Bottling the Premier League? Here's hoping!

\as opposed to Darlo who are bottling existence....

Ahh, I expected a reply from you Chris. Afterall, Man Utd are one of your 12 or so favourite clubs aren't they?

I have a list so far of Hartlepool, Celtic, Queen of The South, Manchester United and Middlesbrough isn't it?

Im not a Man U fan at all,but I do prefer them to Chelsea,Arsenal or the Scouse gits.Especially since the black & white halfwits thought they had the title won & Man U took it from them.

Afraid not

if you said it then it must be true

Not really

How the fcuk can you claim to be a fan of Hartlepool & Man Utd

ALL Manure fans are cnutywunty bounder bolloxed bounders

Well to answer the OP it looks like they aren't.

Well i must be one of them too

Man Utd were the first team i saw play as an 9 yr old i saw them 3 or 4 times (on the telly of course) and as my dad was a fan, so i became one too. As i got older i wanted to go to a football match, so Pools was obviously the closest. Hence my love affair with Pools begun. Pools are clearly my number one, Man U come a very distant 2nd. But a Man Utd fan i am and always will be. People claim i'm a 'glory supporter' however the season i first started watching them was 1989 and they finished 13th and only 5 points from relegation......hardly 'glory'.

Like a lot of people on here i couldn't give a toss who wins the premiershit, but manures injury time winner meant my coupon came up so happy days.

Sorry, but I cannot understand how anybody can claim to be a "fan" of two clubs. It just beggars belief.

Matt stop being a dick, i am a SUPPORTER of Pools, i am a fan of Man U, there is a difference.

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just saying I find it hard to understand where you're coming from.

you find everything hard to understand because your a retard

You mean "You're" not "your"?

Retard

you can have second teams, and a scottish team and an italian/spanish/croatian team [or a soft spot for....]

I suppose my second team is East Stirling, I am a little perturbed at how well they are doing this season though, I preferred it then when they were the worst team in Britain.

Man United is a very lazy choice IMO, I struggle to find how anyone could have any connection or affinity with such a monster. That was a great game today mind, that's what Premiership football should be like two teams going all out for a win.

I enjoyed every moment of the JPT match today, but fell asleep watching the Premiershit match. I think that says everything about my interest in that league.

I enjoyed both games thoroughly, but not the result of the latter game.

hate,hate,hate that bunch of cun ts 'united'

What can i say? i look up to my dad and wanted to be like him, so i was a fan of the football teams he was (i'm english, yet i support Scotland because he's Scottish) i also follow Celtic & Queen of the South.

He is a fan of Man U because his dad was too, its hardly a lazy choice, especially when i started being a 'fan' when Man U were shite.

But they have always been in the top division for as long as I remember plus they have won trophies from the mid 80s onwards, you could hardly call them shit.

It is like the wifes brother who is a Manure fan, buys all the shirts, cheers them on the telly etc, yet the father in law always says that he has followed them through thick and thin to which I always reply when was the thin bit then

i wish i had a pound for everytime i heard someone say they supported man u when they we're shite.

I know I go on about scousers but I worked with a lot of them, some good, some bad, one or two I'm waiting to die so I can dance on their graves. Believe it or not some of them are genuine supporters of their clubs and have stuck with them through thick and thin.

One guy I know has supported Liverpool for 50 years and he isn't 60 yet. He's lived it every bit as much as Poolie supporters did through all those dismal re-election days.

I asked him about the foreign input and he said it's the price you've got to pay for your team to be successful.

All these L'Pool, Man U. are crap comments! What do you want lifelong supporters to do: abandon their club and go and watch Stockport and Tranmere.

There's a lot of glory hunters and yes, they're the ones to get at but there are genuine fans who spend a lot of money in their lifelong support of the big clubs.

Yup, a vintage season in English league football. And the reason I think Denis Law is ace.

Sorry but I honestly can't see where people find a shite to give about ManYoo. The main reason I personally detest them though is that cheating, referee harassing, gum chewing weasel they call a manager.

You do realise dont you, that every single Manure Fan over the age of 30, claims to have started supporting them when they were shite.

If you have a look at the history books I think you will find they were shite for one season.

They all say the above, beacuse they are almost embarrassed to be what they are.

They are all glory hunters, so sad that supporting the best team gives them a glow. Supporting a team they only watch on the box, winning trophies galore, gives them a glow. Bless them.

I foookin hate Manure, and all of its fans. They are biggest single reason why football is in the shit it is today.

No club, or set of fans, has promoted the importanc of the "Champions? League", quite like Manure and its fans. Oh, and how many times have you all heard the statement, "Its great for english football if we win the champions league"?

I am still waiting to find out how pools have benefited by it.

good job im only 29 then isnt it

Spot on John.

Wow!

How is any of this the fans fault?

Unfortunately, football is a business now. Pools would take advantage of such things if we were lucky enough to be in the position to do so.

Interesting viewpoint.

I mentioned the fans as they probably wouldn't give a toss about any of that stuff. You did start your rant by saying what you would have asked them.

I'm not sure if this is what FC Daftname of Manchester were thinking when they started their new club.
Telling the club you've supported for umpteen years to welcome to the board would be a bit of a wrench if you couldn't take some part of the club spirit with you, even if its only a dozen fellow supporters.

f-ucking brilliant!!!!

I want to see him croak it, Jock Stein style, on the telly. I think I would properly piss myself laughing.

Thats a very informed reply Mr John (or can I call you Mad.......joke, honest). And yes I could put all those points to my Liverpudlian mate. D'you think it'll persuade him not to buy his season ticket or travel by land, sea and air to the next champions league final like he did last time. He wouldn't be interested in critical views of his club by members of another tribe cos thats what footy fans do and as long as his club is there or thereabouts he doesn't care what bad batsards are organising the game for the benefit of his team. All he wants to see is the ball in the back of the net for his team.

I suppose those true fans of their clubs are every bit as much victims of footy politics as are the clubs in the less elevated divisions. I go with the view, 'don't blame the true supporters who go to every game at tremendous cost if their clubs and their associations are corrupt'. More blame probably lies at the feet of that Australian bloke who runs Sky but who now mysteriously seems to have stepped out of the limelight after buying up every interesting sporting event.

And as for suggesting that my mate would go across the water and support Tranmere for the greater good of footy ...well don't do that into the wind, you'll just get wet.

To sum up, you're obviously a great student of the game and it's politics but most people support their hometown team so don't condemn them for that.

Yesterday against Aston Villa the Man Ure fans were singing "Cheer up Alan Shearer........."
It's so odiously typical of Man Ure fans in particular who fail to understand that a player might want to play for his home town team instead of for them even if it means missing out on trophies.

Correct and all people (or majority) from Manchester would rather play for their home town club of city than united. The best football banner I ever seen was at Man U Vs City match in the away end the city fans put a banner out saying Manchunian section.

That's even batter than 'Scooty Out.'

They don't know whether they're from Manchester or Manchuria....

No fish puns today, right? It's neither the time nor the plaice.
