That seems to contradict your thoughts on City.

United have been out of it for nearly a decade.

City have instead been eclipsing all our achievements during that time, overtaking us in league titles too.

Why would you want them to win the treble?

IMO City are spawning into something far worse. 

a domestic Cup double for Manure would be horrid, especially as they are almost for sure getting CL too, even if we beat them

But that's my point - who cares about United at this time?

City are the ones who are running away with it in the past 10 years. 

Liverpool also did a domestic cup double last year, and almost no one else besides Pool fans give a crap.

City winning the treble would make a lot of our achievements in the Roman era look like a mere footnote in comparison.

They will become only the 2nd English club to win a treble and are looking like winning four league titles back to back.

the only EPL team I would root for Manure is versus Spuds

and I would want that to be a draw if possible

I fucking hate

Spuds

Manure

Pool

Arse

far more than any other teams on the planet

to a lesser level I also hate

Juve

Bayern

Barca

Real

as those 4, along with Manure and Pool, were the Big 6 that forced in FFP to fuck AC Milan (Juve's Agnelli mafia kicked it all off to stop Berlusconi) , Chels, Citeh, and PSG (and Dortmund, Inter, and Atletico Madrid to a lesser degree)

City have the best squad (arguably) in European football at the moment and they are winning trophies.   I don't see anything wrong with that. 

When we were winning league titles and other trophies under Mourinho, you could say that we (arguably) had the best team in the PL at that point in time. 

The reason why I just don't like United is because they don't have a good squad or amazing players but with Rashford or Bruno or someone else they seem to pop up at the right moment of the game, take the 50/50 chance and get the win.  Them winning both domestic cups just feels wrong, especially when you consider they were killed by City in the league and even Klopp pulled their pants down on live tv and gave them a score line to remember.

The points you raise in this post, I can understand.

I couldn't understand your earlier remark about United having so much success under Ferguson., therefore making them a hated opponent

IMO, that Fergie team was not so different compared to City.

Chelsea found guilty of breaching rules.... ban implemented.

City found guilty of breaching rules.... win a treble and there's a National party.

Bit different, this man city breach is massive and will require a huge enquiry that will spam months if not years.

Though it's massive and requires a lot of time, since the investigation began a couple of months ago, hasn't there been a single case (out of a hundred) that they have proven to be guilty?

 

I mean, wouldn't one or two proven guilty cases already be enough to impose some punishment on them?

U have to build enough evidence to convict, it's not as simple as some may think, both sides will have lawyers etc working on this night and day. They won't do it as individual cases they will do it all and produce there findings for each individual offence as a whole presentation.

GS just announced England's squad for EURO qualifiers.. Only one Chelsea-player involved, and that's Gallagher. Sad in so many ways.. 

Chilwell, James and Mount are injured. Sterling doesn't deserve to be there.
