Too be honest Stroooody, Im thinking the same thing. I think I hate Man Yoo the least out of the top four certainly. Still think Neville is a cunt though. Adn I can say something bad about Scholes.... he cant tackle! There!  But yeah, they certainly arent the team I despised a few years ago. |

I think whilst most people arent fond of Manchester United, we've all grown to respect them!

Man Utd are a victim of their own success.
They have always been a well supported club but since they started to win everything, their fans have had to put up with being called plastic.
If a vastly rich Arab declared he loved the town of Swindon and was going to make STFC a Premiership giant, soon me, you and every Swindon fan would become a plastic.

The contrast in ex-United Chief Exec Peter Kenyon and Bobby Charlton leading the sides up pretty much epitomises a lot of that for me.
What also stood out was for all of Chelsea’s millions there’s no legacy or foundation being built there. Take away Roman and his bag of swag and after a few years the club would quickly retort to the Chelsea of the 90’s.
For all of their faults United and Ferguson have built a dynasty on consistency and an ethos that brings the right players in and embeds them in the club’s culture and history and with the addition of Carlos Queiroz they appear to be the one club that gets it right when combining foreign talent with a British core.
I feel dirty after writing that. :evil: I’m off for a golden shower.

I used to hate United. But now Ive got more respect for them than any other top flight club.
With Fergie around United havent changed much in 10 years, whereas everything around them has got more and more abhorrant. Thats the reason for me. Because of the influx of foreign coaches in the top flight, they are our only quality exporters of a British style game.

I still hate them and their legion of sad plastic fans. What really pisses me off is how Louis Edwards managed to get off a FA inquiry into illegal payments because he was ill...when he passed the club to his rugger bugger son Martin. The enquiry was promptly dropped, Martin who wasn't too interested in his legacy, probably why he stuck with Ferguson, tried to flog the club to Knighton for about 10mill....Knighton came up a bit short on teh fundage.
Edwards stayed, and the onset of Prem, produced a cash cow, he had nothing to do with....so he sold up for tens if not hundreds of mills.
Of course the Glazers, having no particular interest in football, could see a way of harvesting this cash cow for themselves.....when Ferguson goes they're going to be seriously fucked...its going to be funny as....well teh mid 70's after Busby went.

United have lots of English players too. Neville, Hargreaves, Ferdinand, Brown, Rooney, Scholes.
Giggs and Fletcher are British players.
At least they don't have a mass foriegn army like other teams.

So what...ManUre despite having the pick of the best young talent in England haven''t produced an England player for years....if they did, then it might encourage the lower league neutral to view them more favourably. All they do is buy the best products of other club's systems, like Chelsea. |

What's with the Manchester United sex festival people! Its just so easy all you need to do is say " yeah i support United" and that's it. Go in a pub..."yeah I support United" go in a workplace "yeah I support United" When they win something, then you hope a little stardust rubs off on you. No need to have any knowledge of Ralph Milne, John Fitzpatrick, Frank Koppel, Carlo Sartori, not even Massimo Taibi....did Ronny Jonsen and Jesper Blomquist really play in 99. Arthur Graham eat your heart out. |

 I work in HMV Durham and two later-teens/early 20's came in with their brand new United shirts on today - almost as they were doing there very own victory parade through the city. I can honestly say they were the first United shirts I've seen in the store in the six months I've been there - and alot of football shirts come into our store. |
