The embarassed silence on "Fred Tissue" when I pointed this out to them is hilarious.
One of their clever comebacks was....
"Didsbury is full of Queers".
Yes, really. You are not back at school. That's what the imaginitively named "Red Army" came back with.
PMSL.
If you are not a member on there, it is worth it for the comedy value. If you need your faith reaffirming as a Blue after some drab defeat, ten minutes on there will do it nicely.
It kind of pitches itself as a board for "lads". It wants to be a hooligan site, but its members are more the kind who buy hooligan books, rather than get involved. There is a detirmined and unspoken rule that you rarely discuss where you come from. There is virtually no discussion of football (maybe a thread or two a day along the lines of "Fletcher is shite"). even on the day of a game. One of them pictured himself naked except for a United programme over his cock. Lots of them laughed. Some of them glorify football violence in that "United are the hardest team in the land, even though I've never been involved" manner you will remember from school.
They monitor Bluemoon very carefully. This post will be on there in 10 minutes.
As I say, a life affirming place for a Blue. It sums up Man United fans in lots of ways. They're not really that arsed about football. They like the relected glory that tagging along the disneyesque "Man U" bandwagon gives them. They can't understand, I mean really can't understand, why anyone would not support the best supported team in the country.
It's like standing in a pub in Milton Keynes when United are playing some important live game on the telly. Fucking mindless young lads chatting about birds they will never get while occasionally looking up to say "Well played Giggsy".
Give it a go, I urge you.
