"What is the best team in the world? “ The best team is Real Madrid . He is the last Champions League champion. If it is for results, it is Madrid. If it is by game it is (Pep) Guardiola's Manchester City .”


We're not really here...
 
Which is better. A bigger club that last won the league title 97 years ago or a smaller club that last won the league title 4 weeks ago?

Which is better. A bigger club that won 4 league titles in 120 years or a smaller club that won 4 league titles in 4 years?

Maybe the smaller club that has a trophy haul that spreads over 120 years…..
 
100% spot on. Fuck me all the time I’ve been on this forum I’ve read your username as mainmanc and have only just realised it’s actually manimanc. Fuck me everyday is a school day even at 50 years of age :)
Ha ha that's tickled me but I've done exactly the same with usernames on here, read it as something different for months then realised it wasn't that at all.
I'm 50 too pal, the old brain works different now. :)

It fucking does mate and god help me tomorrow trying to play cricket :)
 
Still? How can that be when they NEVER WERE bigger than City. Sports journalism in in the gutter... They've no shame, just liars basically.
Very large one club Cities who can pull big numbers for a Wembley game like say Coventry but pre Keegan Newcastle were getting under 10K and even now we average more than them & even in Leeds glory era in the 70s their crowds were very large but no bigger than ours

Which is better? A bigger club that it’s last trophy was the championship promotion and previous to that in 1955 or a smaller club that has won 10 titles, 8 league cups and 4 FA cups since 1955?

Now let me think for one moment ... trophies or global attraction ? Mmmmmnn. Its a difficult one but I think I`ll opt for trophies.

Never seen anything like the media coverage we get. Never in my life! For terrorists never mind a football club that had the audacity to challenge the beloved red shirts that do everything the right way the little angels! Imagine the media coverage if we had feral fans that murdered innocent people!!

Leeds have never had an average gate higher than 40,000 even when their ground held a maximum of 50,000.

They never brought a soul to Maine Road until they were on the brink of winning the league in 1992. I went in 1976 with my old man in the cup and we had nearly a third of Elland Road. Historically it is a rugby league town
 
Apologies if already posted but below is an extract from Barney Rubble’s latest piece in the Guardian. It’s a hell of a leap from City legitimately challenging a potentially unlawful rule amendment in February to being responsible for Neymar’s 220 million transfer fee. The nonsense in the media was doing my head in but not anymore. They really are pushing inaccurate hyperbolic bollocks.

“In reality it is the opposite, a distortion of the market via state subsidies and PR aims that have nothing to do with value or competition, that lead us into such appalling non-market outcomes as Neymar being sold for €220m. The ghost of Milton Friedman says: this is not capitalism. It’s closer to the command economy.”

Is Barney the odd slate short?

Yes
 
Herbert's X account states: "Author of 'Tinseltown', the story of Wrexham FC and Hollywood "
The irony!
His article was on the mail bit you pay for so they trouser a few bob off gullible Leeds, Newcastle and rags. It's ultimate clickbait like talkspurs.

Spot on. I was going to mention Newcastle's gates when they dropped down the league's. Leeds have never had bigger gates than us.
