tick tock....

The irony of a hurt rag joining a city forum, the day after we confirm the most sought after manager in the world, to tell us how he isn't worried, is definitely not lost on me.

Pmsl

I was half hoping this joker would actually post something worth reading dub but Im going to have to be let down on that one.

I let him.on in the hope he wasn't a complete bellend as I like to hear non city opinions as well. As long as they are balanced.

Sorry folks. The twats a gonna

What? We're allowed 5xwhinger but we can't keep him.
City. Ruining football forums. The injustice of it all.

What's the trophy called for the worlds biggest kit deal?

Don't know but it's just below the Annual Net Spend Shield

I know there is one for biggest attendance in a pre-season game but again the name escapes me...

Your fanbase is the barometer of how big a club you are. The amount of drivel spouted by many ABU's about how all Utd fans are glory hunting cockneys is laughable. Do people really believe people are coming from all over the country to OT.

Utd had the biggest attendances even in the lean years before the PL started. It may surprise you to know that the highest ever attendance at the old Maine Rd was for a Utd match when we were sharing the stadium.

You have won 4 trophies since 2008 & have expanded the Etihad. You are still failing to put bums on seats. This points to you reaching a saturation point with your fanbase. We on the other hand are maxing out at 75,000 & building work is soon to start to increase capacity to 95,000. We also recently signed the biggest kit deal in British history. This all hardly points to a club in decline.

As for your revenue streams..taking your blue tints off.. do any of you actually believe that your main sponsorship deals are from companies not connected to Mansour.

Your a mid table club playing Thursday night football you deluded rag cunt , get fucking real !

I dont mind sensible people coming on for a chat - but they need to get their facts right. The highest attendance at Maine Road for Manchester City v Stoke, FA Cup 1934 - 84,569. the season Rosler's Grandad had bombed OT both clubs had the ground packed and you could toss a coin as to which would end up highest. The country had had no football for years and there were millions of demobbed servicemen

Yes United have had the highest attendance for many years, but they didn't sell out pre-SKY except for 2 games - City and Liverpool. A relatively short period of success - up to about 2000 - took them up to this ground expansion (with no knee-room), large crowd and following.

City are merely doing the same but apparently it is impossible. Really? I bet the things he said was impossible in 2008 with City and have already come to pass is a very long list which I can't be arsed to compose.

City are growing by the day whilst United lose out on a generation of young fans and haemorrage fickle support in the far east due to the dire football on show from Moyes and now Van Gaal. And soon the nearly-relegated Mourinho.

It's good to visit red cafe and see quite a lot of posters now in touch with reality.

Not all it seems.

But he did have a point about our shit attendance because they say so on Sky pretty much every game.......so it must be true surely????

Surprisingly yes John, I genuinely got the impression that the penny has really dropped with the majority on that particular thread. Sadly this Classless92 bloke who's now in Room101, isn't one of them.
I'll repeat what I replied to him though, it suits us down to the ground for him to cling on to his opinion. It's an irrelevance not only to us, but to where football in general is going. The more of them that choose to leave the blinkers on, the better. More chance of them being blindly led down the path the Glazers are taking them.
