why is it that the english like winners, but not major winners?

in america it seems that everybody supports for the underdog, except when it's vogue to support the winners (like the yankees and lakers, WHO LOST! whoohooo!) but the british seem to support the better teams, but why hate manyoo or arsenal?

i'm interested. and incoherent.

so if they like winners, but not major winners...surely these winners must be underdogs at some point?

Hate them? Jealousy, or just plain sense (in the case of scum united)

I thought this was about Michael Winner. Was thinking Calm down dear...

It's a good question though - I guess everybody hates the Manchester Scum because they're all *, and Alex Fergusson deserves a good shoeing, and everyone apart from peolpe with taste hates Arsenal because they're arrogant as *.

united are the best team and jealously makes people hate them because their teams lose to them.

agreed with morals that arsenal are the most arrogant * around and thats why everyone hates them. i think its more the fans i hate than the team though, although i do hate both.

United were still hated before they won anything largely cos they have always been a bunch of b*stards. i have nothing against arsenal but Wenger an Bergkamp are two of the most odious people ever to step foot on a football pitch. You always support the underdogs though cos its always funny seeing good sides lose (even better when it was madrid in europe an itv had already decided they had the trophy won).

No, Bloody Salford in Greater Manchester. The Salford where Paul Goals was created. The Salford I was created. Okay to be more exact I was born in Salford, but lived in Irlam. More a Surrey Boy of than Manchester Boy. Want it to stay like that as well

What do you mean, I didn't go "oh lets look for another Salford" I used to cycle through Salford every day on the way to work.

Yeah, ok you're still right though.

I think Neil Warnock is the subject me and Gaspode agree on most (except that we would both do anything in a skirt.) He is a cheating twat.

Neil Warnock is an arse, but that doesn't stop me wanting United to go up.

Good to know, thanks!
