What a sad man...

I have no issues against good mannered banter... and putting this banner up at OT would be fine.

But a stunt like this at an away ground is very provocative and could have gone horribly wrong - it could have triggered a riot

For Fergie to condone it speaks volumes of his character... to use one of his own phrases 'beyond the pale'... similar to Gary Neville running towards the Liverpool end to taunt the fans... and opening declaring his hatred for Liverpool in the press...

I hope our fans or staff don't stoop to such levels...

Good natured, good humoured banter - yes. But not bitter, twisted vindictiveness.

I wouldnt get wound up over it. Its taken them almost 3 decades to win one more league title than us. Will probably taken them a further 20 to win 5 european cups.

He's a bitter old man and we should really be flattered that he hates us so much and their fans spend most of the games singing about us rather then getting behind their own team.

I think he secretly wishes he'd become the manager of this great club. He knows they can't match us for support and tradition, notwithstanding things have gone a bit pear shaped here for the last 20 years. So all he can do is get in his little digs. Rise above it and when we overtake them again in the not too distant future, don't bother to even mention it. They are a sad bunch of people.

Feck him! What we've witnessed since Januray, I've a lot of confidence going into next season already, why not go for the title, let them have the same glory for a year that we've had for many more, then we'll take it back!! grin

As for taunting, what do yiz think of this?

Me mate rang me on Tuesday about this. Didn't see the game on Sunday and apparantly this banner was unfolded over the anfield road end. Needless to say the banner was only up for about 10 seconds before the heads that did this were booted out!

Having said rise above it earlier and ignore ... I have to say that is a devilish idea.

The guy is and always will be obsessed with us. Like all Manc fans they are and always will be living in our shadow.
