Could any of us even begin to have imagined that comparison a couple of decades ago?

blimey, that's escalated. she said 5 billion this morning.

I will correct accordingly. I did think 9 was a bit much.

I went on the City tour today and the trophies aren't there*, so that might explain why they're free ;)

*the PL trophy was in the shop, and there were paid photos, but not sure if you just ask and take your own. The CL trophy is apparently on tour, and no idea where the FA Cup is.

Gordon Bennett hope it wasn’t nicked by the same thieves that ran off with the blue carpet many many years ago. We’ve outgrown our trophy room that’s for sure!

What they going to sing at ours now we've took their only song away?

WWYWYWS

They got away with the blue carpet, but the police said they hadn't taken any cups as they didn’t get as far as the canteen.

Oh dear :)

 

[Norman kneejerk]

Oh dear :)

I seem to keep reading about so many of our players who have just suffered poor seasons too. Hopefully they can achieve a bit more this season ...

More "bad faith" reporting from this so-called local newspaper which nowadays sells 11,000 printed copies a day in an urban area with a population of more than 3 million. Meanwhile most of its website traffic is from overseas United fans. This business should be making hay with a treble-winning football team and Erling Haaland on its patch but instead chooses to be negative. Just commercial suicide.

Thank you. As someone that was born in 1981, I dislike the notion that it’s nearly 50 years ago.

I, and many other FOC’s will tell you how quick the years go after 40, don’t know how it happens but life flashes by. We had a conversation a few weeks ago, 9/11 was nearly 22 years ago and feels like yesterday. Add that to your age now, you’ll be the same age as I am now! :-)

That is what I find very strange. Their colours are firmly pinned to the mast and the colours are Rag.
City fans have just announced they are boycotting Wembley and yet today it is sold out. The demand is off the scale. Our pre season friendlies are also sold out. Whoever owns Reach Plc must be absolutely clueless about business.

Wishful thinking by the MEN once again. Still over 6 weeks to go before the window closes.

Fat Wanker Cross did a piece in the Star today of a similar narrative, could have sworn United failed FFP recently, although I haven't seen much in the press about it.Might as well be Celtic !
