The Spoiler

Provocative poster induces provocative reaction

Carlos Tevez Billboard War

When Manchester City invested in a form of media whose sole purpose was to irritate their red rivals, they opened themselves up to abuse from a very dangerous type of person: the anonymous websurfer with a basic command of Photoshop and five minutes to spare before their next game of World of Warcraft.

Carlos Tevez Billboard War

As you can see, these vitriolic folks have put aside their latest Guardian Gallery entry to sling pixellated mud at one another. The City riposte above not only draws attention to Michael Owen’s persistent injury problems, but also to the fact that Old Trafford lies outside the boundaries of the city of Manchester. How devilish!

    Why would you want any more of these? It’s quite clear in your article that you think they are a waste of time? And you go to some lengths to insult those who have made them. Maybe you should concentrate on your pictures of footballers bending over each other and pretending they are having sex. (where sport meets porn section).

    “(where sport meets porn section)”

    Yea I think we got that from the sentence before…

    Neddy - I hate people like you. If you don’t like it stop visiting the site!

    Badger - bit harsh? I was simply making a comment on this one article that seems to mock people just having a laugh. Also seems a bit Red to me.

    Matty - maybe not everyone is familiar with every section on this site.

    Badger - W*nker

    Badger - what do you mean people like me? I was simply making a comment on this one article that seems to mock people just having a laugh. You seem to have taken the critisim of this article rather badly. Did you write this shite then or something?

    Matty - maybe not everyone is familiar with every section on this site. You clearly are… …hang on did you write this? Are you and Badger the same person by any chance? Oh dear.

    Neddy - You appear to be repeating yourself…

    Love the bitter Manure fans caning the lad now he’s gone!

    “You’re welcome to him” Ha! They weren’t chanting that a few weeks back!

    Yeah, he’s a mercenary. Yeah, he’s overpriced but at least he had the sense to leave that shit-heap Old Trafford.

    Haha!

    I just typed in http://www.wastelands.com hoping to find some more of these billboards. It’s fair to say I was surprised about what was on the other end!

    Oh, and Tony, you’re right, OT is really a shit heap. One that could only win a handful of trophies lat season. I bet MUFC really wishes it was someone else, like Hull, Aston Villa, or Birmingham. Top insight mate, you should have a job in the field.
