I don't get that. I know their historic rivalry was the NW derby with the Scousers, but it must hurt being the second best team in their city.
Actually, thinking about it, is it that City have just bought it? All their trinkets will have 115 asterisks, but if we win, we'll have done it far and square like Fergie and Wenger etc.
Genuine question, P, and I haven't thought it through myself.
Sperz get bought buy some petro-dictatorship and spend billions each year after openly bribing the FA, PL, Uefa etc.
It's them against a resurgent Man U {managed by some former player you hate as much as I hate Neville} for the title. Who do you want to win?
I still don't want Sperz to win. I don't care about the asterisks. I don't care ManU pull further away from us in all time titles.
Though I can sort of see where they're coming from. If City with everything then us, Mancs and LFC are where we've always been. We're equals. Doesn't matter if one is 2nd, one is 5th and one is 17th in the grand scheme of things.
But kids in the playground will be choosing City over Utd. They'll lose their City. Surely that means more? How can they cheers for their City rivals?
