and there’s more where that came from, come see me after next Sunday !
We know Ashley Young is at the bottom of that!!
 
I’ve just got back from Tesco.

I wore my light City jacket, and on the way out, some twerp shouted, "United!"

My response: "Shit!"

"We’ll knock you off your perch." (I wonder where he got that from)

"You’ve made a fucking good start, haven’t you?"

"The money will run out."

"What money?"

"The oil money."

"When?"

"In about ten years."

"We won £210 million in prize money last season."

Silence.

The scary thing is, they live among us.
It's called "care in the community "
 
Living in a rural area of the south-West, there's only a handful of City fans, easily outnumbered by the "other lot". In the local pub on a Saturday night, there's all been the usual ribbing, name calling and insults, but, until now, it has always been just harmless banter.
That banter has now morphed into spite and venom. One guy, with less brain power than a sea-cucumber, was giving me a foam-mouthed rant with the full panoply of oil, 115, sports-washing etc. Even his wife called me scum for following City.
I blame the press for stoking the current level of antipathy. Absolutely no point in trying to arguing back.
When you think back to when Sheik Mansour first took over there was pretty much universal praise and positivity from the media and wider footballing community.."couldn't happen to a nicer club or more loyal set of fans" etc etc, even begrudgingly from some rags.

Then when it became apparent we were going to actually challenge the cartel and the whole FFP agenda came into play that whole narrative completely changed.

It just shows how the UK establishment (in all its forms) can, via the media, brainwash the brain dead masses into thinking and believing whatever they want them to believe.
