Don't say Man U.................

[tommers]

Manure, Chelski, Citeh, Wet Sham, Spuds, Tottering Hotspunk are all fucking tiresome though, it must be said.

Watch out Oscar Wilde.

I'd not heard "Tottering Hotspunk" before

I grew up 25 miles from the theatre of sleep and a simple 'United' was understood.

Yes, but if I talk about 'City' around here it's obvious who I'm talking about - but if I went somewhere else it might get confusing perhaps...

I think you'll find the proper abreviated form for Manchester United Football Club is Scum, or if you prefer, The Scum.

hope this helps

Started posting on a football forum recently and committed the unholy faux pas of refering to Manchester Unitet as Man U

I got told off for it, but no fucker will tell me why it's summat i shouldn't say


Any of you lot got any ideas


Let me have em

Was it either 606 or Red Cafe? I've seen a thread at one of them - more likely the latter - about how 'Man U' is verbotten. Can't remember why now - maybe something to do with Munich.

That's stupidly self-defeating. It's basically handing other fans a stick to beat them with. Most people would have no idea that it was considered insulting -- I certainly did not -- but this publicises that other fans should use it at every opportunity as it is a good way to wind up the hardcore.

but that only works in context . Are Man U* fans so stupid they can't see that?




* see in this context the U doesn't stand for you because if it did that sentance would make no sense .

What utter bollocks.

Honestly: the whole thing reads like one of those loonspud religious nutter websites into the whole rapture thing: we know more than you do...

 

[Obnoxiousness]

Pathetic reason. I bet the AFA would have something to say about it!

 

[CyberRose]

Sheff U (sorry, Utd) are the original United so I guess we have the rights

 

[Refused as fuck]

Do you demand justice?

 

[Gmart]

Bollocks - Man U is fine, don't listen to them fucking fascists.... who gives a shit!!

 

[Corax]

Found this!

What utterly spurious bollocks.

As a devotee of White Hart Lane, I shall now only refer to the club as Tottenham Hotpur, or Pur for short. Real Pur fans don't pronounce the 's' because it sounds like the 'gas chamber' hissing sound that Chelsea fans make when we play them.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

'Man U' doesn't bother me in the slightest - but it's when people call them 'United' that slightly urks me. Which United? Newcastle? Rotherham? Etc.

Exactly.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

surely the fact that using 'Man U' winds up their fans, is a good reason to use it!

I prefer Moan Utd.
