These 2 words seem to either bring utter delight to the millions of supporters world wide, or utter derision from any other Football supporter. Terms like Scum are often mentioned.
Emotional
The emotional response from non MUFC supporters is toxic to say the least. There is never a kind word about them on the various forums that I read from these people. I have no emotional attachment to any English football team. So it is very hard for me to have any understanding as to why these emotions manifest the way they do.
The Team
The team they have assembled at Old Trafford are arguably one of the best teams in the world. That goes for the teams they have had for a good 15 plus years now as well. Their results in this time speak for themselves.
I really enjoy watching them play, as do I enjoy watching Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea etc. I respect the players on the park for what they can do and the joy they bring to the Football public.
I think the person I most admire though is Sir Alex Furgeson for the job he has done with the players. The same goes for Rafa Benitez and Arsene Wenger. These guys are long term managers at some of the best clubs in Europe. They bring out fantastic qualities in their players and blend them into champion teams.
The Neutral
As a neutral Football supporter it is easy for me to enjoy and praise any team I see play, without the emotional baggage that some supporters seem to carry around. I can’t believe all that negativity is good for anyone.
