It's something idiots say that was started by American teenagers. It makes zero sense."Karen's"? Can you elaborate on that?

I’d never heard of this before until a couple of days ago then I heard it about 3-4 times since. Apparently it’s a thing."Karen's"? Can you elaborate on that?
Has a lot to do with people faking or manufacturing outrage. As well as being truly outraged over inconsequential things. Or just being flat out wrong about things.I’d never heard of this before until a couple of days ago then I heard it about 3-4 times since. Apparently it’s a thing.

Agree with this. Summed up well.It really is bizarre how much Bundesliga fans are emotionally involved in this. Take a chill pill. "Chat shit get banged", especially in football. Dortmund were evidently taking the piss out of us on their social media platforms over the summer, it's only natural we are enjoying their little "collapse" this season. Their gamble didn't pay off. No club will offer anywhere near £90m for Sancho now and his performances have been below par this season on top of that. I'm sure they will regroup over the summer as they are a well run club in terms of recruitment, but for now, i'll gladly take the piss out of them. If you can't handle that on a United forum, you're probably in the wrong place to be honest.
@Hansi Fick comes across pretty well. The good spirited sorts. So I don't think any of this applies to him.You’re boring just like your one team league.
I see, thanks. That covers ever corner of the internet then.Has a lot to do with people faking or manufacturing outrage. As well as being truly outraged over inconsequential things. Or just being flat out wrong about things.
‘Karen’s’ have a special joie de vivre about them, though...I see, thanks. That covers ever corner of the internet then.
I understand it as people routinely weaponizing privilege to cater to their egocentrism in an entitled, petulant and bullying way.Has a lot to do with people faking or manufacturing outrage. As well as being truly outraged over inconsequential things. Or just being flat out wrong about things.
Never said he wasn’t a United supporter. But the sentiment does feel manufactured.I understand it as people routinely weaponizing privilege to cater to their egocentrism in an entitled, petulant and bullying way.
While @Amir is being ganged up on here after daring to go against the grain of opinion regarding old BVB tweets, which apparently even excludes him from possibly being an United fan. Not too sure who's the Karens in this analogy, honestly.
To be honest, at first I thought he was amused by the incorrect use of the apostrophe in „Karen‘s“.It's something idiots say that was started by American teenagers. It makes zero sense.
This is glorious.I just don't give a damn about such small matters
Can’t argue with that, fully agree.They were likeable until they changed their whole club philosophy from being a respectable club competing with Bayern and going toe to toe with European powerhouses with a good mix of players to being an exclusively talent hoarding, agent pleasing, “hipster” shit banter club. Now they’re essentially an U-23 feeder club on steroids. Their whole schtick is bending over backwards for agents and trying to make gargantuan profits on their players rather than building a solid side that will compete with their daddy Bayern. The only place they like to compete is on social media.
I hate to say it but they were much more likeable when Klopp was in charge of them.
Beckham is your example? The same guy who has been quoted many times saying that he wished he could have played at United his whole career is your example? Ronaldo I'll give you no problem but Beckham? Maybe do a little research on the situation before posting and you won't end up being so clearly wrong.Every club is a feeder club unless you are Real Madrid. Manchester United, although a big club, is a feeder club to Real Madrid. There’s a reason why am Academy player who’s also English (Beckham) runs to Madrid despite already being at his boyhood club. Could you imagine Raul running to Manchester to leave Real?
This isn’t meant to offend anyone but that’s how the football world is. Other than Real Madrid, everybody else is a feeder club.
Why is everyone on this website so angry. Using a very common term doesn't make you an idiot, Karen.It's something idiots say that was started by American teenagers. It makes zero sense.
What are you basing this on? 7 points with 7 games remaining is a massive gap.Dortumund will still get top 4 unfortunately. I sincerely hope I'm wrong though.
Raul going to Manchester? Sure why not - in fact he went to Schalke, who where playing in the CL back in the day, but still a much smaller club than Manchester obviously.Every club is a feeder club unless you are Real Madrid.

