    Good morning
    I would like to take a moment to talk about facts
    As Man Utd are the self proclaimed biggest club in the world there are some indicators that would suggest this to be possibly inaccurate

    Other than the fine genial Scottish gentleman recovering in the Alex,none of the other 10 managers since Busby have won the league. FACT

    Each of the last 3 Manchester City managers have won the premier league FACT


    Since the said jovial one retired Utd haven’t finished within 15 points of the league winner FACT

    Since his retirement Utd haven’t finished above their neighbours Manchester City FACT

    Despite spending relatively similar levels to City with regards transfers and wages Utd appear to be a long way behind with their turgid uninspiring football mirroring the dour uninteresting dinosaur in charge OPINION

    Do you think Man Utd are the biggest club in the world when given the FACTS?

    Second in the league
    Second in the FA cup
    Second in the City

    * I may have plagiarised this and added on the last bit

    Far be It from me to defend Utd, but you are basing your "facts" on local rivalry.

    Alternative facts.

    Have City ever been European Champions?

    Have City been English Champions more than 20 times?

    Do City get bigger home attendances than Utd?

    Do City have a bigger global canvass?

    Is City as a club worth more than Utd?


    I feel a bit :emoticon-0119-puke: after posting this.

    Ah a history buff
    I’ve never suggested Manchester City were the worlds biggest club young man
    Worlds biggest clubs do tend to be at least the best side in their own city just to help you out

    "young man", if only.<laugh>

    As for history, without it the club wouldn't be where it is today, they are one of if not the biggest club on the planet.
    Your club are temporarily better than their neighbours in purely footballing terms, but you're mixing "big" and "best" up, totally different things young man.

    Which Manchester club has been "second best" to their neighbours more often?


    I'm guessing it's not "the self professed biggest club in the world"

    Can't blame PPLF having a pop at Utd, but will it last?

    With no axe to grind and not a supporter of the club then Man utd are so far ahead of anyone that it will take well over a decade for anyone to even come close to united's record. Liverpool are the closest and even they are not close and Man city are nowhere near...

    I wanted to play for City, but was only good enough for United so I packed in.
