Exactly. I'll happily support any English team - but Manchester Utd are NOT English. They used to be, and obviously the global headquarters is still based in England, and they've got a few British players, but they're not 'English' (or even British) any more, not in any real sense. Such is their global nature I don't even think that British people make up a majority of their fans any more.

It's all so different from 1968, or indeed from the days when Liverpool, Forest and Villa won. In those days it really was a sense of the country uniting behind the British teams. Sad that it's come to this but the big clubs have only themselves to blame for alienating 'little' team fans like us.

Oh, and I'm neutral. Shan't even be watching it (going out for dinner) as I don't support either side and consequently don't give a shit who wins.

No point in typing it again, sums up my exact feelings

Come on United

We should all get behind Manchester United tomorrow as they are representing our nation. I agree that Sir Alex can be annoying at times and that some of their players make ones blood boil, but they an English team. I would support Crystal Palace for an evening if they were playing in the final of the champions league.

 

[Chamberpot]

Yeah I agree with united being in the final and getting behind them, but for palace no chance.

 

[British Bulldog]

I normally get behind the English team but I've made an exception in this game, I hope Barcelona thrash them.

 

[DerbyGull]

f*** off manure! I hate everything about the premiershit and manure epitomize it, so i hope they lose.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I suspect more people on here will want United to lose, rather than Barca to win.

 

[Commander]

I cant believe people actually call Man Utd manure.

Barcelona annoyed the hell out of me with their outrageous cheating in the semi final against Madrid.

But you've got to admit, it would be absolutely HILARIO if they turn over Manure doing the same thing, especially if the ref is useless and indulges them. Thats the final I'M hoping for. An apopleptic Fergie and hoards of whining plastics grizzling about how UNFAIR it all is, oh my life. That really would be tremendous.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I cant believe people actually call Man Utd manure.

Used to work with Doncaster fan who hated them. He produced and distrubuted a load of mouse-mats with the United badge on it, but the words "Scumchester United" replacing the usual wording. He was threatened with legal action by the club, and proudly showed off his legal letter from Martin Edwards.

i refer you to my thoughts posted on another thread:

[Simster]

Can't really get behind either team. Hopefully it'll be a good game though.

 

[Racek]

f*** off manure! I hate everything about the premiershit and manure epitomize it, so i hope they lose.

Would you not like to see us in the premiership?

 

[chucky1973]

Utd for me and I hope Rooney upstages Messi and scores a hat-trick

correct answer

This. Life is too short to keep on hating Utd just for the sake if it. Not saying I want them to win mind, I just want these two teams to deliver a great game worthy of the occasion and for the big name players to show what the fuss is really all about. This has the potential, like so many CL finals, to be a great game, I just hope it's not the same old tedious let-down it normally is.

 

[pork pie]

I normally get behind the English team but I've made an exception in this game, I hope Barcelona thrash them.

So do I. I really hate Manure, and would now want them to win an egg and spoon race.

When you say "they are representing our nation" are you referring to the fact that Man Utd fans are spread all across the country and mainly consist of [insert naff lager] drinkers who sit in front of their 42" Plasma watching "Super Sunday" and have never even been to the North-west let alone Old trafford? In which case I can see your point.

If, more likely, you think they somehow represent the entire nation then I think you are mistaken, I don't see them sporting the cross of St George or the three lions. As far as I'm concerned it's 2 clubs (one of which happens to be english) that I couldn't give a shit about playing the final of a football competition.
