Let’s get one thing straight right away. I am not a Manchester United fan. Many people have accused me of being so when I write praise about their side, but I am not, definitely not, a fan. OK?

Recently I wrote an article in which I selected my Premier League team of the year. In the team I put in a few United players. That caused outrage amongst the various people who commented on the article. ‘Typical Manchester United fan’ they said. Well I hope I’ve answered that one. ‘Typical idiot who only sees the top four clubs,‘ said another. Well, if you’re picking the team of the year aren’t a majority of them likely to come from the four most successful teams?

Actually, as a NEUTRAL I have spotted that Manchester United have more points than anyone else, have scored more goals than anyone else and have conceded less goals than anyone else. I would say that there is an arguable case for United to supply all eleven players for the team!

I didn’t do that though, I looked at the situation without bias and with total objectivity. That, of course, is where I went badly wrong. You cannot be objective about football at all, and don’t ever try to be objective about Manchester United.

So why do Manchester United cause so much discussion? Why are they so loved by millions of people all around the world and so hated by many more? There is a great old joke that says that the only three teams in England with a swear word in their name are ARSEnal, S****horpe and F****ng Manchester United.

Clearly I understand why Liverpool fans and Everton fans and Manchester City fans might hate them. It is only right that you hate your local neighbours. I have an irrational hatred of Luton simply because it is located twenty miles up the M1 from my beloved Watford.

I suppose I can understand why Chelsea and Arsenal fans might hate them because they are in direct competition with them to win the only two major competitions.

Apart from that though, why do the club provoke such extreme emotions in people?

Many people hate their fans. They are portrayed as arrogant and conceited. With due respect to everyone, it is difficult for me to be arrogant and conceited as a Watford fan, but if we became the most successful club in England I might not be able to avoid it. Are Liverpool fans not just a wee bit arrogant and conceited about their historical dominance of England and historical and recent successes in Europe?

Many people hate Sir Alex Ferguson. I’m the first to admit that he doesn’t always come over as being a likeable, jolly fellow. I get as upset with his constant harassing of referees, looking at his watch and gruff manner as anyone else.

Despite having no particular liking for the public character of Sir Alex, I have absolute respect and admiration for him. I don’t really see how it is possible not to, however grudgingly. The thirty-seven trophies he has won over the past thirty years, together with the twenty-one manager of the month awards, seven manager of the year awards and three World Soccer manager of the year awards, tend to make it hard to dismiss his ability.

So is it the players? Well, most people seem to have total admiration for Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. They have had fabulous careers and even the most fervent hater of Manchester United must recognise the contribution they have made to the game.

What players cause the controversy? Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rio Ferdinand seem to be the most despised and of course, by many, the most loved. As an England fan I believe that Rio is one of the best defenders in the world and Wayne Rooney is one of only very few players we have that can win a match with a piece of brilliance. As a football fan, forget the whinging and the diving, watching Ronaldo this season has been a joy.

A look at the club’s history produces past greats like Dennis Law, Bobby Charlton and George Best. It shows them to be the first English team to win the European Cup, and for an England fan, again, on the day we won the world cup there was Nobby Stiles and Bobby Charlton from United right there in the hub of the team.

There was the Munich tragedy of 1958 which was a terrible tragedy to anyone who is not emotionally challenged. They could easily have won that European Cup years before they eventually did.

I’m still no closer to establishing the reasons for this irrational hatred of Manchester United found all over the country. One of the main things that is constantly brought up is that United fans don’t come from Manchester and that all people from that area support City. Of course, that is a myth. They do have many thousands of fans from outside Manchester but a majority of their match attending supporters come from the Manchester area. Everton fans accuse Liverpool of not having any fans from the City. Of course, this is another myth.

I went to school in Watford back in the sixties and seventies. A lot of my mates and I supported Watford but there were many others who supported Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and United. If young people don’t support their local team they are quite likely to pick a team that is successful. Like it or not, over recent years that is quite likely to be United.

People say that most United supporters have never been to a game. Probably true, they have millions of fans worldwide and the ground only holds 77,000 or so. That doesn’t mean that there is very often a spare seat at Old Trafford though!

I’m a Watford fan. I am not a United fan, I have no feelings for them either way. It is just that as a football fan I enjoy watching their team play and admire their record. Why do so many people have such a problem with them? It isn’t jealousy is it?

I think you have covered the key points in your article. Manchester United fans are arrogant. They tend to be weak willed as they have latched onto something “big” and feel secure in the majority and being able to say “my team won again”. They don’t as a rule go to the matches. Due to media hype they are well informed on obscure facts that supporters of other teams would not know about their own team. They do not generally originate from Manchester. They have no birth right to support Man Utd and so “local” teams are snubbed and lose out financially. The players generally have a bad, unsporting attitude. I could go on….
ron on May 11th, 2008 15:54

The problem with Manchester United is that they are favoured by referees and the FA. There is no question that they are a good team but there are too many times in big games where they get the benefit of a poor decision that completely changes a game. How many of Ronaldo’s goals this season have been from open play?? How many have been penalties or free kicks?? Take a look you might be surprised.
PeeJay on June 29th, 2008 10:03

Even as a United fan I realize that there are some Man Utd supporters that give all of us a bad name. I, personally, always try to look at football objectively and just the other day I was arguing with my Utd supporting friend who claimed that Anderson is better than Fabregas and Brown is better than Sagna. I, of course, argued against both and was swiftly accused of being a “Gooner”.

It is true that a lot of United fans are irrationally arrogant and incredibly ignorant and I think that it’s mostly the fans that spawn this hatred of United.

Adeola - who or what is fedi???
amina on September 1st, 2008 23:19

i acually dont agree that people hate manutd rather approve them as ‘BEST’ football club unlike chelsea and realmadrid. I honestly think that most of the so called ’small teams’ would support Manutd over the other big 3… yep thats true…we are like the miami heat of 2006, loved by non big four fans
we also have players that you will find an arsenal or liverpool fan calling a hero
e.g scholsey, giggs, keane, and so on….
sparky on September 5th, 2008 10:26

I have 2 teams……………. Liverpool and whoever happens to be playing against Manchester United. Where do I start……..

1/ Manu seem to have have very selective memories. All too willing to criticise Liverpool over the years, without ackowledging their own indiscretions.

2/ They are the most self indulgent team….. lets roll out the red carpet and stroke each others egos…….. always have been, even when they were resigned to the wilderness of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

3/ The Theatre of Dreams? …… Please what a repulsive name …….. more red carpet.

4/ The pub outside Old Trafford where they have segregated the local Manu fans from the non-local Man U fans …….. and yes the locals sing songs of criticism about the non- locals ………..and pay them out for not being ”local Manure”……….. Just a tad arrogant, (and maybe a little bit of an inferiority complex)

I could go on …………….. but I have better things to do.
ViVa RoNaLdO on September 6th, 2008 23:51

Im am 16 and i have been going up to old trafford for 13 years now and also to away games north and south and even abroad. I am born and raised in London but with a dad from Ireland any irish person will know that in Ireland if you support a english team its generally man utd or liverpool. With a long line of united supporters in his family he carried on the tradition and now me and my brother both support utd. No one can call me a glory hunter i was taught to support utd before i could walk, the journey to old trafford on a good day will take three and a half hours there and another three and a half back by car.
There is only one reason why so many fans hate man utd because of success, i couldnt give a shit about chelsea untill the mourinho era when they were making man utd look like amateurs winning two prems n beating utd home and away, then i nearly hated chelsea as much as i hated the scausas n city. Think about it does any one hate the wigans or the boltons other than there rivals no becasue they havent dominated the prem like man utd have.
ViVa RoNaLdO on September 7th, 2008 0:01

