@DanLang12 I’ve never really understood the enormous chip Newcastle fans have on their shoulder when it comes to United. It fascinated me when I moved to Northumberland from Manchester as a kid and it seems to have got even bigger since. Such a one-directional rivalry.

@Daniel_Correa89 @sazamu11 Si, viví unos años en España y decidía muy pronto que mejor no intentar tener ningún interacción con la policía ahí después de ver cómo trataron a mujeres en una manifestación. Tienen un “power trip” como dices tú.

@tomcroxx @sazamu11 Totalmente de acuerdo, pero tratan como a animales a todos, a los seguidores españoles los primeros, los UIP son basura con aires de grandeza q lo único que generan es peligro a la gente q está disfrutando de su equipo. Cargas a caballo, porrazos, lases lacrimogenos, empujones…

@Daniel_Correa89 @sazamu11 Mientras que, desgraciadamente, cada vez que seguidores ingleses van a España están tratado como animales por la policía y los periodistas escriben como miles de “hooligans” ingleses vienen así que ten cuidado.

@sazamu11 En absolutamente todo, simplemente por no tratarte como a un delincuente y si como a un aficionado que se deja su dinero tiempo y vida en viajar lejos de su casa con su equipo, ya está todo dicho. Intenta hacerte una foto con los UIP aquí en España…

@hisprex 100% correcto. La cantidad de posts anti-inglés que veo aquí desde cuentas españolas siempre me parece increíble. Es como ver la rabia de los seguidores de Newcastle odiando a Manchester United. Es algo unidireccional como dices tú.

Inglaterra y Francia no piensan en nosotros desde el año 1800. Porque desde entonces somos insignificantes en comparación a ellos. La rivalidad entre España y Francia/Inglaterra es unidireccional, como la de Portugal con España.

@HLTCO @RhysCarefree It’s a tricky one..I feel like some of the backlash against the fans imitating this style behind the goal at the Emirates and Selhurst Park is that it looks a bit lame and not English in style. But equally it feels a bit silly to criticise people trying to improve the atmosphere.

@RhysCarefree I agree with you completely on the ticket price point, I just don’t happen to share the perspective that what PSG do makes them freaks. I’m not saying that English fans “can’t” make an atmosphere, I’m saying that there are problems in doing so in the PL.

Premier league clubs never struggled to create atmosphere in the past and have never done any of this performative stuff. Getting in a pub with a load of fans generates the same atmosphere, just not for cameras. Atmospheres are struggling now because of ticket prices which price out working class fans and owners who would rather tourists in the ground because they’ll spend money in the club shop. Simple as that
HLTCO@HLTCO

People moan endlessly (me included) about the general deterioration of atmospheres at Premier League clubs but will see clips like this and say it’s shit and that the fans doing it are freaks. They’re showing support for their club, that should be applauded.

@afcjxmes United have less direct rivals? United have so many teams in the league that view the game against them as the biggest of the season if you asked their fans. Two of these are one-sided rivalries, but off the top of my head: Leeds, Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Newcastle at least.

It’s because: a) We’re rivals with all of the big 6 for different reasons (Spurs/Chelsea = local; City/Pool = title; United = Fergie vs Wenger). b) This generation grew up with us as whipping boys, now we’re on top it’s annoying. United get similar but have less direct rivals.

@DPanaderos56705 Quien pensaba que sería guay tener una grada donde hay que vestirse totalmente en blanco. No me lo pude creer la primera vez que lo vi. Imagínate la reacción de los seguidores del United en Stratford End, Old Trafford, si les hubiera recomendado que vayan así. Nunca lo harían.

Esto es la ridicula y vergonzosa grada fans . En vez de animar se ponen con las putas linternas como si fuese un concierto . Muchos ya se dan cuanta que estorban en ese fondo ,poco a poco y volveran los que nunca deberian haberse ido.

He’s a dunce but the argument that there’s such a thing as “Asian culture” or “yellow culture” in any meaningful sense is a powerful counter argument to your equally dunce view. The Japanese would never consider themselves part of same culture as Chinese. None of this is relevant
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo

This dunce is trying to argue that "Asian culture" doesn't exist because modern Japan doesn't celebrate Lunar New Year. But if he had summoned the brainpower for a ChatGPT query, he'd have learned that Japan celebrated Lunar New Year until 1873, when the Meiji government deliberately abandoned it in favor of the Western model. Prior to that, the Japanese had used the lunar calendar, which they inherited from China via the Korean Peninsula, for more than 1,200 years. Which, of course, only further confirms my original point.

@TonyLaneNV Yes, London has fallen. Don’t come here. I’ve lived here for about 15 years now and I get robbed and beaten daily seconds after leaving the house. I’ve taken to just going out naked now so there’s nothing to steal. Stay in the US where it’s super safe.

A guy said he touched down in London for five hours and already got his chain snatched and rocked in the face. 😳 Traveling with flashy jewelry is becoming a liability these days — especially overseas. People are getting bold out there. Anyone here been to London? Was it this wild when you went, or is the city on a whole new level now? Thoughts? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@jonnorris12 I saw a clip of this guy in Rome (I think) telling an African guy that “this is Europe - my continent” and alluding to the fact he doesn’t belong there. A white South African guy. The irony was completely lost on him, of course.

The Yorkshire author John Braine (famous for his novel 'Room at the Top'), recalls his first visit to Newcastle in 1954, and how the nobility of the city's architecture helped remind him that "man is made in the image of God." But he wasn't pleased by what had happened since ...

It does feel like in the last few years Liverpool’s transfer policy has involved signing players that stretch the scouse vocal range: - van Dijk - Gakpo - Szoboszlai - Gravenberch - Wirtz I’m sure there are probably a few other factors, but this seems to be the dominant one.

@SebSB That’ll be easier in scouse anyway.

@talkSPORT Liverpool might be more successful club right now, but surely non of their supporters truly think they’re bigger. United have always been the more globally famous, more talked about club. That was even true in the late 70s and 80s when Liverpool were winning everything.

@AndyMitten @Ankaman616 I really enjoyed it, Andy. I remember watching the game as a boy and going to the parade in Sale the next day. There’s so much nostalgia around that game. Also, as somebody (like you) who has lived in Barcelona, I’m interested in the big “Independencia” banner in the Barça end.

Thanks for all your messages on the '1991: Rotterdam Revisited' documentary. So many of your stories and memories. And we still have loads of other recorded material. One Barça player messaged to joke: 'clear offside goal'. Anyway, it's out now and free to view on Youtube below

@Carra23 You can’t deny the numbers, it’s true. But deep down all Liverpool fans know that United are the bigger, more famous, and more talked about club. That was even true in the late 70s / 80s when Liverpool were winning everything and United were nowhere. Nothing has changed.
