Now we are loathed by all with none of them stopping to think, We're still the same club we've always been... Same humour, Same loyalty. Just with the money and players they would like at thier own club. Hence the resentment and bitterness.
Personaly, I couldn't give a rats arse which of them love us, hate us or are indifferent... I'll always be a blue and that's all that matters.

My Dad remembers an away day there in the 80's where we were relegated and the West Ham fans invaded the pitch at the end and ran to the City end and applauded the Blues. Then my Dad said the walk out of the ground was seen with the Hammers along the road shouting "hope to see you back soon" and people clapping.
I went to West Ham away on my birthday about five or six years ago and ended up in a West Ham pub and their lot were drinking and singing with us.
They're the only other set of fans in the country i like. I'm sure they feel the same about us.

"I'm not a City fan, just hate United and I hope City win the league beacause it would really piss them of and make a lot of football fans really happyf" which really pissed off the fella serving me because he had to pipe up "I'm a red, not hardcore or anything, but why do you hate United...?" to which the other fella replied..."Just that, you say you support United but don't go, not hardcore just arrogant, that's why, everybugger hates the fans of United"
Loved it.................................
Thank god he had provided me with the food I ordered before hand............!!!!