Even as a cockney red i get annoyed when i see other londoners sitting next to me not singing or getting involved at all. Or like a londoner who sits behind me he talks like he has just come out of west ham that annoys me aswel and im not even a manc. And RON how bout this for your facts ronaldo scored 31 goals from open play 6 penalties n 5 amazing free kicks wow thats realy suprising! ( ha, not)
irvine on September 9th, 2008 10:43

i as a manchester united fan don’t wonder why we hve so many enemies and adversaries.The reason is simple ,we are the only team in the world that can win major trophies in england and outside with relatively low profiled players as compared to chelsea and “loserpool”.Its all about hardworking and teamwork at utd ,scholes and rooney are bornfighter no wonder why they get booked most of the times for tough challenges,our defence is solid ,our mid is out of this world and we now have the most dangerous strike force in the world with the arrival of dimitar,In fergason we have the best manager in the world.They shall hate us even more but can do little to stop us .Long live united!!!!!!!!!!
lebushare on September 10th, 2008 21:17

well you guys talk bout loco and non loco manu fans. then what you have to say bout we all THE way in 9JA(NIGERIA). I AM a passionate manu fan and the hatred by cHELLsea,the GoNNers and LOSERpool fans is worse here. dudes get into serious fights cus of manu. but still we waxing strong in fan base.the truth is when you are as succesful as manu is, you definitely would have enemies. so let them keep the hate and while our trophies pile up. LOSERS

The source of hate is the arrogant fans, not the trophies. For examples see above
OBrien on September 11th, 2008 20:45

The source of hate is the arrogant fans, not the trophies……not even their over rated players who like to smoke dick after hours
watkins on September 13th, 2008 16:55

Hmmm… Besides the trophies which manu’ve been collecting, the quality of the players is based on the budget of the club… well, i could out in this way, many clubs are jealous of the big four’s resources… budgets for wages, transfers, and all of those things… i mean, come on, what so great by piling up trophies but cannot defend their own consistency (2-1 loss against Liverpool) and that’s really annoying to see… manu is just lucky, so does the rest of the big four… look at city now… city is beginning to follow chelsea’s path… another source of hate starting to rise…
Mrs C Ronaldo on September 15th, 2008 9:41

Hey!i dont care wot oda ppl have 2 sy bout man u!i love my team.ppl are jus h8n coz dey knw wot man u r capable of doin..we r da best,we play da best.So F#*k all u Man United Haters!!!!!Man United $ LIfe……!!I LOVE YOU RONALDO!!!MWAH!!!
maroses55 on September 16th, 2008 17:03

Nice article. SPLENDID!!! I had to read this article ten good times before making any comment.
Believe me, it’s not easy being the “best”, neither is it easy maintaining the
“best”. I think it’s mere admiration for the club (because we have an undoubtedly strong team) and a little bit of jealousy. I would agree that Man Utd fans can be way too annoying and boastful but we have cause to be (but not to this extent). That’s just our way of expressing emotional attachment to the club.
That doesn’t give us the right to call others “losers”. I don’t think they are losers, if they were, we wouldn’t have to train hard and lose matches. I do agree Liverpool fairly won the match on Saturday but this is a warning to all Man united haters,”WATCH OUT FOR US, THE SEASON IS STILL YOUNG”. We are just letting the land guards safe guard our property, we”the land owners” would come for it when the time is right.
maroses55 on September 16th, 2008 17:12

I am very sure Mrs C Ronaldo is a United fun just because of one player. That;s good but one doesn’t make a team.
Wake up Miss C Ronaldo and enjoy the diversity and beauty of United football.
ekombo on September 19th, 2008 20:56

Man U was the first club i knew in europe . Man U is the most popular club among kids below 13 in Cameroon, where i live. no doubt most kids in cameroon grow up in the man U football culture:
- win and only win
-every minute is important, even the 90th. we rem the 1999 champions league final
-get the best players to win
if you hate man u because of fans’ attitude, they are not real man u fans.
man u fans respect their opponents and the game.
if u hate the club because of sir Alex or a players’s attitude, sorry uyou are making a mistake.
” hate the person and not the club ”

Man.utd used to be a great club but i dont know what is happening
Jaymie Speer on September 25th, 2008 21:50

MANCHESTER UTD are the best in the whole world! Asenal, Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea fans know it but they just don’t want to admit it.
Man Utd are a huge challenge to other teams and they always have been and always will be.
Man City, Asenal Liverpool etc… hate Man Utd only simply because they are better than the other teams will ever be!
And one thing for Man Chester City- ‘Money doesn’t buy you success’!
Thanks to Ryan Giggs, Paul Schols, Christiano Ronaldo etc… we have a wonderful team that can strike Chelsea, Liverpool Man City, Asenal… right down to the bottom of the table.
ManChester Utd are also the most popular club in the world, and shame on ManChester City they were recently under investigation for paying some of their players a salary over the amount allowed by FA regulations. They were fined 250 pounds and eighteen of their palyers were banned from playing in the team ever again.
so there ManChester Utd are offically tthe best and always will be!
Devin Rodgers on October 1st, 2008 6:24

The Major reason Man U is popular in the States, yes I’m a yank from California, is purely because of David Beckham. Many have never watched a full 90 minutes but have seen and been easily sucked into the culture from mass media.

Personally, I’m a Tottenham supporter so I should hate Arsenal because of the rivalry but I don’t. I don’t believe hatred should be caused by superficial reasons.

For this I am more indifferant to Man U. They are entertaining in matches, such as today vs. the Danish club. I cheered for them against Chelsea.

I dont know, its just hard for me to whole heartedly hate one team. It must be because I wasn’t raised in europe becuase I hold great hatreds in american sports. Except american football, dont even watch it. Such a bore

Though im a l’pool fan, i do admire giggs, scholes n park ji 4 their tenacity, i do hate man u cuz of their fans. They boast of success over other clubs well lemme tell u, they are like a boyband with millions of records sales 2 boast about, max profit, max popularity, if u were gonna place a bet on what wud sell more, them or some underground progressive deathmetal music (which is much more sophisticated in terms of technicalty but not quite ppl frenly) wat wud u go for? Most man u fans dnt evn knw d game
ManUtd Fan...jay!!!! on October 4th, 2008 21:02

I know that Man Utd got off to a bad start but they have really focused and climbed the table…

So many people dislike Man Utd that it’s so easy to see why, now that they are making there way to the top supporters of others teams and haters of man utd are frightened that Man Utd are going to do what they have always done and that’s BE THE BEST!

If you don’t like Man Utd you must have one heck of a good reason, or maybe you are just simply thick in the head!
Zee on October 9th, 2008 0:31

Its because people are stupid. Manchester United is the most successful, greatest, richest and most popular club on the planet. It has more then 330 Million fans around the world, that’s almost 5% of the worlds population loving Manchester United. There the most Richest and Valuable team of any sport in the entire planet worth $1.8 Billion Dollars. So all of you Manchester United haters can deal with the facts and feel the power of the Red Devils. MANCHESTER UNITED GLORY GLORY GLORY!!!!

kurstin on October 11th, 2008 15:32

Well i love man utd because they play the best football and we have in fergie the best coach in the world. he developed players from their very young age(nevilles, scholes, giggs,ronaldo,fletcher,oshea, the new brazilians twins coming thru and lots more to come) unlike real madrid and chelsea (manchester city will surely emulate chelsea and madrid when making recruitments) who try to snatch the players when they are at their peak splashing big money. hats off fergie and also to arsene wenger who developed young talents. Everyone should agree to me if big clubs don’t try to snatch such young players from man utd and arsenal, these two teams should be dominating english and european football for years to come. i think ronaldo made the best decision when he stayed for man utd. history have shown players goin to real madrid or other clubs do not enjoy a long duration of success. we no longer hear names of beckham, henry, owen, vieira, shevchenko, ballack,….but instead we hear names who are rooted to their clubs like gerrard, giggs, scholes, messi,..
Coming to the issue of hatred, i fink people hate us because they don’t have what we have
-the best coach in the world
- the largest number of fans in england or across the globe
- the best player in the world (Cristiano Ronaldo)
- the best stadium in england
- the most loyal players ( Giggs, neville, scholes)
- and the long list of trophies

