But hey-ho, the sheeplike anti-Man Utd bandwagon rolls on, and yes Man Utd represent a threat to the very existence of professional football in this country with their every victory
If you read my post you'd see that I know dozens (at least 2 dozen anyway) thanks to my connections in Blackpool. With one exception, all of the ManUre fans I know are arrogant (and some are in-law members) so I base my views on that. But they're only arrogant when they're winning-a bad night like last night and an indifferent season soon quietens them down.
Remember-I'm only talking about their arrogance in a footballing sense-not generally.

Re: Re: I love the amount of hate for United on this board
These two responses sum up my feelings entirely.
And if you want another reason, I have always been sympathetic to London clubs (apart from them Croydon wankers) over the likes of Man U simply because I am a southerner and proud of it.
Call it envy over their cheaper drinks prices but I really don't get on with the north as a whole.
And lastly, I went to a school in Surrey where the nearest team would have been Palace and whilst they had a few fans there, they were far outnumbered by the plastic Man U fans leading to a situation in which I felt more at ease amongst the genuine football loving Palace supporters, than the clueless buffons wearing Man United shirts.
I dare say we'll all feel similarly about Chelsea in a few years time but right now I cannot possibly imagine giving as much of a shit as I do about the Northern scum because essentially I've little interest in the Premiership, other than wanting to see Man U fail.

Out of a fanbase of tens/hundreds of thousands of people (and then some) that's quite representative. I believe your original quote was: Their fans have always been arrogant so and so's "Their fans", or just the ones you know?

Here is my view...
After the 5-0 debacle my boys took some stick at football training...5-0 5-0 you team is shot blah blah blah...who from two or three lads in Man U Shirts.
After the Cup Final (the one we were in) 'What a load of shit your team is....who from Man U fans from Swindon!!!
I hate Man U
Mind you I thoroughly despise Arsenal and am getting irritated with Chelsea. Wanky bully boys.
Liverpool? zzzzzzzzzzz.

i will love it it chelsea go out. I dont hate man u as much as i use to.
Hated them for lots of reasons over the years,
Because my dad supported them because he was Irish and thats what you do apparantly.
Because of 1983 and Norman Whiteside.
I then seemed to not mind them for a little while when they broke Liverpools dominance and they beat palace in the cup.
But then they just became a team of whinging, ref baiting thugs who seemed to get away with all sorts of things and use their influence because they were the biggest club in England whilst smaller clubs would often get severely punished. Games were extended by refs until they either scored a winner or at least equalised and no team ever got penaltys at Old Trafford (those last two statements may not be FACT, although it felt like it.)
On the plus side I admired the fact that they had a good sprinkling of home (and Irish just in case anyone thinks I might be suggesting they are British) produced players in their side and that their marketing machine is a model that every club should aspire to and I did want them to win the European Cup in 1999.
Bit of admiration and hate really but the hate is more for their on field conduct and attempts to influence the powers that be rather than just because lots of people support them.

Whether you tolerate them or hate them, it's still f***ing funny seeing them dumped out of Europe - no better than Celtic!
Last year, they were singing "Premiership, you're having a laugh" to Rangers fans as they thrashed them 3-0 at home in the the Champions league. And much as I hate Rangers, it is amusing to see the 5th best team in Scotland get further than "the biggest club in the world" just as the Glazers walk in looking for a fast buck. Hilarious!
Now we could do with Liverpool and Chelsea getting knocked out, especially Liverpool. If the Scousers go all the way, then the likes of Carragher and Gerrard would have played without a break from mid-July (vs TNS in the qualifiers) all the way to the arse end of May. Not good for English World Cup hopes.

So was there no arrogance when we beat palace 1-0? It's what football is all about - beating a hated rival or winning a high profile match and then be able to say "we are it".

EXACTLY the reason I hate them. For every Brighton fan at my school there were at least 10 United fans, none of whom could even fathom the very concept of supporting your local team.
I always found it was the United fans who gave me most stick about this. My best mate at school was a Liverpool fan and he totally respected the fact I supported my local team, and often came to The Goldstone with me.

Norman Whiteside in '83.
The stick I got from kids, and still get from grown people, for supporting a 'small' club, often when they, as Utd fans, have been to Old Trafford fewer times than me, if ever.
The removal of the words 'football club' from their badge. Absolutely epitomised everything that's wrong with them. I accept that football as a whole, particularly at the top level, has become over commercialised and money driven, but they were in the vanguard and, with Chelsea's current dominance, are reaping what they helped to sow.
Ferguson's insufferable attitude, made almost hilarious in its face reddening, gum chewing, arrogant solipsism, by the fact that when other managers indulge in the same psychological games he does, he can't take it.
Roy Keane.
Their belief that they're above the law. Rio Ferdinand anyone?
The chips on their shoulders. If Paul Scholes, Dennis Irwin and Dwight Yorke can just play their football and get on with it, why did Keane, Andy Cole, Schmeichel (sp?) etc become such snarling, surly fuckwits as soon as they donned Utd shirts? I know every team has players like this, but I've never seen other teams systematically intimidate referees and continually moan in the way they do.
I could go on. People say that Chelsea are no better, but all they've done is spend in a short time what Utd have spent over a longer period. I accept that, in time, many people, myself included, will feel similar emnity and boredom of their dominance, but with Utd, it's been going on for years. Chelsea have a long, long way to go before they usurp Utd as the least popular team IMHO.

Anyway, all this talk about being surrounded by ManU fans at school... its not what i experienced at all. In fact, i was probably the only person that didnt hate them (my Dad is a lifelong fan).
On the contrary, at Steyning i was completely outnumbered by Spurs fans

Question: Your team requires one goal to get through to the next round, do you
a) cheer, sing, shout as much as you can to encourage them or
b) stand still on the terraces with your "Best" shirt on, crossed armed and silent.
The fact that every time the cameras showed the Man U fans for the second half they were all doing B.
For that reason alone they deserved nothing from last night

any team manager who sells his best player because he does not like the said players wife is a prick of the highest order and the board who allowed him to do that are even bigger pricks.
ask yourself this question if this manager in question were given the carlisle utd managers job do you think he would be revered by the moronic press and hangers-on, oh no because he would not be able to waste money on some of the crappy players he has over the years,particularly in the last few.
And where would he be ,wollowing in the bottom leagues where he should be.
Any manager who has half a brain would be able to hold a place in the premier league with all that money.
time to say
