I honestly can’t remember, did he ever score there?

I remember him getting a Yellow for twatting Renaldo with a two footer.

COME ON CITY

 

[invisibleandalone]

He was great for Aberdeen and great for united. Cannot be disputed, he was a fantastic man manager.
But I’d argue he was bad for football.
The erosion of respect for and at times outright hostility towards referees and match officials, opposing teams and managers, international football, the FA Cup and indeed a friendly local rivalry all have his grubby, bitter, self interested greasy fingerprints all over them.
Panorama exposed the shady financial links between himself, his son, the blackmail of young players and financial kickbacks back to the Ferguson family empire.
His much threatened libel suit never materialised after united’s lawyers told him he was bang to rights.
Instead of being arrested and jailed for extortion the club decided to back his boycott of a media rights holder.
The craven premier league allowed him to do so for a decade.
The craven BBC then gave him an award in exchange for belatedly changing his stance.
He persuaded united’s lawyers to pressure a court of law into inexplicably bringing forward the pre-agreed adjournment of his other son’s sentencing hearing for volleying the mother of his grandchildren’s head around the driveway of Ferguson’s own home, so the full gory details of her ordeal and injuries wouldnt be reported in the media
It is glorious that united’s current troubles stem from the ego, personal avarice and greed of a self-righteous, self-proclaimed so-called socialist who demanded the financial benefits of jism milked form a horse he ‘owned’ as a basic bribe and never paid a penny for.
Don’t forget he took the Glaizer hush money.
So yeah, great for united, horrendous for humanity

Great write up and some fantastic truths that have been thrown in a hole never to be dug up . But I could never call him a great manager . When at Aberdeen the town was dripping in money which dripped into the club from north sea oil . When he took over at the rags he cherry picked any player they wanted . I remember City smashing them 5-1 at Maine Rd and he had spent what was then a fortune on players . It took him 5 years to win the FA cup . Just compare that to how Pep has been slaughtered for not winning the champions league without the benefit of cherry picking . The rags were and still are running the premier league , FA and big are noises in Europe . Any competition they faced mainly came from one club sometimes two , not coming under much pressure in losing their dominant status . They were picking and choosing what referee they had . They had their greasy fingers in every pie .They then illegally started setting up lower level clubs with new owners from the far east ,then supplying the new owners with players and management . It was a big scale racket with footballing authorities turning a blind eye or being involved with them .
I can't be arsed writing any more , only that City came along and fucked it all up for them because our owners had their own ideas and weren't part of the American Mob . The filth have tried to stop us , hence FFP , VAR and European courts .
So I have no respect for bacon face whatsoever .

Yes 2006. Ish. Late equaliser. 1. 1

I really enjoyed Barton's goal. I had a corporate freeby to the swamp with the prawn sandwich brigade. When the goal went in it was like a funeral from the prawn brigade but all the waitresses were celebrating wildly through the window at the back. In those days a lot of the staff at Old Trafford were Blues.

That is as good as I have ever read on here. Well said Blue.

I don't think the rivalry could have been described as friendly since the fifties or early sixties at the latest. The man I blame for fanning the flames of hatred however is not Ferguson but Docherty. He was totally obnoxious and pandered to the worst element of United's support refusing to condemn their excesses at second division grounds where they often outnumbered home supporters. His toleration of hooliganism did not extend to some City fans who beat him up and through him off a train, the hypocritical bastard was demanding long gaol terms for them. He was another who failed to see us as serious rivals and lacked all respect.

I was on that train on the way back from Ipswich and saw the whole incident. It started off amicably but Docherty, who was totally pissed was goading the City fans. He was physically thrown off at Stockport (Edgeley). There used to be a song about it. As I recall the lad who did it was sent down. Anyway I can confirm that Docherty was obnoxious and no doubt the United physio (husband of Mary Brown) would agree.

Indeed, Solskjaer brought the Frenchman back into the starting line-up against City and he duly delivered with a decent performance in the middle of the park.

He pulled the strings in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes enjoying a more attacking role in front of him, and didn't put a foot wrong
