Do you really think he can play the refs? I believe he drove the entire group of referees to despair during his second stint at Chelsea to the point where they were brave enough to assume that a player had dived rather than give some obvious free kicks and penalties. This won't change overnight.

it will when people like Scudamore want the Rags in the Champions League, and want them winning trophies to "enhance the brand".

Refs do as they're told ultimately.

Their players singing about us after winning their first pot in three years is fucking priceless and tells me all I need to know about how that shambles of an institution feels as a collective. Absolutely hilarious

I've,missed this. What did they sing?

Edit. It's been answered. Never mind.
 
I'll believe it when it happens. Mou and his people still surely have to meet Woodward to thrash out a deal, and that man is more than capable of absolutely fucking up any situation.

My dad's brother was a blue.

My first ever game, my dad took me to old trafford. It was a UEFA Cup game in 1976 against Ajax. I still remember my dad wore a brown leather jacket. That said, I wasn't that arsed. I can't have been.

My dad had a shop near to town and I used to sometimes go there on a Saturday and his brother used to manage the shop. One day (I'd just turned seven at the time) he asked me if I wanted to go to watch City and I said yes. I clearly remember him lifting me over the turnstile to get in the Main Stand. It was the 18th December 1976.

I don't know why, but to me it felt totally different to old trafford. I guess I felt like I belonged there. It's a bit hard to put into words without sounding a bit wanky, but I felt entirely different when I walked in and saw the crowd. Kidd and Tueart both scored in a 2-0 win. My dads brother bought me a scarf from the souvenir shop after the game and I was hooked.

I've always had a difficult relationship with my dad when it comes to football. Both my other brothers are big united fans and both me and my dad are both hugely competitive. Sometimes the piss taking is utterly relentless. I've never discussed it with him, but I expect it's something he finds a little disappointing in me. My sister once told me when pissed that my support of City has been a constant source of bafflement to him, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Being a City fan is one of the things that defines me most as a person. Being the only blue in the immediate family was difficult at times, especially when they were all going off to Champions League finals together, but I never regretted it for a moment, and where City are now is all the more rewarding for me against that backdrop.

We have a similar situation in my immediate family with my sister, she used to be a City fan, but quote "got fed up with City losing all the time" and started to support the scum. She is a stubborn one my sister and has stuck to her guns throughout the years, even when subjected to merciless piss taking at times and to give her her dues she actually went to games, unlike most of the plastic fuckers. I think it was also the extended family that turned her head, their smug crowing about being better and how much better it was to support the scum but we will never know for sure as she claims it was her own decision these days. This is the same extended family that have since become Stockport fans, before the advent of FCUM and the wearing of Norwich scarves, but deep down are still dirty reds as they turned off the CL final in 99 because they couldnt bare to see them lose and missed all the drama, a source of great amusement to the rest of the family,

I actually asked my old man very recently about my sisters rag ways, his reaction was to just laugh and say she always was awkward your sister, best to just ignore it and know that you've done right by the rest of the family.

Despite all they won, despite all our shitness, I never ever regretted supporting City, it was never difficult for me watching my sister go to CL games and cup finals, even when week after week of coming home form the match to my dad's usual line after yet another defeat, "that football team of yours let me down again". And derby day was torture for my sister, if they won, I would shrug and say so what we are shit its what we expected, but if they didnt win or even lost, the piss take was merciless and went on for weeks, it really was a no win situation and just a relief for her if they won, nothing else. Only in recent times has this trend reversed, no more than this season after the home loss, my sister has taken the piss successfully and keeps bringing it up, she has defaulted to the position of we are shit and we beat you, that served me so well for decades, but I have a warm glow inside, knowing the tables have actually turned.
 
Admittedly Mourinho hasn't been confirmed as United's new Manager yet. but it's just a matter of time.(will edit this)

That aside, for at least the next 3 season's Manchester will be the talk of the Footballing World.

Pep Guardiola V Jose Mourinho, bring it on!
