Imagine that you've spent virtually your whole life basking in the security and knowledge that your oppo is crap and no threat...then all of a sudden,bang!
Rags generally are the dismissive,arrogant nobs that you simply cannot have a footballing discussion with without hearing a stream of cliches when you challenge any of their brainwashed media-based mantras.
With a few notable exceptions,they have a in-built superiority complex,automatic fall back one-liners and a total utter lack of knowledge of their own history other than what Sky tell them.
The "council house" jibe is one that always makes me laugh.The vast majority of them totally ignorant of the re-build of the swamp with government cash,and with City as their landlords...about them being virtually bankrupt,about how a bunch of ex-City players virtually saved their club, Busby playing for City and Liverpool...the list is endless. They don't have a clue.
I put the anger and hatred down to fear.Fear that season on season,City are inexorably close,breating down their necks...fear that their best midfielder is 37..fear that a near 70 year old ferguson is somehow holding it all together..fear that they will no longer be able to be unthinking in their dismissive snearing at anyone who dares to call them out.
Fear that for the first time in their lives they will actually have to think...
