Fuck me,

I hope this is the rantings of some 10 year old kid trying to look big and clever to his mates but i highly doubt it.

Where's Fred.?

This is a question that should be getting raised more often, a £50+ million player who can't get into that shambles of a midfield.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Seriously, on what planet was appointing Ole as manager a good idea?

Fucking madness

It's as though they gave Blue Moon free reign to hand pick their manger...........

Im not sure we could have come up with too many more unqualified candidates?

 

[Newman Noggs]

I hope Ole succeeds but, if he doesn't, they're going to need someone with club and international management experience and who is steeped in united dna. We need to prepare a shortlist of such people we can pass on to Eddie.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

The fans wanted it,the owners delivered.

Funny as fuck

I can't wait 'til we as a fanbase demand Richard Edgehill be installed as Manager as soon as Pep finally f#cks off..........

Actually, looks like they already have it.

Yes indeed. The club was in such dire financial straits that the team was reduced to wearing such a tatty kit that their own fans (oh the irony!) started calling them the rags. "Come on the rags!" was a regular shout from the sparsely populated terraces. Then City, not for the first or last time, stepped in to help and in a neighbourly gesture bought a new set of kit for them. Not long after James Gibson, their second sugar daddy, pitched up and wiped out all their debts and steadied the ship somewhat.

City gave the rags a new set of kit and the rags gave us the clock banner. Never forget.

A nice piece of fiction but I have it on good authority that they only spend money that they earnt ;-)

Fatty Holmes as nutritionist...

He is already employed as Shaw's personal trainer

Disgusting that the all-knowing Ratboy is on that list.........

Why disgusting? I would think appropriate would be the correct term.

Thanks.

I remember reading about it in one of @Gary James' books - Manchester: The City Years, I think it was - but couldn’t recall the time period.

He also wrote that while rags were happy to use the nickname themselves, they hated it if supporters of other clubs did so.

Not much has changed, really, has it?

In my youth many older City fans called United the rags or rubbing rags. Presumably because they were of that vintage and a rubbing rag was a dirty old cloth used to wipe up crap. The name rags became widely used among City fans of all ages only relatively recently when it (thankfully) replaced the 'M' word.

So Palace beat the Rags away then lose at home to Colchester, so funny.

Utd fans did call Utd the Rags but I have no record that City ever bought them a kit. I've searched for evidence but nothing has ever appeared. City did donate money to Newton Heath at their bazaars in the early 20th Century (and City officials did as well).

That’s even better.
