I doubt that.
The "Welcome To Manchester" campaign was brilliant, and it really touched a nerve with the rags, and especially the one that mattered most; the pisscan.
It was the best bit of publicity we have ever had, IMHO, and proof that it still hurts can be seen in the pathetic attempts that the rags have used to try to emulate it
That poster was the thing that put a spring in the step of every Blue.
We really started to believe.
It riled him.
Tevez could have gone anywhere, even stayed at the swamp, he chose City - the first major crack in the despotic fuckers by then crumbling empire because his ‘aura’ was seen to be on the wane. He knew deep down he was losing a game changer. His persuasive powers no longer working their foul ways.
He’d used his mind games on Keegan, the Spanish waiter & that fellow twat arsehole whinger.
He managed to pretty much head fuck each and everyone of them at some point or other. Along with the many ‘odd’ referees (ahem) mistakes ;) the rag filths bandwagon rolled on unabashed and largely unquestioned.
He could see the oncoming storm and realised his time was up. If only we hadn’t pretty much imploded 2012/2013 his so called legacy wouldn’t have had the swan song he craved.
Not in my lifetime are the words I will remember of the shitty panted, booze addled old tramp when he drops off the perch he allegedly stole from the dippers. (Oxymoron intended)
That put down was said with venom and pure spite & as I said he could see what was careering down the track from Manchester towards his vermin filled lair in Trafford.
Watch it, drink it in - because you old bastard - not in your lifetime? Yes - the rags will never be on top in this area again during it.
WTFAMu.
CTID.
As you were Blues.
