But with Liverpool, they've had a generation of new fans not accustomed to them being at the top of the league bar say once a decade.
Oh no they were a part of their academy, I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing the fact that they were sent their by their dads over out academy, because theirs is better.
Not to kids. When I was growing up, it took me many many years to find out that Liverpool were once a good team. I am being serious. I never saw them win things and had to rely on seeing the ex pool players with the caption "has won league 2 times, champions league 4 times etc" and I was like "what? when? how?" and then my pops explained that Liverpool were good when I was too young to appreciate football. This could happen to the next generation. Even knowing this, I didn't care about Pool until I matured a bit.
RVP's son preferred City's academy after training with both, which is perfectly normal just like there are tons of kids preferred United over them. Fletcher's twins were kicked out of the academy after someone found out they trained with City. Neville's son was never with us at the first place I believe. Anyway non of those are good talents I heard except for Neville's kid and he's with Valencia now. We have Butts, Ibra and Giggs's son in the academy but unless they're really good it hardly matters.
I'm bookmarking this post for future reference, and will revisit it in 5 years time when I can show you how wide of the mark you are. The notion that Guardiola has no interest in promoting players to the first team from our academy is utterly laughable even by your own shite posting standards.
The fundamental flaw in your argument is that the past has already happened...

By the way, can you please explain to us all why you were trawling through a rival forum and bleating about it on here less than an hour after United had won the League Cup on Sunday evening? After all, worrying about what City fans were saying at that point would be the last thing on the minds of every true United fan as they would've surely been too busy celebrating. Then again, I think you've proved time and again that you're not, never have been, and never will be a true fan of their club. You only exist to obsess about City
That doesn't make sense.
I was referring to this paragraph in the article
It's one thing offering congratulations to some mates on winning the title - most of us are capable of doing that when we're not sniping at each other - but are you seriously claiming you were actually pleased about it? Then again, you've not specified which title win it was and I'm guessing it was the one where we pipped Liverpool as I doubt you were in too great a mood in the aftermath of our 2012 title win.City won the lottery, and have had a couple of good years. Top players coming in, top manager(s ?), couple of titles. And.... all the ones I know are STILL as bitter as ever. It would take decades for that to change (imo), and we'd have to get relegated at some point too.
I'll never forget congratulating a few City fans when they won the Prem. They were not happy with that at all. A RED being pleased for them!!! Outrageous. I was supposed to be sobbing in my beer for rest of eternity. Sorry Blues, thats not how we roll. Sustained success makes you more humble and able appreciate other teams when they play good football. Good luck with that
Enjoyed listening to that. Thanks for sharing the original iPlayer content.
Perhaps, but whoever said that must also be suggesting that kids don't hold Man. Utd. in as high a regard as they used to be held by older fans because they see Man. City with all of their big-name players, modern infrastructure, social media presence via YouTube and other such platforms, etc. That makes sense as I now see more kids in the Middle East with Man. City shirts on than before. However, I don't know what it's like in Manchester.
I was at OT when we gave Ronaldo a standing ovation for scoring a hatrick for Real Madrid. I was in Milan when we applauded Gatuso for a great performance for AC Milan, and in the Nou camp for a 3-3 where BOTH sets of fans gave everyone a standing ovation, AND all drank together on the Ramblas afterwards. I was at Wembley in '95 when we lost to Everton, and can actually be seen on the official BBC vid applauding their players with the FA Cup (thankfully still, the only final I've ever seen us lose)
It's each to their own though as I alluded to in my previous post. Anyway, you've clarified that it was the occasion when we beat Liverpool to the title rather than the, cough cough, title win in 2012 so I'm not really surprised as I know plenty of reds who sooner City won it instead of them. In fact, there was a point during that run-in when the media wankathon was in full on overdrive over Liverpool possibly winning it where part of me was wishing we were battling you lot for the league instead of Liverpool, because we really wouldn't have heard the last of it if they'd won it, whereas I'd had years and years of getting used to United winning stuff and the novelty wouldn't have been anywhere near as great as Liverpool winning it for the first time in what would've been nearly a quarter of a century.
Fair reply that, cheers
