Last night I was following the match on Bluemoon. I was a bit behind the posts because I was simultaneously watching something on TV. I was always about 3 or 4 pages behind. Suddenly at about quarter past nine I noticed the number of pages suddenly jumped ahead very quickly. That was either good news or bad news. It was actually exciting speed-reading the posts before catching up and discovering which one it was. Brilliant.
 
There are also a handful of players in the dressing room who feel conned by the board.

United have purposely been delaying contract talks and utilising one year renewal options to avoid paying players more money until they have to.

This had caused a huge rift in the dressing room in light of the money some of them are on.

In particular, Rojo, Martial, Blind, De Gea, Herrera and Mata were/are being delayed.

Was bound to happen once they started paying Lukaku, Pogba, Big Nose and Sanchez the big dough.


De Gea & Martial leaving under Mourinho & Woodwoo would create a true shit storm. This could get really ugly(funny).

I like doing that,i start reading where i left off so i get the full journey,jumping to the last page is just cheating
 
What I am struggling with is the lack if any blame being attached to DeGea, I have watched that second goal a few times now and still can't understand how he failed to tip it over the bar. He was again going for the showpony save but totally misjudged it.

Can you imagine if Bravo had done this last year?

Having just watched it again, I’m not sure that the alpaca could have done much better. He was stretching to reach the ball, so maybe you could criticise his positioning, but little else.

In any case, the rags only scored one goal, so even if he’d saved it, they would still have gone out.
 
This post and your one before it I concur, spot on blue.

I think city supporters who are old enough to remember following us in the 80s and 90s can fully understand the depths of despair the club plunged to and the pain we suffered whilst the rags revelled at our misfortune and further demise,. How they enjoyed reminding us each time they gleefully changed the number on the banner in the ragford end, compounding our misery every time we went to the swamp or saw it on TV. The songs they sang like my old man and city are a massive club made me resent them even more, but I never once waivered from being a blue. I loved the club back then as much (if not more) than I do now, and their constant taunting and belittlement seemed to galvanise me even more.

Sometimes I wonder how things would of transpired to be if Dickov hadn't of scored that goal at Wembley in 99, but things would of been very different from a rags POV if Robins had not of scored the FA cup header that saved Fegie from the sack. Both were defining moments in our clubs history.

I think united fans took the clubs success under fergie for granted and their younger fans had never known anything but success.
There were times that such was the chasm of us and them(top4) I genuinely believed I'd never see us win another trophy since the distant memory of the 76 league cup win.

Nowadays, everyone knows we weren't there when we were shit, and our club was only founded in 2008. We have no history and we don't deserve our sugar daddy fortune and success as we are not entitled.

Tough shit, my heart fuckin pumps piss to all the rags who cannot accept that the league is all about money, never bothered them when they were buying camel lips and granny groper for 30 mil whilst we were signing players for a fraction of that.

I'm not arsed about becoming bigger than them, or that they have more trophies in their history than us. I'm over the blue moon that we are no longer in their shadow and winning trophies i thought we never would.

Fergie once quipped "not in my lifetime", and he was only refering to City becoming top dogs in Manchester. Many united fans boast we will never catch their trophy haul up, but Liverpool fans probably thought the same.
I doubt I'll be alive to see if we can catch them up, but maybe our younger fans be alive if it was to happen.

Meanwhile, I'll just continue to support the club i love and enjoy the great football on display. Every trophy we win is a bonus IMO. I'll let the rags worry about our continued rise to their dismal demise.

Mind the gap, it might get bigger; )
The funny thing is that the "Not in my lifetime" reply wasn't that City would be top dogs, but that City would be favourites in a Manchester Derby.

I would like to apologise for my language last night when Seville scored. Got a bit over excited.
 
I doubt that
