ITV and the Manchester Evening News were spammed with junk mail from United fans demanding our Micah Richards and Mario Balotelli be punished by the FA for apparently swearing while being interviewed after the FA Cup final.
I being one of millions of viewers saw both brief interviews and can confirm, Micah Richards only aired half of the word realising just in time. Balotelli can also be forgiven, for his English is far from perfect and he clearly did not fully understand what he was saying.
While that is no excuse it was hardly sticking your face into the lens of a TV Camera like a rabid dog, swearing directly into the camera with a face that smacked of anger.
No prizes for guessing who I speak of.
No doubt United fans will take action by implying that David Bernstein had something to do with it, considering his past but now expired connection with Manchester City fc.
As the FA have no intention of punishing both players and rightly so, this is a clear case of United and their fans in their delusional bubble claiming double standards when the only people guilty of double standards are United themselves.
You would think that the Champions League final would be the center of their attention but that is clearly far from reality, the major talking point amongst United fans right now is what to do with the banner.
Either that or claiming how Alex Ferguson is not at all bothered by Manchester City's swift rise, claiming they see no threat or welcome it with open arms.
I suppose we can forgive them for the disrespect they show the Champions League and Barcelona, it can not be easy looking down both barrels of the biggest gun in world football right now.
I say keep the banner up and use it to count down until their club win nothing, or they could use the banner to remind themselves of the record they hold and would only need to up it to 38 years. I'd say the record they hold in Manchester but the fact is, they are not in Manchester are they.
I can honestly say there are only three things on my fellow City fans minds when it comes to football and they are, seeing Manchester City in the Champions League next season, seeing who arrives in the transfer window and seeing Manchester City challenging for the Premier League Title.
As far as we are concerned United can do what they like with their pathetic banner.
We City fans have a summer to get ready for, though I must say seeing United lose to Barcelona would be 'nothing more than icing on the cake' as Alan 'moron' Hansen branded the FA Cup.
Good article, well said. You can smell the fear and long may it continue.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer it if they keep the banner up. Now its a reminder of our success,and not our failure.
ReplyDeleteRooney looked straight at the camera and told me and you to eff off. Micah said the fans are effing brilliant. Mario, self-effacingly described some of his performances as sh*t, before questioning if he's allowed to say that on TV. Totally different
Bumb as United fans don't learn from their mistake and turn on Liverpool with a 19 times banner.
ReplyDeleteTo united fans thats all football amounts to these days, nothing more than ammo to brag and boast.
you know when united fans are shitting themselves when they talk more about city get used to it united we are here to stay
ReplyDeletespot on, they seem to prefer to brag and boast than anything else, not only bad losers but bad winners too.
ReplyDeleteThe most laughable thing about the United fans putting up that banner at Liverpool is that they arrived and departed in a "getaway" car. I think they have been watching too many Shane Ritchie films. They will be getting Vinny Jones in next as the "guvnor"
ReplyDeleteTotally obsessed, classles fans. One minute intimidating Ferdinand, the next threatening Rooney. Real classy.
Keep the banner up, take the banner down - who cares? We won the Cup! We're in the Champions' League next season! Bugger the Rags - it's all about us.
