were told that was sour grapes and that he was world class.
Do they still think the same?
My friend sent me a link to the most popular Manchester City forum, Blue Moon, after he’d stumbled across it and got quite a laugh out of it. With fans of rival clubs always coming on here having a go, I tend to steer clear of other club’s forums and blogs, but this really is worth a read if you need a bit of cheering up. Was it £47m well spent?
- Poor mans Dickov!
- It seems everyone rates him because he runs around a lot. He’s a poor finisher, if he’d have put that one away today we would have won. He cost millions but looks like he’s worth thousands.
- His shooting makes vassell look like pele
- Carlos Tevez is very overrated and never worth the money we’ve spent on him, he scored a few crackers at United but thats about it. He’s a good squad player, nothing more. Ferguson was laughing when he got rid of him and his sulking on the bench.
- I’d have put that chance he had today in that he ballooned over from 3 yards.
- It was funny to wind up the rags when we got Tevez, but fuck me he’s turning in to a monumental embarrassment. Has done fuck all for ages! Think we should just bite the bullet and get rid tbh. embarrassing.
- I have to say how bad his first touch actually is has really surprised me.
- tevez isn’t as good as people actually think, if we haden’t of got him from the rags no one would of gone on about him as much.
- He looks so poor that even the clueless will pick up on the fact he is not that good soon enough.
- Tevez isn’t, wasn’t and never will be a £30m player. He has yet to justify buying him never mind his price tag.
- I want my strikers to offer a goal threat – i’m not that arsed if they turn the odd certain goal kick into a throw in.
- Workrate=great, quality=zero. Has to improve drastically because on what I’ve seen so far we’ve signed a £25mill Dickov.
And my favourite…
- fergie knew what he was doing when he let him go, we are a fucking joke!
Man Utd News 24/7
the last one is quality
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha “I want my strikers to offer a goal threat – i’m not that arsed if they turn the odd certain goal kick into a throw in.” ahahhaha
Last ones a corker!
But surely they’ll have wrapped up a CL spot by January. Oh Sparky!
P.S. I hate John Terry
Tevez for £25 million or little Micky for no pounds, no pence (save his pocket money)? Uh….let me think…
Hope you’re enjoying your time with Stockport – soz – uh, Manchester’s low-lifes, little Argie tinker!
this is awesome, but
whats even more embarrassing than this, is how our “fans” acted on the end of the season speech last season for a player who scored 5 goals.
HHHAHAHAHAHAH,, great article .”We are a fucking joke!”-they finaly admit that after spending 200 mils hahahahahahahhahaha
made my day this.
Yea the last comment was gold coming from a Citeh fan, also enjoyed the ‘His shooting makes vassell look like pele’ comment – very funny.
Ahh, Sir Alex knew best – now I hope the people that disrespected his end of season speech hang their heads in shame!
In Fergie We Trust
Ha, you beat me to it sprite – was typing that as you posted!
All together now…. hahahahahaha.
I’m sure it was funny at the time, but the bitters are finally coming to the realisation that money not being an issue does have its downsides. Any owner would still want some return on such a big investment – regardless of personal wealth – if only to save face.
Tevez will command a place in the side by virtue of that transfer fee. Another, much better player could be occupying that role in the team, improving them considerably more than he ever will.
Any way you observe the situation, it’s hilarity all around. He plays, they’re shit. He sits on the bench, we piss our sides at him being back to square one.
hahahahaha
fuckin awesome, i tried to tell my city supporting mates but did they listen? NO “tevez is world class mate” hmmm…
Poor Man’s Dickov should be a band name.
hehe bchilds.. that speech was the first thing that struck my head.. i was so embarrassed.. I must say if we could get him on a free transfer, i’d rather have Owen.. at least he doesnt act like Tevez did last season
as tony soprano would say, “he’s dead to me!” at this point who really cares?
as time goes by, the more we go on about him, the more it makes us look like we can’t really get over the guy. he’s city’s headache now, good riddance.
anyway, in light of our recent misfortune, winding up city fans and management has less of an appeal today.
on second thought, fuck it. have at ‘em! just keep making it funny cause we could all use a good laugh!