AFTER ALL ITS NATURAL FOR LOSERS TO HATE WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
glory glory man utd
Devin Rodgers on October 12th, 2008 1:08

-old trafford isn’t the best stadium in England, obviously Wembley is because its the greatest stage for football in the world (Unless your refering to club stadiums)
-for people “rooted” to their clubs your hatred for Chelsea made you forget to recognize John Terry
-Developing young players is great but any smart team takes advantage of wealth to bring in good players at their peak. If one is able to and doesn’t do so, they are idiotic. Man U did buy Berbatov
Shakeel Kumar Goorah on October 12th, 2008 18:09

heh well said…they all hate ManYoo bcoz they don’t have wat United have…well said……united players play the best football around the world…in england ther’s no team that have beaten man utd more times that man utd have-to them….see the statistics..with 330 millions of fans that can fill in 436 old traffords….there’s a reason y all these people hate us…u knw its like a ratio…the more u r loved…the more u r hated also….cheers…Glory glory man utd…long live united fansss
tendai gakaka from zimbabwe on October 14th, 2008 13:15

i dont see why there is so much confusion about this whole issue.it is obvious that when u are the best, u are hated by the rest. does any1 hate wigan or fulham or west brom? the answer is NO because they hav not won anything. liverpoll supporters should stop talkin bwt wat they did in the days of kevin keegan or wateva coz u are only as good as your last season.in our last season, we won the champs league and the premiership.wat did liverpool,arsenal and chelsea win, huh? they should win some trophies 1st,then maybe we can have this debate again.
Vinh Bui on October 14th, 2008 18:08

Hate ManU: U are obviously and currently stupid, Zee said there are 5% ppl in planet are LOVING Manutd, is it related about coming to Old Trafford and seeing their players play?
Keep urself from being called “Not smart” ( be polite :D).
Many MU’s fans are scurrilous… i agree.. but the rest aren’t :D, they love the club with all ur heart :D…

I am an American from Dallas TX, which of course is the home of the Dallas Cowboys. I am also a football fan and can catch only a few games a week, as the TV coverage here, is poor to say the least. Now as a life long Cowboy fan, there has always been a bit of scorn from other fans, because the Cowboys are either loved or hated. The reason in my opinion, is because they have won, 5 Super Bowls. There are numerous teams in “American Football” that have not even been to “the big game”. Now people will jump on the bandwagon when teams are winning and right now Man U is definitely winning. People like to support winners, it makes it easier to watch and be a fan. The media giant, Man U can not be stopped and there appearance in multiple big games, help support this. Could all the hatred be from the fact that, they can and do, buy all the big name players? Some supporters of smaller clubs or (feeder clubs) may be a bit jealous because they can not compete with Man U’s pocketbook. Now I know the Saudi’s for example have pumped some big bucks into the game, but this was all started, at least in the EPL, by Man U. It will be interesting to watch in the coming years who finishes the battle of the pocketbook!
Leon on October 24th, 2008 13:41

Man utd is one of the best clubs in the world. And the fans should be proud of what kind of team they have.

And for all of you non united fans,
Fedi is Ferdinand
MUFC on November 7th, 2008 19:51

@watkins
there are too many good teams in the BPL and its just impossible for 1 team to win week in week out…
and football is all about winning right then why are you excluding the trophies
just see now that we are startin to hit form, we are nearing our champions and unbeatable status
@kopite88
done even get me started on the liverpool fans, just about their glorius past because they cant comment on the present, and maybe yes some United fans dont know the game well, but what matters are the non-glory hunter fans… we respect other teams but think that we are the best because lets face it currently is true

@sparky
ironically u seem to be the most arrogant of all the posts
1)we acknowledge that u have a good history but u have kinda dried out in recent years except for the 1 UCL…
and before United won the UCL last season i can tell dozens of scouse were saying that what matters is being the champs of europe…even though Rafa said that its harder to win the league then d UCL
2)by far the most arrogant group of fans are the scouse…..i mean we are not british we are scouse !!!! wat d hell are you doing in BPL then!! get out of england, no one needs a team hear which cant respect its own nationality
3)the fact that u keep saying the 18-5 crap shows that u are the ones who forget things… live in the present and not the past…
4)u dont have even close to as many fans then how will u know how u would have reacted

talking about arrogance, till now in this post no one has been more arrogant then anti-manu or sparky and they are one of the only non-united fans here…

in the end…
LIVERPOOL hate United because we are the only competition to their trophies
CHELSEA hate United because mainly its chelsea and Man United which are winning the current trophies
ARSENAL hate United because we are the only competition tp their claim of the best youngsters and rather are the ones who produce home-grown talent for which Arsenal are criticised often
MUFC on November 7th, 2008 19:53

so the team which is hated is United

i think they are so good i want to see them play but its alot of money just to get a ticket. but i want to see them on my birthday that is 28th september and now im 15

worst thing about man u are the fans who have never been to manchester in thier life and try to boast about how good they are because their winnin games.if people just supported their home teams i dnt fink man united wud be as hated as they are now.
MakanU on December 26th, 2008 3:46

The reason why Man Utd is so hated in England might be down to their success (as some Man Utd fans have mentioned), but why are they so hated OUTSIDE England is very much due to their arrogance (which might be a big factor even in England)..Just read some of those Man Utd fan’s posts..We have the best (manager, player, left WB, Keeper, Striker, Most Fans, Stadium)…which to me is utter bullshit

CR7 - Voted WOPY yes, but trust me more than 1/2 the world thinks that Messi is better, he only won due to the 42 goal

Manager - Marcelo Lippi won more trophies as a manager managing different teams, whereas SAF is just in his comfort zone with shitloads of money winning trophies, to me Lippi > SAF due to the difficulties involved

Erva - Pretty much one of the top 3 LB in the world for me, but it is the certainty that some ManU fans mention him as “100% the best lb in the world” that shows arrogance…i mean they can even play table tennis and their fans might say they are the best table tennis player than the chinese national team

Most Fans - Cant really argue with that..then again ow many of those “fans” only know Beckham or CR7?? One ManUtd fan (a friend of mine) do not even know they are located in England lol

Best team in England - Wrong, best team in England now is Liverpool, facts do not lie please look at the EPL’s table

Best team in the World (lol) - Wrong again, most neutrals will tell you the best team in the world right now is Barcelona

Won the most trophies - Very very very wrong, if we talk about major trophies, Real Madrid, Juventus, Ac Milan, Barcelona and Liverpool surely won more trophies (I even took out Bayern Munich due to the inferior german leage, but do not forget in the histroy of football the German League was once very strong)..therefore this is the stupidest comment we can ever hear from a ManU fan

Best Stadium in the world - Another big bullcrap, yes Old Trafford might be one of the best stadium in the world, but there are too many “one of the best” stadiums in the world to call it “THE BEST STADIUM” in the world

In conclusion, why are ManUtd so hated in England as well as outside England from teams that only compete with them in the ECL, their ARROGANCE.
Glen on December 26th, 2008 17:45

Haha. I wonder how you managed to write down all of that bullshit in just one comment, MakanU. Yeah, maybe a few of them that you mentioned are true, but from your words i can tell that you’re being biased. You said that more than half the world thinks messi is better, and it is an arguable case. Why do so many ppl hate Ronaldo? His football skills are absolutely fantastic, but his arrogance (Fans get the arrogance from the players, you see) just overshadows everything thats good about him. To be named best player is all about the football talent, so Ronaldo deserves to be known as the best player of the world. If you still don’t agree with me, just recap back on his performance last season. Best team in England, you can’t just assume its Liverpool by looking at the table. You have to wait until the season’s over then you can proclaim who the best team in England is. And, best team in the world, maybe you and many others think its Barcelona, but they don’t have any achievement that backs them that THEY are the best in the world. Man Utd won the Club World Cup recently, so that trophy is the evidence that they are the best in the world. Your meaning of ‘Best Team’ is all based on their current performance, not the overall performance. However, theres one thing i do agree with you - Man Utd fans are ARROGANT.

