You only have to listen to their songs to find out who they really hate the most. Leeds, yeah they have two or three songs about them...Liverpool, yeah they have four or five songs about them...City, well, they have about two dozen songs about us! That says it all for me. If any of them start saying it isn't us then they're talking shit. They are obsessed with us. They even were when they were at their height and we were at our lowest depths.
Any of you know any proper Rags? I know a few, not many, but they openly say they hate City more than anyone (i have one uncle on each side of the family, there's a father and son from round my way and an old pal of me Grandad's - all of them say the same thing!).
I've always thought it would have been more of an Irish thing for United fans to hate Liverpool the most. They're like local rivals over there, there's that many of them glory hunting both clubs from there. It was never even a rivalry in this country until Liverpool started winning European Cups in the 1970s and the Rags started getting jealous as Liverpool became the club leaving United behind (as a few others did too). They can pretend otherwise, but it just wasn't. Chelsea-Leeds was a rivalry before United-Liverpool was. And sure, it is a big rivalry now, but i reckon it's souped up by the media who try and make it akin to Barcelona-RealMadrid as the two most successful clubs here. But when you actually speak to Mancunian Rags and listen to the songs they sing at Old Trafford, I always get the impression it's City they hate the most.
If i'm mistaken then they're doing a fucking shit job of not hating us the most...as i say, they're fucking obsessed with us!
"They say that Old Trafford's a wonderful place
but the songs that they sing are a fucking disgrace
With full backs and half backs and forwards too
with their hands down their shorts they've got fuck all to do
The Stretford End sing and the Stretford End shout
the songs that they sing they know fuck all about
So we all agree where those bastards should be
shovelling shit on the Isle of Capri
Of Capri of Capri
shovwelling shit on the Isle of Capri"
