Nothing to do with that. Back in the day and we're talking 60s or something, City let United use their kits because we were skint.
Hence, us using their rags. It's childish, pathetic and small-time on the level of singing about Hillsborough, it's so back in time.
Happy to be corrected but pretty sure it's that.
Rules of the United Thread. ( Blue Moon forum - Baby boomers edition)
1) Say the word 'Rag' over and over, like it actually stings our eyes, which it doesn't. Most United fans find it quite endearing. It's like that Monty Python sketch, "We are the knights who say NI."
2) Say something about Munich. Mostly to deflect away from the horrific tragedy, and paint MUFC in a bad light. Completely ignoring the capabilities and finances available to football clubs in the 1950's.
3) Say something about Louis Edwards meat factory circa 1966. (Louis Edwards has been dead 43 years!)
4) Mention the Martin Edwards toilet cubicle rumour. (Martin Edwards retired 22 years ago!)
5) Try to make Sir Alex Ferguson relevant in every post, and not an 82 year old man who has been retired for a decade.
"I don't care what they say about his brain operation, he's still running that club from his secret lair inside Mere Golf Club. And he controls all of the VAR decisions."
6) Mention Ryan Giggs/Wayne Rooney shagging habits. Love a bit of tabloid tittle tattle.
7) Act like schoolboys and make up childish and non PC names for players and managers. Camel Gob, Ratboy, Gashford, Slur Alex, Slabhead....yawn.
8) Repeat all of the above for 50 years, even though the majority of their fans under the age of 30, cringe themselves inside out, every time they trot down this laboriously well worn path. Some of them have 50 thousand posts, mostly on the same subject, yes Manchester United. They are riddled with it. It tears them up inside. They never fail to make me laugh, those Berties.