I’m not too sure if many people hate Man Utd fans. What I do know is that Man Utd have a strong support from the media in Asia. Everything is always about Man Utd. They despise other teams, particularly Liverpool FC.

THE MAIN REASON ALL REAL FOOTBALL FANS HATE THE SHEEP IS BECAUSE OF THEIR FANS. GO TO ANY PUB ON A SATURDAY NIGHT DURING THE SEASON AND SEE SCRATTERS TAKING THE P–S OUT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN TO SEE THEIR TEAM PLAY WHILE THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PUB DRINKING OUT OF THEIR MANURE TANKARDS!!!!! WINKERS!!!!!!

NorthEnder on March 23rd, 2009 15:17

Jealous? Why do Mank say that?

It’s the arrogance of the club; the refusal of the manager to speak with the press; the fantasy that because they are big they are best.; their disdain of the local community; their insensitive exploitation of fans; the persistent conspiracy theories about referees and fixtures list.

They realiyy is bullying and luck; an absence of dignity and grace; and too many over paid prima donnas.

Funnily enough, they avoid the trophy count as they know that’s when exposed they’re beaten. Real Madid, AC Milan, and omigod the real devil, Liverpool FC.

I’m from India and many people in India support either Manchester utd. or Chelsea, the reason being that in the recent past, these 2 teams have been dominating the premier league. Many of them are not aware of the accomplishments of other clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle etc. Most of them do not know about the marvellous run that Arsenal had in the 2003-04 season or the unforgettable Istanbul miracle in 2005. The premier league became a craze in India during the late 90’s when Manchester Utd. where dominating the league. This was also the time when Beckham was at his peak n had a large female following. Most of these people just blindly started following Manchester utd. due to their success. When Chelsea rose to fame n Manchester utd. went down a notch at the turn of the 21st century, a decent percetnage of the Manchester fans became Chelsea fans. Also, many people(especially teenage girls)in India support Manchester utd. n Portugal simply because C.Ronaldo plays for both teams. When people say tht they support Arsenal or Liverpool(which i support quite passionately) or any other club for that matter, united fans begin to brag that Manchester is the simply the best and no team is greater whch is completely ludicrous. As far as the players are concerned utd. have had some outstanding players in the pas like George Best, Jack Rowley, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, David Beckham n have some at the moment like Giggs, Scholes n Vidic but there are a good no. of them who are highly overrated in my opinion stand outs being Ronaldo, Rooney n Nani. The most dominating cause for this hatred is that many United fans outside England do not have any knowledge about football and it’s history and yet they are arrogant about united’s achievements.
tendai gakaka on March 26th, 2009 7:43

it is obvious from these last few comments that there are people just making analysis due to their hatred for man u and not actual facts. how can 1 deny that we are a good team.i dnt see how one can just sweep our achievements under the rug when they are so great.do u know that we are the current holders of all the trophies we can compete in except the f.a cup (which we are gonna take anyway, just watch) and we are well on course to become the 1st club to defend the champions league. all the other teams should wait until they have won something before they start bumping their gums about stuff they know nothin about.@least arsenal and chelsea can say a little something coz they won premiership within living memory.unlike liverpool who last won a title before some of us where born.

hey, give the american football fans a chance to tok 2….
some peeps skof at me win i sa dis, but my mom’s side of the fam came from manchester, england, in 1901 or 02 and were by blood man u fans thru good and bahd times. and me dad’s side came from dublin ireland and were divide mongst the top 5 in the premiership, butt mosly MUFC fans. i carry on the tradition, evn tho my family is more of a baseball (cricket) and american football (rugby) fam.
i tell ya honesly, an arrogant fan is a damned fan, deserving of a good kick up between the legs.. if u kach the dreft…. haha.
grim reaperrr, good question… what accomplisments by newcastle? ive hardly seen any.
butt in portugal, they support either man u or cfc (chelsea) cuz of deco (cfc) and ronaldo (mu).
i send my compliments to tendai… who can deny man u is the brazil of club football? jes watch, fa cup is ours… not to get arrogant, i say that because i am supportive of my fc….
arsenal and chelsea do got something to talk bout…. living memory titles in last 15 or so years. but livpool, and no offense to livpool fans, last time i heard their last title was a 1970 sumin win in uefa.
i no yall say i love to talk, butt take my word for it, i’m jes hyped up over the beautiful game, and for man u. i am not arrogant, ill say again….
nice talkin to yall, british.
grim_reaperr on March 28th, 2009 9:58

Bradley, Newcastle have won the FA Cup a total six times, once in consecutive years. Manchester have never won the cup in consecutive years n neither have Liverpool. tht’s something Newcastle, Tottenham, Blackburn, Bolton have done better than United as well as Liverpool, though United have more no. of FA cup titles. it’s not a great achievement but it is something Manchester have never achieved.
Brad on April 1st, 2009 0:40

my bad, my bad… besides, it aint bradley, it’s Brad…
I havent seen newcastle win the fa cup… lookin at em from how they’ve been doin this season has made me think there a bit lucke not to be relegated… i’ve seen, let me think, two or three of there games this season, a goalless tie with cfc, and i ferget wot else, but the other 2 were indeed losses. not very impresive to be honest.
i no man united aint won the fa cup consecutivly but i hope that changes soon.
i aint arrogant, i agree with u, man u aint ever won fa cup consecutivly so far. but in football, especially among the top teams, u can always get ur butt whipped any time…. lets see, livpool spanked by middlesborough 4- nil, and mu throttled 4- 1 gainst livpool….
again, i aint arrogant, so here i wont put glory glory man united- to me its jes pure arrogance, so i’ll settle 4 this…

man u supporters shld stick their praises2 their teams recent sucesses than de so called many trophies if u win this year u will equal livpools no. of titles livpool has mo euro cups than u, u hve 3 livpool has 5 i don bout de f.a cup since i am no english soccer fan i don even consider it. real madrid, ac milan byern, ajax are some of de few teams 2 have mo UCL trophies than so where is ur argument of de so called many trophies. as 4 fergie he is a good coach bt if coaches stayed dat long at a club they wld achieve fergie’s status with min effort. the last players i heard fergie groomed are the golden generation in de twilight of their careers. plyrs lyk ronaldo,nani,anderson,tevez & others were already good plyrs say fergie has the best scout 4 talent already there & don forget the pocket whch u so many times criticise ur rivals of using. talk of spending man u fans who always blast chelsea & man city 4 their signings manu also spends a lot of money on transfers only dat u’re so blind 2 the day 2 day happenigs of ur team dindn’t u sign bebartov, rooney,tevez,evra when they were already world class players. as 4 some who say u have de best attacking forwards in de world do u think Barca is in mars check their records 4 dis season having all the 3 forwards in de top 10 of top goal scorers also having the most goals than any team & even better messi is the tp goal scorer in de UCL. if messi had played last yrs full season ronaldo wld have come 2nd best & really half de world thinks messi is better than cristiano.talk of football greats if they regard man u as de best ever they have afew great pyrs ever in some positions if we were 2 compile eurpoe’s best ever it wld nt b suprising if none made it from man u ,man u has mediocre players take de goalkeepers only schmeichel desrves 2 be mentioned and maybe van der sar bt can be beaten by de lyks of chilarvet, kahn,casillas . your wingbacks, bragging bout neville & evra they are far behind the class of r carlos,maldini, lizararazu.a cole, dani alves even bakary sagna the centre backs u can talk of stam, vidic,ferdinand bt campell,cannavaro,nesta,lucio,puyol,terry , desailly are better off . the midfieldfers we have keane ,carrick giggs,scholes,beckham,park, cristiano,wld u compare them 2 zidane ,gattuso,xavi,senna,figo,overmars ,seedorf,pires,peteit,rivaldo,ronaldinho,kaka,dunga,pirlo,gerrard,enrique 2 mention a few. the forwrds rooney ,cole,cantona,berbatov,ruud,tevez, ole gunaer, yorke wld they stand de heati f we compare them 2 ian wright, berkamp, kluivert, ronaldo,romario,henry, ibrahimovic,del piero, batistuta, messi,
so y are U hated ?
FACTS
1. some juss support without getting their facts sraight
2. ur coach always finds a scape goat did man u play in the wembley alone ,everton also plyed under de same condns so shut up
3. the players are so arrogant , ronaldo, rooney
4. refs seem 2 b biased towards man u
5. the fans brag abt most trophies look at the facts
6. they shld let the ball, trophies, & results speak 4 themselves .
being most popular doesnt men being most successful so shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fergie has lost many games 2 wenger

Brad on May 1st, 2009 22:26

Fuck u dipshit……
hell no i wuldnt eat shit! Id rather becume a West Brom fan than du that!
I do agree though, bout MU not bein the best team…. barca and liverpool, in my eyes, are a good bit better, mainly cuz of henry and messi(fcb) and gerrard, torres, and kuyt(lfc).
oh an by the way, i was jes sayin i wuld support the team me ancestors supported, even if it turned out to be the wosrt one ever!

