Man Utd Forums

[Rovingronrobyrugbyreporter]

With the dispatching of Man U last week and them hitting the skids at Fulham today, Ive been looking at their fan forums to try and judge the attitude and expectations of the Utd fans.

 

Unfortunately all Ive found out is that the Man U "fans" (Im sure the phrase "Glory Hunters" was coined for them) are obsessed with the Mighty Reds. Its astonishing, some of the bilge they come out with is unbelievable.

 

I know that like most big teams they attract fans from far and wide, but on the evidence of trawling through site after site, it seems that though the fans from further afield embrace the more negative side of the rivalry more readily than local supporters.

 

The amount of members to these sites that have some kind of reference to LFC in their usernames was also quite incredible.

 

I whole heartedly detest the term "Dippers" as well, Ive seen it on the Man U and Chelsea web sites.

Without wanting in any way to seem accusatory, is it not a bit ironic to spend the best part of a week looking at various United forums and then come and start a thread about them, and then say it's them obsessed with us?

Eric has pointed out the obvious flaw in your post, with the old 'obsessed' accusation.

 

On the whole you are better off laughing at them.

Fair point, well made.

Pretty funny thread

[Archangel]

I love Redcafe its the perfect antidote at times, the scouser boom and bust chart wheeled out at the start of the season was particularly funny unless you have your head permanently stuck up your a*** that is. Funnier still is that they are a mirror image of RAWK in fact they could all be part of one huge dysfunctional family and no, I see no problem in browsing their site whatsoever

I've not really been on redcafe before, but have had a look there this week - highly entertaining.

 

I see Murph's a regular on there!!

the irony is lost of them with their daily 'RAWK LOL' threads

My favourite is their 'KRAP' campaign (Keep Rafa At Pool)

They're starting to realise it's making them look a bit stupid now

Yes, very reminiscent of when we used to laugh at them about Ferguson.
