That I can accept. They're THE winners of English football over the last 16 years or so. <BR/><BR/>No, my issue is what all those people do and say once they put on those shirts available on every continent. The behavior of many of their fans, in my experience, exceeds the obnoxiousness of people who have followed the "winners" in any other sport during my lifetime. Bulls fans in the '90s, Yankees fans about 8-10 years ago; Cowboys fans in the mid-'90s (and that's really saying something), none of those groups of people can hold a torch to how United supporters react. <BR/><BR/>I lost my head and got aggressive when Liverpool beat United this year, but it was a long time coming. I've been waiting for that day for a long, long time. With United fans, it just comes so close to crossing the line between friendly boasting and purely ugly, hate. It seems like that's just how it's going to be, but that doesn't make it right or good to experience.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452206219434460235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061207609776406342.post-40002746548679439992008-11-09T18:41:00.000-06:002008-11-09T18:41:00.000-06:00Colin remember I will be the hammer to your anvil....Colin remember I will be the hammer to your anvil. With that it does seem that sometimes people sing just to hear their voices taking away from an enjoyable match. Now counterpoint to that I have been known to bring a drum down to the pub. I guess it is a hard decision to make to watch quietly or to be a raucous fool? I guess booze will be the key factor there. Also I would like to hear new intelligent songs versus the same old Karma Chameleon and bay city rollers followed up by nursery rhymes. <BR/>Love<BR/>CarlCarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254716479395043177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061207609776406342.post-7747470545240996182008-11-09T17:16:00.000-06:002008-11-09T17:16:00.000-06:00I'd agree w/ you whole heartedly if ESPN didn't al...I'd agree w/ you whole heartedly if ESPN didn't also show Liverpool. Not that I'm complaining on that front. But like em or hate em Man U are probably the most known team in the world. You can find their shirts on all continents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551450072611135108noreply@blogger.com
