I'm glad this thread is here because I have never ever understood any of the things they call us or the reasons as to why. To be honest I don't think most of them do either they just go along with it because that's what they do best. I've never once felt angry at Citeh, Berties, Liars, Stockport, Massive or Bitters. Whenever I've argued with any of them and they resort to Bitter Blue they keep laughing as if they've got one up on us and think they've won the arguement and I'm left thinking to myself WTF?
I just don't get any of them. I really wish they would call us something that has some actual genuine meaning that pissed me off but they don't. Fucking nonces the lot of them. As to the question is there more Rags than blues locally then I would have to say yes because they get so many dickheads than hang on that no fuck all about anything but want to be associated with success and something good in their lives. There's also the overseas factor where every man and his dog love to tell the family back home about their once in a lifetime trip to Old Trafford - probably on a Tuesday afternoon walk around the ground - and look at the photos we got, it's a great talking point.
Now ask how many local Rags actually go regularly and I think you will find the number shockingly different compared to the number of match going Blues. As I said earlier fucking nonces the lot of them.
