jelous suhayl? haha

and on southern United fans if they love the club no matter what and sing when they come to Old Trafford i dont mind at all, in a ideal world i’d like it to be just Mancunians but ive met loads of top reds from that are irish and a few blackpool reds who are top blokes aswell so i dont really mind because ALL clubs have out of town supporters, but i dont like the posh southern idiots who turn up with there camera’s and are all ‘ i love ronaldo and watch man u glory glory’ and all that shit. I dont really see any arsenal fans up north to be honest i see a very small amount of chelsea shirts but its only ever been young kids wearing them so maybe they’ll grow out of it. its United mostly and then city and liverpool are the clubs that people support round here.

There’s much more migration from the North to London.

Fair enuff mate and yeah I’m a bloke
Do you ever get Manc Gooners or Chelsea fans up there? In London, as I’m sure you know, there are loads of people who were born here yet support Liverpool or United, I even know one United season ticket holder who drives up from London for the home games!!!I find that strange!!! Do Manc United fans accept Southern fans or does it piss you off?

yeh it would, I hate ALL liverpool and leeds fans doesnt matter to me if their a hooligan or not i generally hate them all due to the amount of munich chants they sing and the rivalrys of the citys, i know its stupid to generalise a whole set of people over chants etc but i have to say even outside of football any scousers or yorkshire folk ive ever seen have been scum, i just dont like any of them.

city fans though it depends some are alright but others give it the whole munich shit, but i tend to get on with a few Mancunian city fans being a Manc myself but soon as derby day comes around thats out of the window aswell but i know my views are quite small minded because its like ive had arguements with arsenal fans on this site yet you seem a decent fella (im just assuming you are a fella so if not im sorry) and we’ve had a civilised conversation, but when it comes to liverpool/leeds fans i dont ever make any attempt at a friendship.

I don’t support the violence but I have to say the extra edge generated but a hardcore support between two sets of fans is more of a buzz when you go to a game. I mean the difference between going to Arsenal Spurs or against Wigan for example is massive and I’m sure its the same with you lot against City, Leeds or Liverpool.
Quick question Red, would your hatred of the sides you mentioned prevent you from having any kind of friendship with a non hooligan fan from any of those sides?

I guess yYou all remember what Keane said about the fans back in 2000, and what Fergie said last year… I’m not supporting football riots at all, I just think that the problem could be solved in another way.

very fucked up, Well ive learnt something new about the serbs then!
I wouldnt ever consider myself to be a proper member of the firm i was only into it all in the late 80s/ 90′s so i missed out on the proper riots that used to go on. I was/still am a bit of a part time hooligan really it was only the likes of city,liverpool leeds and newcastle. And i can see what you mean about the hools being nice guys because a few of the lads down at the pub were i go pre-match would consider themselves as more ‘hardcore’ hools and there generally sound guys but when it comes to football they just flipped and you see a different side to them. I think it just depends what you want to get out of football, some go purely for football others go for the banter and rivalrys.

I dont ever really remember any Manchester firms influencing anything around town but i wasnt really in the know, i remember something kicking off in the hacienda one night but cant say i know much more it was always kicking off in the hacienda anyway it was a mad house .

I still wear the casual all black to matches though, fucking dangerous

Yeah I know the Serbs are passionate, I remember reading it somewhere about that the top boy in a firm would humiliate either the equivalant in a rival firm by ass fucking him!!!! If true that’s pretty fucked up eh?
Yeah I know the firms still exist, last Arsenal Spurs I went to there was a strong Spurs firm up and down the Holloway road and fights all over the place. I’ve never been one for violence but I can see how people get addicted to the adrenaline of it. Also have known a few hooligans in my time and on a day to day level they have been pretty placid, nice guys, but come the weekend they are a different animal.
The ICF used to be pretty influential down here and were actually behind a lot of the acid house raves that went on. As for atmosphere, I reckon standing room being reintroduced would help. Sitting down doesn’t encourage people singing in my opinion. So did you have a few rows back in the day then?

I can only answer for the hooliganism when it comes to fighting with city and liverpool, i think that was very much football realated due to liverpool being sucessfull in the past and the fact they got us banned from europe and had standing taken away, but also just a chance to act a thug basically with city it was who got bragging rights of Manchester and with liverpool, i cant express to you how much i hate scousers i hate the self pity city that is liverpool and same goes for leeds and yorkshire. Derby day aggro comes about for all teams its about who runs the city your from really, even today there’s always fights even with arsenal vs spurs even if you dont notice it firms are still about its just more on the low and to a less extent than it used to be, but with other teams i wouldnt have the hatred to fight them, its not the fights i miss its the atmosphere that there used to be.

and are you being serious about the serbian hooligans?! Red star Belgrade if you havent ever seen their fans just look them up on youtube, loudest set of fans ive seen maybe the most gay aswell if your serious about what you said lol.
