Anyone But United....make a stand against the armchair reds.

 

I wouldn't exactly class myself as ABU, but its a laugh winding up die hard supporters when they get beaten. (I think last night needs to be classified as being beaten ) I don't support any team. It will have no influence on me or my life if they win or lose, so I can't see the point really. Supporting teams in team sports seems to be for people who are not as sucessful as they wish, and find the need to attach their allegiances to a group of sucessful people to make themselves feel better. Obviously this is not the case where there are family and friends or finances involved, but the thousands of people who claim to support Man U without having any ties to the club or the players and who have never been to Manchester, never mind watched a game really confuse me.

Yep im defo ABU !! cant stand 'em !

 

I've been to Manchester - where ever that is

 

fast bloke,
As presumably does every football fan's allegiance to his/her club? Why single out United?

Because you are the most lucky team ever, fluke results that you dont deserve, youre players are arrogant and spoilt brats ( look at butt & scholes - always look like they are about to burst into tears ! )

aaaaaaaaaagh I just hate them

I could go on about this for ages......

 

Seejay - I apply the theory to all football 'supporters', which is why I said 'I wouldn't exactly class myself as ABU' and 'Supporting teams in team sports seems to be for people who are not as sucessful as they wish' Manchester was given as a relevant example in this thread.

 

Typical, cant stand success, will you all hate Arsenal next season if they win the double, as for armchair, season ticket for the last 16 years lads.

Try getting a life, oh Kippax I will thank you up front for the 6 points you will GIVE us next season.

I presume your team are less 'lucky' than MU, I remember a footballer who had been descriced as being lucky with his goal scoring - his retort was "Yes I am lucky and it's funny but the more I practice the luckier I get"

Sour grapes anyone

 

fb - good point but you cant apply your rule to my team and my reasons for supporting them.

daz - your clearly not an armchair. keep up the good work.

 

typical cant stand it when people say they dont like Man U ...
I have a life thankyou
**** it im even gonna support Man City when they play Man U now .. and I hate them aswell ( Keegan is a knobber ! )

Arsenal **** all over you and you know it( you are 3rd best in the league this year ! ) and no I dont support arsenal or liverpool. Youre gonna be lucky to finish in the top 5 next year, chelsea and leeds will be better

and then youre totally fcked when ferguson goes ... cant wait !

 

I can't understand such debate about the Association of British Undertakers.

 

Perhaps he isn't, but I am definately a hatstand !!

Who was that last tirade directed at - or was it just the world in general ?


BTW Wibble !

 

Kippax - I don't know your circumstances, so you are entirely correct. However, it appears from this thread that you support any team but united. Surely you cannot have family or financial ties to every team who might play them, along with the associated box of season tickets, which puts you in the same boat as the guys who support a team becasue they are winning

 

I hate ALL armchair fans regardless of what team they support. They claim to be loyal fans yet only discovered football after Euro 96 when "football came home" I work with several armchair fans (united, liverpool, city, burnley, bury, boro amongst others) and they get slaughtered when trying to discuss football with other match going fans. I have no problems having banter with proper fans - even scousers and blues

I can understand the hatred towards united from blues, scousers, and leeds because of the history between us but most ABUs have no genuine reason for hating us - they've just jumped on the bandwagon hence the "stand up if hate man u" song being so popular at grounds across the country.

MUFC - loved by many, hated by many more

 

wasnt aimed at anybody ! just me having a moan !

 

. . . m m m m must . . . . . not . . . . post . . .


DOH !

 

Fastbloke - Another good point and I accept when United are playing, by default I support the opposition. This is because I am a City fan from Manchester and we have this thing called rivalry.

 

I'm with alexf on this one,
Rivalry is one thing, ABUism another. I'll gladly debate football with other committed fans who genuinely support and follow their own team.
Hating (and supporting, for that matter)another team just coz everyone else does is sad.

 

I dont think its sad that I and many others hate Man U ..

I support a team and I hate another team. like many many true footy fans !

ask any everton fan who they hate or man city fan or .....

we hate man u cos u smell & u all live in coronation st



takes the corner in style

seejay - for once I agree with you

We all have a bit of light hearted banter with each other on here, but 'hate' certainly never comes into it.

I for one quite enjoy it

 

OK so hate maybe a bit of a strong word, but most certainly dont like them and want them to get trousered by every team they play. howzat ?

 

Carpet you wont tell anyone who you support but slander my team, this makes you a w4nker in my opinion mate.

Daz.

 

cant please everyone can I

 

Dunk - I'm filling up

 

SeeJay filling up yesterday

 

DJ that’s fergie hiding the snigger when he was told Liverpool were out mate. (LOL)

Daz.

 

He looks like his head is about to explode

"Veron . What was I thinking ! "

 

After last nights performance DJ I have to agree with that one mate.

Did anyone hear the Germans singing you'll never walk alone in perfect English last night??

Sang it better than the Scousers, mind you that’s not hard!!!(LOL)

Daz.