Quality.
In Fergie we trust !
Let’s all laugh at shitty!
LOL. Don’t worry City fans. Maybe next summer you will get someone who can actually score goals. Michael Owen. What? He is not interested in money? Oh, City are stuck with the fat Argie then. Life sucks…
Fergie, thanks a lot, Fergie Fergie thanks a lot
Yeah, except Fergie did put in an offer, and Tevez turned it down.
been having such a shit day so far but the last one made my day
- fergie knew what he was doing when he let him go, we are a fucking joke!
@sterdlk
is it surprising that fergie put in an offer for a player who admittedly works his his boots off, helped united win several major trophies, was a fan favorite, and had many close friends among the united squad?
the point is that fergie made him an offer for what fergie valued tevez at and he didn’t stupidly throw fantasy money at him just to keep him. city are the ones who were foolish enough to waste absurd money on him, that’s the joke.
but as i’ve said before, who still cares about this guy, anyway?
lol that was a good read. I don’t hate the guy to be honest and I didn’t care much when he left, because as one of them said “I want our strikers to offer a goal threat”
Maybe I have a soft heart but please do not be so hard on Tevez.
YES, I’m glad that Sir Alex let him go because Carlitos was never more than a 10-12 million pound player.
The problem for this clearly uneducated man who can hardly speak a word of English despite a number of years in the country is his former owner.
Kia whatever his name is saw a financial opportunity with Tevez, poisoned his mind with bullshit and the poor sod fell for it hook, line and sinker.
It’s a sad story of how naive footballers can fall under the spell of charlatans and believe me, it’s not the only one!
@cikku
there’s apart of me that shares those sentiments, but at the end of the day, tevez is a grown man. kia whatever his name is may have poisoned him to united as a means for his own financial gain, but let’s not feel too sorry for a man who went for the cash over glory. if he never plays another game, tevez will still end up with more money than most of us combined, and his family will be well looked after, financially. what is there really to feel sorry about?
and in the end, he made his choice, he left when he could’ve signed on. good bye, good riddance, thanks for helping us win trophies. i could care less what he does now, unless he hurts united.
There are many Man City supporters who are saying very much the same things about Adebayor. We are all enjoying it immensely.
It’s easy to look back and slag off the United fans singing, “Sign him up!” but without them he’d never have had the hype around him that he took to City. I mean he was obviously just hard working and piss poor, but it was the belief, however misguided, that many United fans had in him that has turned him into the City Messiah. Fair play to those fans I say, they didn’t intend it, but they have made City’s failure all the sweeter.
3 minutes at bluemoon and I was vomiting. cringe worthy.
@gooner
btw, what major trophies did adebayor help the gooners win?
was it the pre-season emirates cup?
or was it the back to back pre-season amsterdam tournaments?
massive!
hahahaha shitty get a shit worth 40M plus…priceless
Your link to wikipedia points to an article in the times. Excerpt:
“City’s billionaire Arab owners have agreed to pay almost twice the £25.5 million fee widely reported to have changed hands, The Times can reveal. An initial £15 million payment is to be followed by two additional sums of £16 million.
Another £3.5 million will be paid if City win the Champions League while Tévez is at the club”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Really?? Imagine them fancying a champions league trophy while bringing in “a very rare talent” from United for 47million!
No lie, that really did make me feel better. When the Bitters retreat into their hidey-holes they’re not so full of bluster as when they’re trying to get a rise out of us.
Tevez was great in a squad with finishers like Ronaldo and Rooney. He’s definitely not a player for any formation and needs a proper manager for his potential to be utilised – and that’s not going to happen in City.
It was always gonna happen. Citeh fans come to the stark realisation that Tevez isn’t actually all that good. 47 Million? Mwha ha ha!
Off topic – Good to see Fergie means business :
”We have a great squad and team of players. We are a very very good team. We have been criticised by a lot of people but we have a great cause now. To win the league”.
Go on Fergie get that siege mentality going. Some team is gonna get hammered soon.
