Tick tick tick. Hear is the late kick off result. Utd 2 Swansea 3.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

How the hell can 2 £250,000 per week leadswingers get away with it.It's an insult to those daft enough to pay to watch them,or not as the case is.

I think it's time to make the point that I haven't ever had in my whole life a week in which I have enjoyed reading and hearing about United as much as the last 7 days.

The schadenfreude is satisfying, I must admit.
Only relegation, a winding-up order from the receivers, or an al-Qaeda attack at half time when they play Chelsea could cap the current circus of woes.

FFS, mate. I couldn't stand TWO United periods of solace each year for the rest of my life.

For me it's the true fans from ireland and torquay and Birmingham and London who ring the phone ins, never go but always watch it on tv and start slagging everyone off from the tea lady to the ref and go on one. But to be fair we have had a few of Salfords finest ring up and generally ridicule moyes for just about everything. I'm still listening to stuff on catch up, absolutely priceless it is.

True comedy gold mate - Talkspite after the Sunderland game was fucking hysterical - Playing GGMU over commentary of the black cats goals, then the phone-in, and it just got better.
First up some cockney rag - Cundy - 'well, were you at the game?'
'No, but I watched it on Sky'.
Next some daft plastic Paddy from Dublin - Cundy - 'well, what did you think of the match?'
'I didn't actually see it - I forgot it was on, but I think United were unlucky!'
I nearly fell off the fucking settee laughing.

LOL, from the caf:

If you're plastic and you know it clap your hands...

Unbelievable Jeff (quote from sad cafe):

I think realistically we'll be a laughing stock by the time I have kids of school age so I'll probably get them City shirts so they don't have to go through the embarrassment of being a United fan.

Can you IMAGINE in you wildest dreams ever doing that? I can't promise I'd go every week, but I'd still be a blue if we were relegated to the bloody conference. I don't have any choice in the matter, it's part of who I am.

First time ever that I am looking forward to them kicking off tonight. Comedy act prior to the real show on Sunday

Rooney out as well, does the streak push to 4?

No. If I was a betting man (which I'm not), I would put my mortgage on a penalty for them today, or a Swansea red card. Moyes' rants will bear fruit today.

-- Sat Jan 11, 2014 9:12 am --

For my entire school life the "followers" of these ***** 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 *****, 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 ***** 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 ***** 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 ".

Good post, proving yourself to be the bigger man. However, for me, I just can't let them get away with it. Every opportunity I get, those fuckers will be getting it.

Being a blue in exile living down south having stayed loyal through the misery of being hammered by chelsea, Charlton et all and having the piss extracted relentlessly by thousands of southern based rags wandering around with rag shirts on, the utter joy at seeing so few shirts out is heaven. I never thought having been at the etihad on the wonderful day things could get better having snatched the prem away in the most dramatic way possible but seeing the filth implode is exquisite...hopefully it continues for years to come. Difficult to decide if I want Sunderland to beat them in semi and deny them a trip out for the southern rags or for us to kick the sh**out of email in final.

I'm enjoying the agonies they are suffering over whether they should take the risk of backing Gollum with hard cash and hoping he can turn them round or having to admit defeat and sack him after less than one season. The rags at work are split 50-50 on the subject, its great fun listening to them bickering whilst we City fans just sit there with pitying smiles on our faces.
