Not at all. I simply said that United fans that have never ince been to Old Trafford irritate me. Sorry if that offends you. I know that you will take particular umbridge to my comments on this thread given who you support. I shan't lose any sleep over it though.


Alan Medic. Apologies for not acknowledging your post. I know a couple of United suporters that are adamant it shouldn't be used. Horses for courses.

Ahh right. I'm with you now. Someone starts a thread about United fans in Dulwich, then someone else questions why all these Londoners support out of town teams with no connection to them. I make a comment and I'm the big bad wolf. Fair enough.


Tell me Atticus, were you one of those bitter blues who were pleased you lost on Sunday as it edged United ever closer to United? Must have been a tough decision given how close you are to catching us.

So it was deeply offensive to United fans but now it's just a couple you happen to have met. What have horses for courses got to do with anything in this context?


I work with a kid originally from Africa now living in London. He put on his facebook page that seeing United for the first time (at Wembley) was the greatest moment of his life. He's United crazy but he's never been to OT. Can't afford it. His girlfriend is about to have his baby. Funnily enough he said that in Zimbabwe he was the odd one out as most people support Liverpool. Not sure how many have ever seen Liverpool play. At least he has been to 1 game.I'll let him know how irritated you are by him.

I think Annasfield was reffering to Londoners and Southerners who claim to worship Man U and haven't been to OT medic not your african kid.


I agree with her 100% but I like Anna am a supporteer of my team not a fan, and you may hate it and think it's irrational, but supporters know who is and who ain't fairly quickly. I think it probably bothers me less than Anna, but I absolutely recognise the difference.

I see where you are coming from Anna and quids, I'm lucky to make 3 games a season due to cost (home cost us around ?1000 ! But we do make the most of it) even a game like Chelsea away is ?100 at least.

I watch most City games in our MCFC adopted pub but can say I was a Maine Road ST holder from 4 to 13 years old but we moved to Leicester so wasn't feasible to maintain a ST.

I have, personally, transformed the way London Blues get to watch games together in London thugh. Curly Watts will be with us on Sunday when we, sadly, relegate West Ham.

Sorry Irons :(

BR - It's not number of games...i've not been once this season for a host of reasons, it's something else...you're a supporter.


I had a season ticket for 20 years, I first went in 1971, I went home and away most weeks in my 20s, my great uncles jumped over the gates at Wembley for the 1923 Final, i've spent ?1000s and ruined relationships on the irons. I've been chaised, beaten up and knicked follwing them and been scared shitless on dark mid-week nights in, excuse me, northern shitholes and not got back home until 3am. I'm a supporter, always will be.


Draw with you and wins in the other 3 and we're safe :-S



She didn't exactly say that ????'s but if that's what she meant I'd find that mildly irritating. But that's all. Same as I would with anyone pretending to be something they're not. I think the most annoying one's are the one's who don't seem to realise how shallow they appear.

I think all references to the F word should be banned outside of the main season. The Metro and the Evening Substandard used to be especially annoying - you'd have all sorts of major sporting events going on and their back page headline was along the lines of "Viera: I Rather Like Broccoli" or something similarly useless.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
