It was the Northwest based PL teams ManUre, Red & Blue Dippers, & Blackburn who complained, as City were hoovering up all the best local young talent, enabling us to splatter opposition teams by ridiculous scorelines. They threatened to boycott matches against City in protest, but IIRC little came of it bar bellyaching to the media.It was seriously true at the time, though last time i looked it didnt exist...
Wenger & fergie twinned financial doping into st. Bede's...if i recall right a youth tem had recently bounced utd and sunderland ( one of em 9-0 or 9-1 with half a dozen in the other/ vicky verky)
The quote from the murderers was ' you wont get away with that' or something to that effect

Manchester clubs at loggerheads over City's youth recruitment drive
Coaches at Manchester United considered boycotting youth level matches against Manchester City, as their relationship with their neighbours sours.www.dailymail.co.uk
A snippet ^....the interview i seen wenger was frothing at the mouth...must have been a good drink in it for him...whisky called it cheating in that ' he could of killed him manner...
I remember the story well but I can honestly say that I can never recall Wenger having anything to do with it. As @Dribble just said, it was the NW-based teams who were moaning about it.It was seriously true at the time, though last time i looked it didnt exist...

He loves his job, Fletch. He really does.Quite enjoy Mccoist. Makes a change to listen to someone who actually sounds like he enjoys his job and tries to focus on the positives in games where he can
ArseAnal & Spuds had similar issues with Chelsea in the London region, which is where Wenger came into it.I remember the story well but I can honestly say that I can never recall Wenger having anything to do with it. As @Dribble just said, it was the NW-based teams who were moaning about it.
Honestly wouldn’t have been able to tell what my post count was within a 20k margin of error but fuck me, I need to get out more.Did you just write that to get your 88,888 post count ? ;)
I can’t even watch him.If keys is playing at being a **** he deserves a damn oscar
What, he's not bald and ugly in the US?Mcoist is like Drury, when you only used to here them now & again, they seemed a breath of fresh air. Now we hear them every week following their paymasters line, you realise they're no better. Listening to Lee Dixon on US Network is completely different to when he's commentating on ITV.

Dunno about Liverpool & Blackburn, but ManUre & Everton definitely had similar private school arrangements with their kids. However, it was also the revolutionary high tech CFA & the social education side City offered that wowed most parents, hence ManUre being seriously pissed that the children of many of their players went to City.
It wasn't them, Chelsea did it
There seems real genuine respect and enthusiasm from both sides, Wenger and all the City players and Pep. Great to see...It's nothing new with him. He's been blowing smoke up our arse for years. Is that a City coat he's wearing 40 seconds in? ;)

Does Lee not hate us in America then?Mcoist is like Drury, when you only used to here them now & again, they seemed a breath of fresh air.

Does Lee not hate us in America then?
To me it always seems like Micah likes us but is shilling for the money big time. Lee on the other hand genuinely seems to dislike us more every time I see him.Dixon is just like Richards, shilling for the money.
I prefer to watch City matches on Portuguese channels with the sound muted ... Just to be sureI think they all have to tow the line when City are playing.
But neville.
Owen.
Mcmanatwat.
Carragher.
Struridge.
Rooney.
No ta .
Foreign channel straight away.
Never watch sly or tnt.
Sometimes I watch on Portuguese channel in Portuguese anything but any of those scouse or rag twats

‘He should do better there the big fella, I’ll tell you that for free’He loves his job, Fletch. He really does.
He made a great run there, he really did.
They want to be getting out on this right wing, they really do.
McCoist!
