as it's pantomime season........ Ohhhhhh no it isn't!!!!!!!!!!

My old Team Leader when I worked at CIS was from Moston and went home and away with them.
Yep. I had to get a train to Brum on a Sunday for a course starting on the Monday. The train's terminal destination was London. I was surrounded by the fuckers. Half were cockneys, the rest were French.WestGorton said:Not hundreds. Thousands upon thousands. Name a local one who goes. I can't.Bilboblue said:peoffrey said:I think that's a myth for London.

I've got some acquaintances who are old school rags and who have always been arrogant fuckers. However to pretend that no-one has ever come across any in Manchester like some on this thread is just frankly embarrassing.
The one thing they all admit is that the swamp is 90% full of ignorant tourists these days while we still seem to pretend that our fanbase is all dyed in the wool blues that have all been following the team for years through thick and thin.
And dont even get me started on the reds that switched allegiance are ok but blues that did the same are all tossers.....
They hate it that we are a threat again now so lets not lower ourselves to their mentality.

I live in Pembs South Wales (born and grew up in Stockport area until age 9)
I can honestly say that all the locals in all my local pubs are plastic rags. I only get to come up to City maybe twice a year but not one of these muppets have ever been to OT. The stick I have had over the years when in local boozers in the derby matches has been painful but now the tide has turned these nob heads are not so cocky anymore. What pisses me off the most though is that when the rugby is on, they hate and I mean hate the English with a passion. I always make a point of reminding everyone of them when they slagging us off that they ''support'' a team from Manchester!! So what is that about!?? They never have any sort of answer that justifies it apart from maybe 'I was bought a united top as a youngster yada yada..... Nob Heads.

Speaking of Rags in London, when I taught there in the late 90's the majority of the kids I taught claimed to support 'Man Yoo'. I remember the year when we were in the old 3rd div and I was going to all the games down in the South East. I had a big City banner up in my classroom so all the students knew I was a Blue. Anyhow.....
One day I was takin a Geography cover for Year 11 (That's 5th year to all you old folk) and this Cockney rag was giving it the large one when I walked up to the door and carried on when I was inside. I noticed behind me a huge map of the British Isles behind me, this thing was enourmous, so I walked over to it and said:-
'OK, Big Mr Manchester United fan, can you point out Manchester for me?'
The cocky little git walked up bold as brass and pointed to his spot and said 'Here'.
My only response in shock, amazement and laughter was 'Sorry mate, that would be Tipperary in Ireland'
All was quiet for the next hour :o)

Nearly came to blows with a family member on boxing day night, ironically, after the West Brom game. Won't bore you with the row in full but it was the usual money rant. Obviously he never goes but always has an opinion. I hate every last one of them but having them as family is even worse.

My best mate is a rag, he is a plastic, he's been to 2 united games in his life but is reasonable and is one of the few people that i can have a proper football related conversation with mind u every other rag i know is extremely cocky and support liverpool when times are tough (1 trophy seasons).
I can see "united fans" wearing spurs shirts in the not so distant future.

My twin brother and my 2 best mates are rags! I have had years of watching the derbies in the pub and being ridiculed. Made the 6-1 even more sweet that they could all be there I share the result....hahahahaha. My brother is the worst kind of rag aswell knows fuck all about football as he doesn't watch any other matches than theirs, yet has an opinion on everything!!
