devils reject Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has revealed he wants to manage the Anfield club one day and knock Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson "off his perch". (Daily Mirror) Yeah right! What a fucking twat! Btw, great to finally have Berbatov on board. Somewhat pricey perhaps but I reckon he's gonna be a great signing. Tall, strong, brilliant first touch and an intelligent player. The final piece of the puzzle perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 after the 'drama' of the transfer deadline i had to chuckle at a couple of responses i saw on the BBC Website. 1..laughs at Man City buying Robinho for such a silly price,after all Abamovich would never have paid over the odds for any player...... i seem to remember they bought SWP and Shevchenko and have lost around 30/40 Mill on the resell price......... 2..Man City 'have ALWAYS' been the 2nd choice Team of all supporters............

Mekong Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Will Citeh's new owners rename the stadium "Middle Eastlands"? Just Heard that Keegan has walked out on Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils reject Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 That hardly comes as a surprise. He's walked out on just about every other managerial job he's ever had. The Messiah's not to good at handling pressure methinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Clubs who think have the most to fear from 'citeh; 1. Liverpool: Of the top 4 they are the weakest in the league. What will the loss of CL money mean to them? 2. Arsenal: Hate to say it but although I'd like to think otherwise, a bad season like a few years ago and we're not a CL team for a season. We have the money to cope but it gives AW and the board more of a reason NOT to buy players and invest in kids. 3. Man Yoo: Rivals are now richer. They still have that massive debt. If managed wisely 'Citeh' could get to the point they are no worse than runner up due to uninhibited spending. 4. Tottenham: While Blackburn, Villa, Everton and Pompey would love to get some CL football, the scum seemed to have bet the ranch on getting CL football. If it becomes the 'Big 5' and everyone outside is playing for uefa cup football, will the scum continue to spend as they have if they know no matter how much they spend, 5th is the best any club outside the new 'Big 5' will do? 6. Chelsea: Winning the title will be that much harder and now they have someone who can outbid them. 7. Villa: I think Lerner and O'Neil actually fancied themselves as having a legit chance at getting CL football. 8. The rest of the league. But does it matter to a Fulham, Sunderland or Wigan if Citeh has money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's all getting a bit silly. City need to do some serious work in the January transfer market, as Robinho (the 'ho' as he should now be named) is their only real star. I love that chavski missed out, I might stop laughing in a week or so, or I might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 City won't challenge this season. They'll buy as much as they can in the January transfer window but Robinho does not a dynasty make. Next summer they will go hell bent on players and play championship manager video but only for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicked this quote of the Redcafe. Don't know who wrote it but I thought it was pretty much spot on! Has anyone ever witnessed a more rapid abandonment of principles than that shown by City fans this week? For years they have banged on about being the peopleâ??s club; a football club that is still a football club as opposed to an organisation obsessed with money; supporters who were in it for the love of the club, the love of the game; 30 years and weâ??re still here; the true Manchester club; â??This is our cityâ?? and all that nonsense. An entire generation of fans who have built their identity purely on being whatever United are not. And what were United? A greedy, rich club that bought success with its vast wealth. Wealth which came before all else, acquired through disgraceful commercialism and a soulless disregard for the beautiful game. Fans who cared only about trophies and expensive signings, and who understood nothing of what it meant to be a true football fan - a City fan for example. But this is the United whose fans at least cared about retaining its identity as a Mancunian football club. When foreign owners with the wrong motives came sniffing round Manchester United, we fought and fought and fought to keep them away. We used every means legal, and some illegal ones too. We mobilised, we collected, we protested, we campaigned, we lobbied, we vandalised, we wrote, we phoned, we emailed, we rallied, we marched, we flash-mobbed, we rioted. We made it impossible for them to visit Manchester peacefully. And the loss of our club to people who didnâ??t give a toss about its identity and traditions meant so much that some of us walked away altogether. Home and awayers with decades of fanaticism to their names had decided that forming a new club, with the incredible effort that entailed, was the only alternative to seeing their club used as some egotistical bastardâ??s plaything. Contrast this with 1st September 2008. The only sound you could hear that day was that of 100,000 zips being simultaneously lowered as the blue quarter of Manchester collectively dropped its trousers and bent over, willing to be shamelessly violated by some slimy rich manâ??s cock. Not a shred of pride, not a momentâ??s defence of their supposedly salt of the earth club; just a panting mass, all ready to be anybodyâ??s bitch in exchange for money with which they can buy success. There really is only one true football club in Manchester, and itâ??s not Manchester City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Does anyone remember when United nearly went under? The grounds for my first divorce was because I remortgage the house to raise funds to finance the PLC, the ex wife in UK didn't understand me. I won't repeat the family history of my hometown team, and you cannot google it with Mekong. Amongst the "fine art" hung on the wals (I am useless at art so this is as the wife tells me) my 68 European Cup Shirt signed by George Best takes pride of place, closley followed by my framed STG 2000 of shares I refused to sell to the Glaziers.
