Strange how it only affects Liverpool and rags.

Annoys me that, it’s the fucking same for everybody. They love their excuses don’t they.

He adopted it when we had first been taken over, and our PR department was quite aggressive. The Tevez poster in particular riled him, not least because he was smart enough to know we were coming after them. He had a go at Vicky Kloss in the tunnel around the same time about something. I can’t remember what.

I loved that noisy neighbour tag, it proved we had really got to them/him. I use it now in reference to them, but the reaction is completely different to the one we gave when we had it off them. A bitter bunch they are now.
Bit poor it's still being used now though in the media, some 10,11,12 years later.

It doesn't affect us because we never had any fans in the first place - didn't you get the memo? The team probably hasn't even noticed there was a pandemic happening.

Is that our Sheikh Mansour? I assume it’s a a different member of the family.

Well after they played last night its now full steam ahead for the derby. So what are we going for? One of our players is unhappy (and if so which one)? A story from about 10 years ago that shows us in a bad light? Perhaps a bit of sportswashing? Going to be lots of fun this week I'll bet.

[Chris in London]

Very similar to ours before the takeover if we are honest. And when they were the best team in England they had a City-like tendency to blow the big occasions - like European cup finals-

The victims of a dishonest referee, you mean?

I see what you mean about being like us...
