[Bobby Sands]

Tony Pulis's game plan for today:

^^^Awesome

"Wear cap" lolll

 

[Kobe]

Damn, United got b!@#h slapped.

 

[Pittsey]

I think United's pride is going to be seriously hurt.... 6-1...! and at Old Trafford...!! To their "noisy neighbours"...

But looking at it from a neutral perspective. It was 1-0 before Evans got sent off. And 3 of the goals were scored in the last minute. Maybe Man Utd will pay for Sneijder and a Midfield enforcer, now.

From a Liverpool forum...

Monday morning... Mrs Ferguson:
Wake up Alex, it's 7 already!!
Alex: "What? Hey? How? Fucking hell have they scored another one???"

What's the difference between a taxi and Man United? A taxi won't let 6 in!

Last week Evra accused Suarez of Racism. This week the whole United team have accused City of rape

 

[Flipmo]

Everyone is being accused of racism these last few week. Just yesterday Kanoute accused Fabregas of racism (which is why he bitch-slapped him yesterday)... Dunno what to think of that, Kanoute isn't known for lashing out like that, he's always been the calm negotiative type.

Spanish people tend to be quite racist. A racist generalisation from me, maybe?

 

[hizzle?]

Kanoute denied that there was any racist comments on his twitter account though.

 

[Flipmo]

I dunno if it was true or not. Either way, the bitch-slap was there. Was just saying that racism alligations have been out in full-force. Isn't Terry accused of doing the same to Anton Ferdinand this weekend? ... Actually, coming from Terry it wouldn't be a shock...

That being said, back to Man U...

Never mind the team – it’s Manchester United’s fans who were embarrassing on Sunday

Anyone who was at Old Trafford on Sunday to see Manchester City annihilate their neighbours or who watched the highlights on MOTD2 would have seen the same thing. United fans streaming out of a ground a full 20 minutes before the end. Yes, their outplayed team were 3-0 down but so what? By the time the sixth goal had been hammered in by Edin Dzeko, most of the stadium was about a quarter full. That’s just plain embarrassing.

Being a supporter, as most other fans know, is about being there for your team through thick and thin. Or as until recently, in City’s fans’ case, being there through thin and thin.
City, let’s not forget, regularly had crowds of 30,000 plus in the third tier of the football league just over a decade ago and, more recently, were still drawing crowds of around 46,000 despite not having won a trophy since the Boer War (or so it seemed).

United’s fans, of course have previous. In the 1999 Champions League Final when their team somehow fluked a late 2-1 win over a far superior Bayern Munich, many United fans had already left in the ground. Most of them had scuttled off, seemingly certain that their team had lost. Imagine. Your team is just one goal behind in Europe’s premier club competition and you can’t even be bothered to see it through.

The same thing happened against Barcelona in the same competition’s final last season. Most had legged it long before the final whistle, leaving Barca with only a semi lap of honour to perform.

Why does this happen? Are United fans spoiled by success? Is it the sheer number of gloryhunters they’ve attracted over the years who just will not countenance failure? What will happen if the team does go into a tailspin? Will the fair weather United fans still turn up in such numbers (even if they only hang around for 70 minutes)?

And then there were the death threats aimed at City’s goalkeeper Joe Hart in the second half of Sunday’s derby, a sinister reminder of the black-clad thugs who threatened Wayne Rooney when he was considering jumping ship last winter. Manchester United fans - The UK's most embarrassing? I think we all know the answer to that.

Because it's a long drive home from Manchester to London...!

Although this piece was obviously written by a City fan. No way do Man U have the worst fans, and on a "thug" list... They are a long way from The Top. They'd shit a brick at Millwall, or over at West Ham.

lol @ shit a brick at Millwall. Who wouldn't? Except Millwall and WH , I don't really see any other big "thug" groups in England... Maybe when Newcastle fans get drunk.

Anyway, worst fans in UK are Arsenal's fans.

 

[Flipmo]

That goes to Fulham supporters, imo. Do they even attend away games?

 

[Flipmo]

lol @ the Christmas party.
