| Pique: United over City for me Posted: 17 Feb 2014 10:57 AM PST Gerard Pique attended a press conference this evening ahead of Barcelona’s Champions League game against City. It is the first time in their club’s history that City will play in a Champions League knock-out game. "Manchester is a very special place for me,” he said. “I arrived here when I was 17, I was still a kid. Obviously I would have liked to play more but I had a very special three years and learnt a lot. Manchester United is my favourite team apart from Barça. It’s special for me to come back at the city.” When asked if he had to leave Barcelona for a Manchester club, Pique was very clear on where he would go. “What do you think? If I had to chose one it would be United but I am really happy.” Pique isn’t just a fan of United, but of Mancunian music too, saying: “Happy Mondays or Oasis? I prefer Happy Mondays, I got to know them while I was in England, like New Order or The Charlatans. After three years I ended up liking the music here.” |
| Pellegrini reckons City are bigger than United Posted: 17 Feb 2014 05:35 AM PST At Manuel Pellegrini’s press conference ahead of City’s game against Barcelona, he has claimed that City are now a bigger club than United. “The biggest team is City now, but we cannot forget the last few years,” he claimed. There’s no denying that City are better than United this season, given that they are 3rd in the table and we’re 7th, but it’s absolutely ludicrous for him to claim that City are bigger. By his definition, Chelsea are the biggest club in the country, with them top of the table. We can put our scouse hats on and talk about history but that just isn’t necessary. We can point to the fact they have empty seats littered all over their ground most weeks whilst United sell out a bigger stadium for every game, but again, that isn’t really necessary. Let’s talk about the present. Right now, Manchester United are the champions of England. But I imagine it won’t be long until that small club down the road are putting up posters around town to celebrate their manager’s dopey remark. |
