Is quite funny watching this thread at the moment. It's just a dick measuring contest between Utd and City fans with the occasional sensible post from Robbie Rotten and LGJM

The majority of it is quite sensible debate, when we had keithcun and even Lenny the loiner it was a good crack, most of the City fans and Liverpool fans are fair and reasonable, and offer a balanced view on all things including United. It's just one individual who seem's to make it his daily mission to come on here and rant about how brilliant City are, and how crap United are, and embarrass himself on a daily basis.

I can't remember anyone, anywhere saying that Wes Brown is/was/ever could be world class to be honest. If so they would get laughed out of town.

And I can't honestly remember anyone saying Silva is the worst signing in PL history either. You need to get off this downer you seem to have on Nited and Nited fans.

Nited have some very good footballers. They also have some average footballers and they have some not very good footballers for the very top level of the game. So do City. So do Chelsea. It's not hard to acknowledge other teams and/or other players.

I meant the fact that none of them live within 100 miles of Manchester.

Fair enough. I'd say that is the same for all top clubs. I have friends who claim to be die hard Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd fans. Between them they have seen their teams play about 10 times and some haven't even made a pilgrimage to their clubs ground. Joke I tell thee!

Serious? I remember the term ‘best natural defender in England’ being attached to Wes Brown by United fans on a regular basis and over a considerable period of time. There were plenty on United forums saying that he should be picked ahead of Terry for England. Maybe you only talk to sensible United fans. Certainly not the same United fans as myself. Maybe I didn’t actual live in Salford for a while, go to school there etc..

And I can't honestly remember anyone saying Silva is the worst signing in PL history either. You need to get off this downer you seem to have on Nited and Nited fans. .

Maybe not worst signing (that view was only held by a number of people), but ‘guaranteed flop’ was pretty much the consensus. Go and have a look on Red Café and Red Issue and see for yourself.

Nited have some very good footballers. They also have some average footballers and they have some not very good footballers for the very top level of the game. So do City. So do Chelsea. It's not hard to acknowledge other teams and/or other players.

Just because I don’t rate some United players, how do you come to the conclusion that I don’t acknowledge the talent of players?

Just because I don’t fall for what the likes of SKY and Clive Tyldsley tell me, I will always have a different opinion to the majority on here.

Tears of happiness. I am happy all of the time as I know I am not a scouse or a plastic scouse living in a hovel. Makes me grateful.

If losing upset me so greatly, I guess I chose the wrong teams to support.
