Scaring Europe to Death said:
They shouldn't have lost at Villa, but they need at least 3 goals to win a game and Sesko and Cunha lack Haaland's quality.

We need it to stay that way with United finishing outside the Top 5 and not being able to fund any new signings whilst also seeing Fernandes and Casemiro grow older.

Which would be really ironic, especially if we go deep in the CL and have more home FA Cup Ties than United

This could be the first season when the gross attendance figure for the Etihad is higher than Old Trafford

Even Carragher and Neville might admit that the gap is closing

Some fucking chance!
 
The guy that wrote that letter about them being on TV 11 games on the trot ( very good ) was asking who else should he send it to .
I would say other fan groups / forums , not sure it’s been realised yet by them !

We are in a good cycle with Pep. The cycle has lasted 8-9 years, but it is still a cycle all the same.

And, not that I need to justify myself, but I've been a blue since the Gillingham game, a season ticket holder since 2003, and a member of this forum for 16 years (on and off). I've had this "new" account for longer than you've had yours ffs.

As I said before, posting anything vaguely reasonable about United sure does get people wound up.

How can you be a blue since a certain game? You are either a city fan or not , can't just choose to be one after a particular match. RAG

This is how bad they have become, that losing but playing half way decent is seen as an upward trend, lets put some perspective on this supposed upward trend, in their last six games they have won 2 of them, one a credible win against palace even tho they were absolutely battered in the 1st half and palace gassed out and against wolves who city under 8s would currently beat, the other games were a 1-0 loss at home to a 10 man everton, a 1-1 draw at home to a bottom three west ham, a 4-4 draw at home to a bournemouth team who hadnt won in the last 6 and who at weekend drew with burnley at home and a 2-1 loss to a villa team who put in their worst performance of the season.

So if this is what constitutes an upward trajectory let it continue.

13th place Fulham right up the rags arse.
 
I've watched a few of their games this season with my brother who's a red. It's funny as I see United now like one of those teams like Everton/West Ham etc who can sometimes finish 6th in a really good season. You feel they could almost kick on if they spent some big money on a top class manager and players. Then I realise they have spent a fortune on players and are stuck in that upper middle table battle. And their manager has a CV that's about as good as the guys at Brentford/Brighton etc.

However, without question they have 2 superb players in Mbuemo and Fernandes and without them they are fucked! :D Those 2 can open up any defence and if they are not available they are going to struggle.

LOVE IT!

Don't know if you're joking or not, but let's assume you're not.

It was just around that time that I started following City properly. My mum's a blue, my dad's a red. They both agreed to push neither team on me so I ended up taking in City and United stuff by osmosis until I was about 4-5 years old. The first team I "supported" (if you will) was Stockport County, though, because they were nearest our house and were sort of a stand-in for me until I inevitably picked City or United. County are still my local team and still my second team.

United won the treble the week before the play-off final, but the European Cup final was obviously on past my bedtime at that age. So I got taken to watch the Gillingham game in a pub the following week because it was on mid-afternoon, and I found it all very exciting. Then my cousin and uncle came back from Wembley with a big flag and a scarf that both got hung on my bedroom wall and stayed there until I moved out for uni at the age of 18. I've still got that flag somewhere.

I went to Maine Road for the first time the following season (3-1 win over Norwich, Mark Kennedy scoring twice in a minute, think it was around Christmas 1999) and that was that. I started following our results after that, expressing an interest in City, going to Maine Road as much as we could afford. Then as a present for my 9th birthday I got bought a season ticket at the City of Manchester Stadium. It all goes back to the Gillingham game.

Those 2 can open up some defences - on a good day, and with help from referees and RAV - and if they are not available they are going to struggle.
