Great read...
Sadly, with City so clinical, they were like the moles in that game played by children at the fairground; every time a head poked out of a hole, someone hit it with a hammer.

loving this.

Look at the ratings they gave the teams, absolutely laughable

I was going to start a thread roughly on the same lines but ask fans of foreign clubs what any reaction is to our progress, our results this season, particularly v Spurs and United and what the consensus is about us amongst fans across Europe.

Can be anyone from old Europa opponents such as Juve, Poznan, Aris, Kyiv or our CL opponents or fans from Barca, Real, would just like your thoughts, no Phil, 12 years old from Reading who supports Chelsea but when they lose is Barca/AC Milan/Bayern Munich fan, I mean proper fans, what are your's and your fellow fans thoughts?

and if you say we bought it, well so have you over the years, so :P.

Ferguson giving the senior players the hairdryer treatment:

"Sportsmail understands the United manager called his stars ‘f****** idiots’ in a rant that was followed by an instruction that senior players should report for training to pick over what went wrong. "

Them ratings in the mail for the rags are shocking. If we consider 5 as an average performance, how do most of them get above average marks? They're all at it though. Look at SSN the following day. Breaking news, headlines, little pea signs 5 year deal!!!!!! Talkshite, "are City's victories hollow and unfair"?

They were 3-0 down at half time at WHL and then won 5-3.
