Vidic can't really comment coming from Serbia, Evra came from Monaco so that really isn't a fair comment tbh.
You say you support the club, and not the city but Manchester United is Manchester (red half anyway) I fail to see how and why you can support a club you have no ties to?
It really pisses me off when you get people who have never even been to the city let alone the ******* ground and support us. It's like when your at the OT and you hear all the ******* paddies, I think to myself why the **** are you hear.

[migueldadon]

No you are taking comments out of context and using them as more of a fact.

We welcome fans from all around the globe and they are a part of what makes us a great and global force, without them we wouldn't be half of what we are

Have you ever had to wake up at 4 in the ******* morning to watch a game, or work two jobs to hopefully one day have enough money to visit Old trafford. You ******* people are a disgrace to the club, lets face it, without people like me buying the overpriced merchandise, and going to those awful preaseason friendlies Manchester wouldnt not have the money and worldwide power it has atm.

I think people are making too much of a ******* deal about it, Where does it ******* say that in order to support a club you have to like the city? Where!!, ffs all I said was that I have heard from people that have gone, or live in Manchester is that its not the most attractive place to live in compared to Milan, Madrid, Barcelona etc, obviously some players take that into consideration when moving on to a different club.

I spent years in Manchester and it's a horrible place where dress sense is

For my interest, where in Manchester was you born, your not one them people like in the late 80's, early 90's when Manchester was the place to be (The Hacienda) where when you went abroad on holiday and you get chatting to people and say where you from in the UK then and they reply Manchester, and you say oh really where in Manchester and they reply Derby!

Manchester isnt a shit hole. The weather is awful and the city is not as beautiful as Madrid but its not a shithole. It still doesnt compare to Madrid though
