Why do we have such a blinkered, bigoted and focused loathing of Man Utd?
I shouldn't have to explain this to a Leeds fan, but here goes: -A club supported by 95% glory hunting plastics -Alex Ferguson. -Gary Neville. -30 years without a title, now think they have a god given right to them. -Journo's and plastics calling them 'United' when they are just one of many... -War of the Roses -The Glaziers -Rio -Cantona -Withdrawing from the FA Cup -Thier 'fans' -The fact you can't walk down a street without one of their rancid tops spoiling the view -The fact 99% of those 'fans' never go to see their 'team' play in the flesh -Their general lack of humility, grace, or class -Pulling England players out of the team whenever they get have a chance -Embracing 'Winker' back at the club after he got England knocked out of the Euros -Spending 30 million at every transfer window, but still crow about ONE youth team they had almost 20 years ago, as if they are a conveyor belt of young talent. Thats for starters... anyone else care to add to that? > Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:44:30 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LU] Am I the only one? > > You're all glossing over the point.
