"We"! Is that confirmation of your support for City?

'We' meaning 'people who think it's funny when the press and united fans latch on to any and every new face to have a half decent debut and proclaim them the new messiah'

Had a feeling silkyman would be in here crying about about the praise for the next Pele
What a goal from the youngster, get him in the England squad already. If he's good enough United, he's good enough for England!

It's even funnier that it winds people like you up. God forbid a player gets some coverage in the news for having a good game.
Lingaard has been at the club for years by the way.
The fact you read our match reports suggests you have an unhealthy obsession with what we're up to and what is being said about us. You were crying a few months ago about Martin Tyler's announcing of Martial's debut goal.
Bitter.

Silkyman 
No matter how many trophies Cities blood money buys them him and his like will always have a massive chip on their shoulder regarding United.
As for Lingard, I remember watching him a fair bit for the youth sides, which shows he is too old to be classsed as a youngster. He's always been a good player without any defining star qualities. But he's pretty quick, clever , very good first touch and knows how to finish. I believe Ferguson always expected him to make it and I'm inclined to agree. He'll never be first name on the team sheet but he will be an important first 16 player capable of filling in across a variety of roles in midfield and the forward line whilst maintaining a degree of productivity.
Rooney was pretty good today. One touch he took before half time was unreal. If he carries on we'll be much better for it.
I think yesterday showed again why the cirticism is far too harsh. West Brom had no intention of leaving their half at any point till we scored. You cant blame them as we have obviously shown a weakness playing teams who park the bus but it can be difficult to create chances against defensive teams. Teams tactics against us, City included are playing a large role in the dullness of our games.
Another 3 points away from Chelsea, top 4 should be a certaity this year. I think we'll finish comfortably third. If we can throw in a good run in the FA cup and Europe I'll be pleased. I'm still behind Van Gaal

The silkyman way
Fergie always said Lingard would be a late-ish bloomer
“Jesse Lingard is going to be some player,” he said three years ago.
“He is 19, came through our youth system and is built like Jean Tigana was for France.
“But he never got into the limelight there until he was about 24, and I think that will be the same with Lingard.
“He will become a player when he’s 22 or so. As an attacking midfielder he has got a really good talent. I think he will be a player we have high hopes for, definitely.”

You need to get yourself a good, old-fashioned hobby.
Seriously.

You've got to admit, I called it spot on...
Not got time for a hobby. Got a business to run and a four year old daughter. Mickeytaking Rags will have to do for now.

I'd have thought a budding entrepreneur with a young daughter to raise would have more important things to accomplish than "mickeytaking rags" but I suppose we've all got different priorities.

With Englands wide options being a combination of Andros 'can't make the Spurs bench " Townsend and James 'my best postion is Centre mid, honest ' Milner why wouldn't he make the squad.

"Rags" is an insult exclusive to City fans.
A wannabe City fan that spends his spare time trawling media articles of United. You're certainly having the biggest laugh here, Silky.
