Ah well that is the end of the family enclosure as kids won’t be jabbed nor people with medical conditions
 
Just reading an article about a potential signing on the mUen CITY web page - right in the middle up pops a video clip of Ole signing his extended contract with the rags. I have finally decided the time is long overdue for me to stop logging onto the mUen web site. I'll get my Corrie Street spoilers from a different site (for my wife you understand).

Different, because all their money is earned from sales of jellied eels at Lou Macari’s chippy, zebra trackie bottoms & green n gold scarfs

Not forgetting, the hilarious Nursery Rhyme EP's and Eric Cantona pyjama /straitjacket duvet combo. Particularly handy to wrap one's girlfriend in whilst giving her a jolly good thrashing. Allegedly.

A jolly good thrashing is also known as a 6-1.
 
Think it’s safe to say the rags are now the dippers version of the darlings of the media
they do no wrong in they splurge money EVERY season and can come no nearer to us its pathetic.
£160 million for Kane has been grasped from a show biz reporter from the sun and they roll with it . Just had the misfortune to listening to “look I’m a city fan “ Trevor Sinclair having a pop what bile. If the club had some bottle then they should send a message in don’t bother crossing Ashton new road your not welcome.
 
Absolutely, every million the rags or scousers spend on players is met with glee, no criticism no matter how high the fee, the media are wet with excitement. Contrast that to the anger of our pursuit of Kane and Grealish, the media in a rage, kicking stuff around the office, hitting their keyboards that bit harder whilst typing shite stories about evil City. Even Chelsea's 250m splurge last summer didn't bat any eyelids with our impartial press. We're a free hit for the cunts, has to change soon

When the rags or dippers pay mega money for a player they're "strengthening their squad" or "making a statement". When City buy a player they're "ruining football".

Pretty much. We have to play the long game here. Shit for the hear & now but fuck all we can actively do but ignore the bike and defend our club.

Exactly - who's got the Allison Rudd clip from a particular installment of Sunday Supplement where she is caught completely off guard when Neil Ashton (yes, that Neil Ashton) asked to expand on what the difference is between City spending X millions on transfers and in this instance Real Madrid spending X millions on transfers?

Paraphrasing but she barely strung a sentence together but basically said that 'Real have always done it so it was ok'.

Yet another wonderful insight into the journalistic workings of the industry.........

Things are certainly moving in the right direction so you have a point. As an example, I've just googled "Manchester United" and got about 175m search results. I did the same using "Manchester City" and got 80m results. That latter number would probably have been a lot less a few years ago. SEO's measure these things much more scientifically and the story is that they are still significantly more popular than us but that might not be quite so true in 5 or 10 years.

Not sure if this the right thread to post but I was searching an old thread and stumbled upon this old post from PB and tried the same experiment.

3 years later and the numbers are vastly different:

Manchester City 629,000,000 (9 digit)
Manchester United 574,000,000 (9 digit)

More popular are the Manchester abbreviate club names:
Man City 16,140,000,000 (11 digit)
Man Utd 16,750,00,000 (11 digit)

Others:
Barcelona 10,130,000,000 (11 digit)
Real Madrid 8,450,000,00 (10 digit)
Chelsea 6,540,000,000 (10 digit)
Liverpool 4,710,000,000 (10 digit)
Arsenal 462,000,000 (9 digit)
Juventus 209,000,000 ( 9digit)
Tottenham 207,000,000 (9 digit)


Not what this all means but certainly good or bad we are in the conscious of a shit load of people and with our raggy neigbours way ahead of anyone else.
