Will said:Yes Will you are quite right, yoonitid made there money by being succcesfull, not by launching themselves on the stock market which of course is what allowed Uncle Malcolm to buy you out and load you up with debt.
This would have been a good point. If we hadn't been the most successful club 'before' the Glazers came along.
But of course it is better to be in debt to a Johnny Foreigner than being given money by one isn't it.
Rather not be in debt at all. And Jonny foreigner's money has its price. 'The Etihad' stadium?
And I don't think City's money is sustainable. The Etihad looked about 2/3 full for the Sunderland game, one where the team is chasing its first title for decades. How will you get around the FFP rules when they come in? Not by cheating and corruption, surely.[/quote]
Forget it \; You can SMELL the fear !!!
best of the day totally spot onphiliph20 said:He probably classes the thousands of morons in Manchester who watch Sky in their local proudly wearing their AON tops, mouthing off yet have NEVER even been to Old Trafford as fans, i class them as lemmings who always take the easy option in life and feel the need to belong to something successful in order to validate their existence.

you're overlooking the fact that that's precisely what united have done.

That was one thing that always made me chuckle when their laughably preposterous so-called 'ultras' from the 'Manchester Education Committee' (presumably from the remedial class/'special school' division) were protesting against the Glazer purchase.Nicky D said:Perhaps Will has also forgotten about the abolition of shared gate receipts in the early 80s that would grant big city teams like United an undeniable advantage over the likes of Forest, Norwich etc.
But most importantly as many have observed the stock exchange flotation did so much to 'earn' (ie give United a grossly unfair advantage) them money is now so hilariously the reason for their foreign ownership and massive debts.
A bunch of fat, bald old men in cheap and nasty black coats, barging into Vodafone and Nike shops in town and attempting to intimidate a handful of teenage shop girls by shouting "United Not For Sale" in their faces.
Failing to accept the cold, hard fact that by floating on the stock market and enjoying the huge riches and commercial advantage over their rivals that this provided, "United" were indeed "for sale" from 9am to 5pm every working day from Monday to Friday.
These were presumably the same self-important and deluded oxygen thieves who eventually ran away from the battle to set up their own poxy little Happy Shopper Rag franchise.

Not withstanding which, Chelsea have bought sustained success!! What is it, 3 league titles, 3 FA Cups, 2 Carling Cups in the last 10 years or so? OK, no domestic trophy this year, but they're in the semi finals of the Chimps League. Looks like sustained success to me. God I fucking hate rags. There isn't one that isn't a ****

City appear to be falling apart. The evaporation of their expansive style combined with embarrassing infighting, the whirlwind of controversy that is Mario Balotelli and the humiliating climbdown over Carlos Tevez paints City as nothing more than a bunch of money-grabbing mercenaries.
Sounds like something they say over on the ragcafe. How was this rant allowed to be published, it doesn't even offer a flip-side to the arguement, utter bile and Bias.

But they have ALWAYS played a style of football that gave them the biggest crowds?
How come then in 80 years of football at Maine Road, the smallest league attendance was at manure's game against Swindon 8,015
Will, dont let the facts get in the way of your propaganda, but then of course your club wouldnt have kicked Harry Gregg out of his house after the air disaster, and your club wouldnt have given cuntona more for appearing in a fundraiser for the families of the deceased and survivors than those that it was organised to help, but yet he is still idolised by the rag army

If you're interested in why I thought you were talking shite, which I suspect you're not, I suggest you start an off topic discussion about your opinions and provide some evidence to back them up. This thread is the wrong place to discuss this further.coleridge said:west didsblue said:Pro-zionist media???? Have you read the Guardian, watched the BBC or Sky recently. Who said no-ones allowed to comment on the religion of the Glazers or Roman - it's just not relevant. I don't want want to get into politics but you're talking shite.coleridge said:Anyway, I noted the magic lamp reference. As I said in September 2008, the pro-zionist media are apoplectic at the very idea of 'Arabs' owning one of the most successful clubs in the world. They've had to tone it down since the likes of Barca and Malaga got into bed with the Qataris, as has the whole of FIFA [allegedly, according to some, can't believe it myself, like].
However, it adds to the lazy and/or corrupt journo's vision of the world that Fergie is crowned every May. At the same time, no-one is allowed to comment on the religion of the Glaziers, or Roman for that matter [although I've heard the odd murmur in the press recently], or otherwise discuss where their money comes from.
As Chutzpah is the original art of talking shite, I'll bow to your in-depth knowledge and immense expertise. BTW West Didsbury is my spiritual home and a place of great tolerance. That's why your abusive post is so disappointing but, I suppose, that's the school holidays for you...
BTW I suggest you look up Chutzpah in a dictionary. It's nothing to do with talking shite.

But that Swindon game wasn't one of them.
Better to point out that their lowest league crowd at Old Trafford was less than half our lowest league crowd at Maine Road.

My friend, I've had enough of this. I take you at your implied word that you are a true blue from my neck of the woods. Respect and move on. I offered an opinion and you insulted me. I'm already over it. As someone from a very serious Muslim family [not me, I don't practice], I have been brought up and went to school with many Jews in South Manchester [that's what they call themselves], some very good friends of mine, we've drunk, fought and pulled 'birds' together. We always disagree on Israel/Palestine but we just get in with it and focus on what we have in common. So should you. Life's too short. Peace and love.x
