Manchester United v Crawley - who do you want to win?
- Thread starter philsussex
- Start date
Its a tough call.
Ideally I'd like to see Crawley smashed, but don't much lke United either.
I refuse to answer until AFTER our game finishes.
If we are out, then let United destroy them.
If we are still in, then let Crawley sneak through, to improve our odds of a winnable tie in the QF.

Why WOULD u want them to win ??
1. FDM plays for them.
2. They're not MUFC.
3. I would love it ((c) Kevin Keegan) to be able to give grief to all the plastics who support United.
4. Sussex v Lancashire, nuff said.
Crawley because it would be one of the most incredible results of all time and hence very interesting and exciting. Not gonna happen though.
Might be worth sticking a few quid on the draw though. I seem to remember United drawing at home with some non-league side a few years back, can't remember who though, Exeter maybe??

I would of said "What a stupid question" but it seems that some people actually want Manure to win. It has to be Crawley every time.
Sussex minnows against the scummiest club in football, surely it's a no brainer.

Sussex minnows? F*ck off. Scummiest club in non-league football. Come on United!
Eh? What bit of "Sussex minnows" is incorrect then?

Am I missing something here?
Crawley obviously. Surely you support the underdog. It will be brilliant for football if that happened, and it's not as if this actually effects Brighton. Surely promotion is your key goal for this year.

Man U of course, I couldn't STAND it if Scumley/Chavley (I'm not sure what term to use) had the honour of beating them in the Cup when we couldn't. Also I don't want to see our local rivals win.
And I appreciate that calling Scumley/Chavley 'local rivals' is a bit like England giving a toss about Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales when they're such a Noddy little outfit, but the only comfort I can draw from their rise towards League status is the fact that FINALLY we'll have proper local rivals and we won't have to try and keep this ridiculous Palace rivalry alive. And let's face it us and Palace have been 'non-rivals' for a far longer time than the few years we spent at each others' throats.

Brighton till i die
You havin' a bubble?
ANY other non-league or underdog yes, near enough ANy other team against Man Utd, but NOT f***ing crawley - hate 'em - they will be our newest, biggest rival in the not too distant future and for some reason people are creaming themselves over this little shit hole club?? i dont geddit.
Don't get me wrong, I strongly dislike Crawley and do want United to stuff them. However, Crawley will never be our main rivals. Even if they get in to the League they will not last, they just do not have the support. I can't see them keeping pace with us as we improve, can you ever see Crawley any higher than League 1? I would say it is extremely unlikely they will ever get there. With Falmer and the way the club is under Tony Bloom it is unlikely we will fall below League 1 level for the foreseeable future. So when will this rivalry become reality? One game between the two sides ever = no rivalry. They can hate us as much as they like but they will always be insignificant to the Albion.

Crawley of course firstly because of FDM's playing for them secondly because they are from Sussex and finally because i like to see how red Fergies face goes.
Ps just hope a strong ref is in charge or he could spoil Crawleys occasion.

not really sure and i think it will stay that way untilt they kick off. It's only usually during games like this that i begin to realise who i actually want to win.

I could never actively want Manchester United to win, in an ideal world Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd would get knocked out thus creating a interesting FA cup. I hope Crawley do well just for the fact that FDM plays for them.
