I grew up supporting Man Utd and GTFC. It was the done thing when I was at school and my older brothers were the ones who got me into Utd, courtesy of them having Best, Law and Charlton and winning the European Cup in 68. Bobby Charlton is my all time favourite player.
They and myself have never attended Old Trafford, but we have thousands of games at BP between us.
Don't really have any affinity to them nowadays though.
Division 1 as it was back then, didn't seem a million miles away from our level, not like today where the gulf is incalculable.
Most people realise after leaving school, and growing up that they have no real connection to these so called glamour clubs and realise that supporting your home club is all that really matters, but I’m sure there’s plenty sat at home reading this wearing their Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea etc replica shirts.

Who gives a sh@t about either team. Thought this was a Grimsby forum.UTM
Same plastic wan.kers on here will be the same ones moaning about how shi.te town are when they're not banging 6 goals past everyone. I've got more respect for Scunthorpe United supporters than plastic mancs/Mickey mousers, at least they are supporting their home side. I'll get thousands of red crosses but, I'll get over it.

Not necessarily closet Premier fans ,but football fans. If there’s any closet fans on here, it appears to be the closet Man Ure fans getting annoyed about getting their backsides kicked. Perhaps the closet Man Ure fans thought it safe on here. 😆
Why are they on here then? F.ck off,we don't need or want them, they can all go down to wetherspoons and sit there looking like total sharp objects in their replica shirts, spouting shite about teams 120 miles away, beyond sad imho.

United were probably doomed when they chose the weekend to announce plans to extend Old Trafford to accommodate 80,000 fans. How dare they try and erase our ground record attendance?
It has all rebounded on them. They might as well reduce the capacity now.

I was pretty much the only one at school who decided to support town only, everyone else had a second team (and in some cases i think Town were their second team).
As a consequence of this decision I also find I’m far more of an England fan than they are/were too.
I have never regretted my decision, and whilst I will happily watch MOTD and the odd live EPL game for entertainment, I only really watch them to keep an eye on the form of the players who are eligible for England. Otherwise I can take it or leave it.

Some really angry people about today. Maybe because the only football they watch is Town and it’s been dreadful for years?

Was the only kid in my class that didn’t support a ‘premier league’ team…well, the only other one was a Scunny fan. He’d lived there, moved but stayed a scunt much like many of us have with town.
That said, getting angry becauee people want to make a thread about the biggest game in English football is genuinely mind boggling, shame people didn’t get this aggy 6/7/8/9 years ago when it was clear Fenty was a disgrace…

At least we agree on your last sentence

I don't support either team but watched the game because there were some fantastic players on show and I like to see football of the highest level.
I'm a football fan, and I enjoyed the game. I don't think there is anything wrong with posters wanting to discuss the game with fellow football supporters. We discuss all sorts of things from the wider football world.
