Interesting stuff and something us United fans have to hear from rival fans all the time.
Seeing as its a popular topic I thought we could spice things up a little bit and see what our ever so perfect rivals have on there no doubt immaculate history....
Liverpool FC - Former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar fought hard to clear his name after he was accused of match fixing back in 1994.
The Sun newspaper had accused Grobelaar of taking bungs in the region of £40,000 to concede goals against Newcastle United.
Grobbelaar was initially acquitted, but the decision was overturned two years later after a high court ruling had declared that:
While it had been proved that Grobbelaar had accepted
bribes, it had not been shown that he had let in goals to fix results. It was
for this reason that the original jury had found in his favour.
Arsenal - Well we could discuss Eduardo but Arsenal are everyone favourite conspiracy theorists so lets discuss something much more to their tastes. Poisening your biggest rivals for Champions League football seems like a good place to start. Did they do it? Not directly but probably, it was just too perfect for it to be an accident.
Chelsea - Well where do we start, players run the club, owners a murderer, previous owner quite possibly the dodgiest guy in football. Their captain doesnt like the colour black either. Not cheating but hes a **** so....
Man City - These guys need to cheat, no other club can fail so badly after spending the income of a small nation on new players but City have.
Got anything else then add it below. This is a bit of fun poking fun at our rivals.
