Main Rivals - Chelsea or United?

[tonycoleman]

who will be our main rivals - Chelski or the Salford reds?
for me it will always be the red sox but chelski did win 2 trophies and will be our opponents in the charity shield at villa park (paul power where art thou?)

United hands down. And I'm pretty sure everyone will agree.

Rags.

utd, Chelsea are probably going to lose Drogba for starters and are going to rely on Torres as his replacement.

bitter rags not a big match for us anymore tbh

playing teams that have won silverware more recently than them is much
more interesting

like liverpool they do have 'istree though and when they play each other the amount of 'istree on show is just massive

Depends - Roman has royally fooked up the club with the manager changes - Clearly Ancelotti was a decent manager and De Matteo seems to be making a decent job of it

If they spend well and keep De Matteo then they will be a top top outfit again so for me it will be both but all depends upon signings

United.

Chelsea for me, the rags are becoming increasingly irrelevant ;)

When playing Chelsea you have to respect the fact they're European champions.

However, when playing utd you need to respect their history and romance, oh and their big crowds too.

So long as we don't invent our own 'derby' like they did with Liverpool, I'm not arsed.

Asking rags for a list of teams they hate is always fun, it's basically any team that's had the gaul to challenge them in the past 25 years.

That chelsea team is starting to get really old now and they dont seem to have anyone from this world class youth system they go on about coming through so i think the red fucks will be our main rivals
