Don't mind seeing constant success from here, but I spose I might feel a bit different if I lived over in Britain. Only ones I really dislike are bitter, bitter Sunderland fans. :thumbdown:

United fan from salford, not keen on prawns unless they've been turned into crisp by Walkers, became armchair fan when I could'nt recognise the accents all around me and the price went up every other day ( seemingly anyway )

Proud to say I never bought an official kit, ashamed to recall I used to wear about eight scarves ( on wrists, belt hoops, 'round neck )but I was younger then and I thought it was big and clever.

I believe it was actually Ruud Van Horseface who stated in last week's Mail on Sunday (me folks read it) that Manchester United's most fanatical supporters live in the Far East.

Gary Neville pounding the ground, in a fit of pique, after not getting a penalty for a blatant dive, kind of sums them up. Even Everton fans have turned against you, they may even start trying to win their games against you soon:D

Me I make no bones about having hated them since the days of Jordan, Macelroy and McQueen.

You miss the point... Its not about trying to make me contradict myself, its about having something in common with people from different countries/races/religion because you support the same team and therefore have a common ground in which to interact when you wouldnt necessarily otherwise.

We unite on the basis of what we have in common :)

It was only a dive from the one angle though - another camera showed contact was made and it probably should have been given. Fair play to Neville for a) nutting Macca b) saying he'd do it again if Macca got near enough !

Does anyone know where the theory that United have no fans in Manchester started? They've had support worldwide for decades, but in the last few years this seems to translate as none in Manchester. During the 80's having fans from all over was regarded as something to be proud of, but now the anti-United brigade suggest it's something to be ashamed of. Anyone that's been to Manchester will know that the idea of "No Reds In M'cr" is a lie.

Hang on... have I just answered my question? ;)

A voice of reason! Thank you..

Its a cheap and rather immature swipe at Man Utd, which makes the accusers seem rather lame if thats the best they can come up with!

As for.... uniting on the basis of what we have in common, I meant the increased chances of people from different countries supporting the same team this transcending cultural and geographical divides.

C'mon it only takes a modicum of common sense to work that out!!!

You probably miss the essence of what-I-consider-to-be a "football supporter" then, Don.

Football is a partisan sport. Tribal, some might say. It isn't there to transcend race, class, religion, sex or whatever. Probably quite the opposite. It's there to unite people of similar hue, not from opposite ends of the spectrum.

It's funny, because when I first started to get into football (I'd been the City with me old man a few times, but never paid that much attention to the pro game) in 1973 and 1974, United were in Division Two, and our local big club, the Villa, were even lower than that. I never had any concept of hating them at all. The only teams I automatically didn't like were Cocky Leeds and Arsenal, Leeds because they never lost very often, and Arsenal because the TV gantry was always too low there, and you couldn't see the far touchline. All the kids round by us were Liverpool or Leeds fans (or West Ham, strangely), there weren't any Man U at all.

I remember everyone in the year above at school siding with either Leeds or Arsenal, but my year was split between Liverpool and ManYoo.

My parents' neighbours' sons are both Everton fans, simply because they were the 'fashion' team when these young lads were growing up. Imagine being saddled with that for the rest of your life? :evil4:

I dont take it quite so seriously Al, i have no problem in admitting im not a "hardnut" supporter, i just love watching the game and have had the tradition of supporting Man Utd passed down to me from my uncle since i was about 3 years old. We all appreciate it at different levels, none is more "right" than the other. :)

We are still the all-time, no.1 most successful English club of all-time, ever. Read a recent article about Kenyon taking over at Chelsea, I know he's been on gardening leave for a while but he stated he was hoping Chelsea would take over Man Utd as England's most successful club.:uhoh: I don't mind if they do overtake Man Utd, as long as he continues ot overlook who is actually at the very top.
