Funny stats to upset United fans

You have to go back to August 2003 to cover a time period over which the rags have won more trophies than us, back to when they won the Community Shield in ‘03

From September 2003 until present day, both City and the rags have 22 trophies:

City____________________Rags
7_____Premier Leagues_____6
1____Champions Leagues___1
1_____Club World Cups_____1
1_____UEFA Super Cups_____0
3_________FA Cups________2
6_______League Cups______5
3____Community Shields____6
0____Thursday Night Cups___1

And our 22 trophies in that time are far more impressive, relying less on Community Shields and Thursday Cups.

That’s my lads lifetime, cracking ammunition
 
It's not funny but most plastic rags dont understand that rags as manchester utd have never been based in Manchester.

Can remember talking to someone from Oldham who was a rag. She was adamant that rags are in Manchester, so I said Oldham is in Manchester than. She wouldnt have that lol no Oldham is in Greater Manchester not Manchester. I said like the rags lol no no no utd are in Manchester.

I am a newbie on this forum, I joined to promote a particular issue but this thread made me laugh. May have been mentioned previously but Ferguson's first match was a 2-0 defeat to the mighty Oxford at the Manor Ground.There was a picture in our local paper the Oxford Mail, of Ferguson, an assistant, sub, and the coach driver on a very small wooden bench in the dugout We had a few other notable victories against your rivals across the city,

I’ve seen that photo get discussed on TV before. Can’t remember by whom. But Ferguson apparently turns to whoever his first assistant manager was and says…

Who the fuck’s this guy sat next to me?

He’s the coach driver.

What the fuck is he doing on the bench?

He always sits there.

Well he doesn’t anymore, tell him to fuck off.

Oh he's not stupid, he knows exactly what he's done, almost feels as though he knew the United collapse was coming. Suppose it works for him though knowing that no matter who they bring in no one will upstage him there.

I was referring to the Rock of Gibraltar dispute within which he was unquestionably stupid.

You’ve got to choose your battles - and he chose one against two highly resourced, streetwise operators and decided to fight them on their own territory. Add into the mix the power they held over his working life, some of his highly questionable transfer dealings around that time, their manifest ruthlessness (and thereby willingness to exploit those questionable dealings to their own ends) and what was at stake, his decision to even consider embarking upon litigation of that horse, when the claim appeared to be without merit, was utterly stupid. Upon first blush, in my view the advice he presumably sought on this could have been professionally negligent, even if those advising him didn’t factor in the 99 questions.

It was complete insanity and unleashed a chain of events which must haunt him every time he watches or considers the state that club are now in - I don’t personally buy into him loving the current state of things, as history will now judge him far more poorly - and he will be aware of this.

So, I‘m not saying he’s stupid, just that what he did in relation to that horse, unquestionably was.

Stupid, greedy and mad. And absolutely fucking brilliant.
