Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
BM's reputation is the worst of them all on every oppo board that I browse.
Yeah these kids quite clearly need educating on the real rivalry,they have just grown up around city emerging as a threat.
They never got the chance to lord it over us that many in their entitled fan base think they deserved.
We've always had a richer neighbour usurping the poorer neighbour relationship. They get a new kitchen, we build an extension. They get a new car, we get a bigger 1. They mow the lawn & do some weeding, we have the front & back gardens landscaped. When they finally win the lottery & get the chance to stick it to us we've gone & bloody moved.
It now boils there piss that they get little credit for what they achieve as most see it as artificial. It's also galling to have your biggest rival rooting for you to win the title as the alternative to them is more unbearable.
This is the funniest shit I've seen in football
There are some good posters there, but on a whole it's not a great forum with people being entitled, aggressive and completely paranoid when it comes to refereeing and the CL. One of the worst forums I've ever read.
Conspiracy theories on the first page. Corruption and Richard Scudamore to blame!
It’s a cult of cnuts.
Funny that the fanbase of a a club who’s only won anything via vast Arabian investment thinks that marginally disputable decisions that didn’t go in favour of its £900m squad is in some way a breach of sporting ethics.
You a City fan?
It was a good forum once. Back before the turn of the decade. Then a lot of idiots were made moderators and slowly the rational users were banned to make way for nodding dogs who parrot myths about UEFA/FA conspiracies and think Nigel Farage is a stand-up bloke.
And will likely continue to do so. A lot of our fans are older now - the new generation of football fan sees United in the same way I saw Liverpool as a kid. I got into football around the 1992 mark. The slightly older boys who knocked around the park all wore those wretched Crown Paints and Candy Liverpool shirts.
I never understood why, because Liverpool hadn't won anything in my frame of reference. I knew they USED to win things, which explained why so many lads were wearing their shirts but it felt like a bygone era despite being only a few years prior because I never saw it personally.
That's we are becoming. I travel a LOT and the number of United shirts I see now in Asia, Africa and Latin America is diminishing. Lot more sky blue shirts, funnily enough, which wasn't a thing previously....
Undercover rags spotted.
So quick to become entitled. What would they do without Pep 
One of their fans wants rid of Pep??? That's unreal.
There are more and more starting to doubt him if you have a read of their post match thread
I haven't, but I might. That's unbelievable. I am seriously staggered by that. And we are supposed to be entitled.There are more and more starting to doubt him if you have a read of their post match thread
Its strange but it seems as though there's a re-bulid of sorts needed at City.
They've got some fantastic players but also some gaping holes. Look really poor at the back and definitely need another striker, plus Silva is in his final season so its 2 to 4 big signings needed - be interesting to see if Pep has that sort of (mini) overhaul in him.

They will be fine when they buy Sancho and Halaand
Silva and Aguero both over 30, Kompany and Yaya gone. That's the spine of their last decade, definitely need players to step up for them. KDB is their shining light, they'll have to pray he stays injury free over the next few years.
Fernandinho and Walker as well. Very significant rebuilding to be done and their younger players (bar Sterling) are nowhere near as good..
Yeah if they don't get in someone very good after Guardiola, they're in trouble, even with their financial might. Liverpool will be eclipsing our 20 soon
I
Clubs with success will always draw the most non local fans. I know plenty of Real, Bayern and Juventus supporters, but not a single Leipzig, Napoli or Espanyoll supporter.
We and Liverpool are in a special spot though. PL has always been the biggest in Europe and we have been the biggest clubs. I was born the year Fergie took over so my time as a United supporter has been 90% success. Yet i know A LOT of Liverpool supporters at my age who had experienced mostly misery, but were that because of their family
I have a one year old and i am going to make damn sure hes growing up to be a United fan. Hes got a United lunchbox, a fugly United onesie and i am going to buy him a jersey with his name on it when i travel to Manchester in a couple of weeks. If hes not a United fan in 10 years i have failed as a parent and as a fan
Hey, at least he'd be happy!
That would of course help, but they also need at least 1 CB and a replacement for Silva. Big investment needed IMO.

It'd be really entertaining if Guardiola left and their model ran out of steam, even with all of their wealth.

Liverpool won’t sustain this success. Once this team “breaks up” after this year, they’ll be in trouble.
Lot of luck involved in their situation. Klopp didn't even want Salah, he asked for some German clogger instead but was overruled. If they didn’t sign Salah, none of this would have happened.
Don't worry mate, we will eclipse them then later on! Its a full cycleYeah if they don't get in someone very good after Guardiola, they're in trouble, even with their financial might. Liverpool will be eclipsing our 20 soon
See, I'm not so sure about that mate. They keep proving us wrong.
"Wait until they're having to balance CL football with the league schedule, playing the way they do - they'll be knackered by January"> Didn't happen.
"Klopp is a serial bottler in finals, he's just bottled the biggest of them all - that was their best chance to win a major honour. Itll start falling apart now" > won the CL the following season and almost won the league at the same time.
"After coming so close to wining the title and failing, that might be the blow that breaks this team's spirit next season" > 11pts clear at the top at Christmas.
Klopp has made excellent signings. If I was a Liverpool fan, I wouldnt fear losing anyone from that starting 11 because I'd be confident Klopp will sign a great replacement. Likewise, like United, the Scum have got a ridiculously good tradition and reputation in the football world so now they're succeeding again they will be a HUGE draw for world class talent and prospects like say Jadon Sancho.
Liverpool's biggest threat, for me, is Klopp leaving. And if they're winning honours every season that might not happen because he genuinely seems to love life there. He's worshipped like a God by that lot.
As much as I hate them I have to say they are in a very, very good place right now in my opinion.
If the Dortmund situation has showed us anything is that the players under Klopp are playing out of their skin, shit will fall apart when he leaves. You can bet your last dollar on that players like TAA, Robinson ect ect won't be half the players they are today. It will probably start just before he leaves.
This is the City meltdown thread, not the Dippers appreciation thread. There's plenty of other threads for people to drool over Liverpool, I'm sure.
I tend to agree this isn’t a flash in the pan. What I do wonder is how they’ll cope when they have to replace the big names, that’s when things really do get tough and good managers become great ones.
From a United point of view I can see Liverpool winning 2 or 3 before we win another. Must be slightly galling for SAF to see that happen.
Really hope that Ferguson, like Busby, sees us win another title in retirement
Seeing as Klopp has a veto on all transfers, I don't really see how this adds up. He might have preferred someone else, but he clearly was ok with the signing.
Also, I would say that Klopp not preferring Salah is a point in Liverpools favor, and not the other way around. It means that we have a good transfer-system in place, able to identify players that are off other clubs radar without working with them previously. This makes Liverpool less reliant on Klopp, not more. It doesn't indicate luck, but a well built and professional operation.
Klopps ability to build teams is extraordinary though, and he will obviously be huge loss. If he has signalled that he is not willing to extend his contract, I am certain Liverpool will already be looking for his successor, and considering the track record lately I think the club might be able to find another great fit.
Corrected to reflect many posts I've made on Liverpool boards earlier this decade. And one or two sneakily on here.
To be fair if its the club making these astute signings then the signings will outlast Klopp.
Points to sustainability
