Re: Tonight's football thread
Here are some things likely to change from next season:
The rags will start conceding penalties, including at the swamp
the rags will start having players sent off
the media will become substantially more sceptical about the rags - not necessarily hostile (though I imagine some will want their last laugh) but less inclined to lap up the bullshit that emanates from the swamp
less time will be added on to the end of games when the rags are drawing or losing
there will be fewer embargoes of referees who oversee rag defeats
when the rags surround referees demanding players are booked or sent off, they may find they are booked themselves - likewise when certain rag players give officials gobfuls of abuse
lower and mid table sides will actually try and win games against the rags rather than simply roll over and die
attendances will fall at the swamp
there will be some dressing room disharmony because some of the big names who kowtow to the Slur Alex will not do so to anybody else
there are many others.

Baconface has been very crafty here Iain, he knows that the team he has there is crap and that we handed him the league on a plate, he knew months ago that he was having a hip operation but was willing to soldier on.
I dont care who you get in, that trafford team is crap and the new guy will not have any money to spend, whilst we on the other hand we will be going from strength to strength, yet crafty baconchops will sit in the stand all smug when he hears them all saying that it has fallen apart because he has stepped down, when in reality, the new guy wont stand a chance with shit players and no money to spend. It happened before when Busy went.

Such grace and class from City fans.
How did City hand United the title "on a plate"? The league doesn't lie... the best team wins. It's not the best team finishes in second. City are deluded if they believe anything else to be the case. I suppose they handed Dortmund their CL final place by failing to beat them in two attempts earlier on in the competition? Perhaps someone should explaing the concept of winning to them.
As a Leeds fan I can't say I won't be glad to see the back of ol' Fergie, but it's hard to argue he isn't the best ever British manager. Fair play to him.

Blah blah blah Danbert. You're like the boy who cried wolf..... Fergie's losing it, tick tock etc etc.
The law of averages suggest that you'll be right one day but it's getting tiresome.
Oh, those shit players only lost on goal difference to you last season and destroyed you lot this season so what does that say about the state of your squad? If Mancini doesn't win the cup final, I think we won't be the only Manchester team without a manager.
I also think you're underestimating the impact of the financial fair play rules which will affect City a lot more than Utd, particularly given your recent abysmal attempts to conquer the lucrative Asian markets.
http://www.soccerticketsonline.com/man-united-announce-record-profits-2/
Quote:
Financial Fair Play basically means that clubs have to live within their means. That they spend only what they make. So clubs that have the most revenue have a tremendous advantage over those with smaller revenue streams.
And the Premier League club with the biggest revenue stream is Manchester United. United announced today a record third-quarter turnover of £91.7m. To put that number in perspective, in 2011-12 only six clubs in England had annual turnover of over £100m and United have almost equaled that in one quarter!
United raised its 12-month turnover projections to £360m, which will be close to £100m more than any team in the Premier League.

You are right.. SAF's always strayed away from such challenges.. like knocking Liverpool of their f*cking perch.. then when Arsenal did the invincibles.. he walked away.. then when roman and jose hit town.. he didn't rise to the occassion then either.. then City and the Sheik came in and again he didn't come back...
Oh no.. yeah we did.. 13 titles..
Aye it happened before.. you know your history.. the age of the squad is incomparable.. United were too nostalgic.. held on to players past their best.. Fergie's ensured we have constantly been reinvigorated.. you may have missed this bit but we just won the League in one the fastest times ever.. and were on track for a record points total until we won...
And you think City lost it.. not Man U won..
Clutching Keep Straws... reorganise them...

That's the sort of response I would expect from someone who understands football. Rivals when playing each other and play hard, but recognise achievements of others with respect.
Those that can't find it within themselves to show a little respect and good grace puzzle me.
Those that are disrespectful just for the sake of it, or for some twisted type of humour, deserve to be bracketed with idiots like Frankie Boyle.

