He's a Sir. Rafa is just a waiter.Didn't SAF criticize Rafa for calling Everton a small club? You can just tell how much he despises City where it is blatantly obvious

Don't know if I like that, we got the last laugh, no need to lower to their standards, City know they dropped a bollock in signing him and paying him as much as they do, we don't need to remind them, we're a class above them!
Surely the difference is this hasn't been put out by the club or any official body directly attached to it, but by the supporters/supporters trust.
A bit of banter amoung supporters is fair game as long as its not clubs stooping to the same level.

Small time shit from MUST.
At least the club didn't pay for it...
I thought it was pretty good, it's obviously meant in jest. Great work by @beardedgenius as always.
I thought it was incredibly unfunny.
The situation is farcical in the extreme regardless, and the banner didn't make it any funnier, in my opinion.

Why so? It's wound up our bitter cousins. He who laughs last, etc. Job's a good 'un.
Sinking to their level.
Nice banner!Wonder what Tevez is thinking right now...
How so?
I'm with you here. Its not MUST sinking to City's level, its meant to be humorous.
Those comparing the MUST billboard with City's attempt are confusing apples with pears. MCFC paid for their "Welcome to Manchester" effort out of the club's cash. MUFC have never spent any money winding up City.
However MUFC's fans have always done so - the City Ticker, the 25th Year Anniversary, now this. The bottom line is that United fans dominate Manchester - we don't need our club/owners to wind up City, we do that as and when we please. The city is ours.

can someone please xplain to me what that even means?
What bit are you struggling with?
Whats the point of MUST again?Why so? It's wound up our bitter cousins. He who laughs last, etc. Job's a good 'un.
To gain a meaningful stake of MUFC for the fans.
And spending money having a dig at City progresses that in what way?
It raised MUST's profile in the media and increased MUST's membership.
Not that that was the reason it was done. It was done because MUST are - shock horror - United fans who love to wind up City fans.
The previous poster campaigns didn't cost any money at all by the way. Not sure if this one did or not.
What was MUST's banner?
I've heard it didn't. Someone reliable on twitter said it, don't remember who. Feeky, possibly?

. Is it the same BeardedGenius who posts, or used to post, on the CAF?The poster itself...what does it mean?
Probably not - MUST certainly have media owners with properties in the city centre who are sympathetic, and this is very much the sort of thing a media owner would do with spare inventory.
That is quality. Takes a fair bit of wit that.
Phoenix Fund ftw? As long as they're using that large sum of money collectively, hey?
This entire thing is funny in a way, just not funny enough for it to have happened. I'd have taken the smug satisfaction of knowing they fluffed up without ever having to say it over a cheap laugh. It's not the last laugh, it never will be with Tevez.

OK I maybe completely wrong, but weren't MUST banging on about how the Glazers screwed us with the "Ronaldo money" and us not signing Tevez was proof that we had no money to spend etc.
Seems a bit hypocritical that they now cite "Fergie's managerial judgement".

Revisionism at its finest. I'd never have expected such hypocrisy from the organisation.
The money in the Pheonix Fund belongs to the beneficiaries of the Trust and will - along with any interest made on it - continue to do so until the beneficiaries decide otherwise. That's how Trusts work under English law.
As for dear old Carlos - I think we can be sure that whatever happens, Man City will not have the last laugh. The poor feckers never do.
I have no idea why people are over-analysing the situation or having jabs at MUST. It' s just a laugh by our fans winding up theirs/their club. Just like singing 35 years - they were well aware that they hadn't won a trophy in a while and that we'd lifted one or two, but that didn't stop us rubbing it in
Whilst I'm no fan of must for a number of reasons, I thought this was pretty good and a harmless way of laughing at our rivals.
Why some of you are digging at our own fans having a big laugh at city's expense, I have no idea. It's not at all like their poster which came from the club. I'd have thought the fans getting the chance to stick two fingers up to those lot should be lauded not derided!

I think it's funny, well done to the MUST. Not sure why people are getting irritated by this here.
Whose getting irritated or deriding MUST for it
