    I don't hate Everton lots of Liverpool fans feel the same. My earliest games were the FA Cups between Liverpool and Everton, seeing all the fans sat together was amazing.

    Liverpool fans outside of Liverpool you must be talking about? I guess it's not the same for them.

    My old man and all his scouse mates hate them. They call them bitter horrible little bastards. He said the other day that the one thing he wants before he passes away is to see Everton relegated. I understand that because these sort of feelings are very similar to the rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland.

    I can't see how they've impacted on us, what has impacted on us is having our own owners saddle us with a billion quid in debt while City have truly unlimited funds to do whatever they want with, as any idea of FFP is completely out of the window, and we all know it.

    Yes, United has spent loads, poorly. But that's how you acrue a billion quid worth of debt to be absolutely frank. Tough **** on us I guess.

    And none of that billion was spent on infrastructure by the way, none. Not a ****ing penny. You can't even buy a pint at Old Trafford. They only sell warm bottles of pish because the concourses and the leisure facilities are completely ****ed.

    So, while City have a very good looking recent net spend, net spend doesn't reflect the shiny new facilities they have and the fact the were given their stadium by Manchester Council, or whovever owned it post Commenwealth games. Free, gratis, poor old City need a new ground so here, have this one.

    I happen to sit on the same side as you, I don't really care about what they do and how they spend, I'm more concerned with United getting our house in order and managing the club well so the team can compete again.

    This idea though that City are this altruistic existence who just happened to find a money tree and spend the benefits of that very sensibly is bollocks though. They have been fudging their accounts from day 1 in of all this.

    How people react to this is up to them though. It doesn't really bother me as I've sat alongside City in their various levels of ****eness to excellence all my life and they are what they are, irrelevant in the grand scheme of things to me.

    Whether they are guilty or not, and let's be honest they have enough money to steer the result whatever way they want, it is weird it taking so long.

    I mean for **** sake, they've more or less now just comepleted the league, it has been celebrated, so if there were to be point deductions (there won't be) what season would that fall in?

    If you think that's bad, how about Aubameyang getting a leaugue winners medal for playing 20mins for Barcelona this season.

    Thoughts on Russel Martin Chief? I'm a tad underwhelmed on what I've read so far.

    Depends if you like the keeper and two centre halves passing back and forth to each other in the 8 yard area!

    And Swansea conceded a lot of injury time goals under him, so look out for that too.

    ****ing loads. They just used to sit back and knock the ball around with no intention of crossing the half way until they gave away a free kick, a corner, the ball, from which the opponents inevitably scored.

    Think they'd have been third but for all that bollocks. They are pretty good when they decide to attack and shoot.
