Kevin needs all our support for the next few weeks.

Doubtful that he'll be in the squad on Sunday but will be supporting the team from their box and be present for the presentation....IF !!

He needs his name to be sung loud and often !!

When I was at school (long time ago) all the cocky, arrogant kids tended to support United, attracted by their success. There are exceptions of course. Always thought we were more down to earth, happy to laugh at ourselves. Continued success might change that over time which would be a shame.

I have to admit in my experience, having seen the forums of both the Manchester teams ... the United one seems to be more aggressive, with more swearing and more time spent on attacking or mocking players/teams

“At times in that astonishing first period, as City camped in Real’s half with 83 per cent of possession, it felt that the pitch might tip up such was the weight of numbers down one end. It felt a mismatch, a change in dynasties. Real were pinned so deep, they were almost in with their fans. They were comprehensively schooled.”

Out of curiosity .. are, typically speaking, Man United and Man City fans different from each other, personality wise (on average)? From a historical perspective, for example, Inter and Milan fans used to be rather different ... is there a similar thing between City and United fans?

"To support Manchester City is to believe that God might have trouble running things on this planet, but he's in control of the next world. He has to be. The Devil rules this world and always will, because his team are Manchester United, and they are world famous and monolithic.

Manchester City, who's name travels the world about as well as Gracie Fields or Pulp, are on the side of the angels; the poor, sapped, unfortunate angels who still believe in quaint antiquated notions of earthly good. To support Manchester City is to accept with heroic willingness the dead-flat that the universe is cold and hostile, and nothing good will become of it. To support City is to tackle head on the crushing pointlessness of existence and to attempt to make something of it. It is hard work. So why do it? Because somehow this seems ultimately more dignified and fulfilling than taking the easy way out and supporting the lulling and obnoxious United.

To support United is too easy. It's convenience supporting. It makes life too easy. There is no challenge. It is a cowardly form of escapism, a sell-out to the forces of evil. United fans have no soul and will spend their eternity neck deep in boiling vomit. City fans retain their soul and will spend their eternity forever reliving the moment their team beat Newcastle 4-3 away from home to win the League Championship in 1968, beating United into second place. Surely we will have such eternal bliss again, for why do we spend so much time suffering in this life watching our team climb to the summit only so that we can watch them dive, dive, dive to their pitiless bottom of the heap while United, of Manchester, but nothing really to do with it, float every more triumphantly skywards?

Heartless United are the incarnation of shamelessness and to support them is heroism in a can. Cavalier City, however awry their football, however dire their straits, glow with something mystical and transcendental. City have soul. United do not.

When they are great again, City will have shown that they are worth their extraordinary fans. To this day these fans will walk a million miles for one of Joe Mercer's smiles. They'll sing a million songs waiting for some new Mercer-like magic. Because they are City, and Christ do they know they're born."

Poznan was great last night. Took a while because we were all so absorbed but then all of a sudden think we realized what we had achieved on the pitch, just how dominant we were. Amazing.

I was doing the Poznan so didn't see, but someone said even the Tunnel Club were Poznaning.
 
most probably not, but has anyone had an answer as to why the club made a mess with the ticketing. What was to gain by doing it the way they did?
 
My thoughts on the game:

- KDB best big game player itw this season. 2g 4a in UCL KO's now.
- Haaland unlucky not to score. Courtois 2 insane saves to deny him.
- Grealish cooked Carvajal , insane ball retention and created a big chance for Haaland.
- Bernardo 2 great goals to open the score and cooked Camavinga.
- Gundogan good work rate and insane b/w the lines performance.
- Ball circulation masterclass by Rodri.
- Walker didn't let Vini Jr. get past him for the 2nd time in a row. His 1v1 defending was clarse.
- Dias pocketed Benzema again. Tackled him multiple times and stop Madrid from sustaining an attack.
- Sir Johnathan Stones another midfield masterclass. No words needed.
- Akanji pocketed Rodrygo again and scored his first (!) goal for us.
- Ederson great saves from Alaba FK , Benzema and Ceballos.
- Our pressing was incredible. Courtois was forced to hoof the ball many times.
- The counter-pressing was even better. On the rare occasions we lost the ball , we won it back immediately because of the close-proximity of players.
