I don't like them... I just can't see where all this hating comes from... Besides, the Liverpool fanboys hate them so... that makes them my allies... |

Liverpool fanboys hate inter too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) But I see where you're coming from. I only dislike them (hate is too strong a word for someone like me) for their arrogance, their we-always-win-because-we-always-deserve-it mentality. Having said that, my respect for them went up a notch after the last two matches Milan played against them last year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Not by much, but still. They're a very decent footballing side though, gotta give them that. And not to forget they won the last CL final too. |

QUOTE (Tennie @ Aug 17 2008, 06:59 PM) So, I'm really happy I have Agbonlahor on my fantasy team, yepyep. Congrats to the very happy (and tipsy?) Kurt on Villa's big win over City! Congrats also to Jack, whose Newcastle drew away with Glory Hunters FC. It was fantastic, unfortunately I couldn't drink. I had a match to play afterwards. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) A very pleasing result and performance. I would complain about the 2 we let in, but one was a really bad dive for a penalty and the other was just a lapse in concentration in the defense late on. I don't find it acceptable, but we have 2 new defenders and a new GK, they'll take time to get used to each other. I hope Mr. Capello feels silly now. After finishing the English player with the most assists last season, Ashley Young has jumped to the top of the assist table again, but no call up? And Gabby has 4 goals in 4 days.. but no call up! Man City do play some great football, particularly Elano and Petrov, but big props to Reo-Coker, he seems to be getting better every game, great work rate and engine, he just never stops running and his break up play is incredible. All in all I'm very happy.. but it;s 1 game into the new season, can't be getting carried away. QUOTE (dst @ Aug 17 2008, 07:30 PM) Like? I don't like them... I just can't see where all this hating comes from... Besides, the Liverpool fanboys hate them so... that makes them my allies... Since the EPL started, they've had ridiculous amounts of silly calls go for them, some really outrageous ones. Even if the early years of the EPL. They needed to beat Sheff Wednesday to win the league, the were 1-0 down at OT in stoppage time - 3 minutes were added on - their goals came in the 95th and 96th minutes. There's been a long history of it. THey were also the original Chelsea. When £1m transfers were considered massively expensive, they were spending that on pretty much every player they bought, while other teams were having to try and find free agents to fit their team. THey basically bought everything they won. Then you have their fans. I have no problem with people supporting the top teams who aren't local to them to an extent, but it's the constant bragging and the lack of knowledge towards the team that makes it annoying. Some United fans still think the likes of Cantona and Schmeichel play for them, that's how ridiculous it can get, honestly! |

They cry out every time someone mentions the Busby plane crash, but they think it's perfectly fine to sing stuff like "Hillsbourgh was not enough" and decorate Old Trafford with banners insulting other clubs and players. 2. Alex Ferguson. 3. Even their own captain said the fans were more concerned about their shrimp sandwiches than the match being played. 4. They're utter, absolute and complete pr*cks. 5. Alex Ferguson. |

I think there is a difference between banter and singing about people dying though and they have every right to be upset about that in my eyes. #3 Agreed about the fans they are quiet as hell but that shouldn't really diminish them should it? I mean at least these fans have been to Old Trafford not like the 98% of Manchester United fans around the globe. I'm no fan of them but I agree with dst this whole hatred of them seems to be a bit silly. But then again you don't hate clubs unless there good so I guess there's that. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) On his worst days Wegner can be quite sour, you of all people should know this Locke. I still recall his comments about Milan. Admittedly he was bitter and sour over the transfer of Flamini, but still, he should have done better than that. |