CxTntd on May 3rd, 2009 21:21

People like Syto amaze me in 1998 during the beckham era we both supported Man U why? Its because Man U was on top and was the most popular team in the schweppes premier league. Then he started to support Asvinal becoz of Gilbeto Silva and because Arsenal did not win much trophies he started supporting any team that a Brazilian played in e.g AC Milan (Rivaldo and then Kaka) some 4 years ago he started supporting Barcelona becoz of Ronaldhino. Frankly Syto does not even knoe the history of Barca and just becoz this season alone Barca has been impressive in the not so tough La Liga he thinks Barca are Champions. Barca can not be compared to Real Madrid in terms of success yet Man U are more or less the same with Liverpool only 2 CL cups separates us now coz the league is ours for the taking. Barca only has 1/3 of Madrid’s CL trophies. During my 11 years as a Man U supporter Liverpool has never clinched the league, they have won the CL once. You can not compare that to Man U worse of teams like Chelsea and Asvinal who have never held the CL trophy so in England for the past 15 years we have been the best. Viva MANCHESTER UNITED.
sytoe on May 4th, 2009 14:01

people lyke CX amaze 1st mi forcibly tryin 2 mek mi a man utd fan all ma lyfe & secondly ignoring facts juss lyke all man utd fans. whn i was a boy i 1st knew man utd nt supported it as i grew i left sorry man utd & joined arsenal coz it was the only team arnd dat played entertaining soccer being xposed 2 the EPL only. talking of being arrogant 2 facts during the 98 era i had long stopped supporting man utd . when i got wiser & xposed 2 other leagues i fell in love with BARCA when i left the man utd /arsenal all the both were doing well BARCA was nt on top so count mi out as a glory boy bt i wld be rather called that than 2 be forced 2 support man utd esp bcoz of its fans. for the record i supported BARCA whn rivaldo was still there it was the figo, rivaldo, enrique,cocu era nt whn he was at
AC milan bt naturally i wld support AC whn it played other opposition anything wrong with that? i neva object 2 the fact that madrid is far the mo succesful than BARCA bt remember u also don com any closer 2 madrid in the UCL. livpol are stil in front hate it or love it coz when debating we don take the period u want but the overal stats why shld we take the time span u got 2 knoe man utd ? coz it suits u typical man utd fan i am glad i left i don want 2 be associated with such kind of sickness. talking of the nt so strong la liga where were u whn madrid took all the trophies. in the uefa cup where teams play too many games whre was the EPL when Sevilla took back 2 back titles. who said i don knoe BARCA’s history one cld also surf the man u’s history in one day does that mean u ‘re nw a true supporter some arguments buffle mi typical man u fan or u were trying 2 make ur argument mo credible. thank u 4 saying that u think u’re the best in ENGLAND though thats nt entirely tru coz some think u’re the best in the world. i repeat again man u fans are hated nt that i hate it bt i certainly i don support it, is bcoz u ignore facts bt facts are so stubborn coz whn u wake up tom they will still b there. so support your sorry team coz u love it nt that its the most succesful team .
CxTntd on May 4th, 2009 20:31

Okay Mr Sytoe u never supported Man U right? I wont force u to support Man U coz Man U have the most support base but to say that man U are not the truly the best in England just suggest you have something against Man U. Take this can U imagine what will happen to a ‘Losefool’ supporter who went into comma in 1990 when u were 3 yrs old and wakes up today? Obviosly he will finally collapse at hearing that his team has not tasted a League success all his 19 yrs in comma and dat Man U are still ontop today. About being World Champions, can I ask u a question who are the current International World Champions? Italy ofcourse but are they better than Brazil, A BIG NO so thats the same England media is good and you can not deny that unless you are now just being anti-English thus when they praise Man U for winning the Club World Cup don’t take it down on Man U take it on them coz we are the current World club Champions like it not but that doesn’t mean we are better than Milan and Madrid so until December we will use that title its the next championships are held. About Barca’s history even I knoe that Klivert(s.p), Rivaldo, Figo and Overmars used to play for Barca and I could surf the net for more names. Viva MANCHETSER UNITED
CxTntd on May 4th, 2009 20:46

One more thing about Wembley Stadium. In his pre-match conference commented on the state of the pitch and then after the game he also said it was bad after losing to Chelsea. Whats wrong with SAF saying the pitch is bad after losing on penalties to Everton not that its not a loss but CR7 and Rooney were rested they have played too many matches this season. Thats why is why Wembley is in the process of getting another turf as we speak coz the F.A also said they knew the bad state of the pitch coz it is used for many different events just like National Sports Stadium. If you Barca whinnies were given Everton you would cry coz what Chelsea did is nothing compared to how defensive Moyes team is thats why they knocked out Loserfool and Man U and then Drew with Chelsea. So remove that one from your so called false stuborn fact.
Brad on May 4th, 2009 23:45

sytoe, i bet u “loved” barca only cuz uz jumpin on their gol durn band wagon!
stop talkin shit, too. MU isnt the BEST team in the world, but they are ARGUABLY ONE of the best in the world. Also, theyre (arguably) the best bpl team.
thing is, some neutrals probly say UNITED is the best team in the WORLD, since they won World Club Cup. I mean, u GOT to be the best team worldwide in order to win that trophy.
i dont wanna sound arrogant sayin that. that is actually my honest opinion.

neo on May 5th, 2009 9:38

Hate is too strong a word. Dismayed, maybe, because I feel they get too much credit and praise for their own good. Not to say they don’t deserve it but it does get a bit annoying at times. Every little good thing they manage gets overhyped and blown way out of proportion. Maybe we’ve got the media to blame for that, but eh. The FA are the referees also seem to make bad and unfair decisions in their favor, as with other big clubs (yes, even with my beloved Liverpool). It’s a sad situation, really. I used to blindly believe football had, at the very least, less political shenanigans going on than the others, but I was bitchslapped by my own optimism.

I’m infuriated by C. Ronaldo, though. I was initially impressed by his skills, and he was an alright kid so I didn’t really mind him, but as years went by he became more arrogant and immature. Shame. I also found all his talk about Real Madrid distasteful. Honestly that’s no way to pay your respect to your club and your fans.
sytoe on May 5th, 2009 9:46

didn’t isay i started supporting BARCA when it wasn’t in top form but Brad chooses 2 think other wise typical manu fan. Mr Cx thank u 4 shooting 4urself on the foot knowing a teams doesn’t give the credibility 4 one 2 be called a true supporter as u accused mi in de 1st place. talking of Fergie all i was sayin is that his comments aftr the match sounded lyke man u played on a bad pitch & eveton on a good pitch yet they played on de same pitch with same condns. on resting key plyrs it was his choice he thot his selection was the best on that particular day bt in the books we’ll record man u lost 2 everton.
Azmi on May 5th, 2009 9:58

Hm.. What Fergie desperately needs is a reality check. Didn’t he persist on claiming that Man Utd was the better team when Liverpool beat them 4 - 1 at Old Trafford? He can be very delusional sometimes.

