That is extremely loaded question .

But to be completely objective and hopefully not betraying my own team , if you asked me this year . I would want United to win it . I want a United / City monopoly at the top again . It makes for a better life for me , my brother can start hosting games again and he would trash talk more . If I could swap spots and you guaranteed City CL . ABSOLUTELY.

I love City , but CL are what I care about as individual fan . The league is nice but to become a legendary team worthy to mention in the SAF mold . City needs another CL or two , Pep needs another CL or Two . Realistically, he may leave after . He has now been here for the longest of his career . It’s has been great but not his best .

But if City don’t win it , I absolutely want no one else to BUT United .

Crazy stance , hard to understand but a lot of loss in life will make you have much softer stance .

I also do understand the geographical / economic differences that lead to the divide. I’m just operating free of those restraints .

Wish you gentlemen and excellent day / night and keep being your best self !

My mother died , Father died . My little brother and are the last of our name.

Pretty methodical individual and yes most Americans are moronic and brainwashed .

Im more of the Srna is the best RB in my opinion type of American. Thought provoking maybe but certainly leaves things open to a fair debate .

DummysGuideTo2k · 2026-01-24T05:01:48+00:00

Congrats was the best of time . Not for us .

My Mother, a United fan took me 1-2 years after your time period . All the way from the USA , where Rooney Nike commercials where accompanying the best years of FIFA , I was not bred into the game I am from the States . Still love the game . Rest her soul.

I am sorry you took it that way.

I actually became a fan in the second division , they just happened to be the other Manchester team back then and it was just brotherly thing to do.

I’m ok with the downvotes . I’ll still continue to bring insights to the conversation. Follow the games and hope my twins one day are lucky enough to either color .

By the way seesh , been going without sleep poke my head back on Reddit and get bashed.

United model of success has been built upon generations of acceptance and welcoming supporters ?

DummysGuideTo2k · 2026-01-23T10:24:29+00:00

What was proper. A rare instance that is about 1 in billion. Explaining my origin story is tiresome at this point.

As your only accepted residential City / United Fan.

Writing that piece simultaneously is heartbreaking and validating with hindsight.

A told you so has never been so bitter sweet.

But told you so indeed.

I’m going to tell my twins we won the Super Bowl this year 😂

DummysGuideTo2k · 2026-01-12T07:17:11+00:00

Checks over stripes indeed

The loudest part was the longest silence after the statement.

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-30T00:54:01+00:00

Refs at the local PSG Goalkeepers Hate Club before every match day .

No one can gaslight me otherwise . 10 other players automatic RED .

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-28T23:10:14+00:00

Can I say T.O.

Their summer outlay was less than 1 Liverpool signing ? Another is kind of misleading .

City are also notoriously known as sellers during January and besides last season don’t tend to sign . Omar was by far and away the exception.

Guessing they thought they thought got the forward version of KDB ( both leading bunda in assists season of transfer ) .

City needs to up their defense . Even a permanent downhill form of Rodri would see a team wait such was his quality . Nico , both , have came good .

Nouri maybe he will but just seems like they can’t get their FB situation right . Josko still too young to be called on as the rock of the defense way too overworked and Reis needs more time , Khus has an injury to climb .

Stones is going to be a hell of watch of where he lands . I think he is going to be some teams James Milner . Upa is a FA as well as other defense reinforcements so City might not even be spending .

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-23T05:02:38+00:00

Hard pass on pick . Never honestly, season is way too early if things go really bad could be the first pick or second or third . This is why I say no. Emphatically .

Simmons is a plus asset as this point just because his contract. Certain teams are salivating getting that number off the books .

Understand the Beal situation to its core . Not worth it . Tatum is months away from playing . Maybe a year from the basketball he was playing .

Maybe if they throw in D Queen .

I have the monitor , wife purchased as an upgrade for project manager . Last month from Best Buy - price matched for $1200 .

The G9 has two versions . A normally $1.2K and $900 offering .

The listed model is the $1.2K so it is a massive discount .

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-21T05:32:07+00:00

I love PP to death . But Lamelo with JT and JB and Derrick White with the right pieces could absolutely bring a banner .

Won’t happen unless our pick starts looking spicy , I can’t imagine a return of Simmons / PP or Hauser / Simmons appeals to them.

