Just posted this on their Forum
Okay time to clear some stuff up;
1. Scott the 'Red' - Your Forum isn't perfect. Not only is the article lacking in crucial reason, as your are basing it purely on statistics that are not do not tell the full picture. You have omitted (at your own admission) certain statistics, that to be honest suggests you are hiding something from us. If the statistics are available then all should be considered. Also by purely resting your whole article on statistics you have completely ignored extraneous variables (e.g. injuries, suspension etc, If you are going to use statistics to convince people please you all available). May I also point out that you are completely speculating that Tevez will not play much next season, and it appears in the absence of statistics that are not your own you resort to anedotes similar to that of some of your less intelligence posters, which I find incredibly dissapointing, considering you had actually created a well structured statistical point, however I left saddened by your resorting to childish insults such as "wasteland". If you want to gain respect you mustn't rise to the crap people will give you.
2. All United Fans - Now lets just clarify, if you are going to completely criticise Tevez for not scoring enough last season, then take a long hard look at yourself and consider what Owen did last season? Nobody on this Forum has even considered what Tevez did as an 18-20 year old in Argentina and Brazil, yet all of a sudden Owens disastrous spell at Newcastle is almost long forgotten and all that seems to be remembered is his hey day at Liverpool and Madrid. So if we are all to have a debate about Tevez lets talk about his Career and not just one season.
3. Why all the bitterness? - Basically footballs a hard game at the top, no matter who you are. The would be no shame in being sad at Ronaldo leaving, he was clearly a good player, we were all sad to see people like Paul Lake retire because of injury and Marc Viven Foe, and others such as Anelka who didn't really care. But there was no "He didn't score enough" etc....Your fans were clearly asking to "sign him up", he was a good player and I'm sure you would have been happy if he stayed. The point is that this bitterness if pointless, you've signed some players of your own, can't you be excited about them, rather than spending the sunny summer peering into the neighbours garden to see what new toys they have.
4. UNITED 24/7 Fck the Wife - Not only is user name completely and utterly unbelieveable, and I'm afraid that is something that transpires into your post. First of all in a practical sense you wish all our players get swine flu, however I would happily wager that you whinge until the cows come if we got special dispensation because of it. Secondly how can you wish something bad upon somebody and then say "as long as nobody dies!", if your going to go back on yourself, do you not think that you would have been better off just writing something of actual value, rather than combing your bravado and ego.
5. Micky - I know plenty of Army lads, and used to be in myself. I know the stuff you guys have to go through and have been through it myself. I know, and you know there's no need to rise to it, and the point it wanders off football, that's when the world 'stop' comes into play. We all know its about the game, and to those of you that believe otherwise, is no fan of mine, regardless of club.
6. Finally - The rivalry we have between our clubs is a healthy one, and trust me its one I revel in, and football wouldn't be the same without it, and I believe its just about to get a LOT more interesting, but lets not attempt to make it a vicious one. Personally I am looking forward to Tevez returning to OT!
Hope this all made sense, but I felt the need to let you know how I feel, as a City fan, which I am proud and will stay proud to be. I recommend that you all think about doing the same. "City Til I Die"