As much as I hate Manchester United, I will still admit that they are a strong side. It is very likely that they will win the title again this season.

yeah baby …arsenal win 3 - 0 tomorrow..so in advance-in your face united frm yummy brummie
Brad on May 5th, 2009 22:06

sorry, yummy brummie, but u shuld be disappointed. united won 3-1, the ref was biased bout fletcher ( even the commentators agree bout that) and united r goin to the finals in roma.
sytoe, sorry if i accused u, its jes i thought u went like ” hey barca’s goin to win probably everything, i shuld jump on their wagon”. sorry bout that, i forgot bout barca’s little setbacks back then.
yeah, efc beat red devils 4-2 on penalties, but we had a good run this season, and theres always next year right?
as 4 azmi…. i think the “delusional” stuff is cuz of fergies drinkin problem ive heard bout.
uniteds a strong side. i dont care if they win loads of trophies. i jes like to see them play, win games, score goals, and enjoy playin football.
after all, thats what football- and football clubs- are all about.
teejay on May 6th, 2009 12:11

united are the best that is why they are hated.liverpool is history.over the past 2 decades united have been either number 1 or 2.loserpool has even setled for fifth spot.isn’t that enough for their fans to hate us.we rarely finish a year without an honour.look at liverpool trophy cabinet it is now full of dust.rest in peace arsenal.evra was right it was a game of united men against arsernal boys
malaysian on May 6th, 2009 22:17

ManCHEATER UTD fans have plastic fans throughout the world. They are not real fans, they just want to associate themselves with whoever is winning. If say, Fulham, is the best team in the premiership and keeps winning trophies, these sets of people will claim to be Fulham supporters too. So as you can see, there is no real support for Mancheater Utd. In fact those who claim to support MU know almost next to nothing about the club. I salute Liverpool fans because they are very loyal, even during hard times and they are not easily swayed. That’s what i call true fans. And Liverpool do have millions of them worldwide. Liverpool Rock!
Brad on May 6th, 2009 22:43

right u r teejay.
malaysian, ur right bout many band wagon jumpers, but i can assure u i aint. in fact, i aint ashamed to admit that i broke down- badly- when MU lost to liverpool and fulham.
Ive always admired liverpool fans- or fanatics- for their loyalty, and i have always been determined to show that as a MU fan.
its true i dont know ALL of MU’s achievements, but really i jes dont often hear of league cup, fa cup, or even champions league performances, but i dont care. I love united for bein WHO THEY ARE, as a team, NOT FOR WHAT THEY WIN, or AGIANST WHO THEY WIN. they culd go into the coca cola league one or even below. and guess what? I’ll always be screaming:”COME ON RED DEVILS! COME ON RED DEVILS!

5 Lack of respect for fellow clubs
6 Always complaining the referees
7 Get 99% of controversial decisions in their favor

CxTntd on May 7th, 2009 11:40

Mr Sytoe Man U is the best. We got into the second final in a row without any controversy. Barca needed the 12th man (Ref) to win anyway hats off to Iniesta he was better than the overrated, you know who I am talking about the one who can’t score against English opposition. I think this is one of the best CL finals ever Man U champions of England against Barca champions of Spain it doesn’t get any better. Man U has a squad depth such that one team can play Barca and the other Asernal at the same time but i don’t see any other team that has such a squad depth.
alex on May 7th, 2009 12:44

bad or good, it depends…. last few season they sell their best player David beckham, followed by scoring machine Ruud Van Nisterlooy, now may be next season Ronaldo!….. Frankly speak, they are making money, For what i see, they got a wonderful staff over there, not just player n coaches, i think biggest club like
Real Madrid wants to be succes in next season, they should try to get a quality staff rather than players,
Brad on May 7th, 2009 22:54

Let’s hope ronaldo dont leave. i say that cuz he has excellent footwork- even though he showboats it- and he cant help but score loads of goals. also, he is a one of a kind player. a good bit of uniteds quality will be taken away if he leaves, but he said that he real madrid dream is gone, so we can have a sigh of relief till the end of the season.

zed on May 20th, 2009 12:29

i have a deep respect for alex ferguson and his robot-like players. i appreciate his winning mentality, his ability to mould players’ thinking and personality.
even if at times they become too ferguson-ego dependent that a single failure to achieve the manager’s set points results in a desastrous moments… may take the example of veron… he makes them fearfull and inconfident… that seems to be changing recently which i think is the result of fergies aging and his increasing fatherhood drives… which ultimately has reduced my hatered towards that team.
but still i despise and can’t tolerate at all the skill-less display of individual players in manu.
they sometimes act like soldiers or rather race horses focused in one direction and ridden from behind…
i bet most of the ex manu players feel to have not satsfactorily played football… may be i sign them for a club at our village… am not sure if that works out even because if they would come down here they wont qualify but for a garde mowner’s position.

please play skillfully and fearing the “god” of beautifull football… so that i won’t hate u
Brad on May 21st, 2009 21:39

Thank u Zed for an honest opinion, unlike some other people who came onto this discussion.
HHH on May 22nd, 2009 5:58

Arrogant? Funny, because I think the most arrogant guys around my place are Liverpool fans, even when they are not winning…
zed on May 22nd, 2009 14:23

hey brad… has anybody “came on” this discussion? ……………… oh it sucks to know that
Brad on May 22nd, 2009 22:35

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Dont take it that way zed!
What i mean is that people who had a look in on this discussion and put down a dishonest opinion.
Brad on May 24th, 2009 18:49

sorry bout that, but i jes thought u took it a bit TOOOOOO wrong.
Mario on May 26th, 2009 3:48

i hate MU bcuz they have ronaldo if got messi i sure will be MU fan
Brad on May 26th, 2009 22:30

Mario, that is jes pure band wagon jumpin.

Ronaldo and Messi are excellent. When it comes to Ronaldo, people hate im cuz of his brilliant( if old) footwork, and that hes on Uniteds books.

4 leaf clover on June 4th, 2009 19:23

i hate Man U bcoz the players r just thinking they r d best in the world & not trying to be the best ….They r saying Man U is the best team and can beat every team though being beaten by Liverpool on both home & away …they shut d fcuk up when being beaten with 1-4 at old trafford by Liverpool not like they got 1-3 at emirates
Brad on June 4th, 2009 22:21

I send my compliments to kayode, veron, and zed for their comments.
4 leaf clover……….. no offense meant but ur jes a prejudiced idiot who dudnt know what a good…… if somewhat arrogant…… football team is.
Man U aint the best, even I- a United fan by blood and heritage- will admit it.
The thing about football that we can all love and hate is that our teams can walk onto the pitch and easily get their butts whipped, and that can be from any team, not jes equals and superiors.
When it comes down to it…… people like 4 leaf clover hate United because of the band wagon jumpers who say thier United fans, because of where United is on the tables, because of the trophies United has one, or because their jes prejudiced idiots who dont know a thing bout football. I can understand those who hate United for the first three reasons, but those who hated us for the last reason i cant and wont and will never understand or forgive unless they swallow their pride of bein such biased fools and at least admit Man U is a good club.
After all, that is what United is…….
Damian . O on June 5th, 2009 13:35

its bcoz of load of trophies in our domain.Theather of dreams.Man/United is a good side my brothers.forget about there sentiment and 4life… i will remain a fan of united.I dnt hate any team ,,,football is a game dat give joy,happiness indeed. as far as any club play beautiful game of football like man/united .i got 2 support them. forget about there so cal referees favouring united…let them talk.we will continue to win .My CO UNITED FANS…UNITED IS A GOOD SIDE … wheathertheylikit or not

