A bit like City we endured some tough old years compared to our London rivals. I'm starting to get nervous about the CL final now.... please footballing gods, let us win it just this once!
 


A bit like City you spent a crazy amount of money, time they capped what clubs can spend as it's got ridiculous now so many clubs just can't compete nowadays unless they have a dodogy billionaire funding them.

Here we go, I knew it wouldn't take long.... Chelsea brought the league and now City blah blah blah....

Man U have always spent large sums on big name buys as and when they need to. That's not mocking their achievments as they have been amazingly consistant and had some great home grown players come through.

In the 5 years leading up to Abramovich buying Chelsea we qualified for 2 CL's, won 2 fa cups, 2 european trophies a league cup and 2 charity shields. 

I agree spending should be capped as football has got silly with ridiculous transfer fees and wages.

exactly!! although man u's starting team actualy cost more than citehs  :lipsrsealed:

Cost more as in to buy or to pay as i would find it hard to believe UTD wages match Citys they are on some crazy amount of money !

More to buy according to skynews.

Aye, that made me laugh a lot! He was not moaning at the 5 minutes added on in the Derby game last week, or the 100 added minutes in the game when Owen scored passed us.
Least QPR had a player sent off for the right reason against us and not Ashley Young diving like Tom Daley to get their player sent off.

I see Tevez just held up A RIP Fergie poster..big ARF! Utd fans up in arms on their forums.