What is the point of investing time and money in watching football if you can’t take the piss out of others!? In fact the tribalism is what makes it great though the Germans on here are uniting like the cafe is the Roman Empire.This is glorious.
'I am above such small matters'
'UTTERLY PATHETIC HOW MY FELLOW FANS HAVE LAUGH AT DORTMUNDS EXPENSE'
You're pressing the wrong buttons mate. I mean, it's cute somehow that you're so convinced this would make me mad but I actually agree with every single thing you wrote about Dortmund. You really shouldn't extrapolate from you to others. I'm not even defending my own club for the sake of it and am happy to discuss every weakness of it, why would "breaking the truth" about a club I don't even support bother me?A full-blooded meltdown if I ever saw one. I can totally understand your frustrations. You were sold a "we will seriously challenge Bayern for the title" dream before the season and you dared to believe. From title talks to having top 4 hopes shattered in April. I can see why it hurts.
The sooner you guys realise that Dortmund is nothing more than a stepping stone the less painful it would be when things eventually go tits up on the field. Look at the ages of Sancho, Haaland, Reyna, Bellingham etc. These kids don't sign for Dortmund to win things. They sign for their personal development and getting guaranteed game time at a young age. Dortmund's role in football is to nurture these players and then sell them on when they've outgrown the club at the age of 20-21. You should embrace the fact that your club has the ability to attract good young players. Wear it like a badge of honour instead of being insecure about it.
This post is on point by the way. Though I think in terms of arrgoance Hoeneß and Rummenigge are to Watzke and Zorc what Bayern is to DortmundI can't stand Dortmund (I like Bayern in Germany), so I'm very happy to see their misfortune this season. I think Zorc and Watzke are arrogant and deserve all they get.
Having said that, I don't believe they behaved unethically in the summer - they announced a fee and date for the transfer, and they stuck to both. United chose not to meet the asking price so that's that.
I think the "rivalry" and "trolling" seems manufactured by tabloids who are desperate to sell newspapers; I doubt Zorc and Watzke are trying to "troll" United per se, but if they somehow feel that pressure by fans/media could/would pressure Ed Woodward into overpaying for a player they would absolutely do what's in their power to fuel that pressure. So far I see no evidence of that happening.
PS - I don't agree with @Amir's point of view in this thread, but some of newbs that joined a few months ago are so disrespectful towards someone who's been on these boards for 20+ years, is a passionate United supporter and has contributed quite a bit to this board. Questioning his support, get a fckn grip ffs.
Good that you agree. Have a nice day and good luck tonight!You're pressing the wrong buttons mate.

If you really are so eager to wind me up for whatever reasons, my advice is to not actively pursue it but just keep it going with the alternative facts, superficiality and taking quotes out of context. That's the kind of behavior that really triggers, not some Captain Obvious rant.
And then the kid who runs their Twitter account got a bit cheeky.Remember when everyone loved Dortmund?
Thanks, but I'm good with either side going through Big fan of Guardiola's brand of football and believe it's about time he wins another UCL. With Sancho out there's currently not much to like about that Dortmund team either, currently.Good that you agree. Have a nice day and good luck tonight!
There are tons of manufactured sentiments on here just for the sake of involvement.Never said he wasn’t a United supporter. But the sentiment does feel manufactured.
The feck? How old are you man? I don't know where you got this story from but you've got your facts totally wrong. Becks was quite literally booted out of Utd by SAF, he's gone on record multiple times saying he wishes he could have stayed at Utd all his career. I thought this was common knowledge.Every club is a feeder club unless you are Real Madrid. Manchester United, although a big club, is a feeder club to Real Madrid.

If you think this was long, you should try increasing your attention span. Maybe read a book for startersDid it bother you so much that you have to write a long clarification explaining why you are not bothered!
I imagine most United fans don’t actually care.If you're a United supporter offended by other United supporters giving some banter to Dortmund after the way they've been bellends the times we've tried to deal with them and their little digs in their press releases and on twitter then you aren't a United supporter.
Of course we don't. Just like United fans don't really care about Spurs either but many still enjoy trolling Glaston and threads like the Spurs have officially arrived /departed ones.I imagine most United fans don’t actually care.
I'd love to see dortmund put them outTonight's game against City will be interesting.
I think we'll see some goals. Something like 4-1 or 5-2 wouldn't surprise me at all, I expect City to win pretty comfortably. Despite it being City, I'll love to see it
Be interesting to see how Haaland does. I do wonder if he draws blanks in both games and is pretty anonymous whether, the hyperbole around him might calm down. Then again what do i know? He might score a hatrrick in each leg. Regardless be interesting. This is one knockout stage where i wish i had bt sports again, just fot the knockouts.Tonight's game against City will be interesting.

Wait... what? A United supporter rooting for City again Dortmund?Tonight's game against City will be interesting.

Came to mention this.If Sancho doesn't get picked for the euros he'll be wishing he pushed that move through.
Why do fans of the English record champion even care who finishes fifth and sixth in the German feeder league?
The joke is on you and you don't even get it. You are obsessing over Dortmund because your very own yellow press took the piss on United's back this summer. They reported what you wanted to hear and you believed it like naive little children. And in the end, they offered you some scapegoats to channel your frustration and you gratefully accepted. All this hate towards Bundesliga fans stems from some of us trying to reason with you, it's essentially a defensive reaction because somebody tried to burst your precious, comfy little bubble. Funny thing is, it's one sided. You guys care more about the fan base of clubs several magnitudes smaller than yours than they do about your club.
So yeah, enjoy your little echo chamber and don't let reality distract you Meanwhile Dortmund and us fight out who'll get the chance to meet you guys in the Europa League after you'll inevitably crash out in the CL group stage again.
Dortmund have next to zero chance to beat City over two legs. May as well enjoy them getting humped.Wait... what? A United supporter rooting for City again Dortmund?
It seems some United supporters think more about Dortmund than vice versa.
