United's trophy cabinet is packed full of trophies... but unfortunately 99.9% of these trophies came before 2013.  Liverpool have only won 1 title in 30 years. Arsenal haven't won the title since 2004. Man United are nearly a decade without a title, we've haven't won it since 2013. Embarrassing for a club of our size. We are the new Arsenal. |

Manure need to pull that tin pot shed down...
It's a disgrace and an embarrassment...
Leaks all over the place apparently when it rains...
A bit like your defence...
Seriously though in this day and age of Premier League stadiums...
This coddled together four bits of different stands...
With stupid added in corners thought up by old bacon face and laughingly called a stadium...
Needs to go...

Nice to have some football banter, some people get very arsey when you make a joke about their team.
And woe betide anyone who calls it soccer. We are not in the USA.

Couldn't agree more, Corrie. Some people get way too emotional about football! They get so offended over a joke about their team or a disagreement about a player. You can tell they don't have much going for themselves in life! I don't mind people making jokes about my team, I enjoy the banter!  I use to post on the Digital Spy Football threads and the folks over there are so hilariously aggressive for no reason! And they act like a bunch of know-it-alls. Football is meant to be fun... (Ugh. Soccer. I could never call it Soccer. That word should be deleted from the Dictionary. I cringe every time I hear the Yanks say "soccer". ) |

I remember on a Facebook banter page for footy once...
City had just beat United in the Derby...
And this was the early days, probably around 2012 when we was still shit...
This guy, a Manure fan was mouthing off...
So I started winding him up about how pathetic Manure was etc...
He took it badly clocked my name and said he was coming to find me...
About two hours later he re-appears...
He'd been driving around Salford going in boozers asking people about me...
He very nearly got to the truth of who I was...
The pubs he mentioned, the faces he said he spoke with...
Was all too close to home...
Plus he said he was carrying a gun and he was going to keep on searching...
I came off FB a few days later for good...
It just wasn't worth the hassle...
And for some nutter to come really close to finding you...
Was pretty scary shit...

That's a scary story, Charls... what a prat that United fan is!! And that's coming from a United fan.  He actually went out looking for you in pubs cos you bantered him... beggars belief!  Clearly the bloke had too much time on his hands. Another reason why you should stay off Facebook... it's full of wackjobs!  |

Geoff Hurst was good but lived off his 1966 fame too much, he is not one of the top players. That goes to Robson, Shearer, the Charlton siblings, Stanley Matthews, David Beckham etc. |

Bobby Charlton is THE man. He doesn't get the credit he deserves. He is the Greatest Midfielder England produced. Shame he doesn't attend as many games anymore at Old Trafford. Shearer is my all-time favourite English striker... I was so gutted when he turned United down to play for Shitcastle United... has there ever been a striker like him since?! Maybe Michael Owen? What was the first tournament you watched, Corrie? My one was Euro 96 - that was magical!!! That's when I really got mad about football. I watched bits of World Cup 94, but I was too young to remember it. Euro 96 was when I first fell in love with football. |

Do you mean watched live or on the TV?
I can remember the 1990 World Cup very well. I have been to Spurs stadium a few times, and have seen Glen Hoddle and David Beckham for real.
Teeks what is your opinion of Geoff Hurst?

Yeah, I just mean the first tournament you ever watched? Doesn't have to be a live game. I've watched the Premier League/Man United since about 1994 - but Euro 96 was when I first started getting excited about football. Never watched World Cup 1990 - but I heard it was great from my brothers. We were so close that year! It's always the bloody Germans! They always replay Gazza's sad face and tears in every World Cup 1990 documentary.  As for Geoff Hurst, I don't know a huge amount about him other than what I've watched in documentaries. Most notably the Hat-Trick he scored in the 1966 final against Germany and the famous goal that did or didn't cross the line! He was like the Alan Shearer of his day. Great striker from all the videos I've seen of him! He played for West Ham, I think, didn't he? |

I'm a tad nervous if I'm being totally honest... There's a lot at stake... Not only our reputation within this great city... But the rest of the country's eyes will be on us... Even Loserpool will be a Manure fan tomorrow... |

Even Loserpool will be a Manure fan tomorrow... Just be happy you're in a title race. United haven't been in a title race for 9 bloody years  . I took it for granted when we were winning titles year after year under Sir Alex and dominating English football. I don't think I could bare Loserpool winning the title again, so please go ahead and beat us. I won't be crying. Just keep the score respectable.  It's City's title to lose. |

Any future matches with Russia may have to be cancelled now.

Another season comes to an end... another bloody City title parade. I'm so sick of it.  But at least it stopped Loserpool from winning it and stopped the media droning on about them winning the Quadruple. I have to agree with Guardiola that the media is very biased in favour of Liverpool. They were so desperate for Liverpool to win every trophy. Now it's up to Real Madrid and Karim Benezema to break Scouser hearts in the Champions League final. Meanwhile, Man United's season came to a pitiful end as usual. Our new manager Erik Ten Hag was unveiled yesterday so there is room for optimism for the future... hopefully he'll be our very own bald genius! Ten Hag vs Guardiola - Battle of the Baldies!! |
