Lol! It's started.

Only in Brazil?

Next it will be.

I've always been a United fan. I've always wanted to play for United. United are the biggest club in the world and in Brazil. Marcus can help me feed the United fans in the favelas across Brazil.

Not reading it but did they talk about Littlewoods money and the rags outspending everyone after floating on the stockmarket

That’s not entirely true mate. They outspent everyone be before they floated ;)

Can’t remember if it was 1988 or 1989 where they spent £7.5m on players when their turnover was £9.5m

79% of turnover, so the equivalent of us spending £506m this summer

Theirs however, was all done with money earned organically thro (lack of) success & it definitely wasn’t a gamble using any sort of borrowings to help them become the behemoth the became in the 90s

They 100% did not do very similar to us by investing a shit load of money which hadn’t directly come from the club just prior to their period of success

(Just like Liverpool didn’t do similar whilst in division 2 in the 60s, or Blackburn with Jack Walker, or Arsenal in the 30s)

Pretty sure all the above is true, but the way the media is, doesn’t really matter if it’s true or not, just need to keep on repeating it :)

Cheers bud, that must be the one, for all these years I remembered it as 3-2. I was 13.

No problem. We all have false memories about something or other.
You must have a history thingy, Click on "home" instead of blue Moon Forum when you switch on

How refreshing to hear Mark McAdam praise City as the model for FFP and how to do transfer business the right way whilst making 91 million pounds after all of our deals were completed. That's him not working on Sky again. Every panelist listened in stunned silence.

It's easy for anyone.

We never beat WW 3-2 in the League Cup.

You're avin' a larf, entcha?

This reminds me of the Monty Python communist leaders sketch.
A similar question was asked at 55 seconds.
The irony is that Coventry did win the FA cup a few years later.
