Danbert, that graphic is wrong. Google the report and have a read of it - results show more Utd season ticket holder in M postcodes but cITY have a higher % on account of having less season ticket holders.Quote:

The facts speak for themselves, 29 appearances, 5 league goals for us last season. That's not £25m talent. Now you'll say, 'neither is Berbatov', I probably agree, he's a talented player, I just don't think he's worked.
As you keep reminding us, United's financial mght has dwindled, so Fergie has to spend wisely from now on and £25 million on a player who only came alive when he needed a new contract was probably a risk too great.
Fergies won enough in England and Scotland for the likes of me to just accept his decisions, they aren't alway's spot on, but he;'s right more often that anyone else, hence why the man has been so bloody successful

Danbert, even your own fans agree that Manchester is Red:

Newton Heath founded 1878,Newton Heath LYR, 'The Heathens',they didn't drop the LYR until 1890 & the Y stands for Yorkshire making them half a YORKSHIRE CLUB. :eek:
They didn't play football until 1880,
They didn't become part of Manchester until 1890,
They didn't become "United" until 1902,
They got evicted in 1910
and we haven't seen them in Manchester since,
....................unless we invite them for a visit
LYR = Lancashire Yorkshire RailwaysQuote:

Interesting one i heard on the radio today. Which club would be best job for Mourinho. Would it be Mcfc or Mufc. I am a fan of neither so no axe to grind but knowing mourinho's ego i think Mufc would be the job he would go for because winning stuff with Mcfc would open him up to "well any half decent manager could do it because of the money". On the other hand if he were to actually carry on from Ferguson a nigh on impossible job and set the club up for decades more glory. He would become a legend and that is what would appeal to him. What do you guys think ?.
Head says manu. Heart says he'll go and watch the Robin hood film that's due out and he'll somehow be convinced to come and manage newly promoted Forest.... Well it could happen...Quote:

Yawn....is it just me or is this all getting a bit boring now.
You do. As for the other teams they were in the first league but they never formed the league that was the then director of Aston villa who also put the money up to finance it.Quote:

Not much more to say from my POV.
OK.Quote:

England should be the first team to play in fish-net socks. Discuss.

You need to chill out a little.
That's more like it.Quote:

Considering the above players formed the backbone of the team for most of the 90s, that's hardly excessive is it? Cole and Keane were British records but when you've hardly spent anything anything on the rest of the team, is that not allowed?
Have a look here:

Since the inception of the Premier League United's net transfer spend is 6th of the current clubs, below Aston Villa, Tottenham, Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea.
just a bit of harmless ribbing. ;)Quote:
