Since City has come into money, we've had flak from nearly every quarter.
Villa fans gave it out, though by and large, they are a good group at a good club and I hope it goes well for them in the future.
Everton fans gave it out, but they're suffering from small man syndrome probably because we are/were so similar as clubs before the takeover and they hate the fact that we've surpassed them already. Actually, winding up DSOB apart, they seem to have major gripes about the transfer of Lescott rather than anything else.
Spurs fans gave it out, and they have a c**t of a manager, but again, they generally seem to be knowledgeable lads who love their football, fair play to them.
Chelsea fans give it out a little bit, but most of them see that we're playing the game that they took to a new level.
Rags, well, they can go and fuck themselves ten times over.
Basically, you can find that any large group of fans are pretty much ok if you ignore both extremes of opinion and concentrate on the majority. We all share a love of this game, and all love the banter that goes with it.
That is, apart from Scousers. Scousers are a completely different breed of person. Boris Johnson once said that they are addicted to grief and he wasn't far off. Scousers are addicted to drama. Their whole self image is based upon a myth that never existed, their fans seem themselves and their club as a righteous light of goodness in the darkness of the modern football. They are the most English of all the English. Constantly whining, blaming other people, shouting from the tops of the roofs about how huge a tragedy this is for Liverpool/England/Football (delete as applicable).
As I say, in most cases you can delete the extremes and be left with a bunch of decent, footy loving people. However, when you delete the extremes of the scousers, you are left with nothing. They are the Taliban or the Nazis of modern football; a shaky regime based upon nothing but propaganda, bought into by idiots who cannot recognise when they are being played by the 'man'.
I hate them with every fibre of my being, and I wouldn't mind if they went bankrupt tomorrow. I continuously hope that Everton finish above them, just to stick it right up their up turned noses. They are a plague on football who should have been cured the day after they were found guilty of killing fans in Heyshel. They can point to all of the metal trophies in the world about how they are this great club, I'll point to the graves of dead men.
Fuck 'em.
