What is often forgotten about this season is that we took the most points from Man City, 4 and should have been 6. No other team managed it. Man u took 6 points off us.. So, Man u only have themselves to blame. We actually "helped" them more than any other team in the league. Typical Ferguson gas lighting the fans and media, something he was good at. Carrick is just a bitter mag, smoggy twat like.

It’s quite funny how bitter they are about that, feels like it got blown way out of proportion. Any other team’s supporters would have took the piss in the same way, and it wasn’t exactly the whole stadium doing the Poznan.

a set of fans who have seen their club win every single competition for decades, dominated the english game and having one of the best sides in world football for a long, long time.... upset by fans of a club who's biggest achievement was a 7th placed finish and double relegation.
if any genuine man united fan is actually upset about this then they are an absolute virgin

What a bunch of fannies 
Said at the time, what are they going to do as "punishment", beat us twice a season like they usually do anyway? Oh no.

Met a man united fan from Ipswich in Malta back in 2024 and he told me he still hates us about that
Definitely Maybe

Yep. Incidentally, always remember a Man United fan with a southern accent shouting "Shut up you northern kernts" at our fans outside after the game.
They also forget there were big sarcastic cheers when QPR equalised and took the lead and people were applauding Man United at the final whistle when it looked like they were champions. It wasn't personal to them.

What a load of toss. We just did what any other set of fans would have done in that situation. Snowflakes. Also symptomatic of modern media trying to make up rivalries that don't really exist.

Exactly.
Fans who for years have sung “you’ve only come to see United,” yet they think people weren’t gonna take the piss out of them losing the league.
Most of their fans just show faux outrage because Ferguson made a big deal out of it and they think it makes them a better Man Utd fan if they blithely parrot his view on it.

They had a chance to potentially condemn us to relegation in 2014 but failed miserably. We won 1-0. My daughter was born that morning. Great day.
Thankfully man utd fans never mocked us when we were going to be relegated and have the moral high ground here. Otherwise they'd look petty and bitter.

I thought us doing it was weird like. There had been no hostility between us
I was looking forward to the helicopter landing with the trophy as well!

We actually took FIVE points from City (in two games that they expected to win).
We drew in Manchester (two points dropped by City) and beat them at the SOL (three points dropped by City)
Man Utd lost that Title due to their own shortcomings.
We did more against City than THEY managed!

My mate was looking forward to seeing the trophy lifted, said we'd likely not get another chance to see it.
Of course he was right but of course we did the Poznan. They need to lighten up.
