I'm OK with football fandom when it comes to actual football.
Over a transfer though? It's almost insulting.
But I guess that this is what have become of us. Successful transfer are now trophies nowadays.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

At the risk of showing my lack of understanding for 'football fandom', this thread is hilarious.We'll end up with the same number of trophies
Cry somewhere else, Amir!We'll end up with the same number of trophies

I remember that tweet.. as time went I started to laugh at their failures. Acting like they're some big club when they're a feeder club.
That’s OK. I am lucky enough to see us win trophy after trophy for 2 decades, can live a few years without them.We'll end up with the same number of trophies
As for Dortmund, you love to see it!
They’re the arrogant ones. They’ve thrown digs at us a few times over the years namely after we signed Kagawa and Mkhitarian, I remember they even released a statement saying ‘enjoy the Europa league’ to one of the outgoing players.
They have a model that lets them bring in young players with the understanding that within 2-3 years they’ll be sold for huge profits, the whole thing is a sham they’ve become the shop window for any young players agent who wants to make a fast buck.
They‘re lucky (or not so much this season...) that 90% of the league is trash and they can usually get top 4 whilst playing half a squad of teenagers.

We have a lot of problems at United but that's clearly not one of them.
Dortmund have a cringeworthy social media presence that positions them as the banter kings of football. If you give it out then of course you will get it back when you flop.We'll end up with the same number of trophies
If they EL next season then Sancho and Harland will want out. At least they will have a few quid.
It's sad that United went out in the CL because at the moment this is just an internet rivalry created by fans. We need some actual games on the pitch as well 
.
.Why do you seem to be taking all of this far more personally than anyone else in this thread? Does fans poking fun at other fans really get to you this much?
The standards some on here have for the team they supposedly support is shockingly low at times I think.
What's pettier? Getting mad at football fans having a laugh or caring more about a club in another league than your own.
Doesn't matter! You are the petty one getting angry at people having a laugh.
Take a deep breath and remember football is entertainment.
I kind of feel this is the perfect place to remind my fellow United supporters how utter pathetic they are.Cry somewhere else, Amir!
I saw very little evidence of that over the summer when people were insulted because some club wouldn't sell a piece of entertainment to their club.
It's not a "Sham". It's a way to exist and to do so at a good level. Not everyone is able to have United's (or Bayern's) money.
Don’t pretend you’re a United fan.
Yeah, maybe. If people's views on clubs are decided on what someone posts on their social media, then this world really is becoming too stupid.
After over 30 years of that, I really don't need to "pretend"/
So if I'm a United fan I can't see things differently? I can't think some of my fellow fans are bellends? I should support United blindly when they act like idiots, and also blame the other club?
Do ya'll love to see it? We all do!
I spend very little time concerned with the Bundesliga.
What is the specific beef with Dortmund, why all the apparent schadenfreude?

Just wait until you hear what some of them do when we score goals in football matches we’re involved in.
People here became awfully sensitive once someone started answering their silly gibes.
Don’t think you’re in a position to complain about anyone else being sensitive when you’re getting defensive about people having a little fun at Dortmund’s form.
Rojo. What a nutter.
Amir... i think you'd be better off posting your support of sympathy on the Dortmund forum.
Well, like 5-6 people have piled on telling him he should "cry elsewhere" and the like. I don't think Amir has been taking this personally at all, reading his posts. Unless you think it's impossible to have an opinion on something without getting defensive/being sensitive?Don’t think you’re in a position to complain about anyone else being sensitive when you’re getting defensive about people having a little fun at Dortmund’s form.
Might as well have fun at Schalke's form or Alaves. We shouldn't have a beef with them.Don’t think you’re in a position to complain about anyone else being sensitive when you’re getting defensive about people having a little fun at Dortmund’s form.
He’s got 20 or so posts in a thread dedicated to people laughing at another club, telling them they’re pathetic and should stop having fun. Other than supporting your own club, laughing at other club’s misfortune is all there is in football. It’s tribal. Light hearted threads like this are good. He should maybe avoid the thread and stop telling people not to enjoy themselves. It’s laughable.
He’s literally dominating this thread and calling other fans “bellends” this thread is literally just having a lighthearted joke.
It's his opinion, this is a forum. Doesn't mean he's taking it personally.
it was annoying enough Dortmund and Bayern fans defending Dortmund, and being smug and high-and-mighty about it. Now we have United fans doing it as well. Most here, in particular me, was annoyed by the smugness of these fans last summer and not really about what Dortmund did or not.
Boo hoo, go cry somewhere else (Dortmund maybe?).
Justice for Amir!
You got sensitive because people were aiming banter at a club who also bantered us after the Sancho thing last summer...
It’s football. Abuse is abhorrent, but light-hearted banter amongst clubs and fans is something which must go on forever. I didn’t feel offended by “you love to see it”, but now I’m having a laugh about it because they’re losing a bit these days and poking the jibe back at them.
Relax.
You just love to see the coming meltdown when they try to charge a King's ransom in the summer for players desperate to leave for champions league football, and no club willing to bite. Tasty...
Someone's shat on you today, haven't they?
Relax man, If you think about it, you are just arguing about grown men dancing around a ball trying to put it in a net. Don't see where you are going with this.
It's not a matter of life or death. People are allowed to be petty or take the piss, they can decide what they find funny and what they don't, why are you trying to police this.
Also you love to see it !
