Nobody's disputing that Marvin....the point is that if you sing about empty seats to an opposing set of fans, then you better be damn sure your ground doesn't have any, especially when you claim to have 600 million supporters!

Exactly. We know they have more fans than us and invariably bigger crowds as a result - it's the lack of self-awareness when going on about empty seats that is so laughable. What's even more ironic is that the ones usually banging on about it are armchair fans. You really couldn't make it up.
 
Your rancid club on the other hand was responsible for evicting the widows and orphans of the Munich disaster, and it says a lot about the type of person you are that you dismissed them as "wags". Proof that you're every bit as scummy as your fucking club.

It's funny that City fans accuse United fans of droning on about the Munich Air disaster, yet you guys post about it 20 times a day!

WAGS in an abbreviation of wives and girlfriends. The Busby Babes were young boys, so Duncan Edwards, Eddie Coleman, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor and Billy Whelan weren't married. So including their girlfriends only gives gravity to your repetitive tale. Although, the context of those times is gleefully avoided by many on here.

There was nothing unique about the harsh way that the Munich survivors were treated. This was a time of austerity in professional football, when players received an absurdly low maximum wage (little above skilled manual earnings) and had their contract terms dictated by the clubs.

Furthermore, in wider society, there was no compensation culture, no requirement to parade emotions in public. After two world wars, the victims of trauma were expected to show resilience, not indulge in blaming others.

It is ridiculous to impose modern values and the riches of the Premiership era on the late Fifties.

So they did what exactly for the families in the 60,s 70,s 80,s 90,,s then ? Or did it take harry Gregg to have a go at Charlton and cantona to fill his pockets for something to happen ?

Do you not think though that there is a slight difference in the way that the fifties footballers were treated and the the "could not care less" attitude to plane crash survivors? Some of whom were never to play again. There again if you think that it was because of the times, you my friend are delusional.