lfc from nyc on June 6th, 2009 1:38

First of all, congradulations boys, this topic has been argued about for more than a year! That’s unbelievable. Also, before I sort this whole business out, I’d like to say the man writing in Russian is a fuckin legend. Brad, I believe you said you were thirteen? And you’re from Georgia? Right, firstly, no offence, anyone from Georgia ain’t a manc thru n thru and you haven’t the slightest clue on footy histry. Site some facts please. I won’t lie here, I hate Manchester United with a burning passion, but I will admit (btw I’m a massive LFC fan) that they play absolutely beautiful football. I think they’re style is about as perfect and consistent as you can get. The reason that most people hate manchester united is because they’re ignorant fools. I hate united for 19-26 reasons depending on the competition and for 80,000 more reasons depending on the venue. I’m not gunna name every1 but there ar 3 main reasons united is hated: ronaldo, vidic, SAF. Ronaldo is a prick, he also happens to be the greatest player to grace world football since zizou retired. vidic is a cunt…there’s no follow up to that one. SAF…hands down top 5 football managers of all time. While I hate everysingle one of them, I have an immense amount of respect for all of them. If you’re a true football fan you’ll respect Man U regardless of where your loyalties lie. Just a few more things before I go, man u fans are very fickle and I’m sure that when nxt season rolls around a vast majority of man u fans will be barca fans and ronny fans will be messi fans. And finally, brad, cxtntd, enjoy it while it lasts. LfC were the most dominant force in england for nearly 25 yrs. I’d say that manchester united’s time is coming to an end some time in the nxt few yrs. Chelsea of lfc will win the title nxt year. Time to sign off boys, and brad, learn some history.

P.s. I’m sitting in bumper to bumper on the fdr that’s why I’ve written this minature essay. YNWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brad on June 7th, 2009 20:45

lfc, i learn history all the time dont go telling me that.
U will be surprised if u came to southwest GA and found a small town that is filled with footie fans, and the largest fan group is Man U. Sure, some of them are band wagon jumpers, but me and a SELECT group aint.
Dont tread on me.
Sure I dont know all of United’s achievements, but I am learnin them all as I go, OK?
Also, I hope u know that a bunch of Liverpool and Chelsea fans roun my home town are unusually arrogant, they put the MU band wagon jumpers to shame….. odd aint it?
Ur opinions of MU fans bein Barca fans and Ronaldo fans bein Messi fans next season will be true on SOME peple , but NOT ALL of us. I stand by United the way i stand by the U.S. National team.
ONWARD TO VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN U AND U.S. R #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S I say this in lovin support of my club and country….
GO RED DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON U.S. WIN THE WC!!!!!!!!!
Brad on June 7th, 2009 20:47

oh yeah, got a neighbor who is a barca lover, doesnt even know who messi is, thinks he is the newest player in the squad.
Strange aint it?
Very strange……
Brad on June 7th, 2009 20:48

Though i do agree with u about some of ur fellow MU haters…. ignorant, biased fools who dont know what excellent footie is……
lfc from nyc on June 7th, 2009 22:28

I’m not taking a swipe at you Brad and I’m sure you’re a big man u fan. Alls I’m saying is that site facts when u argue. Go learn abt the days of sir bobby and busby.
agbolade balogun on June 8th, 2009 14:50

cuz we rank among the best. naturally, we must have haters. its nuffin to worry about, trust me
Brad on June 8th, 2009 23:27

Sorry for bitin back lfc……… i am very touchy when i think sumone’s havin a go at my loyalty.
I’ve heard of bobby, jes fergot what bout him, and all i know bout busby is that sume of his players- who were nicknamed the busby babes- were killed in a plane crash before either the 54 or 58 WC.
To Agbolade:
Ur right, though some are jealous of our trophy cabinet- i remember someone put that him and fellow gunner fans are hungry for silverware in a different discussion- and others overs certain other MU fans who are so ARROGANT that they shame us other HUMBLE fans……
kukaka on June 10th, 2009 22:18

United aint a bad side, az peps like to say, yeht some of em r airogant and Ronaldo is a showboatin diver.
Hassan on June 11th, 2009 15:55

Hi, and this a note for all Man Utd fans..

First, dont think that Man Utd are the best team because they got much trophies, look..

Real Madird got 31 leagues, and the most team to win the Champions League so Man utd is not the only team who got so much trophies and is the best team!!

Thank you (:
Brad on June 11th, 2009 22:26

Hassan, thank you for a good post.
I am a United fan by blood and heritage, and to the very bone…. but that DOESNT mean I am arrogant bout our victories and trophies……..
there is ALWAYS another team that will come along and give us a REALLY HARD kick up the………… well, you know.
For example, Chelsea in 1998 or 99, i ferget, won 5-0 against us, and scored barely 30 secs into the game….. Arsenal, later that month: 2-0 or 3-0 ( i ferget) gainst us…. Chelsea again in 06, Rooney got injured and we lost to the Blues 3-0.
Now, this season, as I ferget almost all other defeats( thankfully!) lost to Liverpool 1-0 and then 4-1…. Fulham- of all the teams i didnt expect to beat us, Fulham is one of em- got us 2-0, and Arsenal got a win- though it was an unconvincing 1 goal victory really- 2-1 over us.
that jes goes to show, we can lose, and there is nothin we can do to keep ourselves FROM losin…….
Gorkan on June 12th, 2009 11:48

Manutd are hated because of many reasons. One reason is to do with the fans. First thing though is you cant say all the manutd fans are arrogant because there are two types of fans in all football. One type of fans are the people who just like to have a team to support, either watching them on tv or at the stadium. The second type of fan is the one which is not liked, however unfortunately they are the ones which stand out from the crowd. This second group of fans is known as the ‘idiots’ which are people who are not fans of the game but just want to have arguements or fights.
Also another thing is you cant say a true fan is only one which goes to stadiums to watch the games, because that is ridiculous. Alot of people cant afford to go to games, their dam right rip off prices at any of the large clubs.

The second reason is that the ‘idiot’ fans from other clubs also try to cause hatred between each team by getting into fights.

Shame football has lost its greatness, since these idiots have come to football.
Imzy on June 12th, 2009 14:55

I’m surprised people are still dropping their comments on this ancient article. You hate Man Utd that much?

I hate Man Utd because of my friends (a.k.a. Man Utd fans). If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have hated a great club like Man Utd. My friends are always going on about how Liverpool are reliant on Torres and Gerrard. But whenever I said Man Utd are reliant on Ronaldo, they ‘re quick to brush it off! And I thought some football experts on tv have provided some statistics showing that Man Utd are more reliant on Ronaldo than Liverpool are on the duo based on the goals scored.

Now that Ronaldo’s leaving, I bet they’re keeping their fingers crossed that Man Utd will sign great players to replace Ronaldo because they know Ronaldo’s absence will adversely affect Man Utd performance. I mean, without Ronaldo, who’s gonna nick a goal when a draw seems likely?

Anyway, I still admire Man Utd as a club. They won the title again. I don’t expect Man Utd to do poorly next season. If anything, they will come back stronger with new signings. 2009-2010 will be another interesting season.
Brad on June 13th, 2009 2:25

Really good posts from Gorkan and Imzy…….
Imzy, we are worlds apart when it comes to this…… I am a United fan, like your friends, but I wont deny that we were very reliant on Ronaldo. Now that he has left, we need some one lese who can fill at least PART of the gap he left, as he was one of a kind, period. Gettin to my point here, now…. here in my hometown, it seems as though the Liverpool fans are the hated ones- which they probably fall into Gorkan’s “idiot fan” category.
Thank you though for your honest comment, as some people who say somethin here on this ancient article are blinded by hatred and/or bias…. and the fact that you hate and admire MU at the same time, while not unique, is great to know.
Gorkan, I just want you and everyone else to know that I aint one of the “idiot fans”. I support United as:
1) they were the fist team I saw and could remember
2) some of my ancestors supported them before they moved here to the U.S.-
and I have a habit of faithfully carryin out traditions- and of course I carry that tradition on.
I beleive that we are only ONE OF THE BEST, not the BEST club, that is barca.
But though good times and bad, I will always stand by my beloved Manchester United FC……….
Brad on June 13th, 2009 2:28

I’d would also like to say that we did rely on Ronaldo more than Liverpool did on Torres and Gerrard, but we will find someone who can replace him, though MU form now on will never truly be the same as it has been these past 6 seasons.
dj i AM on June 14th, 2009 11:43

