i like this thread.

dirty rags acting like they've not bought their success is always amusing as well. sky over-inflated the value of success and made it a self-perpetuating elite. not any more.

out played you in all the derby games this year, says it all.

Which PROFESSIONAL football club hasn't bought it's success or failure.I used to follow football but would prefer to watch the local team where the players play because they want to.

out-played due to injuries... two-faced tevez and botulism being your top dogs? at least ALL the united players respect fergie... mancini needs to man up to those clowns... just glad we're not paid in dirham... dollars bad enough...

So Man utd don't buy their success then? .I could list the players that they have poached /bought from other clubs just like you can for all.
Man Utd and the other big clubs are only that because

1 They have alot of mugs -sorry fans throughout the world buying merchandise

2 Rich owners who pump money into the club

3 Success encourages the big fish (with inflated wages) to false loyalties.

In my opinion the best managers are those that work with a fraction of the expense and survive and do well,punching above the belt--David Moyes ,Paul Lambert for example.
Personally i would love to see a rule come in that says the managers are moved around every 5 years to see whether the likes of Fergie could manage a poor team to success.

i fully concur that managers like moyes and lambert and rogers have done fantastically, but conversely you sometimes see these managers who do well on a shoestring budget get a job with a richer (not bigger) club... and they do woefully. since sky came in it's a self-perpetuating hegemony at the top level, and the only way to break into it is a rich owner, such as jack walker at blackburn, abramovich at chelsea and mansour at city. sticking is the trick, money doesn't get you success, it can only assist - the players, the manager and the team ethic are what wins things.

Listening to utd fans claiming and whining about city having bought the title is hypocrisy of an epic scale.

It was fine when they were the richest club and were doing it, cry me a river

I'm still laughing.....

.

I agree wholeheartedly.
Just like Sir Alex Ferguson, they never could take losing with honor. Nah, everything BUT the team will be found guilty of their failure - starting from someone having better transfering ideas, poor referees (Fergie does his part here), unjuries and faaaar worse matchday fixtures.

Anybody ever heard of Ashley Young?

Should have won the derby when they had a chance.

Are you serious? Obviously, you're too young to appreciate the meaning of tradition, honour and pride! ...Do you even understand the offside rule?

Actually yes ,i went to professional football matches before there were foreign imports,when British players players for British clubs.Before the Trevor Francis broke the 1 million pound mark.
Oh and i do understand the offside rule as well.

Every club has a tradition,some a huge amount some not so big but just as important for them.
