It's so funny watching utd fight it out for second place. Guaranteed there will be a few of their fans still thinking they can win the league, frantically working out our fixtures against theirs and believing that we'll slip up in the next few games.
I might cancel washing my hair tonight and tune into their match with the world's most massive grin plastered on my fat blue face.

His last paragraph has got the magic words ‘never’ and ‘always’; a sure signpost for a fool whose knowledge of his club’s history is in inverse proportion to the frequency in which he talks about the subject.
Before WW2,City were a bigger club than united. Then they weren’t. Things can change. It’s why Preston haven't won the league every season since 1888. In his tiny mind, the possible, is impossible. Football, frozen in time; a time of his choosing, to dovetail with his own insecurities.

Absolutely they were, but try explaining this to Rags and they just stare at you. It's amazing what a long run
of success, which they certainly had, skews the thought processes of fans, it overrules rationality, and the blind absorption of
of the present makes the mind blind to any disparaging facts. Well, for them, the present is starting to take on a much more
sinister outlook, and this petulant lashing out is part of a gratifying, for us, process of bewilderment and outrage.
And the glorious upshot is?
I's only going to get worse.

It’s pitiful that some people are spoon-fed so easily. It shouldn’t require a lot of effort for someone to read up on a subject they claim to care about. Instead, they’d rather accept what they’ve been told, because it makes them feel better about themselves and their reasons for supporting their football club. Rag propaganda is the opium of its (more simple) supporters.

I see the MUEN is at it again with this headline.------
Chelsea gave Man City HUGE respect but will Jose Mourinho's Man United do the same?
Manchester United could need a win at Man City next month to stop them winning the Premier League - but will they be as negative as Antonio Conte's team?

Have they forgotten that they have already parked the bus sorry, bus depot at the last games at the Etihad and swamp.

That bit, in particular, is absolute bullshit. Even the people running their club don't believe that nonsense anymore, hence why they had to double our wage offer to get Sanchez. Why would any footballer give a flying fuck about history? It's their own careers and legacies that matter to them, and quite rightly so.
Money and the potential to win things in the future will always attract players much more than being able to say they play for a club that was pretty good 15 years ago. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just deluding themselves.
