Actually to a guy in the pub that I know in passing. Enjoy.
It isn't often that I meet someone as utterly cretinous as you. Actually, on second thoughts, I take that back. Living amongst the sea of freaks in this town means that I do.
Let's start at the beginning, and I will go slow for you, don’t worry.
I do like football. If I didn't like football why would I be watching a football match? Unlike you, though, I do not watch football to support a team that is largely where it is due to wealth. That goes for City and all premier league teams, every bit as much as it does United. In fact, it largely goes for ALL club teams. Money almost always equals success (the reason why I hate club football), as you are finding out this season with Manchester City.
The difference of course is that you can't see it. To you, "your" team is where it is due to Ferguson's "genius" and some divine skill that was harnessed like a diamond from some dingy mine. The truth is, United have had little competition over the years and have had a monopoly in the English game. They are the richest team in the world- even surpassing Barcelona. Unless you are completely stupid or blinded by fanboyism or both, money being the massive, overwhelming reason for their success is obvious.
Why do you support Manchester United? Why isn't it Rochdale AFC? And why were you so angry about Peter being a Rochdale supporter? No, I am not asking questions, I am telling you answers. The reason is. . . you are a moron. You are a typical United fanboy who has regressed to having the emotional responses of a little girl whenever they are confronted with an opposing viewpoint. Like a crazy follower of religion, your mind is broken. It is the same thing. Football is your religion, Alex Ferguson is your prophet and United is your God. I am sure you also parrot the same lines like a church goer parrots the sermon responses- "I have supported them all my life" (Because you were baptised that way by your dad). "My dad supported them" (Case in point). "I live near Manchester" (Oh, come off it, and why don’t you support City?). I understand why nearly all United fans came to support United, and it is because United have been successful. They are on TV a lot, it feels good to back a winner and it is nice to forget how crap life can be sometimes. The reason I support Federer in Tennis, for example, is that he got where he did from hard work alone, and he is great to watch. No crap or dodgy refs; no money that can influence a result. He can't just go and buy his success. That is something I can support genuinely. I can appreciate club football players and the talent the teams possess, but there is a big leap to actually supporting them, and in my opinion, it is a bad leap.
The players and owners of United do not know you exist. You are a statistic to them- a means to generate money because club football IS A BUSINESS. I love international football because I am a patriot and I know that it is fairer. You cannot go around buying the likes of Rooney, Ronaldo or Messi. You have what you have and you have to use it. I said I do not like club football. I did not say I do not like football. I can appreciate a game for what it is, even if it is two overpaid clubs playing. You can't comprehend that though, can you? You didn't shut up all through the match, even abusing my cousin in the process. All I could hear from you was rants about Rochdale fans and shouting at me to go home because I was a neutral in the match. Whilst I may not support either team, I have a right to hate United, as much as you do to like United, and I also have a right to enjoy a football game. But again... like a good religionist, anything that opposes your religion has to be intolerantly stamped out, doesn't it? Well, f*ck you. Your god lost. I enjoyed every single minute of your displeasure; watching how a religionist behaves when things are not going to plan. The best bit of all though, was that you were waiting all match to get back at me, and I knew you were. Waiting for the goal that never came (even with Fergie Time [Rights Reserved]). Hahahahahaha. You couldn’t leave fast enough! You left tyre marks in the pub! I sincerely hope City win the league and silence the swarm of United fanboys, once and for all.
Only the most wrecked of minds will lash out like the raving lunatic you were yesterday. I suggest you have a good think about that and try to change it. Not only did you throw a pint over me, hoping to get a bad reaction (when all you got was embarrassment and a laugh in your face), but you actually threatened to bottle me. You would bottle another person because the team you support went 1-0 down? That wasn't the worst of it though… you even managed to embarrass yourself further (a difficult proposition given what you had already done) by denying that you threw a pint over me, claiming it slipped on my head. Within 5 minutes you had already contradicted that story and admitted you did it on purpose (which was obvious) and then you went back to the ridiculous "slipped" fantasy. Finally, you told me that I got the pint thrown over me because I was closest to you. How stupid do you think people are? Clearly, you believe everyone is as stupid and gutless as you. Whilst other people may be inclined to forget this, so you can ride off into the sunset like Tonto- I won't. I am placing this up on Facebook, so that everyone can know what you did, Daniel Miller. And so they know why.
There are people who can support a team without being an idiot. You are not one of them. Marc Sunderland sat down quiet during the entire game and gave valid, reasonable opinions on the game, despite his passion for United. Learn to do the same.
It is best you don't reply to this, since you would be wasting your time. I have said all that I intend to.
