United thread 2012/13 (inc merged IPO thread)

[Trollsmoan]

I've offered a few rags a bet that Moyes won't see out his contract, funny not one taker!

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!!?

You guys are even watching our end of season awards.

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.

Liverpool are our rivals in terms of success.Everybody recognizes that in the past two decades they have not been our rival in terms of challenging for trophies. However, other than past 2/3 years we still took our games with liverpool to be more important in us winning than with yours. Obviously right now you and chelsea are our biggest rivals in terms of competing for trophies. But my point is, although we have had many rivals over the year, i have never been that obsessed to even watch their end of year awards. I literally dont see the point in watching in watching them.

It seems from this that united fans who say Liverpool is still their biggest game are wrong or lying.

I would have no interest watching your end of season farce, my post originated from one of the many channels that sponsor your club to the hilt. Sky, by the way are you aware you are on Bluemoon Furgie!!.

I assume you are a fucking plastic rag, I don't know a single rag who thinks Liverpool are your rivals. I grew up remembering you were shit; yes it was a different era and we eventually trod a different path but those rags I knew all still understood who their true rivals were.
