Rag or not, no player deserves an injury like that and i hope the lad comes through it ok.

Bizarrely, I'm getting trolled on Facebook by seat-sniffing, rags because we had a late ad, trying to shift the last of the tickets for last night.
So, I checked, only Real Madrid had a bigger crowd than City, last night (66,000). What sort of bizarre mentality thinks that 50,000+ is a poor attendance?
I guess seat-sniffing is all they've left. Bless...

Horrific injury. Really wish him a speedy recovery, United or Hartlepool it doesn't really matter. Not nice to see a player injured so badly, especially one who was playing so well aswell. Hope he gets back for the Euros.

Feel bad for Shaw, hopefully he recovers well. It would be terrible to have your career finished at his age.

Gary James the City tour guide!! Was Gary James on the Stretford End in the 70's or 80's? Or the away end at Anfield as darts rained down, or being baton charged by Liverpool supporting coppers. You don't need to take my word or Gary James word for it. Just ask any United fan over the age of 45. This non rivalry nonsense has been created and manufactured to fit into your own narrative, but none of you were actually there, and I don't even know why it's an issue all of a sudden. You want me to say that City have always been the ones that I fought with and hated, but it isn't true.
When I was a kid I could tell you every City fan who lived on my street or in my year at school. It was never violent or ugly. City scouts used to watch us playing matches on fog lane, I even attended the Mark Lillis soccer school in the summer once, and City players used to come to our school and we were always respectful to them. Paul Simpson walked his dog on Heaton Mersey common and Alex Williams lived in that 70's estate behind the Dog and Partridge on Didsbury road. We used to go to functions at the social club at Maine road. City were always part of where we grew up, as were United, but it was always a different type of rivalry. It didn't matter what feats United achieved currently or in the past, there was always a Blue in the corner of pub who would say "stuffy goal that by Cantona. He was trying to cross it...ee's not fit to lace Colin Bells boots."
It wasn't an evil or deeply hateful relationship, it was always good banter. It still survives to this day, sometimes on these pages. Now you can read what you want in a book and believe that, but I know what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears.
Were you at Wembley when fucking rag twats were attacking women and kids and blokes who were trying to protect them....Fucking rag fans are cunts always have been and always will be.... do us all a favour and fuck off with your bollocks.
Been to most grounds where City have played and in the 70s and 80s it kicked off at most grounds and scousers and leeds were vermin but nowhere was as bad as the swamp with all the inbred fuckwits .

Terrible injury for him. The one way i would not want to see them be in the shit is severe injury as that would make me a bit of a nasty sod.
It has happened however and they need to sort it as they have a razor thin squad as it is.
I have been away working and the amount of shite i have listened to about utd is astounding. Coming back i see the news here has give Van Gaal a bit of grief, the vast majority has been about that new kid nobody had heard of being the next Henry. Some outlets seem to have questioned the fee but bloody hell if that was us we would be hounded out the fucking solar system.
Utd as a playing unit seem boring tbh, no blue tinteds here, it is dire football that drains away at the heart of what makes football a good spectator sport. However much the avaerage ticket price is at OT right now it is to much for the dross served up. You can't spend that much cash and be so seemingly limited, they are a million miles behind us for example.
If i was a utd fan i would want to see a spark, a leader, some character not a team of drones which they seem to be right now.
They are picking the points up yes but not convincingly in the main and with nothing to excite the fans. They need to weigh up the pro's and con's of rebuilding in this manner vs the casual fans they will drive away. That said they can lose a fair few casual fans if they do get the full whack paid up from their adidas deal and do stay near the top.
The hardcore will get make noises but ultimately put up with it if they get to hang on to our coat tails.

Isnt Gill supposed to be impartial considering the role he has ?
Manchester City will never be as big as United in Asia and certain markets across the globe.
That’s according to former United chief executive David Gill, who was speaking during an event to celebrate 500 years of Manchester Grammar School.
When asked about the recent rise of City, Gill said: “I’m not being arrogant here but it (Manchester City) will never be as big as Manchester United in Asia and certain markets.
“Look at Liverpool, the club haven’t won the league for so many years, but they are very popular in Asia.
"The big teams with history and heritage, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Real Madrid, have that.”
