mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 There is nothing irrational On the odd occasion I have lowered my standards to speak to one of them, I usually find i hate them within 30 seconds They are just a species apart. The only irrational aspect is if as a Wednesday fan you actually count one of them as a friend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleadless Owl Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 They hate us more than they love their own team. Will never get my head round that. Leeds are the same with Man U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pook Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I've seen my share of English footy as a neutral. Whenever I go to a new ground, I try to arrive a bit early, and usually pop into a pub close to the ground. More often than not, I'll end up having a conversation with one or more home supporters. I've done so at countless clubs about whom I'm essentially indifferent, and more than a few times at clubs for whom I have marked distaste. But even then, I tend to speak with folks, and it goes well enough. The sole exception is the one time that I went to Bramall Lane (v Donny Rovers in League 1) whilst in Sheffield. I popped into (I think) the Cricketers Arms right there at the ground, ordered a pint ... and for some reason - and I remember how odd it seemed - I just wanted out. I didn't speak with anyone - avoided it, actually - necked my beer, and left. I just walked around the neighborhood until kickoff. It'd be silly to put it on them, as no one did anything specifically to put me off. But being in there just felt wrong. I've been plenty of places that should've felt far 'wronger'; but that was the only time that's happened. It was weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The looks from the locals were something else. Safe to say, it was a quick drink. The football that night wasn't much better as City completed a comprehensive double over us with a 4-0 gubbing 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billysboy Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Quote I remember mum and dad rowing after my dad said words along the lines of “I hate them bastards more than hitler” mum said “don’t talk stupid bill, they bombed my mums house when I was little, he was a vile evil man” to which he replied “yes but I don’t have to work with that twat everyday” true story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
