United Thread 2014/15

Some poor soul over on the Caf is upset that we call them Rags and refer to LVG as "Turtle Head".

What a bunch of despicable c**ts we are ;)

If they knew anything about their own history, they would know that it was Manchester United fans which gave their own team the nickname 'the Rags'. Due to the state of their kit during rough times.

Harry Hughes, a City fan working in Trafford, tells this story:

“I worked in Trafford then, and all the locals were United fans. I was working nights and when Saturday morning arrived a couple of them asked ‘are you going to see the Rags today?’ I didn’t know what that meant, and then they explained that United fans had started to call their own team the ‘Rags’ because they were so poor and that their kit looked liked rags...

We are:

1. Bitter.
2. Disrespectful (to their history, and their manager).
3. Jealous (of their global popularity).

Feel free to add any other shortcomings we have toward out illustrious neighbours (who are in no way noisy......or obsessive).

I jolly well hate the red fuckers.

Well we call them far worse, but he probably struggled with some of the longer words.

Which was kind of the point I was making to be honest. If a football fan is going to get over-sensitive about fans of their fiercest rivals coming up with such innocuous nicknames then they're not really cut out to be a football fan.

I profoundly agree with number 2.

Spot on mate. Perhaps the reason they get so upset about it is that we hijacked it for much greater effect.

Harry Hughes went on to say that when WW2 broke out a ban was placed on large crowds of people gathering in public places to which City fans joked that United wouldn't have anything to worry about, given that their crowds were so shite at the time!

Agree 100% mate, that facetious, glory hunting, holier than thou, lurking, insufferably arrogant, hopelessly deluded, pox ridden, unwashed, treble commemorative mug owning, history and grief merchanting, hypocritical, neurotic whinging rag Cockwomble should find something better to get upset about.

Turtle head's man management techniques have got a little out of control:

Good job he hasn't bumped into Gene Hunt, otherwise it would be "You great soft, sissy, girlie, nancy, french, bender, Man United supporting poof"

A decent cup run is all I ask for. Now that the Rags have won the USA World Cup they will again dominate the League and Europe with all the best players queuing up to join them. Oh well such is life for a Blue.

Hopefully they will be sated by their triumph, thus allowing our valiant foot-soldiers a morsel of optimism for the struggle ahead.
