Wonder why the Arabs not buy county.

It was very harsh of nev mrboj after all there were some very dodgy decisions in that first game and you should really have gotten the two penalties in the return fixture. In truth you should have been champions and won the FA Cup that season but for the absence of VAR an all.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You as a City fan seemed to have entered the fray, as it were, shortly after Liverpool knocked you out of the CL last month And the rest of Nev's post was spot on too. Why as a cockney (I presume you are but you might be from Hull) would you know anything about Manchester / Liverpool? What's your knowledge based upon - have you lived in the north-west? Mancunian or Scouse parent? Anything? No? Then keep out of a subject you know bugger all about na khrap! (to even bring in to it the recent games between City and Liverpool as the background to my attitude to Liverpool/scousers shows your complete lack of knowledge/history between the two cities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I'm willing to play: So City's main rivalry is against our neighbours from outside of Manchester, in Stretford. Bury, Oldham and Rochdale rarely are in the same division as City but have lots of City fans living there. Stockport is the area outside of Manchester with the most City supporters these days, but now they are semi-professional playing deep down in National League North. Not so much rivalry against Bolton and little with Wigan (isn't that in liverpool?). For anyone with an interest in football in the north-west i'd recommend reading the excellent tome 'Manchester - A Football History' by Gary James.

Yes it's really funny Manchester only has one team playing there any team outside the centre itself are not welcome ?bit like saying no team play in London which is true but all the teams down their class themselves as from London, but United we are not welcome no more. 2 hours ago, mrbojangles said: Ha, ha.

Bredbury Blue Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Can't change facts boys. Old Trafford is NOT in Manchester (it's in Greater Manchester but so is Wigan) and therefore it's around a century that Man U have not been a Manchester club - yes it does rile the reds. After being top dog for so long, it's got to be upsetting that the noisy neighbours keep finishing higher and winning the Premier than ManU.

Yes you are the bank but it's not out of other teams grasp to compete and if success comes our way it shall be much more of a victory than yours ever will be. Someone said it recently, hollow and I understand any success you guys have had is more than you ever dreamed so you are content but on this thread I think we can smell a win soon enough, if we continue and it will be worth the wait given it will be done through hard work and determination, not financial exertion. So take your discussions and hollow victories back to where they are relevant. Course your a manc too your not from a Stockport postcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there are so many London teams in the Premier League (6 or so) , playing the team closest to you (in distance) isnt considering to be a big issue , its not like Liverpool or Manchester where its the red half against the blue half of the city . The Liverpool & Manchester derbys usually have some significance between the two teams because they are both trying for a higher league position against each other and thats usually not the case between Chelsea and Fulham . Chelsea view Fulham as being just another match and the vying for the higher league position is between Chelsea Spurs and Arsenal (To be Londons top team) .