Re: Tonight's football thread
Congratulations to 'the other team' is what the Graceless git said when we won the league.
Compare that to the generous congratulations Matt Busby offered to Sir Joe Mercer when we won the league in 1968.
The Govan piss-can will ever get any respect from me. Never!

Re: Tonight's football thread
In fact i'd go as far as to say that I hope it's a nursing home soon for old Baconchops and with any luck he'll get a carer who supports City and makes him watch endless repeats of the last 5 mins of sky coverage of our last home game of last season against QPR

Not your best day Danbert... clearly you think Ferguson is superb.. all these city fans and scousers chirping away is music to his ears.. just confirms what a top manager he is.. when Sven, Hughes, and the other 15 managers you've had in the last 26 years left we said nothing as they'd done nothing..
-
Re: Tonight's football thread
Danbert you coming across as bitter blue..
"Everybody expected City to win, but they did it against ten men for half an hour and with five extra minutes to help them. But I congratulate City on winning the league. Anybody who wins it deserves it, because it's a long haul."
Just spouting rubbish.. he clearly congratulated city.. and said they deserved it.. which is more than you have done this year with the 'we threw it away'.. a tad hypocritical..
First Thatcher dies, then Ferguson retires.
Somewhere, there is a Scouser with a lamp and one wish left.

Iain my favourite part of all this media spin is this line of "He's left them in a great position".
Two players retiring, a star centre forward who has maybe 2 seasons left in him, once centre half in his mid 30's, another who can barely manage half a season, Rooney who's form goes up and down more than the members of his local bingo club etc.
In the next couple of years that side is going to need major surgery and he's got out before it goes horribly wrong.

"As a Leeds fan I can't say I won't be glad to see the back of ol' Fergie, but it's hard to argue he isn't the best ever British manager. Fair play to him."
It sticks in the throat but I definately concur Hank. I hadn't realised he'd also won 3 Scottish titles with Aberdeen, thought it was just the 1! He also won First Division with St Mirren. Not many people are successful with virtually every team they manage! Also despite appearances, I have it on good authority that away from football / tv, he's a really nice bloke!! Glad he's gone though. It'll be interesting next season, the next manager is in effect a sacrificial lamb. Good luck Mr Moyes.
-
Re: Tonight's football thread
I reckon any Reds who say they want Moyes because of 'long term, youth development, working on a tight budget' etc are lying. Deep down i reckon most match going united fans would rather win nothing for ten years as long as they had excitement and entertainment and rock and roll. That's why they really want Cantona, not Moyes, but they'll never admit it.:w00t:

RVP two seasons left? :w00t:
I'm not worried Danbert, because I look across at cITY and see your over-reliance on one player (Yaya Toure)....
...then I see the players who are unsettled like Tevez, Kolo Toure, Dzeko, Nasri, Barry & Lescott amongst others....
...then I look at the players like Van Persie, Hazard, De Rossi and Agger who you failed to sign last season.
...then I look at the players you did sign like Rodwell, Garcia, Sinclair and Maicon...
...then I look at how old and stressed Mancini is looking...
...then I look very carefully at how you were forced to sell Balotelli to meet the UEFA fair play rules...
...then I look at you potentially being kicked out of the Champions League, losing even more revenue...
...then I have a good laugh. Every cloud has a silver lining.

So Carloz Tevez and Yay Toure.. when were they born exactly...
No major surgery at all.. keep saying this.. is this year 3 or 4?
He stayed for 26 years.. how can you say he was scared of rebuilding??

Re: Tonight's football thread
Regardless of the club, I have wanted Moyes to get the chance at a top 4 club for sometime. Most of the big clubs only have eyes for overseas. It's hard to say with Man U as they have had only Fergie for so long and also Arsenal.
But Chelsea have a poor record - despite the trophies won - and they are a club in a bit of a mess - 23 players out on loan.
I was pleased when Liverpool went for Rodgers - and the early signs are promising.
If man U go for Moyes, I will be pleased for Moyes - he will be going to a great club with a good squad.
Young Keeper, Young defence with able experience, and more options in attack that perhaps any other Prem club.
One good top class midfielder will help.
