The Laughing Thread, the gift that keeps on giving.

Ferguson famously said in 2009 that City would never be top dogs in his lifetime but they have dominated football since he retired. "You have to see that comment in the context it was made. He couldn’t envision the people coming in with the money and that backing," Meulensteen added.

I thought he was asked the question AFTER our takeover?

It was the season we’d signed Tevez, after we’d been taken over.

The actually question from the journo was - “Will United ever go into a derby as underdogs?”

And Fergie, while he was walking out of the press conference said, “not in my lifetime”.

[Original Dub]

Exactly.

Isn't it funny how history can be made up. Just like the daily newspapers.

Case proved then. Meulenstein, however you write it, another Rag talking utter shite

Ferguson also said in the same press conference that City aren’t United’s “derby”. It’s Liverpool.

1. Liverpool and Manchester are two different cities, it can’t be a derby
2. If Liverpool were their rivals, why not have a banner from the Stretford End counting down the years since they won the league? Instead of for us?

Our rivals now are Bayern and Real. United’s are Brighton and Newcastle.

correct, a year after - the Sheikh bought us in 2008.

True, but he fell for the "They'll soon get bored with their new toy" line.

Bitter old cunt. Whenever we beat them I think of him and his pain. It gives me great glee.

Scumbags' share price down from $21.50 to $14.26 in a couple of weeks. Sir Jim has lost half a billion already!

That's one thing I hate over here. 'Derby' has become synonymous with 'big game between clubs who have some beef'. So you'll see the Chelsea v. Liverpool 'derby' advertised on TV. I'm not sure if they use the word for games between clubs from different countries (like Real v. Bayern), though.

I shouldn't worry too much. Once government, whether local or national get involved, there will be soo much red-tape it'll be years in the planning stage
