Man Utd... What is it about them that make us hate them so much ?

[6TimesaRed]

I have to admit the thought of them doing another double this year, does not bear thinking about. But if I am to be honest... Its on the cards chaps...

Watching them beat Arsenal the other day really gave me that yucky sick feel in my stomach, Ironically even worse than their comeback against Tottenham. You know that feeling you get, 'oh here we go again'

So what is it that makes us feel so bitter towards them ? Good old fashioned Rivalry ? Their success ?

My thoughts is in hindsight, it would of been good if the swine flu epidemic started around Late December and the World Club Chamionships was played in Mexico!!! lol

 

[Jack D Rips]

I hated them in the 70s and 80s as well. Even when they were in division 2. Even in those days they were cocky bastards. So jealousy has nothing to do with my hatred of them. I really enjoyed the 27 years when they won fuck all.
Hate their manager (with a passion), players, and smug fans who think football started in 1994.

 

[Whaddapie]

For me, it's a many sided (sports) hatred.

The main parts of that are:

The way the media go on about them as if they invented the game - Football existed before David Beckham and the Premier League came along, y'know.

The way that FAR stronger teams than this one will be considered weaker than them, if they do win the EC again this season - Our late '80s team would wipe the floor with these cnuts. As would their own early 90s side.

Their "fans". People who have never heard of Dennis Law or George Best or Bryan Robson. Not only is Ronaldo not the the greatest player ever, you twats, he's not you're greatest player ever. In fact, he's not even your greatest no. 7 ever. F#$! off.

The way they've gotten a free ride on their tactics of bullying referees and officials into simply giving them decisions on auto-pilot at this stage - They get away with stuff that others get fined for. There are two sets of rules in football... One for them, one for the rest of us.

And most importantly, they're simply the most horrible, miserable, ugly bunch of cnuts the world has ever known. Ever. And always have been. See Gordon McQueen and Graeme Hogg.

Well, the media has romanticised them since the Munich tragedy, and that's understandable if a little a bit irksome. For me, I never really HATED them until Ginsoak took over, and then he positively thrived on trying to get that hate going. I've been told by elderly relations that the unpleasantness was always there, but I still think that it was different when Busby was in charge, because - as many forget - Busby was not only a great friend of Shankly, and a real gent, but also an ex-Liverpool captain (an anorak writes: that's why John Lennon, as a Liverpool fan, mentioned Busby in the song 'Dig It' on the 'Let it Be' album), and he was always warm and respectful about the place. Later on, Tommy Docherty was similarly too friendly with Shanks to be disrespectful. So the real 'in your face' hatred was only deliberately cranked up by ginsoak, which is one of the many reasons why I hate the man. Can you imagine Paisley feeling the need to do something like that to get a win? He's a contemptible human being. No wonder Alistair Campbell adores him!

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I hate them because they inflicted my first footballing pain on me, beating us in the '77 FA Cup Final.
I hate them because the media used to lick their arses even when we were top dogs and they'd done fuck all for decades.
I hate them because when I was 14, one of their fans, a 30+ year old, thought it would be a good idea to give me an unprovoked hiding.
I hate them because they think they set the rules.
I hate them because of the whining hypocrite twat of a manager.
I hate them because of that cunt Neville and Ronaldo and Rooney and Ferdinand.
I hate them because I enjoy it.

 

[Vlads Quiff]

I hate them because I hate Manchester.
I hate Manchester because firstly they are our geographical rivals, and secondly they have always hated us because we have what they have not...........a proper port. They relied on us for their exports and imports during the industrial revolution and it always stuck in their fucking throats, sadly now a Manc owns the docks.

This local hatred was magnified when they stole our crown.

Their manager is a cunt
Their fans are cunts

Short and sweet there, from someone whose username is the German word for "hate" as it happens. 8)

 

[Portly]

Strangely, all the biggest cnuts in the world of soccer tend to gravitate to United. OK there are one or two players who it is difficult to dislike, for example I have no objection to Ryan Giggs, but the majority of them are total arseholes.

Knackers, in fact. But not good-looking ones. 🙂

 

[The_Prof]

Because they are hypocritical, arrogant, stupid, ignorant, unclassy twats

 

[Modo]

I hate them because you all hate them.

