As that famous Blue* Groucho Marx once put it, 'Manchester United is a wonderful institution; but who wants to live in an institution?'I think they mean institution in the same context as asylum.
I think the Rag's reset the clock at the start of the PL era, of which they were a major benefactor of the new competition format and financial structure.
Alan Sunderland likes this postExactly this. If I remember rightly they won the first premier league title in 1992 and started on their period of sustained success from there. They were in the right place at the right time when we got wall to wall football coverage for the first time, coupled with global exposure due to sky. This coincided with our worst period in our history when we dropped into the third tier of English football. Before all the sky razzamataz they were just one of a number of top clubs, nothing special.
The twats from Sheffield, a City without any football clubs!Another unprofessional shill fawning over that despicable sporting constipation.The starry eyed, man/child, fanzine article writer that is James Ducker in the Telegraph has just published an article about them and wrote this:
‘Manchester United is a much loved British sporting institution’.
I nearly spat my fruit & fibre all over the kitchen!
Too right -“Sky and Man Utd ruined Football back in 1992” -a Headline you will never read anywhereI think the Rag's reset the clock at the start of the PL era, of which they were a major benefactor of the new competition format and financial structure.
The real question is how did city fans infiltrate the away end and how will we be punished?Small things but the article does actually say coins thrown from the Liverpool section.
No, he just had the keys to all the institutions!Like Jimmy Saville was an ‘institution’.
Or a mental institution.So the rags are a institution like a museum full of memories but no future.

The Swamp?(* I may have made this up.. although Groucho, as Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff in 'Horse Feathers', did once ask 'Where would we be without football?')
