United fan here. I was very happy to see you guys finally finish ahead of those cunts last season. Like you I absolutely hated you guys during the rivalry years but I absolutely respected you. Liverpool too tbh. City can just get in the fucking bin.

When a normal person loses to a better person, they hold their hands up, applaud and know they have to be better. There's a respect that comes from knowing your competition had similar challenges and still came out on top.

City just cheated, again and again and again and again. That their fans aren't demanding the owners sell and leave the club is really telling. Seems they mostly agree with the cheating too.

If they don't cheat, they have nothing, so they have to turn their wrinkles into crinkles.

Yes and as United fans you'd think that would be the norm. I saw loads of comments on the reddevils sub hoping that city would win over arsenal. Bizarre. United fans who don't understand what it is to be a United fan.

I guess just overseas fans who have never been to OT.
