Yep.Big game College (american) football is probably the closest thing to Premier league vibe for a USA sport (not saying it's that close). It's a blast.

And it was packed to the rafter for a preseason match as well! Impressive stadium and crowd.Roughly 4/5s of the stadium is actually built below ground level; the ‘nosebleed’ seats are only like three stories high.
Largest stadium in the western hemisphere per Wiki.
Yeah i guess City would have no issue filling that stadium with them controlling 80% of the greater Manc area and allYeah, it's impressive. Preseason game too.
Team viewer won't be paying but the world's biggest club couldn't get anyone else to sponsor them so they are keeping team viewer on for free.
May i be the first to say, on to day of all days, they are scum, have been scum for ever and will always be scum. There is no more proof needed than look at their half wit, deluded and scruffy customers who struggle to know what colours to wear.
They really are scum of the highest order, mind you they have had enough practice.
Time they were put back in their box
SCUM
I had to turn the TV off, Even looking at the red cnuts puts me in bad form.
fecking shit red cnuts

First time ever reading a rather indicative Bluemoon post?Jesus wept. Is he alright? Think someone is taking it a bit too seriously.

They are the most bitter and twisted bunch. All the cheating success they've had and they still have a huge chip on their shoulder about United.
I actually attended United v/s Liverpool at the Michigan stadium in 2018. We lost 4-1. Travelled all the way from Boston with my 1.5 year old to see the game. It was a great experience but an awful performance from us.

They've always had such an inferiority complex. I still remember their boasts about their massive floodlights at Maine Road.
Didn’t they also have the widest pitch in the land?

Thought the same as well, we walked out a few minutes after the final whistle and by the time we were on Wembley way there were loads of blues around, it just feels all of this is wasted on them.Wasn't sure where to put this, but after the game yesterday the United fans en masse left the stadium, by the time we got out there was a number of City fans already leaving before they couldn't conceivably have lifted the cup yet, some with young kids too, I mean go to the cup final and leave without watching the team lift the trophy especially when you have kids and stuff I mean its a small thing but it stuck with me last night and into today
I saw a reply recently from some city fan to a tweet about United that asked "How big are their floodlights?" I didn't get it until now
Didn’t they also have the widest pitch in the land?
Yes, I think I remember something about this. I know we used to call them the "massives" as a result of these ludicrous boasts.
To be fair, that might be because there's only like 7 posts per page on that forum. Dunno how people even use itJust went over onto Bluemoon for a mooch about.
At the start of every season, they have to create a new United thread. If they didn't do this, the rolling thread would be 100 thousand pages long. So they start a new one, so that people don't see how messed up in the head they are. The United thread is always at the top of the page, because half of them never leave it.
The thread is already 300 pages long and the season doesn't start for another 4 weeks. That really takes some dedication.
You can only admire the level of interest in everything United related that consumes their lives on a daily basis.
I suppose that most of them have gone too far down the road to turn back now, even after winning the treble, they are still riddled with it.
Twisted up inside.
Heh
I just had a look and it's already reached 3,000 posts in less than a month! That's a pretty intense expression of bitterness. Compare that to 20K here over 13 years.To be fair, that might be because there's only like 7 posts per page on that forum. Dunno how people even use it
any mention of Mendy signing for french side Lorient just two days after having his acquittal for rape charges of two women???
And I was there! Loved La Marca editing the aerial view making it look like there were a lot more Real fans. It was overwhelmingly United fans in red or white away kits and shirts. Was a pretty cool day.I'm not certain, but I think it was this one. Michigan. A crowd of 109,318 for a preseason!

Every time they click on a new page, the site creator gets paid via the advertising revenues. That is why he has limited it to 7 posts per page, because he gets more money every time they click on a new page and a new ad comes up.
His name is Ric, and he has actually sussed it all out, because he has a load of volunteer saddo's who moderate the site for him, while he does sweet FA. They get nowt, and the bluemoon minions just carry on click click clicking all day and Ric gets paid for it. Nice

I found this hilarious so I googled "Bluemoon ric" to see if it was true and the very top result was a tweet from him about United.
It's kind of sad. I hate Liverpool but its not why I support United. City fans (at least on that site) seem primarily to just hate United and aren't satisfied with being successful without complaining about United. Maybe they feel their success is hollow too?
Jesus man. The amount of shet you need to go thru in thay shitty 1990s site to get these content deserve a medal of valour in itself. Quality.I enjoyed the Bluemoon parody thread from earlier this year.

I love reading some of their made up stories about encounters with United fans
Coming up next on 'Things That Didn't Happen', we'll hear a City fan's tale about how a United fan approached him in Tesco being all smug about the 2-1 win. Needless to say, the City fan put him in his place by reminding him that City's net spend last summer was significantly lower than United's net spend... the United fan was then left gobsmacked as the City fan did 3 celebratory backflips and promptly left Tesco whilst receiving a round of applause from the entire supermarket.

The story has to follow a certain criteria. The setting needs to be a really mundane, working class existence. For example...Gorton market, A bookies in Collyhurst or a factory in Audenshaw. The main protagonist is always just going about their own business, when they are suddenly confronted by an arm chair rag, in a full United kit. The rag blurts out a faux pas of cataclysmic proportions, and is suddenly put back into their place with hilarious consequences and with the full support of any other people who happen to be nearby. The altercation significantly improves their day.
"I was at the butchers, in Crumpsall, and this rag tw** was giving it the billy big bollix in his rag top. He's never been to a game in his life. The cockney cnut mouthed off that, "21 was coming", so I told him that ,"The only number 21 he's ever gonna see, is if he waits at the bus depo across the road! Should have seen his face, then he dropped his sausages and everyone cheered. I just walked down the street laughing to myself. Like a king."

