Busy was an understatement, it was fucking heaving. I went to 'Revolution' and
had some Vodka cocktails, very lethal, then staggered to 'Generation X.' Top
night.
Apparently the council will be shutting 10 Yards of Wilmslow Road for City's
'Victory parade.' And the team will be in a 'Radio Cars' Mini-bus.

On a nice sunny afternoon it get's the kid's out of the house. My neighbours

should imagine.

Did you pop into 'Yate's Wine Lodge' on the way from Picadilly Station as well
then?? Must have been a long journey from Euston, a very thirsty journey.

of course they would . Just because there were alot of people in Manchester
that night doesn't mean that they're all supporters , i know of at least 15
from work who went just to watch & they don't support Utd.

Wednesday night in the City centre I counted I counted 14 coaches all full
of Rags fans, all from Torquay, Great Yarmouth, Bristol, Kent need I go on.
On Granada news they were interviewing United fans in the pubs after the
game. 3 out the 5 people they interviewed had southern accents. I know
Manchester is a big City but the suburbs don't strech as far as Bristol
surely?

I think it's about 50:50 in (Greater) Manchester. What makes the
difference is that there are more United supporters outside Manchester
too.

But whatever, you can be sure that Wembley will be heaving with City
fans on Sunday!!! Don't ever forget that City continue to get
attendances that many Premiership clubs would be very happy with.

Come on you blues!

Take my advice Jackie Chan. Do not try to get me to slip up on my Mancunian
landarks...you WILL lose. For a start it's Yates's Wine Lodge. The DJ had his Queen's
greatest hits playing, not my cup of tea. Besides before I got to Yates's I could
have popped into the 'Goose on Piccadilly.' Not Whetherspoons as that was shut. Now
you go off back to the old 'joanna and sing some crap songs no-one knows, I know
where I live and I do not have to prove it to anyone.

You cannot fault the support Man U get, however if the rolls were reversed
and City did the treble, the streets of Manchester would be bursting with
Man City supporters and true blues.

I work in the City centre and in our office of 200 staff 2 man U fans
managed to get tickets for the FA Cup final, and I would say that there are
more true blues who go to Maine Road Regulary than Man U, does that tell you
something....The glory reds are bound to hatch if the team is as successfull
as Man U, and granted they are putting English football back on the map
(Thanks), but Manchester is a Mainly blue city.

One more question, in the main reception in the MEN Arena, the Major of
Salford and Stretford was there, but where was the Major of Manchester !!!,
he knows there is only one football team that comes from manchester.

Yeah but it's never going to happen so we'll never be able to test out
that little hypothesis will we?  Remember that piccy in the MEN
showing an empty City ground before some game? Where were you all

Yes, FA cup final tickets are in great demand. What "something" does
it tell you?

Jesus, for years you don't see a City fan on this group, then one win,
on penalties over the mighty Gillingham and they're here shooting
their mouths off about Manchester being blue.
    Do you know what would happen if United went down to the 2nd
division? The gloryhunters would disappear and then the rest of us
would get tickets and OT would still be a full house every week just
like when we were relegated.
   Manchester is a red city, always has been always will be. You know
it, I know it and every independent survey shows it. If you lot
concentrated on the standard of football your own team plays instead
of trotting out the same old cliches - as if they mattered -  we might
respect you a bit more.

Just keep wagglin your joystick and leave the footy to us.

I don't know about you but I felt like I was in the minority at school in
Manchester. There were a lot of City supporters and Liverpool were at the
start of their heyday so the glory hunting bastards started supporting them.

I for one wouldn't be surprised if there *are* more City supporters than
United's in Manchester. I know they made my life hell in the 70's

AWB, if you're going to criticise City, at least come up with
something that's genuinely wrong with the club, heaven knows there've
been enough to choose from. The loyalty of City fans is not in
question. We've lost count of the number of attendance records for
division 2 broken by City this year.

>Jesus, for years you don't see a City fan on this group, then one win,

The reason we're in "here", if you'd have bothered to look at the
message headers, is because this thread is crossposted to
both alt.sports.soccer.manchester.united and
uk.sport.football.clubs.man-city. It was started by red five well
before Sunday's play off final.

