come on lar...

all man united and liverpool fans in malaysia are glory hunter... laugh.gif

liverpool dominate 1970 and 1980 while 1993 till 2000 is man united dynasty...

i support man united since 1999, even they now no more that dominant yet i still support them... tongue.gif

the way people back in UK support their team is different to malaysia...

in UK, most probably people born in manchester will either support city or united, because it is their club...

here, all also glory hunter lar...

Here's another one!


Why do I support Man Utd?

technically I dont even know myself. being stupid enough by thinking that I was born in manchester area. I started to support Selangor first. Why? because I was born and raised in Selangor. well, my home address is both in Selangor and KL. I always thought that Selangor and Man Utd are like my home team.

I've been supporting these 2 teams since primary school. Since I started to play football myself.

No we've always bought throughout our history. Real Madrid have always attracted the big names. The same goes with Barca of course. But we've also developed youth at the same time as well and we try to complement both. You just spew your facts but they have no foundation. And your first team is mostly formed by buys as well but i don't see you slamming your policy. Teams buy to complement the squad and all the names u listed there as your examples all had an impact on our first team. Personally i don't mind if someone hates us for a valid reason but yours is pretty pathetic and your attempts to keep spewing nonsense as facts...well let's say that i think you can do much better than that.
Ignorance sums up your post. 20 players?! Where did u come up with the number haha...and we have bought players as we needed them too but of course there are a few that we didn't urgently need but i'm pretty sure all clubs have those too...Forlan, Djemba-Djemba anyone?

As for elections...well Real Madrid just happens to be a club that's actually legally owned by its fans so elections are necessary. I do agree that recent elections had become more political in a way but Real Madrid have held elections throughout its history and nobody complained about anything before. It's just a recent trend started by Perez and with the constant media spotlight nowadays...well u get the idea. But personally i do hope the trend doesn't continue.

And not targetting players top of their game? Owen Hargreaves? Didn't Man Utd unsettle him enough that he wants out of Bayern now? It all works both ways friend. And don't say he's not a galactico...cause if Real Madrid went and bought him..the media as sure as hell would label him just that wink.gif

no disrespect to you but tell me this season, which and how many players did u bought to enhance the team? what u guys have won? to be honest, beckham helped u guys a lot to win some crucial matches rite? and how many did he play for the starting eleven? how many times he was left out?

we bought big names and bring them to our club yes we do. but as you can see do we bench them? no no no we dont. we bought them at hell of a price because we believed that they could bring quality to our team. unlike your team which buys players for the sake of winning votes.

lets just compare this season alone. how many signings did your team made? and ours? what does your team has accomplished so far? tell me about that italian striker. what was his name again? Cassano? how many times did he started for first eleven this time? and how many times did our signing Carrick started as first eleven this season? from this reason alone it shows that our point is valid and why we aren't so fond of your club.

The money spent on Rooney and Carrick was ridiculous as well considering that they aren't the finished article. I've read some of your posts where u state many times that u think Liverpool spend average money on average players whereas Man Utd spend big money on good players. I agree with that. And Real Madrid buy the likes of Zidane and Figo who are the best of the best with really big money that is legitimately earned. What's wrong with that? You will be hard pressed to find any RM fan who thinks that we wasted our money on Zidane and Figo. If Man Utd brought Ronaldinho now for a record sum why should anyone complain?

I'm not here to change your hatred for RM. I just wanna make u realise that your hatred stems from pure sour grapes and all that principle stuff is just excuses. Barca brought in Deco, Giuly, Ronaldinho, Larsson, Eto'o, Beletti, Edmilson all in one season. For big money no less. I don't see you accusing them of anything rolleyes.gif
We bought Diarra, Emerson, Cannavaro, Marcelo, Gago and Higuain this season. And all of them have played in the first team and they were all purchases to make the team better. Your point? You need a squad for a league season mind you and Man Utd have their benchwarmers as well or do u need me to remind you? The likes of Park Ji Sung, Smith, Solsjkaer, Richardson don't ring a bell? Comparing Cassano and Carrick?? HAH. He was bought cheap and he was a problem at Roma as well. Go ask Chrisky. We took a risk when we bought him. You would have been better off comparing Diarra to Carrick but then it would make you look stupid because Diarra has been playing regularly for the first team.

oh well probably u might want to compare Rooney and Cassano? Both are problematic at their previous club I'd say?

I'm sorry to not being fond of your club. You might have been a lifelong supporter of RM. As I've said no disrespect to your club, but some of the glory hunters are claimed they are supporting RM or Chelsea and boasting how good their players are. Big names and everything.

definitely, everything is off topic now. I think it is better for the mods to close this thread before any other heated 'discussions'.
