This is our City

The Troubled Circus That Is Manchester United, Hypocrite Clowns Running Scared

I hear The Glazer family are trying to get the banks to turn Uniteds debt into bonds, in simple terms that is basically taking out another loan with fresh promises just to pay off the previous loan.

Guess what?, United fans are actually happy about it, if that was not enough The Glazer family are even considering selling the naming rights to their dated stadium. If we're lucky the Glazers may even change the club name as well and I would suggest McDonalds United as a perfect replacement.




What made me giggle this month was seeing our Carlitos Tevez pick up not just club player of the month but also the Barclays Premier League player of the month award after eight goals in seven games, at this rate Tevez will end up winning the Barclays Player of the year.

And United fans branded Carlitos Tevez a headless chicken stating the flop Berbatov was a better player, what makes me laugh even more is, they continue to pay to watch a diminishing squad slowly flatline after selling one of their best and loosing one of their best players.




The only player that really has any worth in their squad is Vidic but they seem to think Rooney is some kind of superstar instead, If Rooney is some kind of superstar player then why has England not won the World Cup with him?

The next thing they will say is, the rest of the English national side are flops, aside their own players for sure, how long before Vidic ends up at Real Madrid?

Alex Ferguson has just come out fighting in support of the Glazer family while stating his failure to enter the January transfer window has nothing to do with the fact United have extreme amounts of debt or due to the fact the Glazers will not give him any cash to spend as there is no cash to spend.

Most United fans on the world wide web are pretty much saying the same thing, but I cannot use them all as examples as it would take to long a time.

Heres what one had to say after Manchester City FC became debt free, hope you have as much enjoyment reading it as I did.

"I'm fond of City as a club. I went to Maine Road more than Old Trafford as a kid because I lived nearby and my best mate was a blue who wouldn't be seen dead at Old Trafford. I'm just sick of City fans talking up the money and disparaging the name of Man United, who have achieved fantastic things, only to be subject to ridicule from fans of a club that has achieved zero for over 35 years, and little before then. It's as if tradition and achievement means nothing compared to being owned by a billionnaire. And think on City fans...the Sheik could just as easily have bought Hull, or Wigan. That's the sum total of your achievment...a rich man's whim."

So you admit to being a glory hunting kid in your youth then rather than join your friends in supporting the real club of Manchester. As far as im aware United were also owned by a rich man before being riddled with debt, technicalities and its 34 years you numpty.

"Money like this is making a mockery of football. No achievement, tradition, hard work or ability is necessary now. Just pump in mega millions and you can skim off all the talent from other teams, pay them ridiculous amounts of money, and wait for the results. Once other fans realise that there is no point in thier team trying, they will give up and the game will die. You must be so proud that the only difference between yourselves and teams like Burnley, Birmingham, Stoke and Wigan is the shed load of money shoveled into your club from outside football. If City win every title and cup for the next 10 years, it will mean nothing. City have earned nothing, but been presented it all on a plate. Well done."

Well you pretty much described United while showing how much of a hypocrite you and your fellow United fans are, the only diference is that Manchester City are not in debt and are not fleecing us City fans.

Did I forget to mention the fact Manchester City FC have one of the top three best youth academies in Great Britain, we may snap up the odd one or two young prospects from other clubs here and there but United is the club that has abused their rights and status.

"I do not fear, just disdain. Yes you've got money, but you have no credibility. Any success you have will now be tainted by the phrase ' they did nothing before they got all that money'. United, Liverpool, Arsenal, have earned thier place in history through footballing achievement. As have Nottingham Forest, Spurs, Villa etc.... City now have money, period!

I do wish City well, but I don't see why thier good fortune should result in some City fans attempting to belittle the fantastic achievements of thier former tenants. As City are now tenants of the local council, perhaps a little humility is in order."


The chap seems to think we just appeared out of nowhere in the last few years, apparently we did nothing not even before 1976. Oh the old council jibe, how crippling we feel at the hands of such a devastating story about how our stadium is owned by Manchester City council.

Well they could not have rented it out to your fake club now could they, for starters your club is outside Manchester. Then there would be the issue of your club being misleadingly named Manchester United, would not seem right your club being based in a stadium named The CITY of Manchester stadium now would it.

Wishing us well is so "aww bless his little cotton socks", I bet he was uttering a little something more when he typed that out.

Mr Patrick Vieira, the stage is yours, do your best.
