He said that in Feb as well
No sign of my rag neighbour since that momentous day !! LOL !
Where have they all gone ?
Didsbury Dave said:M18CTID said:Didsbury Dave said:There can't be many United fans, apart from the daftest of kids, who don't realise that City have knocked them off their perch for the foreseeable future. Our team is better than theirs and we are richer than God. It isn't complicated maths. Until they free themselves from debt they can't compete.
You can see it in Fergie's eyes every time we outplay them. He was crazy not to retire 12 months ago. We are sullying his legacy.
That would've been the best thing he could have done - bow out after number 19 was secured. Losing to Barca in the CL Final was no disgrace despite the fact that they were comprehensively outplayed.
The trouble is, he's too stubborn to let go and he obviously thinks he can build another great team just he has done in the past. The difference this time is that they are seriously hamstrung by their debt and we're posing what could well be an even bigger threat to their dominance than Arsenal or Chelsea did when they were winning titles. Plus he's not getting any younger either and while he may claim to still have the hunger, has he still got the know-how to see off this latest challenge? There's a possibility that he could do a Cloughie and hang on to power too long.
I think it's more than a possibility, I think that's what's happening. And I think he knows, you can see it in his eyes. Every time we beat them you can see the pain, the confusion and the impotence.
All the great managers cling on too long, and he's already doing that.
To give him credit, they should never have got near us this year with that team. We were better than them the year before, too. But now it's us with the belief and the confidence, not them.
Didsbury Dave said:I found it bizarre that a lot of blues fell into the mentality, with about 10 games to go, of saying "United will win all their games".
That team were not good enough to win them all. It was a major achievement for them to go on that run early in the year. But they were bound to drop points with that midfield.
Once those debts are cleared they'll compete, of course. But right now they are way off the pace and if Ferguson wins the league again without major inestment (£100m+) then it will be his best ever achievement, and a big blow to us and Chelsea.

Revisionist history experts.
Every United youngster is a worldy, every defeat has a legitimate excuse, and everyone outside of a few, fucking lap it up as gospel.
I simply pose this question, what narrative will they paint when he either drops dead on the bench or his armchair, and all because his ego won't allow him to trust anyone to spend the next 20 years keeping us at bay.
When he pops his clogs, he will be their Munich for the new age.

We're City, let's be more gracious than the Rags, and a bit more imaginative. I want Taggert to live forever and never win his 20th title. I want him to see his successors fail, his fan base dwindle, I want him to see everything he's built at Utd crumble, I want him to live a long, healthy and miserable life.