@godsloveunitedsglory
quaaality mate…..thats my favorite one too!!
@ King Eric
Totally agree mate. I hope to see Micky Owen starting a few.
The kind of games we have coming up is made for a penalty box striker coz we are going to have loads of possession and chances, we just need a poacher to pounce and put the ball in the back of the net.
Morning mates. Thanks scott for that, please do me afaver, compare his goal rate with that of MO7 at the end of december 2009.
Good morning everyone.
good to see tevez showing his true worth and city fans realising it.How they would wish they had signed owen.here is a video that many of you may have seen but still.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YquUgDihMT0
Scott, what would you rather? City or the scousers in 4th place at the end of the season?
this makes for great morning reading. HAHAHAHAHA. and the last comment is almost to good to be true…
Anyone care to make the banner? “Fergie knows it, you are a f***ing joke!” Wave it at the next derby
Even some blues seem to have seen sense. The last comment was class. Tevez works like a sewer rat to win back balls which most of the time he lost anyway! His first touch is like Valuevs!
just to relive that derby.especially that owen goal.
http://therepublikofmancunia.com/video-rooney-fletcher-and-owens-goal-against-city/
Let me start by saying that is great reading, espicially when the bitters think we have won one over them by off loading Tevez. Tevez is dead to me signing for them directly from us.
But fuck Tevez he is not worth my typing efforts to comment but more so how poor is Lescott???? 24 Million Hughes should be on the chopping board for that signing. Defending at Burnley was commical.
There was a quetion city or the scousers for 4th? I dont think we need to worry about either.
that would make a great city t-shirt. ”fergie knew what he was doing when he let him go, we are a fucking joke!” don’t how many city fans would buy it though… hehe
Have a look at this….couldnt resist going to the bluemoon site to have look for myself….’ROFL’ for the last 15 minutes
http://www.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=147322&start=20
one city fan tries to defend tevez; says–
“And to describe him as the “new Paul Dickov” is just nonsense. Tevez has more ability in his left testicle than Dickov ever had.”
another one replies…” if you are the bluemoon testicle checker, i have a small lump on the left one, is it anything to worry about. ? a quick response would be appreciated”
Oh man…cant stop laughing
All comments the more clued up football brains amongst the Utd support had been saying for the last year he was at Old Trafford, yet we had idiots chanting “Fergie sign him up”, even worse, some chose to sing it over the managers speach, although Im suprised it wasnt chants of “Shoooot” given Fergie was 40 yards from the goal!!!!
that last one made me spill my cereal all over my laptop.
The sad thing is that £47mil is just a drop in the ocean for City now… it would be funny if they didn’t have any more money or whatever, but it’s simply a business expense that they don’t care about… sure, further down the line and one too many £30mil flops, the owners might actually check their bank balance, but those cunts have more money than you can poke a stick at…
on the flip side, all the money in the world aint going to do anything for you unless you have a very good manager like Fergie!!!
Teves 47m? robinho 32m?(record) adebayo 25m? lescott 25m? all =5 draws?
disgrace
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ttlkk4dKM8 around 35 seconds in
Funny how signing a “cast off” is seen as a victory in their eyes, most will come up with excuses of how he will come good, give him time etc etc, well he had all the time in the world at United and never produced, glad we got rid along with all the baggage he came with.
Waste of time.
Fucking hilarious!!! I am now begining to wish the scum had forked out £47m on him. Great workrate but his finishing is average at best and he has the touch of Paul Gadd.
Just wonder how many of our ‘fans’ who chanted over Fergie at the end of the season are on here and too scared to admit how wrong they were?! probably the same morons who have asked for Berba to be dropped…
all the true Facts bout Tevez, lol
Up to them…
@ Stretford Ender
So true, so true.
City fans knows it, now I wait for all those fucking pathetic experts to admit tevez is overpriced shit. Damn, so many were writting that letting tevez is our biggest mistake and shall benefit mc title hopes. Well it is true it benefits hopes and only that.
