What is it exactly that we hate about em ?

[DortmundDummy]

most blues in this thread have`nt actually said anything pertinent, as in a `real` reason why they are different, just saying they are scum etc is`nt really real is it ? Having met many a cockerney on my travels and learning they`ve been a fan since the tragedy is testimony to their fickleness to where they live ie London Munich Paris New York Rome pop music

I have posted this before but, when Leeds got relegated, a red I worked with at the time (from Gosport by the way), stuck a couple of pictures on the wall he had cut from the newspaper. One was of a little Leeds fan about 10 years old crying because Leeds had been relegated, the other one was of Alan Smith kissing his Leeds badge at the last game of the season. He thought this was highly amusing.
Within a couple of weeks, Alan Smith had signed for Stretford Rangers and the Alan Smith picture disappeared overnight. The picture of the little lad stayed on the wall.
That's an indication of why I hate the fuckers.

Having been born andbred on the wrong side of the Irish Sea i have had too many dealings with the $ky reds and the odd one or two of them I have actually found to be knowledgable about football.
As for the rest.....like the tw@t that finds great fun in texting me every time City dont win (even though every time he starts he ends up with a very severe dose of rotten egg plastered all over his face), that once said to me after his first visit to sold trafford " we are now real fans cause we have been to a game" (at the time I was working with him, earning roughly the same amount of money and was attending approx 18 - 20 games a season), Thje big red in a previous work that would always big up their players until I asked him when was the last time he was at Sold trafford and replied that he hadnt been YET (he was over 40 years of age), the bloke that "used to go during the Tommy Doc era" but couldnt afford it anymore (fair play, at least he had been a supporter once upon a time).
A couple of months ago one of the girls I work with asked for advice on how to get to Manchester (from NI), as she wanted to take her father as a 60th birthday present, as she is a decent sort of person I advised her on hotels, flights, transfers etc etc and where to eat and where to shop (thinking that if she knew about the shops her two daughters and mother and herself would prefer this to visiting the morgue) but they got tickets from a liverpool fan (who is also a UEFA official) and her husband (also a liver pool fan) is going to the swamp tomorrow for the game, but while she was asking my advice in the office an arsenal fan (that has been going regularly to north london for over 30 years) swore about the rags, shocked to hear peter swear as he is normally very polite, she asked why does EVERYONE HATE MANURE?
wrong question as the two most midl mannered in the office (one a red dipper and the gooner) let rip.
Man ure................you either hate them or..........................you fuckin hate them (p.s. if the theiving cnut that stole my lighter in the beehive all those years ago is reading, I would like it back thanks).

Just been talking to a bloke at work who is a Blackpool supporter and he was going on about how much he hates Preston and everything about em and it got me too thinking about us and them lot over at the swamp, what exactly is it that i or indeed we as city fans hate about them, is it the fans, the club, the players ? I mean i have a cpl of rag mates but at the same time if i meet someone first time and find out they are a rag im immediatly put off them .. so yeah was just wondering what is it exactly .. other than of course the fact they are all huge twunts ??

I`ve noticed from the years my children have been going through school that when ever a bully or a knob ed of the classes name crops up invariably they are scummies, and I can only deduce they take it through life with them. Like you I have many good mates who are u****d fans but when I see a red shirt on holiday or I find out they come from the dark side I switch off, infact I can`t help it, if I see a red shirt I automatically think `PRICK`......I should`nt but I do.

Think arrogance think united.

THIS EXACTLY. ONLY 2ND POINT IN FORUM BUT CAN`T ARGUE WITH IT !

Damocles - I don't understand the game because I'm a United fan? Absolutely pathetic if im being honest.
You think because you've had a shit team for years and have bought a few mercenaries that you are a football expert?
Just read some of the posts on here and that will answer you point, posts comparing city with barcelona and iniesta with barry, laughable at best.

I'll happily take my ban on the chin if i'm binned for this but the drivel you've just posted is horseshit

Of course I wouldn't ban you for having a pop at me ssg, you should know that by now.

You've misunderstood my post. I'm not saying that you don't understand tactics, training or how to play the game or whatever. I'm saying that United fans have never experienced the 'other side' of the game. United have been successful now for two decades, and there are a large amount of their fans who have no idea what it is like to worry about relegation, to go to Grimsby on a wet Wednesday afternoon and watch your team play like schoolchildren. To attach hero status to a funny looking Bermudan striker because he scored lots for you in Division Two. To pin your hopes and dreams on Kevin fucking Horlock.

Football is like this for 87 teams. Those other 5 or so have no real knowledge of that type of dedication, appreciation and emotion. Finishing second and not signing £30 million players is an excuse to start up another club in protest of the 'despicable' period that your team is going through.

That was my point. Football to 95% of teams is a completely different supporter experience to that other 5%. To be honest, it's depressing as fuck. You think it's bad to finish second in the league? Think how bad it is to watch Steve Lomas run the ball into a corner and seeing yourself get relegated. Then relegated again, to the point of bankruptcy.

Most United fans have never experienced this very real side of the game, and this is what I meant when I said that they don't understand football, not that they don't understand how the game is played.

Also, isn't it funny how players come to us for "money" yet players come to you for "glory". Wayne Rooney's £200,000 a week contract must give him loads of glory. That makes him higher paid than leading goalscorer Carlos Tevez by the way.

Absolutely everything.

Even the colour red knocks me sick..

 

[bennyboy]

Theatre of Dreams pish,Hated the manky mob with a passion before,no way it could get worse until some wank came up with that shite.

 

[john@staustell]

Everything. I hated them in the late 60s and I hate them now. I hated them when Best, Buchan and Keane seriously injured 3 of our players. And I hate their tendency to employ nasty, horrible, spiteful, evil people like Taggart, Keane, Shrek, Crerand, Thomas, Neville etc etc - the list is endless. I hated the way they rubbed our nose in the dirt as we plummeted and they grew, and boy are they gonna get paid back!

Most of all it's these plastic fans who think football began in 1992. They have no idea that the Orcs went 25 years without winning the league. And when the evil Mordor empire falls, they'll all fuck off quicker than you can say Taggart. And due to the Glazers price extortion, most of the original fans have fucked off too!

EDIT - oh and the colour red for me too. Scum, communism...........ugh!

Well said,Damo.
The bigger question for me is,why do they hate City so much?
Not so much the last 2 years,but since i was a kid they have hated us.
I think it's the fact that we,as fans stick with City no matter how shit we are/were.
They can not understand that,and does not compute.

Most of them are inadequate in there lives in some way and the only way they can brag about being winners is through there club
