Man U Fans

[Atticus]

So, how many times does one have to go to a game to prove themselves worthy of debate?

[Annasfield]

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.

[Atticus]

So it was a swipe at just Man United then, anyone might think that you are venting against them on this topic because you have few other hands to play, what with them about to clinch number 19, a record.

[Annasfield]

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.

[Atticus]

Gd, then perhaps, you'll admit this thread (that started as a quest to find fellow Man U fans) was the wrong place to vent your angst. Perhaps the FF thread would have been more suited.

[Jah Lush]

The football focus thread has already dealt with subject a thousand times and it's tedious and boring. Move on.

[MrBen]

Well said Sir Jah of Lush..

Wonderful stuff tonight from Messi as a Barca v Man United final beckons. He's a joy to watch (I'm a neutral)- almost Maradonna-esque bvt without the bulging eyeballs. He's almost got me watching football again. Lovely stuff.

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.

TONIGHT:

9pm BBC2 - SIR BOBBY CHARLTON: football icon

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.

[????]

,,,not that I have a problem with 'fans' I just don't take their opinions or banter at all seriously, can't help it, that's the way it is for me.

[Bluerevolution]

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

[????]

...on top of which I haven't seen them win anything since i was 17...but you can relate to that (for now ;-))

[Alan Medic]

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.

[kerryb]

Have a spare ticket for Wembley this Sunday. Anybody interested contact me.

[Laddy Muck]

Hey kerryb, I know Re-re was looking for one.

> And the Reds go marching ON ON ON!

Are they and we not allowed even a holiday from this relentless mantra?

[Laddy Muck]

PPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT!

QUE SERA SERA

WHATEVER WILL BE WILL BE

I'M GOING TO WEMBERLEY

QUE SERA SERA!

[Loz]

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.

"innocently" my arse!

[Otta]

Ha ha, just realised I pissed the wrong letters. It was meant to be LFC, but stupid auto correct on my phone has ruined the effect. Damn you phone!!!

[Laddy Muck]

Now THAT is funny!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Laddy Muck]

OOOH QUICK...