 

[Jack D Rips]

I think clasless is a good word. How did ferguscon ever get a knigthood for services to football.? Was your queen on drugs?

 

[Rosco]

As much as I want to I can't hate them.

I've got an elderly uncle who missed out on a flight to Munich in '58 because he tore is cruciate ligament three weeks beforehand. He never played football again. About 40 years afterward United paid for him to have the operation done.

The thing that impresses me was, despite him being an original Busby babe, he didn't have the sort of career that would make the club think that he was someone they should always look out for. He was only becoming a first team regular when his career ended yet United have treated him as though he was somebody that had been integral to their past. He has pretty much got the freedom of the stadium too, in '99 while I was in Manchester he brought me on a tour of the place and out onto the pitch (the week they played Juve).

As much as I'd love to hate them, I simply can't because of how well they've treated one of my family members. And when I look at Ray Kennedy's situation it makes me appreciate them more.

And your point is?

 

[LarryHagman]

Its because they're from Manchester.

 

[seattlejason]

Because of everything said thus far.

Because it's the right thing to do.

Because, in the States, they are the Yankees, or the Lakers (or Bulls when Jordan was around), and everybody loves Man U, and you see some guy you've known for awhile wearing a fucking Manc jersey and you're like "Hey, I didn't know you liked football." And he says "Yeah, I'm a huge Cowboys fan". And you say, "No dumbfuck, I meant because of that shithole jersey you're wearing, I thought you liked football, soccer, y'know." And he says "Oh, soccer, yeah, I love the Manchester United Reds". And you say "They're not the Reds, you fucking idiot" and you give him a proper hiding...because it was provoked.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

They are arrogant cunts who actually know nothing about football other than they are always right.

The majority at work didn't know who macheda was two months ago now he is the greatest thing ever.

The majority at work don't know what colour they wore in the 68 final.


I like to ask them to define a "scouse bastard" whenever they use it.

Is it a scouser like Wayne Rooney?

Is it a Liverpool player like Matt Busby?

Is it a Liverpool fan like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?


They usually get pissed off and call me a scouse bastard and walk off.


Reminding them they're not from Manchester usually gets an entertaining reaction too.


Anyway, they're cunts.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Oh, and the ban held them back in Europe too. Obviously you wouldn't expect them to know anything pre 1992, though they don't seem to realise to qualify for the European Cup they needed to win the league. Even when this is pointed out and that we may well be on 7 or 8 European Cups now, apparently it still hurt them more.

[/quote]Hahaha. I cant really explain my feelings, and i hate myself for letting them get to me. But basically they make me feel physically ill.
I grew up in Manchester and Belfast and as such was surrounded by Mancs and fought all time with them.
I remember once when i was about 10 and my ma was doing a disco at a youth club, and all the lads were mancs, one of them asked me who i'd support if i didnt support Liverpool and i said Everton, and my Ma said 'he means Manchester United' and took me away. She said it didnt make sense that id support Everton, and life would be easier for me if i told people United. I told her never to say that again. Later that night i was in the car park and these three lads said i was lucky i supported United or they'd kick the shit outta me. I said i dont support them not even a little bit, and the three of them started on me, they started shoving me and said if i didnt say United were better they would batter me, i knew at that minute how much it meant to me and how much i hated them and their shitty fans.
It didnt come to anything like i got out of it somehow but it it was a bit of an epiphany for me, as before that i'd not even really thought about them, id liked Whiteside and Moran, even Robson, Olsen, McGrath etc i was too young to understand the Rivalry and just loved football so although i didnt support them i didnt hate them.
From that day on i did, and still do. I dont know why really, but hating them makes me feel good.

 

[spider-Neil]

I hated manu before I knew liverpool fans generally hated manu, when I found out there was a big rivalry I was like, 'that's handy'.

 

[QUADRASPAZ]

I hate them. No real reason like, they just wreck hed. An them fucking hair cuts, fucking gay haircuts, fucking shave all me head but leave a litle shitty fringe. Little gay alton towers bellends.

Yes, not just in football either. Consider, for example...

good thread this turning out to be... We should keep this going till the end of the season

The fact that they'll squeeky bum out a win against a team that managed to get 3 points against us and go on to win the league.

I think.
