Rather manipulatively, you have taken a selection of my posts out of context, when all of them were responses to something your COC would call wumming. It would be much more disingenuous if I came on here and pretended to agree with some of the nonsense that is blurted out on this thread. I don't agree with many of the opinions, so I offer my own POV. I didn't mention Spurs until almost 2 weeks had passed, but when we got beat on sunday there were plenty of bluemooners on here looking for me so they could stick the knife in.

If you don't understand the rivalry rules fella, then you're on the wrong forum..

Mills and Boon...this aint.

It's always tricky when it comes to opposition fans on here. They generally take pelters, but it antagonises people when they respond in kind.

It's the same on any forum though. If you registered on a United or Liverpool forum and were riling the locals, you'd get banned.

It's a shame that you can't really have sensible debate, but it's just how things are.

Personally not that arsed about what shallyman says myself though. I don't take him too seriously.

Point well made there, Ric.

However, the two sites you mentioned have few, if any, locals, and are therefore more blinkered than even we are!

So after watching your team win everything you jacked in your season ticket when GPC 'chose' Moyes, your team went into decline and trophies became a thing of the past. The very epitome of a glory hunter.

I don't really look at the United forums, they are all a bit of a closed shop, like you need a letter from the pope to get in. I did read a derby thread last year and the majority of posts were pretty complementary about the city players, but that's the distinction I have found. United fans don't dislike City players, or the football club. They dislike City fans. And the reason why they dislike City fans, is because SOME City fans have made it their lives work to destroy anything related to United. It's like a defensive mechanism.

Dari O?
No one on this thread is more deserving of this than you flower...

Tell you what I do know, you're trying a bit too hard to prove you're a honest-to-goodness reall Manu fan, and reel out the standard answer from every United fan I meet in the pub/work etc., when asked why they don't actually go to matches... "well I used to go every week, but... a) football's dead these days b) can't get a ticket... or c) too expensive!

Also, not from the area myself – but you've intimated you lived near Main Road, were chased through Birchfields park (so heading towards Levy then)... yet you lived round the corner from Alex Williams, who it seems actually lived in Stockport... hmmm! sniff sniff

You say you lived around the corner from Alex Williams Shallyman? You are a Stockport red then?

Erm...Japanese whiskey aside, Alex lived in the 70's houses behind the D&P on didsbury road. Just behind Parrs Wood playing fields. He had a balcony from his bedroom. My pal Peter lived a few houses down. Used to see him a lot. He came to a Charity event at my school and I took a penalty against him. Paul Simpson lived in the wimpey estate off Burnage lane and used to walk his dog along the monkey path. I used to live off Kingsway in Burnage. Birchfields park was the route I took to get the 50 bus home.

Anyway..what was the point I was trying to make...can't remember?

Nights are drawing in, aren't they? *whistles*

I have lived in Manchester all of my life, and only moved away this year. And City were never on my hate list growing up. I went to a few city games with my School and even attended the Mark Lillis soccer school. City players lived near me, and we respected them. There was no snide remarks or owt like that. The social club at maine road was the venue for many functions when I was growing up, and it was never a problem. I stood on the Stretford end for over a decade, when we were getting turned over by the likes of Derby County! And I was a season ticket holder right up until May 2013, when we lifted the title and Sir Alex called it a day. And I thought to myself at the end of that season, that I've seen everything possible... Platini, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldo (The brazilian) Messi...won every trophy available to a club side. I was content, and I thought about those days on the Stretford end, when you'd be stood at the back of the stand and we'd score and like some sort of weird surfing experience, you'd be transported 50 feet on a wave of suspended bodies. It was the best feeling ever, and as I looked around at the Norwegian and Chinese tourists with their selfie sticks and ipads, I knew the game was up. I'll always be a United fan, but all that matchday experience, face-painting, jester hats, fanzones, not allowed to stand up, CCTV, do as your told bollix, I'm not paying good money for that shit. And for some of you older folks on here, it's a crime that your footballing fortunes have changed during a period where the corporates have sanitized the experience so much that you can't even throw your arms around the person sitting next to you when your team score.

What a load of bollox. You've fallen out of love with football because your teams shit and you can't take it. City fans have had to take shit from you lot for years. Ever since Ferguson bought you your first Premier League title we've had to listen to - "this is how it feels to be City", Bitters, Council House, "Are you City in disguise", Wastelands etc. Now it's our turn to lord it and you lot are playing the football isn't what it used to be crap. United fans have always been shit supporters and now your proving it. Why don't you man up and admit it's time for you lot to back your team through the bad times.
