Was with a rag I know last night who I don’t see very often. We started talking about “great” league teams and he obviously said the 99 team was the best. I pointed out that they won the league with very few points etc and that the best ever league team was us last year. Most points, wins, goals etc.. he just would not have it and said the invincibles were better. I ended by saying it does not bother me anyway as you only started liking football in 92, to which he could not respond.

Do it again this season, 100 points, 100+ goals, and there's no dispute, although rags and pundits will find something

Ok thanks but to satisfy my curiosity I went on the republik mancunia blog and read the full transcript, he simply said City.
Suppose the BBC thought their readers wouldn't know who that was !

I'm not sure he said "City". In the transcript I read (and I forget where) he said the team whose name I can't even mention. Rather like Ferdinand, who said, "Congratulations to the other team", he is a prick.

He'd look pretty stupid to do otherwise Oakie and I do believe that they have been ordered to change the narrative by BT Sports. It doesn't bother me one way or the other to be honest but I just thought, at the time, it was a remark of a smackedarse.

He'd fit in well, another arrogant ****, another swearing undying love to his current team, another who would suddenly be a boyhood rag, another who would score against poor teams (an improvement), another fat wage packet, another crazy transfer fee (dildo ltd won't let him go cheaply)....etc etc

Not a blue but been a member since long before the pair of you. I get banter, calling a random person out going about their day is just being a twat though, pretty simple. That’s how they behave and blues now revel in becoming them, that’s fine. Each to their own.

You have been a member on here for a lot longer than me too, but I bet I've been a match going blue for longer than you by a long way.
My first game was in 1961 aged 3...left school and got my first season ticket in 74/75 season and I've had it ever since.
The rag vermin always took great pleasure in slagging off City because we were dire and didn't have much we could say back , apart from that we actually went to watch our team.
Once the Premier League was formed and the scum had their period of dominance the abuse got much worse and even when we were separated by 2 divisions we were always mocked by rags as soon as they saw us wearing our colours ( proudly wearing them too ).
Now the boots on the other foot and you think we shouldn't take the piss out of the C.unts...no fucking chance .
I love giving the rag bastards as much stick as I can without actually smashing the twats physically.
If that offends you then I know I'm doing something right.

I remember when Ferdinand made that sour-pussed remark that I wondered was he following some weird, in-house protocol of not being allowed to mention Manchester City in a complimentary way.
I dismissed as just me being over-sensitive or trying on a tin foil hat for size or something.

Then, Moyes took all sorts of flak for one off the cuff comment in a pitch-side press conference. Of course, he wasn't sacked for that alone - but, if you do want to play the conspiracy game - it has widely been referred to as indicative of the way his reign was circling the toilet bowl. Imagine: complimenting City on being a better team - when they clearly were - being such a source of actual distress to them.

Then, Cantona described us as 'the team whose name I cannot mention' (or words to that effect, m'lud) and the same suspicion flared has flared in my tiny, paranoid mind again.

It can't be so, can it..? I mean, everybody knows that WE are the small club with the small time mentality. :-)

*Sits back and waits for the usual know-all clowns to bore everyone with their half boiled theories on how the media really works/ confirmation bias/ why I''m really sad for reading a pattern into three similar but isolated incidents over a six year period.
I know I am. Piss off and let me have my fun *

He is coming at the angle that when the scum Arsenal Liverpool and Chelsea were alwsy top four and scum winning 13 titles in bacons reign that teams were still beating them occasionally!

Suppose they have to come up with a new angle and something to write about.
