United thread 2017/18

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

City have had 4 serving players in the last two World Cup finals (Aguero, Demichelis, Zabaleta and De Jong). I tried to remeber the last time any serving rag player played in a World Cup final. I could only think of Charlton and Stiles in 1966.

Barthez
Blanc
Van der sarr
Kleberson
Mata
Schweinsteiger

And David silva is a serving city player, along with viera.... there's more I'm sure!!!

Wasn’t it these cnuts that tried to cause trouble between Us & Napoli fans a few years ago?

Did they really?

 

[City Raider]

Add a word to describe Moaninho, ill start with................ VINDICTIVE.

Stupid.

After Spain, he really thought he could take Pep on?

Barthez
Blanc
Van der sarr
Kleberson
Mata
Schweinsteiger

And David silva is a serving city player, along with viera.... there's more I'm sure!!!

I think Navas played in the final??

I think the op meant the final..... not the finals....

Ya that sounds about right but the market has exploded since. SAF's most expensive signs were Berbatov and Rio? Probably the equivalent to £80m players now a days. Of course with PSG and City taking the piss in recent seasons, that £80 is probably £100m plus £50m bonuses.

Rio is a hell of a lot more than that in todays money. Berbatov probably considerably more too.

Utd were happily outspending everyone for years before Chelsea came along and changed things. When Veron and Van Nistelrooy came in for, what £47m combined, when no one else in the league was spending, or even had the capacity to spend, anywhere near that kind of money, I don't recall Utd fans coming forward to complain about how this gave them an unfair advantage.

I support a low-level Scottish football team and have sympathy for Utd but this as an excuse is completely ridiculous, petty, embarrassing, and needs to stop.
