Oh I get there are actual United fans from pre-fergie, but my school years (and beyond) were unbearable with the insufferable United fans who have absolutely no ties with Manchester and who’s support coincides with their success. So for me, it’s very personal.
Plus my in laws are United fans, as are half of my team at work. Needless to say, yesterday was a good day
I thought we played well and stifled the United onslaughts for the most part, when they came.
Annoyingly, I think they’ll be fine under Amorin, and you’ll be a different prospect for the return fixture.
Totally get your point. Whilst I’m largely not bothered by City and all their success in recent years, I feel the same way to a large extent towards all their “fans” who crawled out of the woodwork there. It wasn’t that many years ago they couldn’t fill Maine Road.
With regards to Ashworth, I’m really curious to know what’s happened there. Whilst the initial suggestion is that it simply wasn’t working, there has to be more to it. The fact that he has departed so soon after Amorim’s arrival, to me, is the biggest clue. I suspect there is some issue between the two of them.
Whatever the cause, it’s a mess. And an embarrassing one at that.
