The most hated football team in the world.

Their supporters all live in London, and they play their home fixtures in a theme park.

They sook because people sing about Munich, but are happy to sing about Arsene Wenger being a paedophile every time he goes there.

They fork out outrageous amounts of money for players who turn out not to be that good (Michael Carrick).

95% of their supporters live overseas and know jack shit about them, yet profess to a long-standing love of 'their team'

Their manager is the most pig-headed bastard to ever inhabit a technical area, who never sees an incident where a United player dives or does one of their typically scummy tackles, but is always prepared to get stuck right into other teams whenever someone gets tough on one of his players.
Typical Manchester United Fan 1:"Who is Matt Busby?"
Typical Manchester United Fan 2:"I don't know, maybe he's the groundskeeper"

Everything that is wrong with modern football - with their Johnny Come Lately fans (from Croydon and Essex, mostly), merchandising empire that makes them more money than on-pitch endeavours, and the greatest bunch of cynical cheating scum you could ever cast your eyes on. Also former home to David Beckham and Eric Cantona, if you needed an easy reason to hate them.

Yet they seem to have one major contradiction - they want to sign any player under the sun (not signing a player courtesy of The Sun, as they usually do), yet don't want Malcolm Glazier and his money that would help them do so.
Pedro Mendes from the halfway line.
Ruud van Nistelrooy winning (another) dubious penalty.
Roy Keane trying to end Alfie Haaland's career.
The players chasing the ref around the pitch when they don't like his decision.
Alex Ferguson pointing to his watch for (even) more stoppage time when they're losing.
Another player from a small club being "unsettled" by the sports pages in The Sun, bullying their club into selling him (ie, Dwight Yorke, Louis Saha)

Team that is supported by Irishmen living in London, poeple who don't know about football and don't want to appear boring or people who like Beckham and don't realise he plays for Madrid and is actually crap
Who do you support?
Man U
Name a player
DAVID BECKHAM

A group of mugs who claim to play football. Their stadium, Old Trafford is a giant HQ of the Inbreeding Society of England. But you have to hand it to them. They have the best refs in England (Mike Riley)
"I support Man United!"
"Oh i didn't know you were an inbred"

The Greatest football team on earth. Draws derison from lesser teams because of sucess. Sadly a number of fans are glory hunters. Thankfully there is still a large number of true supporters and each one hates the glory hunters. The richest football club without unlimited millions from some tax evading Russian. Fans have seen the club through difficult times on many occasians and have been rewarded spectaculary. Malcolm Glazer threatens the existence of the football club, hoping to heap great debt upon the club and force the players to play in an empty stadium because everyone hates him so much. So rich that almost £30 million was wasted on the waste of talent that was Juan sebastian Veron.