I'm rather pleased to hear you haven't had a City fan in the United
group for years. I wish I could say the reverse is true, but
unfortunately we get several inflammatory posts a week from juvenile
reds fans (and I don't mean red.five here) who think that the best way
to celebrate United's success is to troll other supporters' newsgroups
with a demonstration of their wit and sophistication - for some
reason, usually expressed in capital letters with an excess of
exclamation marks.
I know the majority of you would never indulge in such activities, but
if you can think of any way of keeping the little turds under control,
we'd thank you almost as much as we do for Terry Cooke.

CTID,

I answered a rather confrontational post. I don't post on other
groups, partly because of the reasons you mentioned and mostly because
I'm not a Liverpool, City, Arse fan and I don't think I belong
anywhere but in a group for my own team.

Sorry, but there's quite a lot of posts to look through and I don't
have the time or inclination to check where they come from. A good
idea for anyone might be not to cross-post half way through an
argument.

I know what you mean and although I don't agree with it myself it's

Of course I grew up in Manchester, In Fallowfield to be more precise,
Furness Road.

Never have I lived more than 5 miles from the Palace

Got caught signing on and working.

Sentenced to polish Liverpool's trophies. I hear he has less
work now than the Carlsberg complaints dept

Bollocks! there is no way that you can say there are more Blue fans than Man
U. Just by using your office as an example is crap. You may work in the city
but did you go to school there or were you brought it there. Well I was and
hand on heart I can honestly say that the city is definitely divided between
the two.

I am a native Mancunian!  I can grew up in Manchester during the 60's and
70's and can confirm (as most peple already know, that a large proportion of
UTD fans live way outside the Manchester area.  Match of the Day magazinew
did a poll last season to see which was the best selling replica shirt (sold
in City Centre stores) and 1. was Man City Home 2) Man City Away 3. Man Utd
Home.  Interestingly, the magazine illustrated that the best selling shirt
in London was Utd Home.  Work it out fore yourself!

City outselling Utd.

City Away outselling Utd Home. HAHAHA. Fuck off, you're taking the piss.

Quite rightly, I'll admit Utd have a lot of shirts.

Next poll should be, collectively, which clubs sells the most
shirts.......full stop.

Nuff said.

This same reasoning showed why David Ginola won player of the year. Whether
you like it or not, Spurs had ONE player worth voting for.......Ginola.

Utd had:-
Yorke - Top scorer with �12.6m tag on his head.
Beckham - Came back superbly from World Cup embarrassment.
Stam - Another big price tag, shaky start, shit World Cup, now Utd defence
can't do without him.
Keane - Last season injured, Utd won nowt. This season, back strong as ever,
Utd do treble.
Schmeichel - Another shaky start, announces retirement from English
football, finishes proving why he's still regarded as one of the world
finest keepers.

The players and writers have a list to choose from. Add ALL the votes
together for Utd's players and you would easily see that they took the
majority of votes. But because the votes were split, Ginola won.

There you go. It's simple isn't it.

    At your age I'd hope your spelling, punctuation and grammar might
be a little better.
    I too am a native Mancunian who grew up in Manchester during the
60s and 70s, and I say that most people in Manchester are really bored
with the bittermen making up stories.
   You can go away again now.

If you're going to sit there and criticise *his* spelling and grammar,
don't you think your own post should be perfect?  Learn to paragraph.
If your letter/essay/post is typed, you leave a line and don't indent
the paragraph.  If it's handwritten, you indent but don't leave a
line.

So I'd shut the fuck up if I were you.  Besides, it's a newsgroup
post.  Does anyone fucking care?

On another note:  While you won the treble, City got promoted and
happen to have more support in Manchester than you.  Oooh.  And you
call us bitter.  You can't deal with the fact that while United may
happen to win, City happen to have more home support.

Since when? And shouldn't there be a new paragraph after "paragraph"?

