It just gets worse for Davey (if it's true)...

Manchester United fear Robin van Persie could be on the sidelines for a further six weeks with a repeat of a thigh injury he suffered at Arsenal.

That signing is looking like an increasingly good bit of business for City.

i thought it was a genuine article until i came across this, the WUM

That's when I realised it was a powder-puff article from the rag PR team. He actually thinks they're both shit is what I was told.

It is indeed direct from RAG-PRAVDA via a pet 'embedded' journalsit... it's actually quite well-constructed ...

the Aikido style use of opposition force in the first half of the article then swings its energy through the arc of camel-gob's (aged) moanings... to the sunlit new uplands of the new centre half pairing... showing a new example to all young Soviets.... (hurrah !!)..

The generals Shrekov and van Pursov are not defecting , they're just resting and van Pursov so honours the new leader that he has offered his whole salary for the time he is injured to the Swamp Youth Acandemy , from which he himself came.

We are then told that the new President and his Polit bureau have identified 'revisionist factions' within and that they will be 'dealt with'.....


......All hail to the Great New Leader , Gollum the Pale. and the next Great Dive (... errr.. sorry) 'Leap' Forward.... !!!!

how ironic that the Swamp has co-opted a journalist from the Soviet-hating Daily Fail to be their mouthpiece

All at 36 Acacia Avenue salute you!

For my entire school life the "followers" of these cunts took the piss, going to a greater Manchester primary school out in the sticks, I was the only City fan in a class of 30, 29 being rags.

My dad recalls, and still mentions it to this day, me approaching him as a very young nipper asking "dad why do we support City?"... he said " what do you mean?".... I said "well everybody else at school supports Utd". He goes on to say "what everyone???".... I said " yeah everyone but me".

This was the mid 90's and he was taken aback by the fact I was the only blue in a class of 30, yet being a 30 min drive from Manchester's centre. I remember going to school after County had beat us and getting the piss ripped out of me, I was Jimmy Grimble essentially. I got to secondary after this and there was a small group of us blues who stuck together, derby defeat after defeat, after defeat, after defeat, we still wore our City shirts under the school uniform the next day to reveal them at lunch time footy. We didn't give a shit, City were a cult and Utd were the establishment, the cunts, the team every sheep supported. We were the rebels, the team that always lost and fucked things up.

The more Utd won, the more me and my pals backed City, it literally was a cult, a big fuck off to the cunts taking the easy ride. Don't get me wrong some of my best mates were Utd fans, they tried to sway me "just support Utd mate, come on, its easier" and I swear to god that was verbatim. I never gave in despite our shite. The difference was that I went to City at the very least, every home game. Those red cunts never went, they used to go mental because they got to watch it on tele, meanwhile I was being escorted every other weekend down to the Platt Lane by my dad. A man whose passion hasn't changed now, since the 1970's and throughout the shite.

Even now, whilst we're so much better than them, drilling everyone at home, being 10 points clear, expanding our stadium, building the biggest academy in the world. I cannot bring myself to take the piss, I never want to be like them, I've taken more flack than any follower of another club in English football but yet I cannot bring myself to stoop to their level, I think we're better than that. I feel uneasy seriously ripping anyone else, even them.

I remember being sat there in the second half of the 06/07 season having not scored at home for a succession of games, everyone was fucking fed up, it was the worst football City had played in decades and the stadium was growing quieter by the second because of the complete and utter disillusion, yet I remember sitting there thinking "I'd rather be like this than be like them ".

I think my lad is a similar age to you(21) His experience at school was similar. When I started primary school it was roughly 48% blue and 48% rag with a smattering of Liverpool and other clubs. My lad was one of two City fans in his class. We lost generations of fans in the 80s/90s and even in the first part of the new century. I think we still have one of the oldest fan demographics in the Prem.
For the first time since I can remember, I'm seeing kids in City shirts, not just in Manchester either. I'm in south Yorkshire these days and I see kids wearing blue nearly every day. The best thing about Mansour buying the club isn't the players he's bought, the academy he's building or the trophies we've won and are continuing to challenge for. It's guaranteeing that when the current generation of supporters start to die off, there will be a new and growing generation taking their place.
Our fanbase was starting to wither and he came in at just the right time.
