To me it's like there are different 'flavours' of hate. The rags will always be my single most hated club in the history of world football - in fact, in the history of world anything. That is something that will never ever change. It is a hatred that has festered within me for all my adult life (and for most of of my childhood, too). This hatred intensified 100 fold under the Pisscan.
In short, the rags are (and always will be) top of my list of most hated teams...ever.
Second in my list are the dippers. Back in the sixties and seventies I was apathetic and indifferent to what they did: I just couldn't muster up enough interest to give a fuck what they were doing. They were an irrelevance.
Then Bodgers arrived on the scene and the whole thing changed irrevocably. That çunt wound me up almost as much as the Pisscan with his snide comments and his constant digs at us. There was that whole 'Support Suarez' thing: the entire club encouraging the little shit to go around screaming racial abuse and biting people. Their over-the-top hysteria when we bought Raz and the subsequent revulsion and antagonism towards all things City. The cheering at our injured players...we all know the rest so I don't need to repeat it all.
Suffice to say my intense hatred of all things rag will never change, but those Scouse bastards are slowly but surely climbing up and mounting a serious challenge to them.
