I'm so glad they have put that sign up about Manchester - in Trafford.
The joke of 2009 has clearly never sunk in with the dickheads, has it?

I always thought it was a bit cringe back then, but looking back now it was fucking gold. Right there in the heart of Deansgate for everyone to see. And here they are now on the side of some shitty building. Smalltime twats.

They've never forgotten that Welcome to Manchester poster......




It hurt them and hurts them still, but for different reasons, because the changes it heralded have come to pass.

Our poster had a marvellous, funny, fuck you effect, that resonated beyond Manchester, because it was a harbinger of things to come, that the future was sky blue, and the smarter rags like Ferguson were stung by it, because they could see where this was headed, they knew City were coming, not just for Tevez, but for them.

The rags poster, its overblown size, its site, the choice of player, its pathetic mimicry, its delusional claim to "proper" Manchester authenticity, is an admission of their defeat, an affirmation they're yesterdays men, a cack-handed attempt to retrieve a little of what they've lost, our city, that they've never had, and their predominance that they're not getting back.

Their poster stinks of desperation, a pale imitation that harks back to a time when they had the whip hand, a marketing faux pas, pathetic in its vacuous claim to a home they've never given a shit about and all the more ludicrous because of where they actually are, both in location and pecking order.

A work of genius!

The rags?

They can fuck off back to London, this City is ours.
