I was simply making a point of how calling United 'rubbish' or 'smelly' was completely out of order, when they are the best team in England at their top form, and have been over the last 10-15 years. When we hit form like we have done these last 5 weeks, we really shine - just like we did against Arsenal at OT. We still have treble winning players in our team, mainly Giggs - who, don't get me wrong, has more experience then the whole Chelsea squad put together.
Somehow, because United lost form last christmas against wolves, and ended up having a bad season (thier second EVER end to the premiership without being in the top 2), people think United are a broken team... What they don't realise is United are on the recovery, and having the best recent form like I said, they are on fire! No offence to Chelsea, but it will be extremely interesting how they handle the festive period with all their current injuries and lack of experience with this sort of situation. Arsenal you'd think are more likely to win the premiership than United, but the 9 points that the big three are spread over is a small gap when you consider how Liverpool threw away a gap like that a few years ago.
Please Note: nearly 50% of every team's fans is made up of people from not in the same area, there's nothing wrong with it. Define the word 'support', then judge whether people are allowed to follow who they want or not. I'm mancunian and have been at OT in their highest and lowest, so there's no doubt I'm a 'real' supporter, it's a shame you categorise all the fans though - infact when you look at it it's pretty sour. I agree though that if you change who you support more times than you change your socks, you're not worthy of being called anyone's fan.