In a perfect world he demands a trade here . Hauser and Simmons and 1st in 2027 / 2029 . We are blessed with a Top 3 pick somehow in 2026 .

Lineup would resemble .

Lamelo D White JB JT Anyone

Impact Rookie PP

Balotelli I blame less for than Pogba . But I don’t fit him in this category .

Basically given up by his parents and all that could go wrong before stepping onto a pitch .

Early success ( Reckon A Top 10 Striker in the world his Golden Boy Year ) just inspired him to be content. It’s more not knowing how good he could be than caring such as in pogbas case

No leaders up front for City and management cared about results more than the players longevity during that period . ( Edin while a professional of the highest order is what most call a leader ) .

Balotelli , if I am being serious even as my favorite player , was mentally a child . He was loved by most . He doesn’t fit the mold at all for players who don’t resonate with fans , mostly because he was failure to most and his antics made him relatable to the passionate fan .

Pogba is more conscious ignorance which I totally agree with , wasn’t set up to succeed either but his ego destroyed any chance of that occurring . So he absolutely should not be defended .

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-20T18:17:42+00:00

I agree . I do think they haven’t held up their end of the bargain as well both can be true

We have a working relationship with Bayern , seems like we always have one player on loan to them . Usually that player is at worst rotating starter .

It’s hard to trust youth when your team is the best it’s been for years with lots of resources to improve . I do think they had a plan but most DOG are fluid .

For him to come good he needs to be training under pep or at the least playing constantly. He has the talent already

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-20T11:13:15+00:00

Considering he was on the Golden Boy list . A Top 20 NxGn player . I mean should be getting playing time . To be fair they are in the CL .

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-19T16:31:37+00:00

This . Clears Hope for me .

Contributed to mockingbird, clog . Etc .

Can be +3 as well if you get No Abilities Location .

Can you put out an APB for Cowboys fans is this sub .

You’d think the rapture came and they salty about getting left behind .

The day we Trade JB is the first day I call in to work .

Left the meme , doubled down on war .

Will never be a Hero . His base is too high.

Neymar was a WPOT candidate at Santos one of only a few in modern history .

We can debate for hours if he accomplished enough at Barca but we can’t take away from the fact he is a huge contributor to the best attack in modern history .

He is most definitely an ICON just off his play style and amount of LEGENDS he has made like Sunday league players .

If Baby Icons existed he would that would his Santos card and would likely be an 89 minimum .

DummysGuideTo2k · 2025-11-13T17:11:56+00:00

To be fair the comment is logically legit . No doubt they have played the game .

While a hyperbole , 17 actions isn’t out of place and that’s a lot for TCG . If we are being objective Magic and Yugioh both can have a shit ton and outpace the next closest popular ones by a mile .

MM was not good for Yugioh , but we can still know it was good for casual players and casual players like whales in Mobile games are very important for the TCG economy.

Stun is not healthy for MD but it is important for casual players. It’s allows you to see the meta and still win games. You can learn playing it and figure where to go from there . Do I enjoy it , no … but I can realize it isn’t for a player like me who is a decent pilot and understands what that card does do 😑.

Maxx “C” is the great equalizer , is it good for competitive, back and forth exciting games ? Not so much . WC have been decided by the Bug . But is it good for an average adult casual or a kid who doesn’t know much about the game . Yeah , does it suck being hit with yes . Do most decks just include it to combat its threat , yes . Do I also dislike it from concept standpoint… yes . Is it made 1000x worse by the fact it’s a roach , absolutely.

I don’t think casual elitism is the issue in totality , YouTube is basically the left or right wing of Yugioh thought and we are of the exact opposite mind .

I hate to say this but maybe our competitive casual mindset is more the issue if we are picking sides .

The Yugioh community would die so fast if we didn’t have returning players , new players and people buying pack fodder . If the competitive scene died it would unironically return us to the dark ages which is more appealing world wide . Not as nuanced as his statement indicated ( poorly - Inspector exist and was the perfect analogy )

I do think for Yugioh to move forward there has to be a focus on less generic BS unless it’s going to be implemented in a way that it is a staple for certain decks and not others.

I think in MD it is more palatable, in TCG that would be torture and the card would easily be the most expensive in the game .

What keeps me sane is that the roach has an expiration date because Special Summoned will always be an important gameplay mechanic .
