Lmao he tells slabby to mark the guy out wide which opens up the space inside and then stops chasing the guy with the ball, it's almost like he's playing for Sheffield.

You can just about make out Slabhead looking back at Sir Marcus as he's chasing after the guy on the ball as if to say wtaf?!

3 days late but hey it is not as if it is a serious offence.
A cynic might even say they waited for a shit (boring) result before contacting der dibble. It will give Silly Sally something to report now on Rag breakfast TV.

Pisses me off that Manchester city Council entertains them if they win a cup with a parade. They contribute nothing financially to the council coffers

Not only that they pay virtually no tax in the UK either and their contribution to the local community in Greater Manchester is not that impressive and nowhere near the scale of City's investment and that pre-dates our takeover in 2008. They do a lot of PR and smoke and mirrors content.

Ramos linked with the rags. Talk about a match made in heaven.

Another over-the-hill mercenary looking for one last payday. The Rags never seem to learn.

Correct. I was born and bred in OT, this side of Warwick Road on Skerton Road and went to Stretford Grammar not OT Grammar!

Judging by your username you've done well for yourself. :-)

They basically come from nowhere in particular then, which matches their playing style. Pretty sure that during their borefest against Arsenal yesterday I heard Tyler make the excuse for them that they are still rebuilding. This will be the transition started by Moyes?

7 1/2 years ago.

That's some fucking rebuild!

Rashy helping Slabbo in defence.

Always liked school dinners. Keep up the good work.

Rashford is not a bad player, tad overhyped but seems a decent sort. Now I’m off to wash in bleach for these impure thoughts.

Remember when... it was us...intrested in Peter Beardsley,Dailian Atkinson Nigel Clough,George Weah,Denis Law,Robbie Fowler,
....Buying a over the hill player on the way down is evidence of Madness..or panic reaction to a plan that's gone wrong.
It rarely works out well

They had something of a success story with Ibrahimovic and now they think any signing of an older player is going to be like that. They've forgotten Bastian Schweinsteiger already. Most of them would say Cavani has been a success. He's scored 5 goals since joining.

I think rashford is hugely talented, but criminally under coached. He'd have been on a par with some of the best if someone like Pep would've had the time to develop him.

5 goals..wow.
Look into the City Mr Edison...you might think your worthy of the no.7 shirt at the swamp,but in Manchester,theres a player wearing No.47,who has more goals than you,more assists,is two footed,and cost his club nowt.......and plays in Blue.
The bbc have given more headlines to this show boating over the hill mercenary foreign striker,than the most gifted young English player for decades.
Why is this ?
Maybe....just like with Jimmy S...you didnt know/didnt see.
Ho hum.

Fair comment that.

I reckon they’re shit.

As you will know the boys school was on Greatstone Road and the girls up near Longford Park back in them days. 1964 to 1969 for me.

And lost it all with my divorce :-)

Didn't do too bad having failed all my GCE's!

But best thing was working all over Europe and meeting and marrying the now Mrs Prague :-)

Rashford reminds me of Darren Huckerby. He is a speed boat without a driver. He is neither a striker nor a winger.
