United thread 2012/13 (inc merged IPO thread)

[bluelol]

I see Furgie couldn’t resist a dig at the united end of season dinner at those clubs changing managers. I wonder if little old City was his motivation!!?

I clocked this one to. Fucking bitter ***** aren't they.

Naaa, there’s only us that bitter St Helens you know this!!.

They are all over the Etihad expansion stories on the MEN and Daily Mail sites too... barely any of them from Manchester of course yet throwing around words like "plastic". They're like vermin, there is no escaping them. These people legit think we only sell out against United, when derby attendances are never our highest of the season.

Whenever Liverpool appear in the news united fans rarely employ this tactic.

Their preoccupation with us is astonishing, not for the fact of it, as we are hardly blameless towards them in that regard, but because of their comical levels of denial about it.

Liverpool's still their big game though.

The difference is that we accept (or at least most of us) that we are preoccupied with united. Not to the extent that we hate united more than we love City, that would be preposterous, but it is a big part of what defines us as fans. This is normal (eez normal) with an inter-city rivalry, especially one with the history of our two clubs. Two leading clubs in one of the leading leagues in the world, one of whom is the most successful domestically is bound to engender a significant degree of rivalry .

united fans, however, are still in a state of utter and complete denial about our place in their world: they sing about us endlessly at games; any City article with a comments section is replete with comments about what a "classless" club we are (I have always found the use of that word in a footballing sense to be, er, classless); they talk about us (to the almost complete exclusion of other clubs) among each other when they are down the pub. Whenever you see them interviewed outside old trafford with tiresome predictability most responses are punctuated with an almost Pavlovian reference to City.

And yet their fans still try and pretend that we are an insignificant consideration to them. That Liverpool is their big game and united/Arsenal games have a peerless tradition.

Like the bloke that spends the whole evening slagging off a woman to his mates, but swearing blind to them, when challenged, that he doesn't fancy her, united fans have this collective, and comical, blind-spot about little old City's place in their hearts.

The sooner you guys wake up, realise and admit who your true rivals are these days the more you'll enjoy the experience. As things stand it just seems to make you bitter and a little obsessed about the whole subject tbh.

Good post GDM.
They'll never admit it, the bitterness runs too deep for united fans to give City any credit. They'll refer to us as they would dog-shit on their shoes. I'm happy enough for them to continue with this 'tactic' as it makes them look even more stupid than they actually are.

I think it's fair to say that united fans sing more about City than any other club (even their own sometimes), they roll out the 'English Classico' bollocks every year whenever they face Liverpool and keep telling us all, that it's the biggest match in world football. Nobody really swallows this bullshit, except the brainwashed morons of Essex, Dublin and Singapore, that brings a smile to my face.

If they're happy towing this party-tline, then I'll happily mock the fools. Year-on-year they give us more ammunition, the faux attendances, the 670,000 parade, the fountain of youth academy players that populate their first team, Paddy Crerand, Ronnie Irani, Viva Ken Barlow.

united fans will keep us entertained for many years to come and I for one welcome hearing their delusions, it just re-inforces my pride in being blue and knowing that even though City have some numpties supporting them, one a mass level we're too smart believe the utter shite poured out by Sky and the tabloids. Keep up the good work united, there are a lot of people mocking you for the fools you are.

For the same reason I watched Thatcher's funeral.
