    i think we are a very closed club. we dont like media attention, we keep a lot behind closed doors. which makes us as fans feel the heat at times like at the moment. but i think thats part of our success because we keep things behind closed doors and only let things come out on fergies say so. we are the most organized club in the world.

    so thats why you dont read many reports that aint make believe about star signings because its not how fergie likes things. we are a football club - not a circus

    Here's a question for you, why do you support a club from a shit hole, when you have no ties to the club or city ?

    Also don't forget that sunny weather has the optical illusion that makes shit holes look clean and cool.

    I was saying this along time ago but most people are to pro anything united to understand, we are a great club but we are not the worlds premier team that is real madrid and its hard to compete with that.

    Listen, Manchester is not a shit hole. It's a great City, with a great history, with great people living there.

    And by the way Migueldadon, why do you support United just out of interest?

Granted a lot has been done to improve it over the years, it's no where near as bad as it was pre 90's, but in comparison to Madrid, a city alive with culture, fashion, great weather, huge parks etc etc then Madrid wins hands down, it's a completely different lifestyle and that is what is attractive to many.
    Obviously there are far worse places to live, and I know I've seen quite a lot of 'third world' and real poverty on my travels, but still, I can understand the lure of somewhere more exotic
