"I hate man utd because...."

I hate man utd for many reasons, the ones that are in my mind at the minute are to do with the leeds match;

1. Why the hell was barthez not sent off? kicking a player surely warrants a sending off
2. Leeds having a goal dissalowed for "off-side" when from the replays, it was clear that it was a legit goal.

Other reasons why I hate them that have stuck in my mind;

1. They got a load of jammy goals in the season 92/93 and beat villa for the title
2. All the losers who know nothing about football, support them and think they are the daddies when they win
3. All the commentators are up their a***s
4. There ability to score goals on 88mins+

Happy memories that involve man utd (not very many)

1. Villa beating them at wembley to deny them of the domestic treble :D
2. Cantona fly kicking a spectator, i hate him but I have to admit, I found that pretty funny

What other reasons can u think of?

this is a little late, but meka said that sunderland scored a perfectly good goal against villa, and i agree, it was a legit goal but im a villa fan and its about time we got some good luck.

I tried to avoid this but i cant, I HATE MAN UTD EVEN MORE NOW!!!! SCORING ON 92 MINS!!!! FOR GODS SAKE!!!!!

And it will considerably reduce their income from merchandise.

Supporting Man Utd outside a 50mile radius of Old Trafford should be a criminal offence which carries at least a five year prison sentance.

That would reduce the average United attendance to about 30,000 !!!

Though I don't consider myself a 'glory hunter' as sometimes called, as I was supporting them during the lean 80's during Liverpools dominance.

In fact, living in East Anglia, I find that there are 4 main teams that are supported here:

Arsenal
Man Utd
Liverpool
Tottenham

Fascinating. Meka supports Man utd for almost no good reason whatsoever. Same goes for me actually. When I was very young my cousin once asked me 'what football team do you support?'. I was unable to name any at the time, so he spouted off a few names. I chose man utd and have stuck with them since.

If you want a better reason, I could pretend it was because most of my other relations seem to support them, but that wasn't the real reason.

And yes, I come from the south. You'd be suprised how many liverpool supporters there are down here, actually.

:-) C'mon support the English clubs in europe!

I'll certainly be cheering on Arsenal next Wednesday, Liverpool too in the UEFA cup.

Leeds too, once they have another competitive match, anyway!


At least it was Paul Scholes that scored. Surely everyone has to like this guy! He always does the business for both United and England, and he comes across as a really nice bloke in interviews!

They always bloody score in injury time!!!

meka_dragon,

I had no choice but to support Arsenal from day one. My father & grandfather were both regulars at Highbury down the years. I was taken to my first match aged just 11 months (at wembley when Arsenal beat Liverpool to clinch the double some 30 years ago).

Throughout most of my school years Arsenal were terrible. They reached three successive FA Cup finals in '78, '79 and '80 (winning one against Man Utd in '79). From 1981 through to 1986 we were truly awful. It seemed at the time that everyone supported Liverpool and this really angered me - as I viewed them simply as 'glory boys' who had no idea what supporting a team was all about. (In general) I have the same view of southern based United fans today.

Although Arsenal is my team I often go to watch Millwall, Barnet and Orient - and follow the fortunes of these teams.

To be honest I don't rightly remember. I just always have.

I remember when I was at primary school somebody came up to me and said "Who do you want to win, Man Utd or Everton?"

I think it was regarding the FA Cup final back in the early - mid 80's.

Anyway i said "Man Utd" I'm sure there was a reason why i said this, but I don't know what it was.....

That maybe so, but why did you begin supporting Man Utd in the first place ?.
