Man U are the biggest club in Salford and glory Hunters don't usually down grade, do they. More Man U fans will have jumped ship to Citeh. Fact. Would actually like to know what long time fans of man.u who live in salford actually think of the salford team itself and the whole situation that surrounds that club. Or if the class of 92 involved in it have gone down in their estimation. Pick your own ex players from Countyyou loved from any era i think how you,d feel about them taking the reigns at stalybridge or hyde in the hope of competing with us with their own my money bags lurking in the background. Living in a Man U stronghold, a few miles from Moor Lane (not in Salford, but not far from the border), my perception is most of them have absolutely no idea they even exist. Some will have a vague idea that Neville + friends are involved and they had some success (coming up from non league) but that’s as far as it goes. Clearly not enough of them are sufficiently curious to become match going supporters. Man U fans don’t care about lower division football, in general, and why would they? They heve a team to support. The other thing with Salford as a city is that it isn’t. It’s a collection of random former villages which got put in the same Council area in the 70s. There’s a core Salford part, but that’s not where Moor Lane is. They couldn’t have chosen a worse place for their “project”.

We’ve had four since 2016. Young (did the first few weeks of Jan16), Gannon, Rusk and Challinor. Arrggh. Forgot about Rusk. How the hell can anyone forget about him. Should have read "Since Gannon's arrival in January 2016" as that is what the stats are based on. Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they've got something to say, But nothing comes out when they move their lips, Just "it is what it is", The MFers act like they forgot about Rusk.

I don't follow you. To the tune of Dr Dre's late 90s hit "Forgot about Dre". I saw the words "Forgot about Rusk" and my internal monologue immediately started singing that. Only way to exorcise that personal demon was to share it with the rest of the class. Selfish I know, but it is what it is. We go again.

It's just an indiscriminate phrase used to describe another team in the league.

It's just an indiscriminate phrase used to describe another team in the league. Yep, the context is everything there. Colchester are our League Two rivals, same as every other club in the division. Same as Tranmere could be our North West rivals. Or Wrexham are our promotion rivals.

It's just an indiscriminate phrase used to describe another team in the league. Only slightly more arbitrary than saying “do the double” over any team beaten in the first half of the season, really…

Weakens Crewe and no word of him going back on loan.

A thread on the sh1tstorm that Swindon seem to be in the middle of. They seem to be selling off all their decent players and their owner appears to be another who should never have passed the fit and proper person tests.
