I will tell you how big this United and Liverpool rivalry is (At risk of people being appalled by what I say). I asked a girl out in 1991. She was pretty fit (different league to me). I thought she would say no but she was a United fan so I told her I had 2 tickets for Utd v Liverpool that weekend (then I thought she would say yes). It worked and she said yes. I then went to Old Trafford on the Thursday to buy tickets for the match THAT WEEKEND. And got 2, easily.
That year United capacity was c47500. Two weeks earlier they had played Sunderland at home in front of 45,394 and then for the huge clash versus Liverpool they attracted 43,690. Not even a sellout, hence I could wander up and get tickets with 3 days notice. Biggest rivalry my arse

You dirty bastard lol
 
One journalist has stood by City throughout FFP. That journalist is Martin Samuel.

Time and again in the Daily United he has defended us and fought off the baying Rags, Coach Wreckers, Tarquins, Chavs(the irony), Spurs fans, and general City haters.

Why on earth he works for that f***ing Daily United, PR, fanzine is beyond me.

No, my apologies, I was thinking we could still bring youngsters over from Spain etc for the academy but hasn't that been stopped? If we were they would be desperate for help if they couldn't speak the language etc. Samuel is correct though, why spend multi millions and then ignore them.

FIFA have rules on non-EU players being bought before 19 years old:

FIFA’s rules say players aged 18 or under can only be transferred abroad if one of three criteria are met: if their parents emigrated for non-footballing reasons, both clubs are in the EU or European Economic Area and the player is aged between 16 and 18 or the player lives within 100km of the new club.

I'm not fully sure on what theirs and UEFA's rules are on EU based youth players but the last criteria makes it look like they have to be over 16. I don't think it will be fully stopped but it does look like it will be less common because of the clampdown from FIFA, especially after what happened to Chelsea. Maybe twosips or someone up on the academy can clarify?

Fantastic post.

Cunts had us hanged, drawn and quartered.

The media was/is a willing executioner on behalf of the G14.

And they still haven’t apologised, in fact they then spun the narrative that CAS could be bent or worse still that we’d somehow ‘got’ to them which fed the Neanderthal plastics even more. We are still guilty due to the way the media have behaved.
 
This might be the wrong place but BBC report if City win tonight and United don’t we go top. Surprisingly positive reporting. Even had Pep wishing Villa staff well after the COVID outbreak (take note Everton) and clips from our last win.

This will need putting right in time for the Breakfast show!

Carragher is an absolute lowlife scumbag. He shafted my brother’s mate who did a paved driveway at his house, only for his wife to turn round and say she had changed her mind about the colour they had both chosen and had signed off. Carragher threatened to tie him up in court for years and bankrupt him rather than pay the pre-agreed price “cos Im a millionaire who can afford it and you're not”

I would have thought that quite a few small claims solicitors who would have had loved to pursue the case on a no win no fee basis and a bit of publicity.
If the tradesman got a judgement it would be great to see Mr and Mrs Spitty receiving a televised visit from the bailiff programme and wandering about the house seeing what the tat and bling was worth seizing.

Lots of gushing from Silly Sally earlier this time about Leicester ('can they do it again') just because they are top for a while and because they ain't City. No mention of tonight's matches.st
If we do hit the top you can bet there will be less coverage of that than the British Broadcasting Corporation gave earlier to the meaningless report that there is a female umpire appointed in some American sport.
Then Sally gushes more than the River Calder on flood alert about Leicester in the headlines at 0800.l sense a 'stop City at all costs movement' will soon begin.

I have a feeling that there was something on the notices on the window that gave it away as well. Possibly even a wider angle view of the shop showing it to be in US.
So much of this crap appears it is difficult to remember.

How fake is that and how gullible do you have to be to beleive it’s true.
Look at the tattoo - even though he’s arched forward slightly and his back is curved the tattoo is completely straight which means that tattoo pic and been printed in top of a photo