Fook me, £47m on Argy midget, £25m on that Klingon ugly mofo Lescott, £14m on Toure, £86m down the pan, not to mention the wage they are on.
Then £25m on Adewhore, £18m Santacrud, another £43m.
£129M wasted.
I know its’s a drop in the ocean to them, but someone has to have a look at that and say hang on a minute.
Dont think anyone of them would get into top 4, and Arse could not wait to be rid.
Heheheheheheh
Steve99 – I’d rather Liverpool finished 4th. Benitez might actually get the sack if they finished outside top 4 and we can’t have that. But more importantly, the City fans would be absolutely UNBEARABLE if they pinched a CL spot. I can’t even imagine it. 4th for Liverpool is still a massive failure, 4th for City would be like winning a trophy (granted, they’ve forgotten how it feels to actually win a trophy).
Don’t rely on Chelsea being shite during ACON. People said we’d be shit when we returned from Japan but we couldn’t stop winning. I know Chelsea are no United but the more they’re told they’re going to fail during January the more they will strive to prove people wrong.
Carlos tevez is a poor man’s rooney. I still think it’ll be between us and the rentboy’s for the league, though you cant rule out the gooners.
fuckin brilliant!! lets all laugh at stupid man shitty.
Red Devil – That blog is priceless! What a bunch of bitter , horrible, clueless, no nothing cunts. They were loving it when they signed him. “Got one over on United ” they said. Yeah as usual SAF is bang on. It is quite predictibly turning into the comedy club over at the wastelands. The funny thing is the player they all want starting is DeJong. Probably their cheapest player. Heard a cracker of a comment on the wireless last night that Onuha ????? is “the best centralk defender in the Premiership”. Who? They really are stupid ain’t they.
It was very satisfying to read that thread on BooMoon. One guy hit the nail on the head when he said that when through on goal, Tevez invariably scuffs his shot of blasts it over the bar.
Never mind that though, he runs around a lot and loves a tackle. Must be said, Tevez is definitely up there with Dirk Kuyt as one of the best “defensive strikers” on the planet….
5 Most Expensive Football Transfers of all time:
1. Cristiano Ronaldo, £80 million
2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, £60.7 million
3. Kaká, £56.1 million
4. Zinédine Zidane, £47.2 million
5. Carlos Tevez, £47 million
One of those names doesn’t belong… HAHAHA
Pure poetry.
To be honest as bad a signing tevez was I think Lescott was much worse. 24 mill on lescott yet they sell dunne for 6. That doesnt make any sense. Richard dunne is twice if not 3 times the player lescott is. Shitty have made some terrible decisions. Thats right get rid of your captain and player or the year for 3 seasons in a row and now theyre forcing Ireland out too. Idiots. Champions League sewn up by January. Ask my arse.
“we are a fucking joke!”. Wow, what a confession! Good to see the bitters seeing sense for once.
sanj
Two names actually – what the fuck is Ibrahimovic doing in there too?
Let’s hope city sign him in the summer as well.
…the last one sums it up. LOL
@King Eric
Absolute poetry to the ears mate!!
Hahahaha
did you see the picture with the pot…absolutely hilarious!
Am willing to bet a few that Hughes is the next manager to be sacked….
islandred- I thought the same thing, but some people worship the cunt, and I don’t want to talk about that non-United player.
RedDevil – Yes I did mate with the turd on the rim!
@islandred, theboogeyman… I agree Ibrahimovic is overpriced, but that is today’s market. He may be a bit of a tw*t, but there is no denying his ability (though he showed none of it against United in the Champions League). He is already showing what he can do at Barca, a much better club than Moaninho’s Inter.
Hopefully, neither city or Liverpool will finish 4th and someone like Spurs would get the spot. Out of the two, I’d rather City, as Liverpool need the money from the champions League. People such as Torres might also question his future if not playing in the Champions league.
Its very early days yet, this time last year, Hull were set for Europe!
Heres to Liverpool dropping into the Uefa cup this season, lets hear Rafa’s moans about fixtures when they have to play Thursday and Sunday.
From what Ive heard today, doesnt look good for Nani’s United future.
