So, has the league been cancelled now?

They've never forgotten that Welcome to Manchester poster......




It hurt them and hurts them still, but for different reasons, because the changes it heralded have come to pass.

Our poster had a marvellous, funny, fuck you effect, that resonated beyond Manchester, because it was a harbinger of things to come, that the future was sky blue, and the smarter rags like Ferguson were stung by it, because they could see where this was headed, they knew City were coming, not just for Tevez, but for them.

The rags poster, it's overblown size, its site, the choice of player, its pathetic mimicry, its desperate plea for "authenticity" is an admission of their defeat, an affirmation they're yesterdays men, an attempt to claw something back that they've lost, our city, that they've never had, and their predominance that they're not getting back.

Their poster stinks of desperation, a pale imitation that harks back to a time when they had the whip hand, a marketing faux pas, pathetic in its vacuous claim to a home they've never given a shit about and all the more ludicrous because of where they actually are, both in location and pecking order.

A work of genius!

The rags?

They can fuck off back to London, this City is ours.

And everyone knows it.

Brilliant post, mate.

As you say, the Tévez poster was a stroke of genius. It hurt the rags and it gave us worldwide publicity; something that we craved as the transformation of our club started.

However, as I said recently, the biggest and best consequence of it was unwittingly given to us by the Govan tyrant himself, with his "noisy neighbours" comment. It gave us an identity that had previously been missing and brought us into the consciousness of many more people around the globe than those at the top of the club could have dreamt of so soon into the project.

For that, we must be eternally thankful to the pisscan.

It’s only 1 game. Can we at least wait until September before the bed wetters come out? ;)

The scum have a decent team. Unfortunately for them so do the chavs, City and the Scousers. 10 years domination…we have nothing to fear. Pep and the team will rise to the challenge.

Fuck the scum.

Wasn’t we in 10th last November? And won the league by 12 points in the end?

Sounds plausible;)

They definitely will. They’re our biggest title rivals again for me.

I think Chelsea will be.

Tuchel is a negative bastard, but he has some excellent attacking talent at his disposal.

If they think the future might be red, they should look at how their under 18s did today - proper shite ;-)

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Thought they looked good today. They are definitely a threat this season. Think they’ll just fall short, but it might be tight.

Hahaha, their official twitter is at it, embarrassing, they never fucking learn.

Congrats on their 2nd title in a row I guess.
