I didn't realise until about five years ago that Manchester had two teams,' said Alves. 'Of course Manchester United have been one of the most famous and successful clubs in Europe for many years - but I thought they were the only one.'Originally Posted by TheReverand
We're not out of this tie yet. Our plan was always to lull them into a false sense of security, just like we did with Bayern
Plucky old cITYPretty unlucky really, the lads gave it their all, still a slight chance if we can get everyone fit and put them on the back foot. Demichelis was an accident waiting to happen though.
But is it not all a bit of an artificial award that Man Utd fans award themselves, "we earned our money".
I mean, you rightly concede that Man Utd gained massive popularity on the back of a desperate tragedy. They previously had form in the murky stuff like the 1915 bribery case, subsequently they were owned by a host of characters, from gamblers to guys who peered in under toilet doors , I remember the Busby family itself were treated rather poorly surrounding the merchandise superstore, owners fell out with a manager over horse semen, a company like Nike with form in the sweatshop world supply gear, they batted eyelids at some guy who spoke with aliens and so on and so forth.
So it's not like the copybook is free of any blots. Not that I would say they are worse than others either, mind you..and certainly the allegations involving Shinawatra are appalling. But specifically on the issue that "we earned our money"...is the obvious answer in these days "so?". It sounds like something an Arsenal fan might boast about "yeah but we are the best run club and look at our new stadium". Once an owner meets the fit and proper guff and the club meets the fair play rules, that's kinda it really.
They would have stuck six past United!Plucky old cITY
No doubt but City were the favourites last night. You took the p*ss out of us last season for being reliant on RVP but you're equally reliant on Aguero and last night proved it. Barcelona never really got out of third gear and still got 2 away goals.They would have stuck six past United!
The plan is working perfectly. What's the next step?
Had Fergie said the Ref was on one side and had 'arranged' other results Danbo would be spitting feathers...
Pelligrini has lost his head.. its a keegan moment.. tick tock...
