This ones more like the Thriller in Manila
Danbert... United wannabees.. 'Manchester City support Patrick in his strong feelings on this matter and have confirmed to the BBC that the reporter will now be banned from all Manchester City media activity.'

Who do you think you are? United? :-)
Vieira is only stating what the rest of the world feels Iain - though it has been twisted by the journo.
Oh the irony... the rest of the world thinks that due to BBC highlights...
Look at the City challenge? Barry against stoke?
Newcastle - Rio challenge?
Hand ball this week by Fulham player similar to Essiens?
United get more penalties than most.. you'd expect that.. we have spent more time attacking the opposition, camped in their box than any other team in the history of the league..
Say.. you get a penalty claim every 1 in 10 attacks.. 1 in 4 are given.. therefore United do get more decisions.. which you'd expect.. I don't think we get favours though..
I think refs do try to even decisions out.. if they give a harsh penalty one way the give the other too often.. if tehy deny one.. they deny the other team.. that happened on Monday...
Iain can you believe the arrogance of this from United?
It's the best team talk that Mancini could give for any game, that pinned up in the dressing room with 8 games to go
Problem is though you need United to slip up. You could win every game from now and still not do it.
True Hank - but what about the arrogance of that T shirt? Actually I love the slight dig at the amount of money we've spent, it's as if they think their sides have been built around homegrown players. £483,150,000. That's how much United have spent on players in the Premiership era.
£7m Andy Cole 1994
£12.6m Dwight Yorke 1998
£10.75m Jaap Stam 1998
£7.8m Fabien Barthez 1999
£19m Ruud Van Nistelrooy 2001
£6.9m Diego Forlan 2001
£33m Rio Ferdinand 2002
£6.9m Gabriel Henize 2003
£7m Alan Smith 2003
£12.82m Louis Saha 2003
£12.2m Cristiano Ronaldo 2003
£27m Wayne Rooney 2004
£7m Nemanja Vidiv 2005
£18.6m Michael Carrick 2006
£9m Carlos Tevez 2007
£13.5m Nani 2007
£15m Anderson 2007
£17m Owen Hargreaves 2007
£30.75m Dimitar Berbatov 2008
£16m Antonio Valencia 2009
£10m Chris Smalling 2010
£17m Phil Jones 2011
£17m Ashley Young 2011
£18.9m David De Gea 2011
That's just a selection of players, some of whom I'd completely forgotten cost so much, I mean £17m for Hargreaves, £18.6m for Carrick, £12.82m for Saha, £12.6m for Dwight Yorke, and that's in 1998 so with 14 years of football based inflation you can likely double that, at least, in real terms. United, since the Premier League began, have spent huge sums of money to be at the very top, it's hypocritical in the extreme for them to suggest money doesn't buy success. It does, and has, in Trafford. :sneaky:
I'm most disappointed you forgot Veron! £28m of nothing.
Yeah, it would be hypocritical of United to criticise City for spending cash to attain success. All successful clubs need to splash the cash. That's football.
only if ManU win their other 7 and amass a greater goal difference than us
so it's still in our own hands
