Meanwhile Sam Wallace in the Telegraph goes in hard on United. His big buddy Neil Ashton won't be pleased.
This follows up surprisingly positive stuff from Ducker.

Behind a paywall but for those who know how it should be accessible:




"There is certainly no shortage of ideas when it comes to taming the game’s billionaire arrivistes, or reworking the domestic and European game to the advantage of United and fellow storied franchises. But tick tock goes the clock. Almost eight years since Ferguson departed and no closer to a title. Season by season City are building an empire, one which United are quite capable of fighting on their resources. They just do not know how."

I can’t see the full story but the headline is good enough!


No club has ever spent as much as Manchester United to be as average as this​

He states that winning the European Cup in 1999 over Bayern Munich was his greatest achievement as a manager by far. He says his team displayed all the qualities you'd (he'd) want to see - never give in.
Now everyone remembers his team being totally outplayed that night, Munich missing so any chances, the woodwork keeping the lead down, United's goal leading a massively charmed life before they fluked an equalizer and won it with the last kick of the game.
I think Pep would say in similar circumstances "Yes we won - but we could play much, much better". One thing Pep does - he's very honest about the need to improve all the time.

I think the merits and achievements of that united ‘99 team are often overstated, but winning it in that way, to complete a treble, is about as good as it gets - and the quality of not giving in until the final whistle gave all City fans a moment we will never forget - and will have hurt Ferguson more than anything else in football.

Don’t think he’s said anything wrong there.
 
Check the very gritted teeth on this lady as she asks... "Wow sounds like you want to stay forever". They can't handle the thought of us dominating like others have in the past. Cant handle it. Gritted teeth, toys out of the pram, "sportswashing", "bad for football"...its everywhere. They can't handle it, and they're desperate to stop it with whatever it takes, and wow are they looking desperate right now. Come on City take them to the cleaners

Saw a picture in a fanzine back in the day where Cole was on holiday ( Cyprus I think) at the height of his rag fame. A group of lads with Manc accents had approached him and asked him to pose for a photo with them. Believing them to be rag admirers he readily agreed. Poor old Cole crouched smiling like an idiot while behind him a crowd of blues made V signs, wankers signs and nob head gestures at him. He played his best football at Newcastle anyway.