WHO EVER HAS WROTE THIS ARTICLE IS ABSOLUTELY NONSENSE.HE HAS HURT THE SENTEMENTS OF MANUTD FANS.
Brad on June 14th, 2009 18:26

Graham Fisher aint nonsense but he can have the sensitivity of a teapot at times.
Especially over ManU fans.
Graham Fisher on June 14th, 2009 19:11

Thanks for that Brad!
Brad on June 19th, 2009 18:06

I wasnt tryin to be rude, Graham, though. Compared to what some people are like to ManU fans and the club itself, you can consider that as a compliment.
Brad on June 21st, 2009 23:44

Really, I am a bit surprised that so many people hate us.
I can understand the hatred coming from CFC fans, Liverpool fans, and the Gunners, as they are excellent clubs and are close rivals to us.
But from those who support other clubs, and when it comes to that, clubs that, due to the fact they are in different leagues, will probably NEVER face Man U, I cant understand their hatred for the Red Devils. I know some hate us for some of the supporters, some of whom are arrogant or band wagon jumpers or both, and that is a legitamate reason. Others hate us for winnin so many trophies, but only those who lose to us can use that as a reason for their anger. Those who never face us in a competition, due to the fact they lost to someone else, should vent their fury on whoever beat them.
I can understand Chelsea’s hatred. We beat them for the CL Cup Final in 08. I can understand Arsenal, as we ruined their hopes for a CL Cup Final this year. Liverpool, they are our fiercest rivals, and are always tryin to topple our regime in the Premiership- which everyone is, but they are always leading the attack, and they had a undescribably brilliant- well that does describes it, as an understatement- attempt this just past season.
Brad on June 22nd, 2009 18:41

One last reason why some hate MUFC.
They simply dont know what beautiful football is. And it is pretty bad when a American, comin from a country that, even though we hosted the 94 World Cup, openly defy the beautiful game for other sports that, to me, are down right borin, knows what beautiful football is…..
It’s MU, it’s Chelsea, It’s Arsenal, it’s Liverpool, it’s the Milans, it’s Juventus, it’s the Madrids( even though Real has turned me off with all these desperate buys- money doesnt help u win!) its barca, its Brazil, its Italy…. do I have to keep going? Yall should get it by now……
At club level, the Big Four of football are, and this is my unbiased opinion:
1.) Barcalona
2.) Manchester United
3.) Liverpool
4.) I’m not sure bout this one yet, either Arsenal or Real Madrid, one of them.
The fact is, those people single out Man U for the fact we have had a large amount of the world’s best, and that we have the most trophies in England and are tied with Italy and second only to Barca. They dont like the way some of our players display their moves, and the way they behave sometimes. But the main reason why they hate MU is that they are not true beleivers of beautiful football and are blinded by a hatred that they shouldnt feel.
They are arguably the scum of football…….
Darren Kaplan on June 22nd, 2009 19:10

The truth is that Manchester United have a long, rich, and successful history. You cannot detract from the achievement this club have made to-date. Now, if someone has had a bad experience with Manchester United fans, you should understand that there are many millions more and the chances that you would run into a very modest, likeable supporter of the club is quite good. It’s unfair to say that we are “arrogant” just because we like the fact that our team has done exceptionally well, especially over the recent few seasons. I’ve been reading the posts and it seems like the only people here who claim that Manchester United fans think United are the best team in the world are the non-United fans… no United fan here has said that United are the best and the fact that people are trying to argue against that statement is just silly as nobody has made it besides you! Is United successful? Yes. Very. You cannot hold that against us. We haven’t gone on financial crusades to bring in the world’s very best players to bolster our ranks and take on the world. We always did it from the ground up, through development, an excellent scouting system, and an unbelievable coach. Who was Cristiano Ronaldo before he came to Manchester United? Anybody? United’s success doesn’t lie in its cup wins, it’s league trophies, or it’s scores, but in the spirit of the club that makes any player a star and can turn any game, whatever the occasion, into a reason to celebrate. You can’t hate a club because they do well and you can’t despise them for enjoying their successes. If you win the lottery, I hope you don’t expect people to come poop in your lawn… why would they? I’m sorry, but the stupid reasons given here for hating Manchester United come out of an ignorant place and an ignorant place only. I could come up with an infinite amount of reasons for hating a club if none of the reasons made sense also! I challenge anybody to give me a well thought out, intelligent answer as to why you dislike Manchester United.
Brad on June 23rd, 2009 17:32

Oh wow, Darren! If I was a ManU hater- which I aint- than I would have a hard time trying to make a comeback against that kind of post!
Brad on June 23rd, 2009 17:37

And it goes especially well with the ManU haters.
If they hate us so much, why do they think we are the best?’:(
The thing is, we are not the best, we are one of the best, I have stated this too many times to count now. Those who hate us are ignorant, like you said, and blinded as to what a GOOD club and team is…..
GO RED DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brad on June 23rd, 2009 17:48

Some ManU fans were a little arrogant sounding though, as one put we had the best in everything, stadium, coach- which I agree on that one as Ferguson is just downright excellent- and players, etc.
Old Trafford is only one of the world’s best stadiuns, Wembly beats it badly, even though i heard the pitch is in poor condition. Ronaldo is certainly the best player, though he has a BIG, and I mean BIG, rival in Messi.
Another one said it is about our trophies and went on to call all ManU haters LOSERS. That was stupid and arrogant.
The post after that one read:
Quote:
“The source of the hatred is the arrogant fans, not the trophies. For example, see above.:(”
Brad on June 25th, 2009 22:46

Sometimes, people jes dont like a different club winning. they want their club to win and losing to another opponent all the time is sure to spawn hatred or at least an annoying headache.
For example, West Brom probably hates Chelsea, as they have lost all of the past 28 or so games to the Blues, and have scored only 2 or 3 goals in this losing spree. I’m sure the Brom guys are very resentful to the Blues.
kukaka on June 26th, 2009 21:10

Brad and Darrne have some good points…….
I am a american, like Brad and some other guys who have posted comments on this discussion, but unlike Brad, I dont support ManUnited and dont understand why British people hate ManUnited, along with many others around the world.
To me, hating a club is flat out ridiculous. What’s the point in hating someone if they dont hate you back. Brad and those non-arrogant ManUnited fans dont hate the other clubs, so the supporters of those clubs must take the pepper spray out of their eyes and not hate or like the Red Devils, but respect them for their abilities.
Of course, I am not British and dont get so caught up with adoring even my own club. Us Americans enjoy sports simply for the entertainment.
GO RAPIDS GO RAPIDS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NotHappy? F**K Off on June 28th, 2009 2:16

the answer is easy. why many hate man utd is because… man utd is good.. why? look at the retarded ronaldo hater, why they hate ronaldo? it’s because he’s good.. you all are just jealous, some stupid people.. go support your stupid club. still not happy? why they didn’t hate all the club that are not good, it’s because their club is better then that club. they hate man utd because thier supid f**king club is a loser who always lose to man utd. face the truth guys. why didn’t you guys hate all the club that are from the league 1….. you guys is a loser just like your club.. hahaha.. this is the FACT… so go and play your ps2 or ps3 and play against man utd, because that is the only way you can beat man utd.. so.. f**k off
Brad on June 29th, 2009 1:03

And yet the arrogance still shows from some of us…. for example, see above.
Nas on June 29th, 2009 7:56

if you are saying man utd fan is arrogant, then look at other fan.. in fact, in my country, there are some arrogance fan too.. it will be impossible if not a single fan from other club is not arrogant… and i even heard from my uncle who watch the man utd-barca match, there were some barca fan shouting ” f**k u man utd, loser! ” when barca have already won.. that is arrogant. and if you are calling me arrogant just because i say ” f**k here f**k there ” then you might as well wear a man utd and walk alone in chelsea fan area or whatever club it is, and see what happened next.
PAT WAR-NAIJA on June 30th, 2009 10:35
