All fair points them but I wouldn't be watching MLB over here unless it was of that quality. As much as I love RL if Super League went under I'd be watching the NRL and not the amateur game because the quality isn't there. Some people can watch any level of their favourite sport and whilst that can be enjoyable, in my personal experience if you aren't born to follow a particular club due to where you were born you gravitate to the upper echelons of the sport because that's where there's more excitement and entertainment. Who watches world title fights but then tunes in to watch A N Other v A N Other Journeyman? You might watch a good fight after its happened but most of us know that the likelihood of you seeing an acceptable level of quality entertainment is less frequent the further you get away from the pinnacles of the sport. Sport has always been about entertainment and still is.



Why don't I support St Helens Town? If Wigoon Ath weren't in the football league there wouldn't be many RL season tickets holders who went to watch them. Why someone does or should support a particular team can't always be decided by where you were born. I have known several people who have gone out of their way to not support a local team for various reasons e.g. an act of non-conformity. Supporting is entirely subjective and you can't apply a logical reasoning for it because people can be incredibly illogical when it comes to feelings and emotions, of which following a sports teams leans heavily on.

Quite amusing to see a city fan write this considering how much they go on about their apparent local support compared to MUFC.

If I remember correctly, Fergie had a pop at Tevez's technique when he left - something veiled about how crap his first touch was. I think it was mainly to draw a comparison with Berbatov who, as we all know, has lovely feet.



I think Tevez improved when we went to city. It can't be because he was playing with better players because he wasn't. It may be because he was better coached. I suspect the real reason was that he got more game time. He still ran around just as much but he got into a groove where he was unplayable at times.

Anyone a Blackburn fan? Wondering what MB Diouf was like last season, apparently we've had an offer accepted by Utd for him.

I'm glad I could make your life that little bit better

I'm not from Manchester either lol. Go knock yourself out

Not sure about the Neville/Hoddle comparison???.....





Its like pointing out that Terry Butcher got more caps than Matt LeTissier......Yes, LeTiss was better to watch, but Butcher wouldn't be picked for his fairying around in midfield, would he?



Same point with Neville and Hoddle surely?

He had some good games for us.I would say he's not good enough to be a top Premiership forward but he'll score a lot more in the championship than he did for us.

Been to Citys first preseason game tonight, nice 4 1 win at Ferriby.



Please with the 3 new signings on show, especially Adebola who looks like he'll be a handfull, getting a nice goal whilst he was at it. Also impressed with Joe Dudgeon the left back.



Also, any Liverpool or United fans with opinions on Gulasci or Robbie Brady who we've signed today?

The time to judge is when 5th august comes around, Ive never taken notice of Friendlys as they are irrelevent and are nothing apart from a training session



I think Dudgeon will be quality tho and think he will start infront of Dawson to begin with.



From what ive heard Brady is class and is better than stewart so thats promising

Bet you still sing 'This city is ours' on a train heading away from Manchester after city games.

Could be banned too

Everton's US tour is going well then...

Interesting.....The match doesn't kick off until 12.30 am??.....

Marca reporting Agüero to City.

They do.



I do believe it's the U18's, another embarrassing post, but at least you've quoted it before he can delete it and save the embarrassment.

Missing: Sense of humour. If found please return to RLFans.com.

He must be really slack on material tonight

Can't take the credit for it, I'm afraid. Came from a couple of Liverpool supporting friends, but even the brother-in-law Toffee saw the funny side

Ok, I'll admit I had a chuckle, I just didn't want it to show

Your in-laws obviously have some class too by the way

He seems like a decent lad and he's taken my sister to Goodison a few times. I suppose we should be grateful. He could have a thing for the other side of Stanley Park

indeed, the thought of your sister being put through that side of the park makes my stomach turn - no-one should be put through that. He seems decent to me too, he's obviously got sense and is taking your sister on the right track - fair play to him

I could maybe understand your point if Tevez had resembled a player with the skill of Berbatov or Van Persie when he was younger but he simply didn’t. Tevez has never had the technique and skill to be the player you are referring too. Adding hustle and bustle to his game has made him more effective.



England has made Tevez. When he first arrived he was a forward who was difficult to accommodate into a team. Now he is a player who you build a team around. He has developed into a genuine world class lone forward (IMO the hardest role to master in a football team). If he had not changed as a player, from the one that started off, he would not be regarded so highly.



I’m sorry but the last sentence of your post is cringeworthy.

Hope so.
