Now, I've nothing against people supporting Man United who live nowhere near the
Greater Manchester conurbation, but when they automatically go on to say they hate
Man City, it's taking their faux United support too far (for the record, I was brought up in Moss Side and Cheetham Hill and still have siblings living in Manchester).

When living there, it was always possible to have banter (as a United supporter) with
City fans (at work, in the office, pub, etc etc), especially when one team is doing better than the other, or on derby days.

However, when United fans who live far away from Greater Manchester start going
on about their dislike for City I think it's just taking their 'association' with United too
far and is pathetic (in my opinion).

Yes, United have always had supporters who live nowhere near the north-west, but
other teams who have been successful in the past also have supporters who live
no connection with that particular city/town (I'm looking at you Liverpool, Arsenal,
Spurs, Celtic, Rangers).

if these "gloryhunters" have hung in there for the last 62 years then I would be inclined to cut them some slack

To be fair they won a couple of FA cups less than 40 years ago.

Edit - actually only one, the ones I was thinking of were over 40 years ago now!

even so of all the sticks to hit them with "gloryhunter" seems unfair

Yeah, I’m taking the mick out of them. My old Director was a Spurs fan and would try winding up Liverpool supporters last season about them failing to win the quadruple despite them having won more trophies in the season than Spurs managed in the previous 30 years and finishing runners up in the Premiership and Champions League. I would have loved to have seen his cockiness at the start of this season gradually erode as they choked yet again.

As an older United fan we grew up despising Liverpool. City rivalry was just a good bit of mancunian banter especially when they were rubbish.

The world seems to be chock full of Liverpool fans who definitely don't have the accent.

As I said above, United have always had fans who live away from the Greater Manchester area (going back decades).

Talking about accents. My mancunian accent disappeared within a couple of years of me being in the RAF. Some northerners can still pick out a northern-twang from me, but my dulcet mancunian voice is definitely dormant at the moment.

As an aside, I left Manchester aged 23 and have been away from the area longer than I lived there.

Still find it quite amusing that the stadium has been there for over 100 years and you still chose to move really close to Stamford Bridge knowing what some footy fans can be like. It's like people who buy a house near Heathrow then complain about aircraft noise.

It was more the outright hostile racism to people on public transport from them which I had a problem with.

And when they cornered my wife and threatened to rape her.