Tufty – Come on mate, what have you heard about Nani?
With Obertan getting more game time and his performances have been pretty poor this season I would not be amazed to see Nani leave, the only down side is we will make a huge loss on him as we will not get anywhere near the fee we forked out.
Id rather nani went out on loan than sell em, there’s a player in there some where just need to coach it out of him.
Tufty – do you live in Manchester? I don’t know how anyone who drinks in the same pubs as City fans could even contemplate them as a top 4 club – the giddiness levels are already ridiculously high and even more irritating.
Strange thing is, when he signed for them he was their absolute favourite because for them he was a symbol of a real backstab against us.
When they came to OT this season he was begging for us to still embrace him as a quality player and “legend”. Now, he’s having a bad time having just his own supporters doing that!
For us, he was something between a flop and a slightly ok player, but for them he is a pure flop.
Funniest thing is, now he’s gone from beeing a symbol of a backstab against us to beeing yet another symbol of Fergies brilliance.
Thanks for cheering me up, Scott
I thought Tufty was a Leeds fan?
I rather see Spurs or Aston Villa in the top 4 than Citeh or Dippers. At least those 2 teams still have some quality with them.
Oh, and Tevez? Who the heck is he? I only know of Rooney, Berbatov and Owen.
Robinho wants out asap, Berbatov, Kaka, Y. Toure and Maicon told them to fuck off, and even Adebayor was pimping himself to United until the very last minute before signing for them.
Doesn’t that send a clear message to Shity fans.
Its the lesser of two evils and you have to look at the long term implications.
City dont need champions league money, whilst Liverpool are desperate for it.
Liverpool always have been and always will be bigger rivals than City.
Anyway, what better than City getting 4th spot and being knocked out in the qualifying round.
Well well well
“Cristiano Ronaldo: Manchester City can’t buy United’s history – but I wouldn’t rule out joining the Eastlands revolution
By Ashley Gray
11th November 2009
Cristiano Ronaldo believes that no amount of spending by Manchester City can make up for the history of success at their neighbours United.
However, the former Old Trafford idol has not ruled out one day joining the Eastlands revolution.
Ronaldo left United in a world-record-obliterating £80million transfer during a summer of spending at Real Madrid that topped £220m.
City spent almost £120m on remodelling their squad but does not Ronaldo is not expecting a shift in power across Manchester any time soon.
‘I don’t see them being above United,’ said the Portugal star. ‘Perhaps one day, but not yet.
‘At United there are great traditions, which you can’t buy in one or two years. They are created by victories.
‘You need to prove again and again that you are better than the others. Manchester United has always done this and is still doing it, so they are the best.’
Ronaldo joked that he was worth even more than the eye-watering price Madrid shelled out for him, but he insisted: ‘The money did not change either my character or style of play.’
There were reports earlier this year that City might have even been rivalling the Spanish giants for his signature and admits he would never say never when it comes to one day wearing the sky blue shirt.
‘I don’t know (about City’s interest),’ he said. ‘I’ve have not heard about it. Now I’m at Madrid. Nobody knows what the future will bring. Real are the club of my dreams and I’m glad to be here.’
i’ve always known he was a mercenary and a sweet talker
definitely no better than tevez
wonder what all of you have to say now !
Dmitri Seluk, Toure’s representative, said: “If he leaves he’ll not go to City, where his brother Kolo said he would be welcomed with open arms. He would sign for a more important club.”

@ CROoney
I woud take this with a pinch of salt.
Only recently Ronaldo was reported to have said that he would never sign for City.
He is hardy desperate for City’s filthy cash, is he?
What part of ronaldo’s comments can you liken to tevez?? He speaks good sense when taklking about the history of the club. He’d never join city but has the sense to never rule anything out. Tevez said he wouldn’t join a domestic rival out of the “special relationship he has with the united fans, then joins the bitters???
