Who are you supporting for the Premiership title?

Calvin Zola - gun on FM 05.

Having said that, some families follow a religion, and their children are brough up to strongly follow what is preached. My Dad was a bit like that, as such since a very young age I have despised Manchester United, and very little could ever change that.

I wonder what you'd do if your twins show any signs of affinity for the Scousers?

 

[steds]

It's easy to brainwash small children.

really how can you hate Manchester United & talented blokes like Rooney & Ronaldo, come on now..

Easy - I ****ing hate Manchester United.

 

[superkingdave]

Yep, bunch of merchant bankers

I'm sensing some jealousy maybe...

I'd imagine that it's fairly easy to hate Ronaldo, in particular.

I find it somewhat difficult to justify hating United as a club, however; it has an extremely rich history.

So does warfare. Not a big fan of that either.

Anyway, after discussing it with my mates over a pint or seven the consensus was that it's still ok to support yer Chavs, but that if they look like winning an unprecidented 4th on the bounce next season it might be the time to defect.

That's a slightly different proposition altogether, though.

Agreed, I was deliberately using a ridiculous example to suggest that "an extremely rich history" isn't necessarily the best reason for someone not to hate something.

That's fair enough, but in United's case I think it is. I'll reiterate, I can perfectly understand why you'd hate certain figures at United (such as Ronaldo) but I can't really understand hating the club.

Because you have to live in Essex to support them, that's why.

United do have a lot of supporters in Manchester, just they have more than anyone else in other parts of the country, too.

Of a random team in an inferior sport?

Not just this country either TBF. United pioneered the mass-marketing of the club & have been very successful at it. Sadly for football they've been so successful that every other Prem club now sees this as the blueprint for success too. Witness all the foreign investors now circling like sharks scenting blood.

 

[aussie]

United have more haters in England than anywhere else in the world which is surprising.

Blokes like Beckham & now Ronaldo have got the females into football which is good..

Ronaldo? Are you having a laugh?

If you grew up in Manchester you'd understand

If he grew up in Manchester he'd be a Citeh fan.
