Salford taught the world how to play the beautiful game

So back to that argument then...how many Salfordians in England's squad....or Manchester United's for that matter?

You said Salford "HAS" shit footballers; being sarcastic in the present tense.

So give me some current Salfordian footballers. Go on.

Manchester has a wonderful, rich history of great achievements... But if you need to keep telling the world about them - it says more about your own sense of inferiority than anything else.

I'm still waiting for that article "How 2 blokes from the midlands taught AC Milan how to win 7 European Cups" But that would be a terribly slanted look and a bit small time.

The fact is sparkles old chum , we in the north actually don't give a flying £#%&! about London . One way or the other . You like to think we do but we don't . We get annoyed that resources and the media get concentrated down there but that's different to having a chip .

The fact is sparky ( and i do like you hand agree with virtually all you post on here btw) that you are all over any thread to do with the north and mancunian achievements like a slobbering Labrador .

Love these North/South threads, tbh

who was it on here who was trying to claim manchester was a better city than london?

Someone here who has lived in both Manchester and London, and currently living in Salford.
There is a very prevalent and completely unwarranted london obsession here, it's undeniable really. The majority of people in london don't have the same opinion on Manchester; infact the majority of people I know there who've visited Manchester really like the place.
I'm not sure what rock some of you have been living under but Manchester receives far too much undeserved publicity for subjective achievements such as music and art etc. A brief period of poor house djs and charisma lacking lower-middle class frontmen who are seen as rebels by garbage like the nme hardly qualifies as being at the forefront of contemporary music. The music of most inner city folk here is grime/rap, preceded by dancehall and reggae, which unfortunately doesn't get the recognition it deserves for one disgraceful reason.
Manchester has had few and far between top class sound systems and artists, none to challenge those from the likes of nottingham, derby and Wolverhampton, let alone london which is indisputably the capital of reggae outside of kingston. Another factor of utter %@#$&!s here is how many of you ill travelled fools seem to think london receives charity. I really can't be bothered going into this but if you think ordsall is the be all and end all of rough and deprived, go for a walk around Edmonton. Far heavier than anywhere in Manchester, it's £#%&! all to be proud of either.
CoD I've just walked down market street and chapel st and England shirts/flags are £#%&!ing all over the place, stop talking shit.

Not like the evening news at all that

Ordsall is grim by any standards, tbf.

One of the few places I have felt unsafe just travelling in a car - and I lived in the West End of Newcastle for a while

says more about you than ordsall.

i, like felix, cannot for one minute be arsed to get in to regional debates about which city is better. £#%&!ing tedious.
