There will always be rivalry, yet when Tevez and Mascherano come up against each other, they don't hate each other, they just remain professional. The years of folk only supporting their local team is over. I grew to support United through certain circumstances and I am loyal as well as passionate about how my club is run and how the team perform. News travels too quickly these days, that is a problem!

In the Vieira days they might have hated Arsenal but I know Anderson's friendly with parts of the Brazilian contingent and there generally isn't that much animosity between players.

City will never be as big as united... doesnt matter how much they throw at it... they just do not have the glamour, the magical element what united has... even the brazilian Ronaldo when he scored the hat trick at OT and got a standing ovation... said he had goose bumps from our atmosphere and stadium... that pretty much says it all doesnt it.. Theatre of Dreams... it is... every time i go... which is a fair bit... i always get goosebumps walking down Busby Way.. its not just the ground... its the smell, the noise, the aniticpation.. its just everything combined which makes united special... city dont have that.. they have a grey stadium... even greyer fans.. and it big dock off stupid "explosion" that looks like a giant rusty conker and afacing ASDA... not very glamourous is it... And what history do they have... coz they defo aint wrote any in 33 years... and nothing exciting to say about them.. United create history... every year.. every decade. We are Manchester... There might be 2 teams in Manchester.. but there is only 1 real football club.. Coz... We are united the cock o the north... we hate the scousers and cockneys of course........... and leeeeeeeeeeds.... We are united without any doubt... WE ARE THE MANCHESTER BOYS.. Glad to see India has got some common sense and supports united.. keep up the good work lads.

Best thing the blue half have ever done for us, but it does mean that Giggsy's comments aren't necessarily representative of the views of dyed-in-the-wool United fans. My take on the City situation is that I hope they fail horribly in the long run, but that Mark Hughes "does well under difficult circumstances" and emerges with his reputation enhanced...I still would love to see him as a future United manager.

Though, on match day, at the game, it's a lot easier. Most football supporters in Manchester would generally be Red or Blue, sometimes in the same family Red or Bue. Reds go to work with Blues and they drink together. During a football match, there will always be some sort of hate but before and after the games it's always banter, unless something really serious has happened then the hate will last a little longer. Michael Ball for example. What would I know, I only travel to Manchester. I grew up and live in West London. My family are generally QPR, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea fans and in my first school everyone supported Liverpool, while I supported and grew to Love United.

Delhi? We should make an Indian MUFC club; we could organize viewings for games like MUST does...