"Met this Rag at the bus stop this morning, he was wearing a full zebra kit, despite it snowing in Stockport. Had a big grin on face when he saw my City hat. I enquired if he had something to say. Turned out he wasn't even from Manchester, the cockney cnut. He said, "Manchester is red." I asked him if he could find Manchester on a map, and all the people at the bus stop starting laughing, then the bus came and he stepped into a massive puddle, and his zebra shorts fell down and everyone cheered, including the bus driver who drove off without letting him get on. Proper made my day it did."

"I was in the gym, benchpressing 100kg as I always do, when some Rag walked over, tapped me on the shoulder and tried explaining to me that Rashford actually wasn't interfering with play. He thought he'd won the argument and walked over to the rowing machine to start his workout. Shortly afterwards, I started distracting him by jumping over the rowing machine, he took his earphones out and asked me 'what the hell are you doing?!'... I quipped back with: 'judging by your logic mate, I'm not interfering with what you're doing'. A group of guys around us burst into laughter and patted me on the back. 5 minutes later, the Rag left the gym out of embarrassment".

"Was driving the fork lift at work, and the shift leader who is an armchair rag, put up this big MUFC flag up at the office window. He's never been to a match in his life, dunt even come from Manchester. He's from Warrington, near London. He was giving it the Billy Big Bollix in the canteen. He chirped up, "Have they found Haaland yet, he's been missing since Saturday." Quick as a flash I said, "How the fcuk would you know? The last time you set foot inside Old Trafford, Remi Moses was ankle deep in a swamp. And Martin Edwards was peeping under toilet cubicles." Everyone in the canteen cheered and he sloped off back to his office with his tail between his legs. Haven't seen him since."

He looked at my pigeon and said summat, but I don't understand cockney, so I said to him, "I know you lot like your dodgy meat, but this is a 500 quid racing pigeon, so feck off back to London, and eat swamp rats, you fat cnut." Should have seen his face. Then he dropped his fries in a puddle and everyone cheered. Even my pigeon let out a whoop. I've been tugging away at myself ever since."

I was leaving the Middleton branch of help for hero's, when to my amazement, right there in the mall was Bryan Robson and Fred the Red selling tickets for rags games, and he was practically giving them away for a couple of quid, most of it going into his own pocket for pints. I went over and said to him, "I know you spent most of your career on your arse, but I never thought you'd stoop this low." And no word of a lie, Fred the Red took his head off and it was Peter Schmeichel, and we all ended up having a scrap. Robson was done after one punch because his shoulder immediately dislocated, but Schmeichel kept lunging at me like a starfish, so I kicked him in the bollix and he went down like a sack of shit. I stood over him and said, "This is our city, you pig botherer, so feck off back to London, before I take my belt off." And I casually picked up my carrier bag of shopping, and walked over to the bookies and all the blokes in there cheered and gave me a pat on the back, because all of them are top blues like me. I even got a free bet out of it. Couldn't make it up!

Is anybody else feeling completely disillusioned with the way football is at the moment?
If I'm honest, it isn't going to stop me watching it, or being a fan - but I think the money involved is just totally unacceptable. Especially when you consider what is happening in the real-world that we all live in (mortgages/rent shooting up, people can't afford food or heating, people living on the street).
The money footballers receive has been daft for a long time. £10,000 a week, then turned into £100,000 a week, which has then turned into £200,000 - £300,000 a week becoming the norm for a top players salary (this is before their contracts with Nike/Adidas etc). But now (though he is unlikely to go there) Mbappe has been offered £1.9m A DAY, to go and play in Saudi Arabia! £58m a month! It is just not right, and they shouldn't be allowed to even offer it. If the Saudi's have that sort of money available to just give away, why aren't they doing something good with it in the world!? Instead of giving it a footballer. All they are paying for is his name and image - at £1.9m a day, where is the incentive for him to actually play well?
Transfer fees don't bother me too much (though they are ridiculous too) but at least they stay in the football system for a while and the money gets passed down to the lower leagues eventually. But, I guess it still ends up in the players pockets in the end!
I went to watch Manchester Giants Basketball last year, and couldn't believe how good the players were after the game. Kids were allowed onto the court to have their photo taken with the players - who were more than happy to hang around and do so. In football, the players are ushered off by Security and you have to hang around for 1-2 hours after a game if you wanted to see them, and even then there is a barrier and security - and the best you can do is wave at them.
I even had to unfollow all the City players on Instagram over the last few weeks as I couldn't bear to look at the photos and videos they posted of them hiring luxury yachts for a week, or staying in huge Villas without a care in the world for how much it actually costs - whilst I'm sat at home getting anxious about my mortgage going up a few hundred quid a month.
I know I'm ranting - and I completely appreciate that for them to earn this amount of money they also have to train and work very hard, and accept being scrutinised by thousands of people every week, and have very little privacy when they step out of their house etc. But, I still don't think this warrants the amount of money they receive.
I'm also probably jealous, and obviously wouldn't turn it down if it was offered to me - but I would certainly give away/do some good with a large part of it, because lets be honest, who really needs that much money per week? I'd give my right bollock to get £100k a year!
