Step forward Richard Arnold, commercial director of the rags, clutching at straws.
"This year, we finished our season in first place and City finished winning on goal difference."

They DID finish THEIR season in first place. Unfortunately for them the PL season finished 2 minutes later ;)

The interesting bit in the article is the estimated increase in their fanbase over the last 5 years ... they ain't on the decline with funding reserves like that. As for the 1st bollox sadly some on here were claiming we were 2nd last season ... which we were not. Gotta love the spin by Arnold thou, very fergielike

Maybe MR. Arnold should mention that before 1958 they were just an average club with average support.

I can't decide what I'm more heartened by, the fact that over 90% of the world's people are not brain-dead glory-hunting cretins suckling greedily on the teat of Ragdom, or the fact that the dreams of "650 million" people were crushed in an instant by Sergio's right boot.
Yes it is a worldwide pestilence but we can keep it in check by repeatedly embarassing them on the pitch, as we did this year.

When asked by visitors to Manchester, I explain it like this.
"We love the plastic, tourist rags. Being a rag is a dirty job and we are very grateful they do it, otherwise we might have to do it ourselves. We love them to come here and spend their money with Mancunian City fans in hotels, shops, bars and cabs, who then use that money to spend on City."
I explain that "The plastic rags put millions into City's coffers" and then I thank them.
