Our bitter friends from the Eastlands council house have stooped to a new low by putting up billboards in the city centre aimed at taunting us United fans.
One of them features mercenary Carlos Tevez and the words “Welcome to Manchester”.
Quite a strange thing to say considering he has lived and trained in Manchester for the last two years, but you can’t really expect City to display reasonable levels of common sense and intelligence.
The stupidity doesn’t stop there though. Oh no! The image of Tevez they used is an image of him celebrating a goal for United against Wigan last season. You really could not make it up.
Small time
They seem to think signing our back up striker is some sort of major achievement and reason enough for a bit of gloating. I suppose it’s to be expected from a club that hasn’t challenged for a trophy for the better part of four decades. They haven’t had many reasons to taunt us over the past 30 or 40 years so they take every chance they can get.
The thing is, they don’t realize how small time it makes them look. It would be expected from the fans, the same paper airplane throwing, runway song singing, bitter scum who turn up at Eastlands dressed as blue plastic seats every week. But these are official billboards commissioned by the club itself as part of an advertising campaign.
While United are off on a tour of Asia cementing their position as arguably the biggest club in world football, the bitter blues are busy canvassing Manchester because they know that despite having billions in the bank, they still won’t fill their rented stadium week in week out.
Any reason to gloat
They really seem to think that they’ve got one over on us. They’ve spent tens of millions on a player who scored 5 league goals in 29 games last season. We spent nothing on Michael Owen who scored more goals in less games. Who got the better deal? I’ll give you a clue: It’s not City.
Here’s a reminder of what City fans were singing about Tevez last season:
“He’s neck scars proves he’s lost his head Tevez, Tevez
He’ll never have a sexy bird Tevez, Tevez
The argy twat, the ugly ****, they sewn his head on back to front
Carlos Tevez, herman munster head.”
Now they’re hailing him as one of the world’s best. It’s laughable.
- He insulted our manager, somehow thinking that we’d take his side
- He complained about a lack of playing time, despite making 51 appearances last season
- He’s exposed himself as a money driven mercenary
- He lied about his reasons for leaving
- He tried to turn the fans against Sir Alex
- He ‘s simply not good enough and doesn’t score enough goals
We’re well shot of him.
Previous effort
Who remembers the last time they put up posters around the city? The statement on it was quickly corrected by a quick witted United fan. It didn’t exactly have the desired effect, as newspapers were busy pointing out the United fan’s addition rather than the intended message City were hoping for.
Class
In another show of class, a 200 strong group of blues were present at the council house to welcome Tevez and were heard chanting a song that ended with “he hates Munichs”.
The irony is that an ex Manchester City player also died on that fateful day in Munich. Frank Swift, a former City goalkeeper turned reporter was flying with the United squad when the disaster struck, but City fans are either too ignorant to realize this, or they simply don’t care about the death of one of their own. I wouldn’t rule out either.
