From them stopping us winning the cup, to the Cantona kick, to having to put up with glory hunting fans who know nothing about football all my life, going on about MANU when they have never been to Old Trafford. Very few things in football would I rather see than United fall. By very few I mean less than 5.prestonibbo_mcfc said:supercrystal7 said:I know people don't agree with me, but I personally rate De Gea, Rafael and Jones. Jones a bit of a liability at the moment, but has a lot of potential. Smalling and Evans certainly have decent potential and Vidic cannot have lost it in half a season.
It should put pressure on him, because he has inherited the current champions and had 70 million spent improving them.
I know as City fans we are prone to over exaggerate, but this United side is shite. Smalling, ffs, he's all arms and legs and
little football nous. As for Vidic, he can't lose what he's never had. ever since he came back from injury. Great defender before,
but injury came at the wrong time for him age wise. IMO.
I'm sure you think you're Adrian Durham and come on here to play devils advocate. Or is it, I know I'm bored, i'll
go and tease the City lads on the United thread.
I like City and this is a great board for talking about football. In fact I hardly post about United. I post a lot more about the Bundesliga or other teams.
The problem is too many people here are blinded by their hatred of United and vastly underrate their players. This only hurts when they come back to win stuff. I hate Arsenal almost as much and was enjoying their downfall, but when they signed Ozil I said everything had changed and they would now be a force again. Bad teams don't win the Premiership. I verge on pessimism and for me it's better to accept the inevitable.

Man Utd have chance of winning Premier League - Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson still believes Manchester United have a chance of retaining their Premier League title.
The Old Trafford club lie seventh in the table, 14 points adrift of leaders Arsenal with 16 games remaining.
But Ferguson, who stepped down as United manager last May, insisted the league champions are still in the hunt.
Such a shame, senility does often occur quite quickly when all hope is gone.
