Absolutely this. If a club is successful, for me it’s about how their fans behave with that success. The rags during the gpc era stooped to depths I’ve not seen before or since. They took more pleasure from our demise than their own success which tells you all you need to know. Hope the fuckers implode.I hate the rags most too. But unlike the OP, it wasn't because of their success (which also coincided with our worst era) no, I wasn't jealous of that, a little envious yes, (as I was envious of when Chelsea got taken over, wishing it could have been us ... but I didn't hate them for it)
My hatred came from their totally classless, and sneeringly, arrogant mocking way of 'enjoying' their success and our slide into the third division. Ironically, I didn't hate the dippers for their success prior to the rags. I actually admired it then.
That banner, is something I will never forget, and never forgive. That the club endorsed it made it ten times worse, as I saw it as complete disrespect towards MCFC, the club that had helped them out on more than one occasion in their past.
The other thing I hate about them (I am sure there are other reasons, but these are the main two) is the total hypocrisy in the whole 'right way', and 'utd way' they peddle. Either ignorant, or just disregarding the amount of sugar daddy investment, right back to their days as Newton Heath (the shame of my hometown) that they have benefitted from. Which got them, along with Sky TV deals to be able to spend more and buy more than any other club in the 90's ... and yet they say we buy titles etc.
So, for as much as I despise the dipper's behavior, both club and fans in recent seasons, it will always be the rags who I hate most.
