Tonight's football thread

[Danbert Nocurry]

OT's a swamp... Fergie= bacon face.. rooneys a fat so and so... crerrards a tool.. it would be remotely cerdible if not everything associated with united had a disrespectful name.. as it is you just come across as a bitter person..

In fact I've only ever seen you once give credit for United and that was at the end of last season.. even in recent posts I've spoken positively about City and some of their players...


Just a small thing I know.. but it gives some credibility if you can sometimes, just sporadically.. see a balanced(ish) view of the world..

Iain - That's because to support United is too easy.

In all seriousness supporting Manchester City these last 30 years has been all about keeping the faith.

Ask any one of the 32,134 City supporters who were at our opening game of the season in the old Division Two against Blackpool about their graetest City moment and they will tell you that it was when we won that play off game against Gillingham at wembley in 1999. That game will never be matched, no matter what we win. Don't get me wrong I was happy about winning the league last season and the FA cup the season before, and thrashing United 1 - 6 earlier last season, but none of those games come close to that day at Wembley. That is something that no United fan will ever be able to comprehend.

what rubbish..

I doubt you are a real football fan when you spout such nonsense.

If you are you'd know you don't pick your fan

If in 20 years time City have dominated football.. should your kids be abused for being easy fans..

What an incredibly ingnorant comment.. United have been down, only one league, but we've also been through Munich.. I think that's worse than 2-3 years in the lower leagues...

Football didn't start in 1992 you know..

Danbert come on, you really need to knock that chip off your shoulder.

I was born a United fan, in manchester, no choice.. we lived all over as kids, supported united as there was no choice.. Liverpool were dominant, even in shefffield, wednesday were arguably the better team... yet you get given your club, ay I've been lucky to have 20 years of United's success, but there's no chance in the world I'd have ever chosen another club..

Just because you've been through a relatively tough period, no tougher than 90% of the rest of the football league, you can spout disrespectful nonsense.. come on that's not what football is about..

And remember why 93 was so big because we had 26 years of no league win.. so we also had our dry period, liverpool are having it now.. Now city may well dominate for 20 years.. just live it, football goes in cycles.

After last season i was thinking that this massive little ciddy mantra was gone. the 6-1, the way they won the league, the ruthless thrashing of other teams, the late wins, the possibility that they may have the best squad in england but yesterday just showed that despite that one season where they were on top, they will be forever in our shadow

Normal sevice resumed. :wink:

Hope it's a good game!! I know KCAC juniors will finish bang on 7.30, so I can hopefully see the (once) mighty Arsenal (hopefully) win!!

Surprisingly enough, the Holmfirth Bantams only have one member, so no conflict there!

biara - you must be of a similar age to me & chose Arsenal over L**** in the early 70's, so some slight redemption there!

Was a kid in Kent when I chose my footie team, almost supported Liverpool, think I liked Arsenal as they were London and close (well 50miles up the road). Technically my nearest team was Gillingham and I had never heard of them. First year they won FA cup, then next year was hell as lost to West Ham in final, lost on penalties in Cup Winers Cup final, then needed point in last game at Middlesborough and lost 5-0.

Very proud though as taking 10year old to first Arsenal game on 22nd at Wigan!!!!!!!

Come on you Bantams!!

I've just heard that the Bantams have had 15 managers in 12 years.

Peter Swales would have been proud of that record.

Hope they pull out a shock for you tonight Hobbsy:wink:
