I think a lot of our fans care, I just think they accept that there is little they can do to force these owners out. They are billionaires, they've just refinanced the loan deal and they're signing club record shirt sponsorship deals, why oh why would they wanna leave because thousands of people on the other side of the pond aren't happy?

If they ran us into the ground like Ashley has with Newcastle, then they'd probably want out, but we finished second last year, the market is gradually getting better and we've just tied down numerous players and members of staff to long term deals, they have a project for this club and unless somebody comes in with mega-money, it's unlikely they will sell up.

We have won other trophies in the past 30 years

You do know that this doesn't include the Locker Cup? I hope you know what that is.

and we're not in the playoffs sadly, which I thought you would have known.

I just thought you would, being huge and everything...

We couldn't sign Inglis or Folau at the moment as we'd breach the cap.

You cannot sign them because they wouldn't join you until they are 30+ and injury-prone. They wouldn't have heard of Wire.

Anyways, let's stick to football. If you want to respond, you can PM me or start a thread on the Wire forum

That's acceptable then?

City small? Nah, they're massive.

Wahey. Some humourous banter. Mark/Cubbles/Darktart take note.

If you listen to most United fans / Fergie etc, we aren't scared of you in terms of challenging for the League this year, which I'm sure you'll agree. With regards to Sunday, it's a Derby, one game, anything can happen, I mean you managed to beat us with Benjani up front last year, which is proof enough.

In terms of the league, I certainly wouldn't worry about us just yet. However, the increasing regularity of Ferguson's rantings about us, indicate that he does regard us as more of a threat.

There was a game last year in which he was offside 9 times in one half of football, and gave away 5 free-kicks when challenging for the ball in the same 45mins. And he did it while smiling like a Cheshire Cat. I cannot tell you what went through my mind. I'd probably be arrested.

I think United's fans views of City are changing though. How long since United fans were genuinely happy that City were missing first team players? Normally, they would just think they would win whatever side we put out.

I'm happy Adebayor isn't playing due to the fact that he's a good finisher / always seems to do well against us, him not playing significantly weakens your strike force, which should in theory benefit us.

I'm not fussed about missing Tevez. I would much rather have Adebayor and RSC fit to play.

As for teh game, I just cannot see us retaining possession in United's half on Sunday. I expect a parking of the bus and looking for a goal on the break or through a set pieces. If United were missing Rooney and Berbatov, I would feel very confident.

Well they've revealed plans to build a stadium, they've tied the manager down to a five year contract, they obviously have plans to take the club forward, we don't agree with their methods and the way they've loaded their debts onto the club, but I doubt they'd invest so much money to ruin the club, they obviously have plans, it's just the lies and BS they keep spouting to the media that gets me.

I understand what you mean about leaflets, my dad said he took one at the Stoke game but the majority didn't care too much. It's sad but I still believe there's a large majority who do care, they've either accepted that Hicks and Gillett are in it for the long haul, or they just don't show their anger in a similar way to SoS.

I want the Americans out more than anybody, but they've been here two years and after the bullshit in late 2007, little seems to have happened in terms of getting them out. Money talks and until somebody comes in with a stupendous offer or they can't pay off the loans, these cowboys will be here for years to come. I doubt any problems will happen with the loans, though, especially after hearing Gillett's comments about the club never being in a stronger financial position. If so, why is Rafa still having to sell to buy?
