Imagine all those local youths he could feed.

Is Ten bob on a long term contraction ?

Erik Tena Hag.

So over the last 38 Premier League games, the equivalent of an entire season, my admittedly dodgy maths has it that they are 41 points behind us (96 to 55)
That’s an average of more than a point a game, which is MASSIVE

Their goal difference is even worse - they’re 81 behind us (76 to minus 5).
That’s an average of more than two goals a game, which is even more MASSIVE.

Lads, we’re basically playing a different sport

Not quite a fair comparison as they aren't allowed to play utd.

Not tipping them for the title this year, GDM? ;-)

When did I do that?

When did I do that?

About this time last year. It might have been to challenge, to be fair…

I‘ve never complained about City’s success or the amount they spent. Good luck to you. I’ve always been against the flawed concept of FFP because it’s an anti-competitive tool to keep out ambitious clubs from crashing the elite clubs’ party. For the same reason I won’t begrudge any success that comes Newcastle‘s way. I think anyone fair minded would agree with me. And anyway, success is not down to money alone or otherwise MUFC would still be dominating. You need a good structure, a smart strategy and talent not just on the pitch but off it also. Maybe the Glazers might finally see the wisdom of that? As for City, not just the football side but the regeneration of parts of east Manchester should be commended as well.

Kiss arse ;-)

So, not tipping them for the title then?

Not exactly, no.

Are you tipping them to challenge this year?

To think, not so long ago, the mantra of every second United fan was: "We're a brand, you see. That's why United will always be strong".
It had an impressive ring to it and sounded ominous, to be fair. Little did they (or many others like myself) imagine back then how servicing that brand would be their downfall.

Woolworths was a famous brand but they failed to adapt, became irrelevant, and went bust
