All summer I have read with amusement mostly but sometime a little irritation at string after string of former Utd players having a go at City.
I'll be honest I have alway respected Bobby Charlton as a great England hero but even I found his comments over the naming of our stadium as crass, a little bitter and somewhat fearful. Whilst it seems acceptable for them to have an enormous amount of debt to buy players it is not acceptable for us to spend the riches of our owners. What hypocrisy. For years they have bought there players paying higher transfer fees and wages than their rivals. In the early Ferguson years they payed way over the 'market price' for players to improve their team when arguable the team to play for was Liverpool to guarantee winning something. Keane, Ince, Pallister to name but a few.
And then unsurprisingly we had Beckham's comments but they just show his obvious lack of intelligence. To quote a great comment on TalkSport yesterday "If brains were Chocolate, he would not have enough for a Smartie".
Again it is a comment born from a genuine fear that the gap is closing and perhaps already closed. Perhaps he should remember that he was quickly sold on because he was not wanted by his beloved. Or perhaps he should consider why he was such a glory hunter that whilst his whole family supported Spurs he supposedly always supported Utd. Give me a break.
Today Neville, "Quelle Surprise"!
Last week the great celebrity that is Eamon Holmes!!!!
Mickey Thomas on TalkSport this morning.
What's the link I all hear you ask................well obviously that they are all ex-players.
What's missing then........City players.
I am greatly pleased than it is City showing the class and not entering into the bickering.
Well done City.
Who's bitter now!
