Question lads. Do you dislike United or Liverpool more? I'm a Gooner and should dislike Sp*rs but I can say with absolute certainty that I dislike Liverpool more than Tottenham.

I dislike Liverpool much more than Utd.

Will always be the rags but the dippers are a very close second.

It varies. I hate United on derby day but other than that they are currently insignificant. The rivalry that has built up with Liverpool the last 5-6 years or so, combined with the behaviour of some of their fans and the fact they believe they have some kind of superiority to everyone else means they are currently number one on my hate list.

That's my take too, and don't get me started on that bloody accent!

:P

I mean ironically and unintended I am sure but putting us first makes us superior to everyone else on your hate list! haha

EDIT: Also yes! we are first this time!

Rags every time, it’s ingrained in my psyche. A Utd mate (who follows Lincoln City now) did warn me about a decade ago that the Dippers are a different breed altogether though and he wasn’t wrong to be fair.

A Goalkeeper for a start

 

[RodneyRodney]

I'll go for - lack of goalkeeper?

No. They're better off with no goalie than Onono

 

[TinFoilHat]

That **** Alex Crook sounds like he’s going to burst into fucking tears right now. Leeds fan just come on saying playing for United means little pressure but playing for Newcastle means much more pressure due to replacing Isak (talking about Sesko)

He’s very angry this morning. The 45 minutes about all things rag haven’t gone according to plan for the fat twat.

He also thinks rags will finish 5th.

Another plastic.

Boasting about going golfing with heroes from his real club Portsmouth earlier.

Dippers for me. Close run thing though, but the dips just edge it

If you grew up in Manchester the answer is easy, man u.

 

[Gordyola]

No other club should come close to a City's fans hatred of the rags they are the scum and I dont want them to win a throw-in never mind a match. Their arrogance holds no bars and before the tragedy in 58 they were a nothing club. Remember the way they evicted their injured players from their club houses and then played on the tragedy for ever is despicable Gave cuntonar more money for playing in the remembrance game than the victims got. Then there is the banner approved by the manager who, looked down at City describing them as noisy neighbors as he arrogantly expected us to be a flash in the pan. Its so satisfing that he never expecting City to be favorites in his lifetime, now its every time (Thanks to Guy Mowbray) They manipulate the media GPC manipulated the officials they have the PL in their pockets Hate them and all who are associated with them

 

[Grassland Blue]

Rags every single time. Absolutely fucking despise the cunts and everything about them. I want everything to go horribly wrong for them; shit results, managers sacked, players injured, imprisoned, or best of all so fucking shit they’re laughed at and bleeding the whole shitty club dry in wages. Fucking scum.

Liverpool are a temporary irritation. I hate the whining victim fans more than the actual club.

'bout right :- )

No one asking the question why have they lost so much money?

Manchester United have reported significant financial losses over the last three seasons, totaling approximately £300 million in net losses. Here's a breakdown based on available data:

- **2021-22 Season**: Net loss of £115.5 million.[](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-22/man-united-s-losses-deepen-due-to-poor-form-on-football-pitch)[](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-financial-results-debt-28054617)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/3618611/2022/09/22/manchester-united-financial-results/)
- **2022-23 Season**: Net loss of £28.7 million.[](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12675451/Manchester-United-announce-record-revenues-650m-season-50m-shaved-wage-bill-Glazers-dont-dividend-club-debts-static-538m.html)
- **2023-24 Season**: Net loss of £113.2 million.[](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://sports.yahoo.com/revealed-manchester-united-suffer-huge-120200955.html)

These figures sum to roughly £257.4 million in net losses over the three seasons. However, Manchester United themselves stated in response to fan groups that the club lost over £300 million in the past three years, indicating additional costs or adjustments (such as pre-tax losses or exceptional items) may contribute to the higher reported total.[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13295399/manchester-united-finances-in-focus-after-club-reveals-300m-losses-over-past-three-years)[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13295399/manchester-united-finances-in-focus-after-club-reveals-gbp300m-losses-over-past-three-years)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6084108/2025/01/23/manchester-united-psr-cash-losses/)

Factors contributing to these losses include:
- High wage bills, peaking at £384.2 million in 2021-22.[](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-financial-results-debt-28054617)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/3618611/2022/09/22/manchester-united-financial-results/)
- Significant transfer spending, with over £600 million spent on players in recent seasons.[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13295399/manchester-united-finances-in-focus-after-club-reveals-300m-losses-over-past-three-years)
- Absence from the Champions League, reducing broadcasting revenue (e.g., a 20.4% drop in 2024-25 Q1).[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13261020/man-utd-champions-league-absence-hits-as-premier-league-club-report-gbp6-9m-loss-for-first-quarter-of-financial-year)
- Exceptional costs, such as £47.8 million related to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority stake acquisition in 2023-24.[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5759800/2024/09/11/manchester-united-financial-results-2023-24/)
- Long-term debt interest payments and a revolving credit facility, with net debt at £731.5 million in 2023-24.[](https://sports.yahoo.com/article/manchester-united-financial-mismanagement-closer-193000700.html)

Despite record revenues of £661.8 million in 2023-24, poor on-pitch performance and high operational costs have driven these losses. The club remains compliant with Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) through allowable deductions (e.g., for youth development and women’s football), but they’ve acknowledged a risk of breaching PSR in the future without further cost-cutting.[](https://sports.yahoo.com/revealed-manchester-united-suffer-huge-120200955.html)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5759800/2024/09/11/manchester-united-financial-results-2023-24/)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6084108/2025/01/23/manchester-united-psr-cash-losses/)

United by a country mile

Not really arsed about Liverpool now that Klopp has fucked off

I probably hate Trivago more than the dippers. There must be a reason for that.

I absolutely hate Liverpool but that's mainly because of the rancid little cunts that support them, however, said hatred pales in comparison to how I feel about the rags. I hate Ferguson, I hate Ronaldo, I hate their kit, I hate their ground, I hate the bloke that sells the programmes, I hate the Chinese tourists in the club shop, I hate the tea lady.

Surely scruffy Jim made the tea lady redundant to fund their £200m summer transfer splurge?
