He was sat behind us in a box last week against Southampton (..... The rags play them next week) Just him and another red twat and no one else in the box. My dad started to give him a bit of grief calling him a miserable barstool. I just ignored him until "stand up for the champions" started around the ground. I turned around and screamed it at him from about 5 foot away for about 2 minutes with my back to the game. I must have looked like a right nutter as only a couple of blues new who he was. but he knew I knew who the twat was ....... He only made eye contact once and then just a rye smirk on his ugly face. He left not long after with about 20 minutes left but I'm sure all the scouting types do that but I would like to think I helped him on his way.

Reading that, if they replaced his name with 'xenophobic piss-can in the bookies', I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team coach has blasted Manchester City's big-spending policy and said they have no long-term strategy.
City's mega-rich Abu Dhabi owners have spent £480million on players in four years, compared to £185m by Manchester United over the same period.
Although City's riches ultimately saw them crowned champions last season, United coach Rene Meulensteen said their transfer policy had “no foundation” and said they will struggle to retain the title.
“City has got a sort of different policy, right?” said Meulensteen. “It's the quick-fix, so to speak.
“I know the owners, I've been in the Middle East myself, I know a little bit the mentality of the Arabs and it's keep on spending, spending, spending until they've got it, right.
“There's no foundation based on a long-term sort of thing. If you look at the squad in general, they are all mid-20s, established players.
“So you've got experience and all this, that and the other, so really that's the way that they wanted to go. They've got hold of that champions [status] now.
“We know as no other club what it is to win the league and then start again. Right, it is hard, it is difficult, the motivation is different, certainly the pressures they have to deal with is different.”
Meulensteen also said City will find it a harder task now they are champions, with other teams desperate to claim their prized scalp.
“They will be looked upon differently,” said Meulensteen in an interview with United fanzine Red News.
“Like I said, you hit a patch where you hit the wrong notes and it can be really difficult, but the most important thing for us is we're not really too bothered about that.
“We look to what we stand for, what we want and I'm sure as long as the manager is in charge we will never move away too far from our principles and values that we stand for.”

Yep players approaching their peak, so we can build a team to challenge for the league.Year in Year out, just like the rags do, Arsenal used to do and Chelsea have done in the past... lets look at the facts, De Gae cost 19 million and Hart cost just 600 grand... Jones cost 19 million and Kompany cost just 6 million.
