The ABU charter

10th September 2001, 10:38

1. you dont come from Manchester

everyone from Manchester is a city fan

2. you are a gloryseeker who only started supporting united in 93

you only did this because they won the league; previously every United game had been played in an empty stadium

3. you only see united on the television and have never been to Old Trafford- you dont even know where Manchester is

The 'crowd' at Old Trafford is made up of a giant hologram

4. Old Trafford is not in Manchester and as such City are the only manchester team

Although Old Trafford has a Manchester postcode, and although United was set up by Newton Heath railway workers the club has nothing to do with Manchester. It is not true that United merely pre-dated the likes of Bolton by moving to a purpose built out-of-town stadium. Bolton is a homely team and Horwich is in the centre of Bolton right next to the town hall and the whippet racing track.

5. You change your shirt every month

You also kidnap children and force their parents to pay over £2,000 for the one-hour hire of each shirt. You currently have 18 shirts. No other team has more than two kids and none have changed their shirt since the football league was invented.

6. Your players are the dirtiest in the league

This is proved by the fact that they become goody-two-shoes when they leave. Ince is now England's greatest player and Hughes is the darling if the BBC. Why can't United players conduct themselves with the dignity of the likes of Batty and Gerrard?

7. Your players moan all the time

They try to referee every game. When did you last see such disgusting behavious from other players?

8. Your manager is the biggest whinger of all time

No other manager ever moans. Why cant ferguson accept misfortune with a shrug as the likes of O'Neil, Wenger and the rest have perfected. Ferguson even moaned that everyone hates United- how paroniod can you get? What a whinger- no wonder everyone hates United.

9. All referrres favour you

All United goals are scored in the 30th minute of injury time. As soon as it is scored the ref ends the game so United can win.

10. Cantona should have been banned for life/executed

In any fair society, United would have been disbanded. Cantona was a great player at Leeds: look what United did to him.

11. United is not a football team but a giant commercial organisation

No other club's fans would like to be this successful. They prefer to watch crap football in dumps cause this is what the working class man deserves on his day off. Boltons new ground is called the Reebok stadium asfter their tea lady Elsie Reebok, and commercialism does not come into it.

12. United are a money bags outfit who try and buy success

No United player cost less than £100 million. All Newcastle players are local lads who are called up from the coal pits at five to three every Saturday.

The sad fact of the matter is that many of these factors in this little joke are valid...

I'll give you 7 and 8 Davo, but the rest are bollocks...as I feel you well know...

10th September 2001, 11:03

so the following is true then Davo

[QB]1. you dont come from Manchester

If this is the case then how come in recent surveys, more than 65% of S.T. holders were from Greater Manchester.

Of course, fans of other clubs, were all born just outside the ground, like your good self.

2. you are a gloryseeker who only started supporting united in 93

If this is true then why have United been the best supporterd club for decades, with significantly high attendances? Of course, people latch onto the success, as do people at all clubs, Liverpool accepted of course.

3. you only see united on the television and have never been to Old Trafford- you dont even know where Manchester is

That is going into the real fans debate davo, a debate you know and love. Any football supporter of any team from the UK (foreign fans have an excuse) who have not been to see their team play are not supporters, merely fans (a big difference)

7. Your players moan all the time

I just wish they could keep their mouth shut like the calm and collected Sander Westerwelt

8. Your manager is the biggest whinger of all time

We... why does Fergie's behaviour concern people. have they nothing else to think about than their 'hated' team? I suspect not.

11. United is not a football team but a giant commercial organisation

No other club wants to make money. Liverpool opened Liverworld and built a McDonalds in the kop to give jobs to the local community, not for financial reasons, honest.

So you agree with me then?

1. you dont come from Manchester

many of us here, we out support siddy 2-1

2. you are a gloryseeker who only started supporting united in 93

its natural, liverpool gained vast support during their glory years..the test will be if they still support United when times are tougher.

Livvie · 10th September 2001, 18:22

ABUs never have an answer as to why United were the best supported team in the country after they were relegated.

FYI, I have been to OT before. Incidentaly one of my mates, a liverpool nut has never been within sniffing distance of anfield - moral of the story: Pot calling the kettle black, are you telling me that ALL cesspoo fans have visited anfield before?

Let him who has not sinned cast the first stone....

Moron!

All Liverpool fans were born in Anfield and go to every game, how dare to question their loyalty <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Davo · 11th September 2001, 10:30

This isn't a Liverpool charter its an ABU charter..

It doesn't matter if the same applies to Liverpool fans..its about Mancs

All you're doing is agreeing with it...

They must have a really small number of fans then - only 44,000+ (anfield capacity) compared to Utd's millions. Hmmm, in that case I better inform my liverpool mate that he's not a TRUE supporter since he has never been to anfield before.

unfortunatly, this is another example of a thread that has been 'hijaked' by scouse vermin, who are always the best supported, the most loyal, club in the country (also currently holders of the most plastic trophies). I think I must be supporting the wrong team, it must be such a laugh supporting Liverpool every week,

I'm off to Liverworld then I might apply for some LFC tickets on Ticketmaster (must have more luck than davo I reckon)
