“but you would have never got a City fan bigging up United like this when we were wining everything”

This is also bolllocks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
again. Really?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes.

Maybe you shouldn’t generalise whole fanbases and judge others based on your own behaviour.

Further proof of Jalisco's Theorem, which asserts that everybody was born a United fan

ok

but you would have never got a City fan bigging up United like this when we were wining everything.

Hence, 'The Bitters'.

BTW in sport, I'm not sure you can 'take the cheating away' to conclude that anybody's sporting achievements are 'admirable'.

Not from where I come from, anyway. It's actually immoral.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I did
----------------------------------------------------------------------
really?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I went to OT a lot when I was younger and for a lot of the nineties. Stopped going so much in the late nineties.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
so you were a United fan then.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I wouldn’t say a fan, half my family were and I used to go with my cousins and uncle, I went to Maine Road more.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


Strange for that period ot time. But, ok.

As in how long I went for? I’d never turn down going to see live football, I still go with my cousin from time to time but far less often, haven’t been to OT since pre the pandemic now.

Most clubs (probably) have a legitimate complaint against City and certainly have the ‘won the lottery’ angle to go at.

But United don’t.

We have enough resources to beat them, or at least compete. We don’t compete because the clubs been run appallingly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely true

No I mean the 1990s.

I know many Macunian football fans went to City and United in the pre war period through to ground share into the 50s.... but with the rivalry and aggro of the 60s 70s 80s in my experiences anyway you were either Red or Blue and never the twain.

However last time I saw City in the flesh outside a derby match was at the play-off final at Wembley on the way back from Barcelona in 1999 with tickets we got from a director of Gillingham at work.

Needlless to say we all supported the Gills

Of course. United fans of today are complete pu55ies and soft pandering Chihuahuas with ni backbone.

Have you seen how they celebrate City winning the league? Their local derby rivals?

It's OK to prefer City over Arsenal and Liverpool because their success means fack all in football, but the pants jizzing, wummingamd riding on another teams success while they are a midtable mess is something United fans of old would never be caught dead doing.

The years in the wilderness have taken their toll on them.

Some of us can distinguish from the mess that one often finds on forums to actual fans at the games themselves.

This doesn't really happen, and in any case it's just ja606 you're talking about. If there were more than five City fans on here it might be different.

I have to admit, I dislike Arsenal and Liverpool more than City, although I wish all 3 could lose the title

But whilst it's good that Ineos have come in and things are changing in the background, ultimately it's all about the main man who is picking and managing the team - if that's not right, then you'll never be successful.
City are no different to when we were on top - moaning about fixture congestion, everyone wanting us to lose etc etc, it just goes with the territory.
I do find that City aren't an exciting team to watch, even when they score loads of goals - I know they like to control games with possession etc, but it does feel like death by a thousand cuts at times

Ultimately, it's about the quality of the players / squad.

Pep couldn't win the league with West Ham.

Moyes could win the league with Citys squad.

City are looking shattered though, so maybe Cov or United have a shot at the FA Cup this year.

I disagree - you can have great players, but not necessarily win the league. Of course to win the title, you do need to have a great squad, but without the right manager, you won't win anything.
I'm not sure Moyes could win the league with city's squad.
There are always exceptions, such as Leicester, but it's more about managing those players and keeping them happy, not just who is out on the pitch.

Pep moaning about the health of his players after being forced to play today after their midweek game.

Can someone tell Pep is upto him what team he puts out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Shearer pretty much told him that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And if he fielded a second string today he'd be accused of disrespecting the cup. Can't win either way really but I don't think it would of been hard to allow us the Sunday fixture?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s utter bolllocks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go on 🙄

Nothing wrong with Pep stating we play against the top team in Europe on the Wednesday, United, Coventry and Chelsea don't play mid-week and we're on first, we should've played Sunday, whats the problem here?

Juventus possessed one of the best squads in Europe with the likes of Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Patrick Vieira, Pavel Nedved and Zlatan Ibrahimovic lining up on the field, while Fabio Capello directed them from the dugout.

Before they were convicted there was loads of admiration, nowadays Juventus are rightly known as recurrent cheats.
The outcome of the investigation will dictate future recollections.

"Before they were convicted there was loads of admiration, nowadays Juventus are rightly known as recurrent cheats"

Are they? I think they are still seen as a big tie by most fans if drawn in Europe
