United are actually sustainable though.
The only thing dragging them down is the debt accrued by the leveraged takeover, which is quite huge admittedly.
United have a policy whereby the annual wage bill must be less than 50% of turnover.
City are in a worse position if we talk about running a football club. Their wage bill is something like 120% of turnover.

I can't call which way this game is going to go. It's anyone's guess.
It totally depends on which Arsenal turn up

Your turn City. Don't fuck up now 
Yep it's very open unlike the Man United/QPR game which was killed even further thanks to a red card.
My prediction: City wins 3-1
Nasri going out to impress daddy Arsene! Could be a good thing.

I'd usually would go for Arsenal but I don't want the premierleague race to be over yet.
So, go Yaya !!!
Prediction:
Arsenal 1 - 3 Man City
Yaya 18'
Nasri 55'
RVP 62'
Balo 78'
That's right, I even predict the minutes.

No point in trying to guess the result for this one. We all know City are going to go for it with everything they've got. Just depends on what Arsenal turns up and if RVP decides he fancies a goal.
GO CITY!
Edit: Fuck it.
Arsenal 2 - 3 Man City
RVP 23'
Balo 31'
Aguero 49'
Nasri 74'
Chamberlain 86'

That's not a prediction, that's wishful thinking. =P
The odds you'd get with minutes...
If you're correct I'd like a go on your time machine

Firstly, an American baseball team, the Minnesota Twins have stolen/adapted Leeds United's Marching on Together as a 'fight song'. Probably the most bizarre occurrence recently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te4ZoqdLtio
Secondly, I'm curious, reading this thread, as to aspects of the footballing supporting psyche of those who post in it. I might be understanding wrong, but the majority of you are American? Don't take any offence by this, but part of my love of Leeds is years of attending the games etc., and I was raised a Leeds fan. Is part of your support somewhat artificial? It would explain why the majority seem to be a fan of Man Utd/Liverpool/Arsenal. I can't imagine who I'd choose if I actually went out to pick a football team. Would be an odd thing to have to do.

Yeah but didn't you see our possession stats?
Yes it is a joke. But if that was tightened up it would make a difference.

Fixed it just for you Bale.
Great interview with Stuart Ripley in yesterday's LEP Jeff, just read it. Given me lots of food for thought about Downing and Carroll, specifically how they were clearly bought in the same mould. Says a lot that Downing was subbed for Carroll in yesterday's game.
Grew up watching football at my grandparents who're scousers, which inevitably pushed me to support Liverpool with them. My uncle and cousins are Everton season ticket holders. Parents and my brother don't like football. Strange people.
Unlike the Chelsea and United fans the Liverpool contingent in this thread regularly attend matches.amitaiwinehouse said:

Be interesting to see how that City turnover is going to improve.
The Etihad Campus and constant CL will help a lot.
I agree.

Quinn thinks out of the 5 bottom sides that all lost over the weekend it's only QPR that can come out with there heads held high.

Rio just implied that Cleverley is only worth 2p.

Replays show the ref had the whistle in his mouth before Young even hit the ground. He's not even bothered in appearing conflicted
It's pronounced tuppence, Rio.

Not as much as Newcastle's subs bench. That one is a total joke.

Is it? I honestly thought, from what I'd read, that the majority on here were American.
If Djourou and Jenkinson were on our bench, I'd definitely cry.
We are all Kermit.

Just wanted to pop in and say that Raul is still really good at football. Also big ups to Gladbach for surrendering 3rd to us. That is all.
ULSTER YOU FUCKING BEAUTIES!
Beautiful eh? I'm going to the final in may, hopefully it'll be an all irish affair, would be brilliant

Oxlade-Chamberlain again starts on the bench? He must have slept with Wenger's wife. There is no other rational explanation for why he constant gets overlooked despite being our most creative attacking player.
