I was never that bothered by the banner. If anything, I thought it showed that we still mattered to them, giving the lie to their claims at the time that City were so far below them as to never figure in their thoughts.
But what was even more revealing, given that they thought this perfectly acceptable banter, was the reaction when we had a little pop back with the Tevez 'Welcome to Manchester' poster. "[City are] a small club with a small mentality," raged a furious Taggart before confronting Vicky Kloss with a foul-mouthed tirade in the tunnel at Old Trafford.
It confirmed what we'd known all along - they're just bullies. And like most bullies, they love dishing it out but can't take a bit back.
