When I first started following City in the late 50's there wasn't the hatred that is now commonplace, indeed some fans used to watch both teams, believe it or not. I, now, after donkey's years of piss takes from pond life who need to associate themselves with success, together with a sneering attitude about us and other teams, am firmly in the hate camp. We've all got decent rag mates, but the club itself is symptomatic of everything that I loathe about aspects of the game, and a slow death would be relished by me, although I doubt it would happen. I also love pointing out that,without exception, Manchester United are the most hated club on the planet.
