AthleticoSpizz Such loyalty has to be admired


They really do have "special" fans that are completely different from your average football fans. Loved the interviews by the BBC after the derby. City fans interviewed with Mancunian accents. Man Yoo fans were a mixture of southerners, Northern Irish and Asians frothing at the mouth.

So?

Nowt personal, but this whole thing about where fans are from bores me to tears. United are the most successful team of the last 20 years. They have fans that aren't from Manchester. Is this a surprise?

sandman Well the kraziness doesn't stop there as now another group has hired another plane with a different message.


Hope the second banner is just a huge :|

Agree, all successful and big clubs have universal followings scattered around every town and city you wish to name. Leeds are pretty bad offenders for it in this league never mind the Prem clubs.

Man Utd & Liverpool are probably the worst for it but they've both been hugely successful over extended periods so it's inevitable - it's up to the individual who they support of course but it's hardly surprising either that other fans are going to take a swipe at glory hunters who take the easy option of following the Big Brand teams.

Really does just emphasise how many of their current fans didn't experience their pre PL success. Just a lot of spoilt kids who dont understand that they had it better than anyone for 20 years and eventually things change.

Not so, remember someone having a banner at Old Trafford in 1989 saying something like "3 years of excuses we're shit bye bye Fergie". I suspect it's more to do with individual helmets who get carried away and want to get on the news/tv/papers etc. You can imagine the types that do it :|

King of Sting Still in the title race



:lol:

Retro laughed at me for suggesting in February that Liverpool were still in the title race and United were not. Not saying we will win it but yet again he was wrong as Liverpool are top of the league in April.

Why has no one commented about how they held the champions to a decent 1-1 draw?

^^^^^
Read the post. I am talking about this season. If you are seriously suggesting discussing this season is going on about the past then I am embarrassed for you. Chins up etc etc.

Belgian newspaper got hold of Januzaj's shinpads from the Bayern game and claim this means he has chosen to represent them. I find it more interesting that he has his own face on them.
