When was the last time anyone won there? They have everyone on their side, the crowd, the OFFICIALS, the luck. Only Barca and Real Madrid would do them at the swamp.
We all know this.
If you believe this why dont you pay off these officials with big bribe money instead of buying players?
Its hard to beat us because we are a solid team. city have the best chance they have had in years but its going to be extremly difficult for you.
Because I'm not saying you bribe them I'm saying your manager is a master at applying pressure on them to give you the big decisions. You don't think he uses his influence?
And yes you are a good team, as the ECI rankings clearly show, but we are getting closer to you each season.
There is no doubt in my mind that Clattenburg has a bias against City and in favour of United. That's not having a go at United or being a conspiracy theorist, it's borne out by his decisions on the field. There's probably refs that are biased the other way hence Ferguson's bitter complaints about some refs..
If Clattenburg doesn't influence the game with a "controversial" decision or two in United's favour we will have to count ourselves fortunate.

At the beginning of the season, we went 2-0 up and lost 3-2, at a neutral ground.
Sunday we're at their place. I'm not confident at all. I, for one, am shitting it.
That said, a win to take us 5 points clear of them would be awesome.

Clattenburg turns it to their advantage, until he was announced we were favourites to win in my mind.
That said - I know we lost the CS but i would hope that our resident genius will have worked out their game, which is all about pace and building a head of steam. Cut their supply lines to jacko and shrek and we will storm it, ref permitting.

The quality of squad you can field is the same as anyone else who has sepnt £500million on players, its not an achievement and its not even seen as "arnt city great" give aston villa the same amount and im sure after 2 years they would have a good sqaud, in fact for the moeny you've spent you should have a lot better players IMO.
And nobody will be "fearing" city or any other team for that matter jsut as you lot dont fear united.
This naiveity is so amusing. Deep down all your fans are absolutely shit scared of us and they all know we are going to beat them, if not they really are thick deluded rags.

And of course Utd's success is nothing to do with spending! In fact it took a lot longer than 2 years to become a decent side despite being the highest spenders by far in the top division.
