Pre Derby Rag Post Of The Day

[Chinners]

Your only part right Kladze, besides the selling of rotten meat to the children of Manchester, there was the slight matter of robbing the dead and surviving victims of a well known air crash, in todays valuations the fund collected from almost every ground in the country would run into many millions, it seemed to have got lost somewhere between that nest of light fingered bast*rds an the people it was meant for.

Actually, am in an argument with a rag fan about this at the moment. Can anyone suggest an article from a well-known source about what United did to its players in the aftermath that I can show him?

They chucked them out of their houses if they were injured, oh and on the 40th anniversary they finally played a fund-raising match for the families. Other than that they did fuck all except fleece the legacy of a tragic accident.

Chinners. Go to the nearest mirror and look into it. Do you see a 'reliable source' staring back at you?

I've told him all of this and his reply was 'I'll believe it when I see it'. I doubt he will, in all honesty, but still.

After 40+ years loving City, matches home and away, some of which actually made me question the logic behind making my son a blue. After the heartache of season after season of dross managers buying third rate players, going out in the third round, seasons being over by November...... a rag on Twitter last night actually acused me of jumping on the bandwagon.

I have never hated them so much as I do now.

Bring on Sunday.
CTID!

That's true in every aspect of the club, they have the gaul to berate others for things they do week in week out.

40th anniversaryIn late 1997, John Doherty approached United chairman Martin Edwards on behalf of the Manchester United Former Players' Association to request a testimonial for those victims of the Munich disaster – both the survivors and the dependants of the ones who were lost.[58] Edwards was hesitant, but a benefit match was eventually sanctioned for a date as close to the 40th anniversary of the disaster as possible. Red Star Belgrade and Bayern Munich were touted as possible opponents for the match, and fans purchased tickets without the opponents even having been decided.[59]

However, in the midst of the preparations, former United player Eric Cantona, who had retired from football to pursue a career in film in the summer of 1997, expressed an interest in returning to Manchester United for a farewell match. Edwards, ever the businessman, took the opportunity to combine the two events into one.[60] From then on, it seemed to some that the match had ceased to be primarily a tribute to the Busby Babes and more about Cantona. Due to Cantona's new acting career, his schedule meant that he would not be available in February and the match was moved to 18 August, with the opposition to be a European XI chosen by Cantona himself. Martin Edwards was criticised for turning the match into a publicity stunt, while Elizabeth Wood, the divorced wife of Munich survivor Ray Wood, compared the treatment of the Munich victims to that of "dancing bears at the circus". Nevertheless, the match earned £47,000 for each of the victims' families, while Eric Cantona recouped over £90,000 in expenses directly from the testimonial fund, rather than from the club.[61] The club has also received criticism from some quarters for its poor treatment of the survivors: Johnny Berry was forced to leave the apartment he rented from the club to make way for a new player.[62]
