There is no rivalry between United and Liverpool. When they’re due to play each other I get sick of hearing about how massive both clubs are and how much history they both have, they couldn’t be further up each other’s arse. It’s all engineered shite, they are two cheeks of the same arse, but if telling anyone that will listen that their games against each other are their biggest, makes them feel better then leave them to it.
Their new Chelsea\Norwich\rag supporting investor owns French club Nice. They are second place in the league at the moment and apparently they would displace the rags in the cl if they finished in a higher league position. Now that would be funny.Just reading about the rags facing financial ruin if they don’t get top 4 this season. Could a points deduction for us get them in the back door? Hmmmm. Or am I just bein paranoid? Heads up my arse with all this bollocks at the minute!
Funny how some people don't care about us that much they have to tell everyone they don't care.Makes me laugh when some glory hunting rag from Devon tells me they hate Liverpool and don't care about city as if it makes them a top red. When I grew up at school you were either City or united and the United fans certainly didn't care about Liverpool because they'd never met one.
It would be commercial suicide on the part of the PL to do that. Go to Asia, see what shirts the 'new fans' are wearing. You'll see a ton of Man City shirts. There isn't as much of the historical legacy of Liverpool/United etc as people who are new to the game and live overseas will often support the team that is best at that time, they don't have a local reason to do it or a family tradition. That's why Man City may not ever get the same fanbase in the UK as someone like Liverpool or Man Utd but they sure as heck can get it in the big export markets in Asia, North America and so on and that is where the big bucks are. So I think the PL needs to tread carefully here - if it kills one of its major assets (imagine they relegate City, Pep would leave also so they no longer have the best side and they no longer have the best manager in the PL) then who is to stop these lucrative commercial markets paying to watch LaLiga instead and buy a Real Madrid shirt, maybe Haaland goes there as he doesn't want to play in the Championship.Whilst I agree with your point, you have to consider the influence of United and Liverpool who either have their own former staff in the Premier League, UEFA or in the case of the Premier League can sanction senior appointments. They’re also effectively holding a Super League gun at the Premier League head. It’s almost like a “if it’s not my train set I’ll break it” attitude. Common sense goes out of the window. They honestly believe the footballing world want to see United v Bayern or Liverpool v Barcelona every week. Maybe they’re right but that’s when I take up fishing.
More like a twilight zone than time zone.They claim to be from a different land to the rest of England so possibly from a different time zone too.
And that will be as nothing compared to when the decision drops, whichever way it goes….So I wonder how many pages we will get too before this is all ironed out? I say at least 8,000
4th might not be enough for them if Nice finish 3rd (or above) allegedly, due to Ineos ownership of both clubs….Just reading about the rags facing financial ruin if they don’t get top 4 this season.

My nieces husband a rag has trained his three year old daughter to shout DIRTY SCOUSERS whenever Liverpool is mentioned. He just has a world weary acceptance of Citys current dominance.

We were the same in North Stand. Amble in after about 20 mins, amble back out after 35. Then be in Parkside for 4:30.I didn’t even realise that was the game he ripped his season ticket up. That period was a blur, so often we used to go the kippax bar at half time, load up & not go back 2nd half.
