I'd of thought 70% of Manchester kids choose City now, around the world their recruitment of revenue fodder (yes, we do it too) must be slowing down now. Why would anyone in Malaysia or USA choose them these days, even less when Pogba departs (again)
I'm not that arsed how many supporters they have, either in Manchester or around the world, when I first started going the match in 1980 I think they had bigger crowds which wasn't surprising considering the shite the city was going through, fact was they were fucking grim, the papers loved them and they were seen as a glamour club but in terms of what we were doing they were a fucking irrelevance apart from whenever we played them, maybe a bit of a cheap laugh when their result was announced and some taunting, or worse if you saw some of the banners at finals etc
That's all they were and for now they're firmly back in that box, they'll probably win things again in the future as they're too big and have the money but they'll never dominate again, just think loads of our support have grown up during the Ferguson era so like their spoilt support it's all they know and they "hate" them for it, the genuine hate had nothing to do with them being good or cheating/dodgy decisions or any of that shite and was more down to politics & support being made up of angry young men etc
Right now we're a million miles away from them but there's still people crying cos they've had some decisions that will have no bearing whatsoever on what we do, actually today's might have as had they not got them they could be too far adrift when they play City in a game that could affect
US and that is all that matters, either way we'll finish well above them so I hope the c*nts are spawny as fuck in the next two league games, after that I couldn't give a fuck as I'll hopefully be too pissed
