One thing the Rags don't do is invest much of it in our local community. They just do superficial things they can boast about on social media as opposed to working with the local authority to re-generate Manchester by helping to provide homes, sports facilities, schools, a new university complex, or perhaps supporting female sport by launching a women's team. Of course we'll never know for sure because they are based in the tax avoidance haven of the Cayman Islands and no one from the media will ever call them out because they do things "the United way."

If anyone wanted an insight into the differences between our two clubs' value systems (and the effect these have on everything else), this would be it.
 
Van Gaal mentioned recently that he believes the rags are only interested in making money - something everybody has been aware of for some time now. Ok, he may well have an axe to grind with them, but he's gone public on his view and now the world and his wife have heard it first hand from someone who was actually there to witness what goes on.

The plastic edifice is beginning to crumble at the foundations.

Their local authority is Trafford not Manchester. But your point remains.

This, funny how the media choose to ignore the bigger picture with City.

So, we fly out on the 8/4 (Sunday) and was expecting to miss the Derby.
Delighted it's now Saturday evening(7/4), but I read that depends on CL games?
What could that mean, Friday night?

No idea why you keep putting the bookies odds on here although 7/4 seems a good price given the fixture list dates.