And what happened to all the tick tocks from the citeh fans when they took great delight in polluting our boards all beacuse they had bought a fat argie with the first touch my 3 year old could better, and because they had paid alot of money to have a shite billboard put up. All that money and few months into the season all their hopes are dashed. I f’in love it
@crooney
what’s the point, mate? both tevez and ronaldo are gone, and ronaldo’s absence has a greater effect.
tevez talked rubbish about fergie and management after he left, and ronaldo went with a politician’s campaign of praising his united time and saying he will miss his teammates, wants fergie to be his life coach, etc.
which method would you prefer an ex-united player to leave?
at this point do you really think any true united supporter trusts the full sincerity or credibility of ronaldo’s public statements after all the will i stay or go madness of the past few years? and how many times have we seen a journo article be a complete fabrication in the first place?
i hated seeing schmeical, andy cole, and footage of denis law in city kits, but it usually happened at the end of the careers when they weren’t good enough for united. it happens. if ronaldo were to leave madrid, i’m sure it would be when his star lustre started to tarnish, and he was much less of a player than he is now.
the only way city could get him is too throw foolish money at him and wait for madrid to sell after his form deteriorates. at that point united most likely won’t want him back, and like schmeical, cole, and law, it’s their prerogative to earn a living as footballer’s even at stinking city.
to compare ronaldo’s behavior with tevez’ shite talking, well fair play if you see it as the same, but in the end they are both gone, who really cares?
@rooninho- spot on, mate
A lot of people want to bad mouth Ronaldo, he’s not our player I’ll just remember him for the success he HELPED bring us. It most certainly was not a one man show. As for Tevez I was one of very few who never wanted him at the club in the first place, especially when it was arranged that we reportedly paid £10 million to have him on loan for 2 years and all that registration bollocks with West Ham. There was always something fishy about him and Joorabchin he did well in his first year but missed shitloads of chances which is exactly what those bitter blue hoo hoo fans are witnessing now. None of other teams fans noticed this though but the proper United fans and more importantly Fergie did. He was a good super sub but thats about it, we were better off sticking with Alan Smith or Rossi IMHO.
fucking inbred retards those CITEH fans….
September – May to September is a fucking long time when you’ve got those lot whittering in your ear. If they finished 4th and got knocked out in the group stages they would be insisting that after some more stupid money they would be up there and ready to win the thing.
Plus if City play CL football they really will start buying great players – look what happened to Chelsea.
Liverpool finishing 4th is same ol’, same ol’… but City finishing top 4 would be unbearable.
Liverpool finishing out of a Champions league spot has the greater overall laugh, as they need the budget from it. Plus, whilst they are in it, theres a chance they could win it again.
It would actually rile them more that two Manchester clubs would be in the comp.
But I’d laugh even more if someone such as Villa got in there or Spurs.
The problem so far, has been that nobody has taken advantage of Liverpools slips, even Stoke could have gone above them if they beat Hull.
If Spurs and Villa can beat the teams around them going for 4th, dippers, city each other and everton then I can see one of them doing it. We showed last year taht you don’t need to get 6 points from the top 4 to win the league, if they can beat everyone else I can honestly see one of them making it. I think Spurs are a very good bet for 4th once they get Lennon and more importnatly Modric back I think the dippers will struggle for 4th place especially as they’re heading for the Europa League. Don’t want city to make they’ve been bleating about Tevez and if they get 4th its the new owners objective struck off the list which I personally don’t want.
never thought he was worth 25 mil…but 45 million on shitty can pay that type of money, i am really having a blast with whats goin on at loserpool and shitty hope spurs can finish fouth that would shut em up.
I agree with Scott re City/scouse potential 4th place. If the scouse finish 4th they will delude themselves that FSW is the greatest manager of all time and that next season will be their year for winning the treble!! If city get 4th they could potentially recruit a better class of player, rather than the overated merceneries they got this year. Also as Scott says, the city fans would be unbearable in the pubs and I couldnt cope with that. Hopefully they’ll both get relegated although i guess life don’t get that good.
And I always thought notorious red devil, new his stuff, point proven above! lol
…meanwhile 28 goals in 30 odd appearances later, Carlitos Tevez is looking like a real waste of money!
