Erm, you were all about the ifs and buts. I’ve referenced you directly there. And no title win is hollow, believe me. I’ve seen plenty of them.
Here’s a question; do you think more neutrals would root for you or us? I’m not talking about supporting an English club in Europe because they’re English, I’m just talking about every day domestic competitions. I’m interested to hear your thoughts here
Yes I know I said it,just wanted to hear you say it as well.
The question is an interesting one,I'll attempt to answer it from my perspective and life events,and I'm 49 bear in mind.
I've worked all over different parts of the country during my career,and met and worked with fans from all kinds of clubs,most of the Yorkshire clubs,the midlands,north east,not so much in the south though,and the general consensus was always I support X and whoever is playing United,not a long standing joke neither,every different fan meant it,absolutely hate United,so it was a general thing.
There was no love lost for Liverpool,in certain areas,especially after certain events,which ironically once blocked our path into Europe,but that's life,but I did find a lot of these other fans had a bit of a soft spot for Liverpoool,like a second team syndrome,mainly because the team they supported were shit,Huddersfield etc,but these were guys of a certain age that had seen Liverpool basically win the lot whilst growing up.
Now fast forward to 2008,the year City were formed,you knew that right ? and these guys who used to say,even scousers I worked with in Runcorn,ahh we don't mind City us,we only hate the scum blah.blah,but that's not the case these days at all,and the general thoughts of some fans have become to dislike City as well,which is absolutely fine by us,we are unique,loyal,and most of all dedicated fans.
So after that mad ramble I'd say 60% of other fans dislike Liverpool to the 40% disliking us,its 100% United unless you support them,but if we were speaking in Scandinavia you'd win hands down.
And the reason there is 40% dislike City now ? Just look in the trophy cabinet,and it's every other fans dream to do and achieve what we have,jealousy,and the 60% that dislike Liverpool ? Well as they say,the majority are very rarely wrong.
