This thread has turned amusing, Man U fans getting angry about people being angry abot hating 'em.
Actually don't have much problem with foreigners liking the big 4. Don't really expect them to do anything else. It's the people from England who show no interest whatsoever in their local teams that gets me down. The bores in the pub that tell me when I walk in with my City shirt on "you don't want to support them, support a good team like United" when they've never been to Old Trafford in their life. Has I've said before my best mate is a United fan, but he used to come to watch Exeter, and has been at Wembley both times. It was a good year for him last year. His dad comes from Salford.
I also despise Ferguson, I believe his intimidation of refs has gone too far. Some will say "they all do that", but IMHO Fergie has made them all do it to counter him. It never used to be this bad before Fergies dominance. Interesting that the bad decision against them came after a Moyes fergie-style rant against Riley.
What's frustrating is I believe United are a great team to watch, and would win things anyway without the veiled threats.
Rippers comments are utterly insulting, BTW. Passion and shouting from the terraces does not always lead to violence.
In fact a lot of the Hoolies tend to just be there for the fights and aren't that bothered about the team. Real fans realise that it is utterly detrimental to their team to get involved in trouble.
