A man after my own heart! 'Know your enemy' is my motto here, but better still get yourself a copy of this book:
Every Blue should own it; it dishes the dirt on them in spades and throws an accurate, if jaundiced, history lesson in there too.
Failing that, ask them if they're going on {date of next home game}. Indeed, ask them who they're playing. Chances are they won't know.
If they respond with the old favourite "I can't get a ticket" - ring their ticket line up on 0161 868 8000 and ask in a voice loud enough to wake the dead if they've got any tickets left. Almost inevitably these days, they will have some. Even if they haven't your average tame rag won't know that they haven't so just tell they have and shout out: "Does anyone need a ticket for the match against....?" Bobby Charlton style. I can absolutely guarantee - from the experience of working in an office full of plastics, Teletext reds and B&Q rags - that your workplace will fall as quiet as the grave. If, however, anyone does chirp up to say they'd love to go but can't afford it, offer to lend them the money till payday, adding with a flourish: ""After all, I've been once this season, so it's only right that you should go to see the team you purport to support at least once in your lifetime."
Needless to say, apart from putting up sad little clippings from the MUEN up around their desks, I don't get any stick off them.

I like to refer to them as "preferrers" ie they prefer Utd rather than support them. This really gets their goat down here in Oxfordshire

Does that book mention that United fans are in protest against the owners?
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1249124/Manchester-United-fans-boycott-season-tickets-anti-Glazer-green-gold-campaign-grows.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... grows.html</a>
Season ticket sales are down 13.000 this season and 35.000 over the last 5 years.
Does it mention that Harris, the bloke that gave you the sugar daddies, he has got the billion together our Yanks want for Manchester United, all United fans and MUST in a Barcelona type deal,It's just a matter of time now, does it mention United are a football club, one of the richest in the world, not because the owner has billions spread about everywhere in his own country and other business stuff(that's why you are about 15th in the rankings), its because we make our own money, from football not OIL,BTW that's being over taken soon by green alternatives, you dirty pollutant bitters.;)
