[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 92913, member: 175166"] * blackninja I certainly didn't interpret your comments as disrespectful. I'm well aware of the injustice done to Liverpool by the Sun newspaper, so I'd not want to adopt a similarly crass approach by accusing you of such a thing. But I did intend to draw attention to my belief that much of the dislike for United stems from the way in which the Media draw attention to the Club. Proper fans have an entirely different view to the populist nonsense pedalled by the tabloids. Maybe there are more fans of City than United; I'd not want to argue on that. I simply wanted to point out that the widely circulated rumour about all 'true Mancunians' supporting the blue team is another invention. Probably by one of those Southern Jessies who like to patronise Northerners. As a Manc born and bred and a United supporter, from a family of United supporters, I can confirm that there's plenty of natives who support the Reds. OK. I stand corrected on when Liverpool's golden age ended. It just seems longer than 14 years. And you can't expect me to believe that United always get the benefit of the ref's decision, although I'll concede that Spurs supporters could be forgiven for thinking so. How do you define best? Most trophies? most consistent? richest? I'd not argue against Liverpool's claim to be one of the best, but United's certainly have just as good a case. Yes. I agree. The Wirral logo is a giveaway. * Rolf It's tribalism. Pure and simple. Who cares about reason when team loyalty's at stake? [/QUOTE]
