Rags never understood that nothing lasts forever. They genuinely thought their reign would last forever and never envisaged a future where they weren’t the best club.

But they rarely were the best club before. A good run under Magnull and two great sides built by Busby and that was United’s entire history before the 1990s. Two good managers ever before Ferguson.

I think a lot of City fans live in the knowledge that one day Pep will leave and we will be a worse team for it; members of our boardroom and the chairman will leave and we will be a worse club for it; the Sheikh will one day sell his shares in the club and we will be a different club altogether… we know that we will not always be this juggernaut that we’ve become and one day we will likely fall away down the league table becoming a history club.

The Rags never understood that and they can’t accept or handle it (Liverpool are the same).

1992 to 2013 was a great period for United (similarly 1973 to 1990 for Liverpool). But they were crazy anomalies in the history of both football clubs that are never going to be repeated for either of them ever again.

It’s City’s turn now. It might last from 2012 to maybe around 2031 or something. Then it could be Newcastle’s. In the future clubs like Spurs, Leeds or West Ham will be the next ones along with the investment and success (they’re the three biggest potential opportunities for investors in the country).

United (and Liverpool)’s time has been and gone. It won’t be long until City’s is n’all. But I think we understand that where those two sets of fans never have.

Everton would be a good investment too.

Rashford isn't far off his level either.....and never do they get sanctioned for their transparent and despicably levels of deceit.

Our officials are utterly inept,even if they miss that sort of shit in real time there is the opportunity to review with footage like above.As cheating and shithousery has become part of the usual suspects game,the officials should be fully expecting their acting and immediately clamp down on it by way of caution.

It seems its ok to book players for taking a second or two longer when running down the clock,but blatant cheating is fine.......the game is a joke.

That boils my piss Seb. There are levels of cheating (non are acceptable) to dupe the ref but this guy is something else. Can he face retroactive punishment for that or is it done and dusted now? Players need a 5 game ban every time they cheat like that and it would soon stop.

Specifically regarding this guy he rages at refs and does this constantly, half the time it is not even subtle about his diving.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any provision for him receiving retrospective action for this and many other instances of his cheating.

As @blueinsa said, playing for United largely insulates him from consequence, as we have seen with the difference between how his abuse of referees has been handled (not at all) versus other players like Mitrovic.

Spot-on. You have to enjoy it while it lasts. Football history is littered with "history" clubs like Preston North End, Wolves, Aston Villa, Everton. All I have ever wanted as a City fan is the chance to compete at the top table. We did it in the 1930s, 60s/70s, and the last decade. We have always been a big club and always will be but winning trophies is a hard goal to maintain. These really are the glory years.

They don’t have the will to apply the rules when officiating the scum.
