Even the players are wondering

Prick's taken the picture off now and added on of some Cnut called Eric.... Unless I've abused the wrong rag

You have abused the correct rag, congrats mate keep up the good work.

I wonder what the average IQ is of someone who does that.

 

[blueduff]

Will this lad be abused as much as that other twat, the gladiator guy? I hope so, what a twat!

I wonder what the average IQ is of someone who does that.

I'd hazard a guess at it being pretty similar to his age.

Why on earth would somebody post stuff like this on Twitter with a picture of themselves and name?

Some people are to stupid for words.

The "helmets" line is interesting. perhaps he models his twitter persona on thank-you joey. I'd feel contempt, but really its just sad.

If you all remember back to when Chelsea were taken over the hate was the same.

The best explanation I could get for it was that we had no right, we hadn't earned it, that the players weren't here to play for City but to play for the money.
(What, and the rest of the premiership players are what? Playing for pixies?)

There's biterness, I understand it, but it's so vicious at times.
There are a few clubs who have done well enough for a season fighting for top 4, without spending extraordinary amounts of money, and fair play to them.
Look at Spurs this season for instance, but in reality 2 years ago, we were just like them, a mid table team with no real hope of pushing for a title. Maybe if we put in a massive effort we might come close for 1 season, but it would be inconsistent and in reality, it wouldn't last.

We were fortunate enough to get lucky and be invested in, now we're incredibly rich and powerfull and on the up (apparently that's a quailty average joe doesn't like..who knew)

Now apparently that's not the way we're supposed to do it.
We're supposed to "earn it" and "build success" see we've no history, (some seem to think the club appeared 2 years ago (just like many think football started in 1992.)

We've no history? That's funny, see I remember being relegated in 96, and 2 years later being relegated to the 2nd division (all while the rags won another 2 titles and I think Arsenal won one as well) and while our stuff mightn't have been headline, fairytale stuff (no, not even close) it was our history and it's made us what we are today.

Now I know that we can't expect any of the other teams to be happy for us? Why should they be? Would we have been happy if say, Aston Villa were chosen instead and they were in our position and we were mid table (at best)?

We'd be green. Why them? What makes them so special?
At the end of the day, 2 years ago we were no better than them, and overnight that changed.
We got ever so lucky, and we will gratefully take the hate and use it to build more character, hell the rags have been doing it for years, baconface is a master windup..siege mentality, they're all out to get us..etc.

While we can't hope they'll be happy for us, they can't say they wouldn't be delighted if they were in our shoes, they'd fall off their high horses faster than they got on them.
We got lucky, and no we didn't earn it, but when you look at where we've come from to where we are now, they can't say we don't deserve it.

'The whole Worlds against us' - is the cornerstone of Ferguson psychology and the reason United have a never say die, play for the shirt attitude, and, ultimately, why they are successful.

This.Exactly this.Forget all the bad ref decisions,the garbage spouted by washed up ex players of other clubs who have a vested interest in us failing and turn it into a positive.A ''We will show them'' attitude.

Not ONE club would have refused the takeover money and been ecstatic.Not ONE.The spite,bile and hatred is because they wish it would have been them and resent the fact it isn't.

As for the ref decisions hey we got out of jail a bit on Sunday!Lescott and Balotelli could both have been sent off and for once we got a last minute penalty,though that WAS clear cut.

If we realise we are now the big scalp,that every team will raise their game when they play us and react accordingly and take each game as it comes we should be ok.

I'm at a loss to know how we got out of jail on Sunday, we dominated possession, had more shots both on target and also off target,they didn't have a worthwhile effort until Defoe scored from a gift. Ask yourself which goalkeeper was the busier.
Personally think we deserved the win.

That's the answer to why we're hated. Nothing else.
