Re: Come on United!

My father used to take me to watch Blackburn Rovers as a kid when we lived in Baxenden. We moved to Southport when I was 10 and my father had a shop in Southport which was open Saturdays so that put paid to watching Rovers. However, I did have a season ticket there later in life when I could afford it. I had the season ticket up until I came to live in Florida 8 years ago. I didn't say I supported Manchester United, but I love to watch them. They play great, exciting football and I have no problem with them being so successful, good luck to them, they deserve it from the way they play. Let's face it, most of the hate directed against them is pure jealousy. They're the most famous name in football. Some people, it seems, have a hard time dealing with that, especially the ones from the other end of the East Lancs Road!!!! Throughout all Liverpools successful years, United always drew bigger crowds than they did and I'm sure that really irked the scousers, especially as United never won the championship for about 20 years. It looks like it's Liverpool's dry spell at the moment eh????
