Following Our Nearest and Dearest Rivals, 2014-15

Until I clicked play I thought "oh just another angry Harry potter fan" but my my what an evil little bugger this one is.

 

What a disgusting human being. 

 

Imagine having this c**t represent your club. Vile. 

Ravel Morrison loaned to Cardiff until Boxing Day.

For me, I don't understand this move. I know him and Big Sam aren't the best of friends but whenever I have seen him play he has been the best player on the park for West Ham and I remember him completely destroying Tottenham at the Lane a couple years ago. I know he has had some legal/personal issues but I think his situation has been totally mismanaged by Sam and the whole West Ham set up.

He should come under my wing. I had a very successful time managing on Football Manager 2014 with Fenerbache and Villareal. Became a club legend and scored the winner in the Europa League and Champions League final.

We just understand each other.

But seriously Morrison needs an environment where there are few senior pros who are the off the pitch and defensive leaders, but he is the leader of the attack. I think QPR again would have been perfect for him, but their squad is too bloated

The rags plan on flying a banner over Real Madrid's next game with the banner reading the following, 'COME HOME RONALDO', The plan is that the banner will hopefully entice the former United man back to Old Trafford.

i can't understand why Rodgers hasn't taken Morrison to Anfield. By his own admission he is briliiant at taming a wayward talent and turning bad boys into angelic professionals - Suarez and now Super Mario, surely Morrison would fit in perfectly at Liverpool

Because of course you're going to make a life-changing decision based on a banner!

 

..............and how will he know it's not from Sporting CP? :laugh2:

Ronaldo is not dumb enough, His agent Jorge Mendes is Mourinho's agent and unless Van Gaal has them in the top 4 and threatening for the title next year, He will not bring his biggest asset back to the Premier League to play second fiddle to City and Chelsea, If Ronaldo didn't have issues with Jose I could honestly see Chelsea selling Hazard to PSG or in exchange to Madrid and making a humongous bid for Ronaldo. There would be no ffp problem because you have kept your books in shape for the past 3/4 years and the sale of Luiz, Hazard would accumulate £110 + million so if you wanted to make a silly bid for him, You could. There's no chance of him coming to us because of the rivalry with United so as I said Chelsea would be a good fit BUT you cannot ignore his issues/problems with Mourinho.

As great as Ronaldo is, Personally I would not swap Hazard for him.

 

Ronaldo is already a United and Real Madrid "legend", but Hazard can be one of our own making. He can be one of the best in the world with us and win the top titles under Jose. With players like Costa and Cesc joining him, we could be set to return to a Chelsea side as good as the one Jose first placed the house on after Ranieri built a solid foundation.

I always wondered why City fans called United fans "rags", can any of them enlighten me?

 

There are Many stories behind it, But the truth stems from the period in the 1930's when United were broke and were about to go into administration. They were so skint they couldn't afford to pay for a new strip and so we gave them our old away kit... Hence why to this day we call them The "Rags". It was apparently their own fans who coined the term.

It is funny how Ronaldo waited to talk down the comments until United were playing even worse

Why would Ronaldo ever want to leave Madrid?

> The worlds biggest club

> Gets paid an absolute fortune, Utd probably cant match & UK has 50% tax on high salaries

> Playing for his boyhood supported club

> Madrid buy top players every single year so he will always have a relatively exciting team

> Far superior weather, more in line with his natural climate

> Madrid is a hell of a lot better than Manchester

The only time I see him going and Utd getting him again is when Madrid deem him not good enough / on the way down, and that doesnt look like it will happen for a few years at least.

Is this City loan deal for Lampard leaving a bitter taste in anyone else's mouth especially now that there is talk of him staying the entire season?  I am not a sentimentalist by any means and he is a pro athlete and we let him go so he can ply his trade elsewhere to make a living,but its almost like its a big lie and scam all around if he does stay the season and scores a stack of goals....put the FFP and MLS aside would he have signed for City anyway despite him apparently saying he would never play for another PL side?...makes you wonder...well me anyway.

He'll be gone in January / Feb at the very latest. I think he'll have a desire to move on to the role he already agreed.

I honestly don't think Frank would have wanted to come to City if he knew beforehand. I think he was cornered in a way via the City Group. They are sneaky, scheming bar stewards

There's no way Frank would have signed a contract with NYC without knowing what the exact nature of the relationship with Man City was. He'd have known that City could loan him, his agent would have known the finer details. I don't think it was Frank's intention to do us over or anything, you could see from his emotions on Sunday that he felt really uncomfortable with everything that happened. Apparently the initial talk was of him going to Melbourne City, but once that fell through and the City proposal came up, being the competitive professional he probably thought that the environment there would be a good one to train in over the autumn and also to play a few minutes here and there. He'd hardly have to move and I'm sure he didn't think he'd be starting at this point; I mean, he wouldn't if Fernando was fit. But this is Football, things change very quickly.

 

He won't be staying for the whole season, he has a contract with NYC whose season starts in February/March.

And who owns NYC Celery....oh yeah Man City.  Would not be surprised in the least if he stays the entire season albeit off the bench on occasion.  Of course he knew the 'fine print' as fans we just got sucked in and mugged thats all....so what else is new?

Club legends should never play for another rival team in the same country IMO.

While we did say he could go and wasn't needed I suppose we had no control over where he choose and I do think he knew he could play with City potentially befor eit was done but that's just my own view.

Footballers look after no 1 in this day and age so we shouldn't be surprised.