Anyone who says City have more home support than Man Utd doesn't live in or
visit Manchester. When United play, the pubs here are crowded and anyone who
has even driven through Manchester couldn't possibly fail to notice the
abundance of red shirts in comparison to blue.

It would be my pleasure to receive from you any MAN U staff through my email
adress which is: alexiad@otenet.gr

This is all getting a little tedious now children.  Does it matter? The fact
is United have a lot of support outside the Manchester area.  United get
crowds of 50 000. City in Division 2 get crowds of 30 000, but if you added
a similar amount of Southerners then City's crowds would be up to 60 000
:-)

Rubbish!! Where would they put them all then, Eastlands?
United get crowds of 50,000 'cos that's the capacity of their ground, we
could easily get 70 or 80,000 if we had the space....

The fact is there are actually MORE United fans in Manchester than City
fans, just visit the City Centre one day and I'm sure you will notice the
proliferation of Red shirts etc...

The 'we've more fans in Manchester' C**P that City put out is because of
Jealousy of the other half of the city, and not based on any facts at all. I
go back to my original post, we had support of approx 1 million people on 27
May, don't tell me they were all from London!!

Not sure if this bit has been covered, but how many fans would support Man
U.
if there were in our position last year, i.e. the old division 3 ???
Not 50,000 or 40,000 or 30,000 I bet ???
Just a thought...

By the time City make the move to Eastlands they should be back in the
Premier League so who knows. Obviously it only takes a couple of good
seasons and everybody jumps on the bandwagon.

If you go to London there are more United shirts than Arsenal shirts.
I have seen somewhere that the results of a MANCHESTER sports shops sales
were
"Number 1 selling Football Shirt     Man City Home"
"Number 2 selling Football Shirt     Man City Away"
and before you reply it wasn't the City Shop

Where's this 1million come from? There have been various reports as I have
said on this NG before. Some quoted 500 000 some quoted 250 000 some quoted
1million. The facts are they were not all United fans, some people went to
see what it was like to sample the atmosphere.  It has nothing to do with
jealousy it is just football fans. When United fans jibed Liverpool fans in
the 70's and 80's was that jealousy? I don't think so it was just football
fans being football fans. Me thinks you have not thought it through and are
just one of the "everybody hates us" brigade. In this country when people
make it to the top everybody wants to see them down again. Just ask The
Spice Girls and Glenn Hoddle

Err... you may have been taught to leave a pinky's width after a full
stop in school, Moddy, but on a keyboard just the one touch on the
spacebar will suffice.

I didn't bother with the rest of your punctuation - or the lack thereof,
and I completely overlooked your glaring grammatical errors.

Oh, and I fucking hate the Skies!

You might be. But I didn't split any. However if you are referring to my
closing paragraph, what I did split was the first person present
indicative.

And I'd like to close this post by telling you to bastard fuck off. Now
*that's* a split infinitive.

Where do they get this from?

I was born, and have lived in Manchester all my life, and can quite easily
say that I have known more Utd fans throughout all my years than City fans.

This isn't just something which has happened since Utd have been successful.

That is unless you confine the boundaries of Manchester to the exterior
walls of Maine Road.

No it isn't. The verb here is "to tell". There is no adverb that I can see.

Surely the inclusion of the word "bastard" is the adverb here.  It's very
tone modifies the context and/or meaning of the verb "tell", in the same way
an accepted "traditional" adverb would.

Remember, language is evolving all the time, so don't get bogged down with
text-book definitions.

No. try re-writing the sentence. The original poster thought that "to
bastard fuck off" was the split infinitive. If "to fuck off" was the verb,
then it it would have indeen been spit. In this case "to tell" was the verb,
and it wasn't split.

In fact the split infinative only applies to infinatives anyway, and is only
a pedantic pile of shit from Victorian transaltors of latin.

..pedantic?: moi?

There are many ways to split an infinitive. As well as using an adverb,
an infinitive can also be split using, for example, parentheses. If I
were to tell you to - and I am being pedantic here - remember the
correct spelling of the word "infinitive", then not only would I be
displaying such an example, but also pulling you up on your spelling.
Easy enough for you?

Oh, and by the way, Latin has a capital "L".
