I had one on the hook today, when he found out i was a City fan, he said I bet I hadnt been one that long, so I went along, not that long I told him, for about 7.5 years now, I liked Robinho so started following us when he signed and when we won the league I decided they were my team. I thought he was going to explode, I was everything that was wrong with football apparently, how a man of my age (41) could be so shallow blah blah blah, all this coming from a rag with a Brummie accent who had followed them since Ron Atkinson was at the club. I then inquired if he had been to many united games, as I struggled to get a ticket for City. He had been to old toilet a few times but getting tickets was a struggle and started on the Emptyhad gags. I told him I couldnt get tickets for league games as they were all sold out, he wasnt having it, I was a no nowt as well now, he was ranting, red faced and fuming, I just let him go on and on for a while, he then said I would be an Arsenal fan at the end of the season most likely. At this point I couldnt hold out any longer, with a big grin, I told him not only was my first City game in 81 and my first season ticket was in 91, but i had been to old toilet more times than him and that a rag with Brummie accent telling me I was what was wrong with modern football was ironic to say the least, that getting tickets for them was a lot easier than he had made out as my sister got them regularly throughout the 90s and 00s but I didnt blame him for not going as I wouldnt want to watch that shower. My parting words were that he can enjoy Thursday nights whilst I will bask in the Champions league and that as we wait for Pep to rock up he can look forward to family man taking over. I left him looking totally distraught, the rag ****.

All too easy, but it kept me amused for a few minutes.

Excellent work PLLK, you should have shat in his lunchbox too.
 
Had a woman come running into the unit the other day...
" Have you got a toilet for my lad "
" No problem love, in there"
The lad came in with a utd top on.
" Excuse me love, he cant come in here..."
" Oh, why's that"
" It's his shirt, he cant come in here with that on"
" Oh dont worry about that, he knows nothing about football"
" I understand love......"
 
how desperate are the MEN...they've done a 'piece' in todays comic about Gary Thompson aka 'Coco' who was in effect...a football hooligan,bet they don't do a 'piece' on Daft Donald when he pops his cloggs........

In Economics this is called 'The Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns'.

I love a bit of economic theory applied to Football. Spot on with diminishing returns and investment in Football. 4th place and CL football is probably the optimum return!

Back when the Glaziers took over the rags I posted on the MEN site a concise but well rounded description of how private equity firms profit from leveraged buyout’s at the expense of the firm itself.
The MEN took it down.

Viewed in such simple terms it really shouldn't come as much of a shock that someone like Pep Guardiola saw the opportunity available to him at Manchester City as being hugely appealing, far more so than whatever opportunity Manchester United felt they could offer him.

Stonking post Matty. Simply outstanding riposte & unanswerable. As I tweeted the other night, Pep wants to make history not read about it.

Agreed, Pep wants to challenge at the top - he is not a 'turnaround guy'. Anyone with any impartiallity and knowledge inside the game would look at United as a problem that needs fixing. Elite managers don't take those jobs. Try Big Sam or Tony Pullis!
 
Ferguson: Can City be top dogs? 'Not in my lifetime'
He is still alive isn't he?

A comment from a United fan on SkySports.com


Headline - "How Manchester City persuaded Pep Guardiola to join them"

Am I right to assume this article does not even mention the fact that he will be making £30 million out of this move.



I do believe that might have been a slight incentive.....



I am a United fan and I am saddened by what the premier league has turned into, what my club is becoming, and what the future holds for English football. For one our national team will forever suffer whilst astronomical amounts of money get thrown around like they are being. Who was the last world class player that any of the supposed big 4 brought through their ranks to play for England? And I mean world class!



I was in awe during the Rugby World Cup, a sport I have always held reservations about. The passion on the faces of fans, players, coaches. Its an honour for them to step onto the pitch and an honour as a viewer to be treated to such passion. The Bundesliga and La Liga are worried that the Premier league is pulling away from them but I wouldn't be concerned as a fan. At least they can pay £20 to watch a game.



Those days are long gone in English football. Something needs to change. The game isn't quite so beautiful once flooded with money.

Haha love how all United fans have suddenly become Rugby fans, shown what a bunch of glory hunting farcical cunts the majority of them have been for the last 20 years!
