Mourinho OUT!!!!

ourmaninthenorth

I'm from Salford..where I was born you could see the floodlights from Old Trafford, why? cos it was the only place in Salford (even though Old Trafford has a Manchester postcode, We decided it was in Salford, and that as they say, was that ) that had any fookin lights on...we were that poor that....etc etc etc......

Some fans will always find reasons to lord it over other fans. Proximity to the ground, frequency of visits.. Everyone’s fan experience and reason for affiliation to a club is different. Live and let live, I say..

All fans will will find reasons to lord it over other fans... that’s the whole point of fans 

I just get on with supporting my own team.

There is a Camden Town FC youth team but they're just little kids and that team didn't even exist when I was growing up so they don't count.

So there.

Wait...is this no longer a Mourinho out thread anymore

For the record and as a neutral (Bolton Wanderers fan) I've met just as many Man Utd fans as Man City fans from the Greater Manchester (that's South Lancashire) area. I think the area where you are from and who your parents support are the 2 most important factors in selecting a team. 
Personally, I'd sooner go watching the local non league team than watch a load of big time charlies play 20-30 (or even 200) miles away.

We are all talking about ourselves, so in a sense it is a very Mourinho thread

Now THAT I can wiz! 

£50-70 to watch a top premier team and be a faceless punter treated like cattle or £4-5 to go and watch Marske United (who I have a loose affinity with), chat to the players over a pint after a cracking 5-4, and go where I want during the game, beer in hand. 

Parking is somewhat easier too!

We'll all be demanding respect next.

that's why I now normally go to house concerts, instead of Arena gigs

I think the occasional visit to see a world class artist or team is worth it occasionally, even for £50. Not for £150 though

Blooming heck, Marske United! You from that area @Legionreturns , nice place around there, was a nice break from the monotony of Boro and pretty close on the train or by car. Love all that coastline from Redcar down, even South Gare was alreet to be fair an all. 

I agree with your sentiments, the odd time I'm home I like to see the non league team local to where I live which is Coalville United. Entertaining and easy/cheap too. Although I may have to switch affinities as we've moved to another village with it's own non league side! I'll always be a Boro fan though, the reponse on here about Man U is only the same as the Boro fan sites get when we lose or draw, first game of the season all I read was Pulis out. It's early days and a big game tonight against Dirty Leeds, but we're top so far goal difference aside. Football fans get more fickle these days I think and everyone is a skypad expert an all. Pulis is a good match for us, and I'd be more than happy low to mid table in the Prem.

As for Utd, it's early days yet, but I think there are 2-3 teams ahead of you now, it will take a while to climb back up.

How ‘bout that Mourinho fella, eh?

@Boromedic no I'm not from there but have very good friends there. One of them is the fixture secretary for Marske and I try to get over there a few times a year. Lovely little club and having just won their league and been promoted, they are playing over a wider area this season so I should get a few away games in.

Cool, nice place to go and watch a game anyway!

More like Charlie Carolis these days I'm afraid.

Even ‘Fergie time’ couldn’t deny the mighty Rams. What a great game! : D

Cheers mate... If only I had done anything but shout a lot and keep my fingers crossed. I thought Man Utd were going to win it at the end. It was a great game and Harry Wilson’s free kick was astonishing. I worry for Jose. I really like the guy and remember his early Chelsea days with a lot of fondness. I think he needs to go and lie on a beach and enjoy his success because he looks unwell at the moment.  Man Utd boss is a massive job.
