warming to ManU

[belondon]

Not that long ago, I would safely say I disliked Manu above all else, inc. The Scum.

They had the worst team spirit and were just so dislikeable.

Recently, however, Wenger and his team of Scum have really raised the bar for being bad-loosers and even worse winners. Chelski and the way they play, the way the treat their managers, and the way their fans no nothing about anything, have also made it impossible to like them. Raffa has become a pain the ass, looks like the annoying fat kid at school that would tell teacher if he found you smoking and for his treatment of Keane has made it hard to like the 'pool.

In the EPL there is no getting away from the big 4 and I have always fancied 'Pool out of that little club. But for some reason that I can't explain I am actually leaning over to Manoo.

It might have something to do with
- most of their dislikeable players have left
- their style of football is beautiful
- I admire Sir Lord Ferg and his dedication to one club
- They are the bext of a pretty awful bunch.

Is anyone else finding themselves warming to Manu, and can anyone share any adivce on the subject?

Cheers

Sorry, mate, but no go.
I love their football, they are awesome going both ways, but they just rub me the wrong way.
I think they play the game with cynicism and arrogance and it is not something I can enjoy.
Cynicism: the goal Giggs scored against Lille two years ago, while the french players were lining up the defensive wall. All perfectly legal but so very cynical. Even his smile after it was a smirk. I hate people winning that way. Seems unsporting.

Arrogance: every time Ronaldo scores a goal he acts as if it's his God-given right. Every time he's fouled it is an outrage.

I like humble players who simply love what they do.
Example 1: Lukica
Example 2: Palacios

And yes, the others from the top four are not much better.
Still, I am leaning towards Liverpool despite Benitez who annoys me. I simply feel for them, waiting so long. And in a couple of years the Yids will dominate so now is probably their only chance...

i cant stand any of the top 4 as they are now, however i appreciate great footballers and at full strength liverpool are a joy to watch, especially with alonso, mascherano sitting and gerrard behind torres. that is just unstoppable.

Yeah have to agree with that and alves is a great player, i hope liverpool win the league over all of the other big clubs sitting up there, although that could be because my misses is a Pool fan and is sitting right next to me so i might come back to this thread later *wack* hmm as i thought liverpool it is

Man U are a great club with a heaped history and tradition.

The rest are pretenders imo and their way of doing business is not right and propper.

Man U to win the league year in and out until we get there in a few seasons.

[DarlingtonYid]

for me i hate all the top four

i think that there is an alliance of every other premier league against these 4 clubs the amount of late goals and decisions the get there way are unbelievable

i reserves special hate for arsenal thou(obviously)

the manager is so arrogant and childish every time his team are falltering he has a pop at another manager there has been several times just this season he has lost his rag and threw a paddie

there club captain far from showing respect and discipline like a certain KING he is an aggresive little boy he spat at ballack last season i think it was and then he ejected more mouth fluid against hull assistant manager who has been in the game since litttle cesc was suckling his mams t1ts
and then had the nerve to say he had never spat at anyone before

then there is just there players like rvp who is another arrogant chap but shame he is not as talented as he is arrogant

tbh i could go on about every one in their squad but i wont il just leave it or the post will be 2-3 pages long

No! No! No! No! No!

Can't bear them. Almost on a par with the scum for me. Absolutely despise them I would much rather United win it again than them!

[Pitseleh]

who do you mean alves?

[Corey 504]

man u is a good club, ill give you that, but i cant stand any of the players.

Ronaldo is such a little girl. he flops like a fish, complains if things dont go his way. he is an ass.
Rooney speaks for himself.......world cup in 2006, game against Fulham over the weekend.
Fergi is a douche. he came out and said that rooney didnt deserve another yellow for throwing the ball because it never hit the ref.....? WTF?

that club is full of whining little babies who cry, freak out and complain if they dont get things there way.

i hate that club alot.

[berby999]

firstly i hate Arsenal above all others, always will do. The feeling of getting a result against them is well worth all the hate i have for them.

After that its West ham and Chelsea. Maybe its because i live near London and have grew up with them clubs and fans around me.

I would prefer manure of Liverpool to win the league over the other london clubs anyday.

Good Afternoon, I have to agree, and mentioned it before
I detest the shammers with a passion.

[thfcshady27]

ive always had a soft spot for man u to be honest.....i think due to the fact that the fans were i come from have always been good losers and been down to earth about the club.....as for the other 3 i absolutely despise them.....the pool fans from my area are the most arrogant bunch of twats and actually believe every year that they are the best team in the world and have been unlucky not to have won the league for a few years......man u for me im afraid!

[THFCWill]

The only reason United play good football is because they are allowed to by the officials. All there players are cheating gits who can complain and swear to the ref as much as they want and not get in trouble for it, they definitely have some skilled players but i hate the way they win. I'm glad they lost two games in a row and aren't you sick of the title going to United or Chelsea all the time?! Cmon other teams i say, apart from Arsenal cus they are just...well speaks for itself really. I hate all the so called 'Top Four' or 'Best cheaters'. Just picture it like this, name a team not in the top four that gets every single decision there way, all the luck in the world and allowed to swear at the ref and influence his decisions?

I cant stand man u, everything about that cllub is morraly wrong. The way fergy comes out and moans about ANYTHING that doesnt go his way, taps up players and thinks he's above the rest of the league.

Dont want t see berbatov win a thing after he left us the way he did.

Cant stand liverpool for pretty much the same reasons and arsenal is self explanatory.

Would rather chelsea win the league in honesty, controversial but i always thought mourinho gave us respect when noone else did when we were playing so well a few years back.

I also have a few friends who are chelsea fans and look out for spurs too.
