Timely opportunity to re-post an absolutely superb half-hour doco that aired on our club channel before the first contest this season-


I can't recommend that enough. I first posted it in the Liverpool thread but it's gotten lost when a chunk of time/ posts disappeared during the change over to the new site format. So this time I'll leave it in the Utd thread.

Mad how even though this is still unequivocally the biggest rivalry/ game in World football, Scousers and Mancunians get along so well when you take the football off the table. I've had some brilliant night's out in Manchester/ at gigs etc. And count Manchester lads from various employments over the years among my closest friends. But fans across the globe are that conditioned that the other is the deadly enemy and you have to outright hate them, and anything/ one connected to either club/ City that it's also one of the most poisonous games in World football that brings out the very worst in people.

If you're not from either Liverpool or Manchester and haven't been brought up in the unique culture in our little corner of the World that defines most everything about us that sets us apart, I don't think you can truly understand just how alike we are and the respect, even if it's not often admitted, lads in both City's have for each other and the others respective City and football club.
 
How long between it being knowledge that inter wanted Young and them signing him? How long has it been knowledge that we wanted Bruno and how long has it taken to sign him? And Woodward isn't incompetent?

Not a fair comparison tbf.


One is a fringe player while the other is basically the club's best player.
 
Get United feeling. We have the same show going on. Fans are getting madder by the day, afraid it will be another James fiasco and we will not strengthen us enough for promotion run. Bit different for us because we need loan player or good priced guy what **** hard to find for championship, but the need for player is the same.

Like Lengend said not even the same comparison. And Fernandes was no longer a top target we was interested in.
 

Simon Stone@sistoney67
Bruno Fernandes ⁦@ManUtd⁩ target. They still hope to do the deal. But not at 80m Euros. Sporting risk them looking elsewhere after changing deal.

Sporting being ***** again just like in the summer. Which forced us and Spurs to walk away due to them raising there prices after initially agreeing a fee. See who gives first and I bet it won’t be us an rightly so.

Which all then plays into robbos point on Woodward and a no plan, shockingly bad recruitment policy.

If he was no longer a target (hard to believe unless we’re being naive), then regardless of whatever reason he suddenly is again, it’s his classic MO.

Hes reactionary, scattergun and often for a high profile name. The plan isn’t there.

I said in the post you quoted he was no longer a TOP target. And stated on numerous occasions the reasons we have decided to make a move having been offered him
