What is that famous quote about statistics again? Oh, yes I recall - there are more people suffering from ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder, before you ask!) in Manchester than anywhere else in the world.

LR i'm not being down beat on your Newton health.....

I know this is going to sound harsh (please understand my hearts still goes out to their families). But imagine WE -the real united- HAD THE AIR DISASTER. Our crowds beat the Newton Heath crowds all up to that point and a little beyond!

I think in a fortunate way, the brand name Man Utd was glamourised after the tragic air crash. Thus everyone saw the sympathy given, and ended up supporting the 'then' unlucky club.

Man Utd, later went on to get 'great PR and propergandist publicity' at later dates in the future - when those journos brought up around the times of the disaster, who ended (with a lot of the london population) supporting Manure, asserting and strengthening it's name to the false glamour image it has today.

Those daft journos who developed the idea that every Kid (brain washing every London kid -BECKHAM, coughing loud) wants to play for Man Ure, after all they play at the theatre of dreams.....

Imagine what it would be like if it was the toon (you couldnt imagine it, we'd be just too big)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on the toon, to some great PR...........

Hate to say it, but maybe PR is good, nothing more of a crowd puller than some shiny silverware. we have next to none, LR,s mob have a few trinkets in the cupboard...like it or not, that's the crowd puller.
