They leave me completely cold. I don't get annoyed if they win things, and I'm never really in awe of them. I just don't really care they are there.
Though I have just remembered I'm working in Manchester tomorrow, right where the fucking parade is happening. Will be making a hasty 4pm exit I think to avoid that :doh:
I think everyone feels the same really.Quote:

I think everyone would like to see him at a club where the deck isn’t stacked in his favour. This dominance with City was inevitable from the moment he walked through the door.Quote:

City have cruised to the treble, they’re a level above everyone else. People can go on about us bottling it if they like and there is something in that, but City were going to mow us down in the end. They’re just a relentless machine. They barely got out of 2nd gear to dispatch Utd last year.
And we all know how they got to this level. It baffles me that they’re not called out on it. I have zero respect for any of their “achievements” and the lack of self awareness of some City fans is dizzying.
But he had the FA and all refs around his little finger - no pel awarded against them at Old Shiteford for over two-and-a-half seasons, as much extra time as they needed to get a winner, Keane almost literally getting away with murder on the pitch etc etcQuote:

I don't really agree. I mean, I do think Fergie had more influence than he should have and intimidated referees. But don't all clubs and managers seek to influence things? I don't think the fact that he was better at it than others makes him a cheat. He's the GOAT, for me. Hated him at the time but now the dust has settled I have a lot of grudging respect for him.
can't stand him tbh although it's always amusing to see how pissed off he is when Moan U are losing :)Quote:

As for Aberdeen, i remember they were supposed to go down one season but Ferguson fiddled it so they stayed up - for that reason i hate Aberdeen and always hope they lose
I don't admire anything Moan U or Fergufuck did
take that Giggs 'wondergoal' against us in the FAC - the only 'wonder' about it was how Keown and all the others did such a good job of giving him a free run at goal - in terms of any skill Giggs used, it was the equivalent of a tap-in
To be fair they are the best team I've seen play live football on TV.
If your complaining about the parade then your point is invalid. Your wouldn't mind your own team having a parade after they have won. So let them have there fun.

The goal was scored in the second half of extra time, so the worst you can say that is that some of the attempts were a bit tired. But I think as much as hate to admit it, it was an absolutely class goal
I do think it's played and replayed too much, but it was a brilliant goal.
I remember walking out of the room in a strop and refusing to watch the rest :lol:
