"This year, we finished our season in first place"

[bluej]

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."

I've just checked the league again and nope, they definately finished 2nd.

[david yearsley]

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

[1950]

1-6

There's your goal difference Mr Arnold.

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

[Bear60]

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

Nice one. Says it all. :-)

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.

Now we know the real reason for taggarts nosebleed. They're all sniffin the cola.

Taggarts nosebleed might be a good milestone. Maybe 50 posts?

[Wonderwall]

Shit like this makes me smile. They are truly shitting themselves

[Clowncrete]

pfft lol. I knew they would be they would be sour after the defeat but I didn't expect them to be this bitter.

[Tokyo Blue]

They have got to find some table for them to be top of.

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.
