Giggs won it,who cares move on please.

That's a myth propogated by jealous rivals.

Part myth - part truth.



There are plenty of Man Utd fans in Manchester & Salford, certainly as many as there are City fans.



However, of the 70,000 plus who watch live at Old Trafford, a good half are 'tourists' who travel from far and wide to watch them.....This is where the whole non-Mancunian thing stems from. (By the way, this is researched fact and a similar thing applies to Liverpool, thus the accusation that Everton are the true 'people's club' of the City of Liverpool...)

It's a myth I'm quite happy to perpetuate, one thing I can assure you I am most certainly not is jealous of Manchester United though.

Glad to hear it. I guess from your statement that you are neither a Liverpool or Manchester City supporter then?

nope - as much as I care about tossball I'm a Newcastle fan but would much rather watch a sport not played by overpaid primadonnas & run by people who would rather make a fast million profit than actually put anything back into the game.



Real football is played at a grassroots level these days, anything with the words "fully professional" in it can be ignored as out of touch & irrelevant IMO.

But yet Everton also have quite a lot of "tourists" who watch their games.......David Moyes has admitted that himself in an interview.

Maybe, but not as many as Liverpool & United.....There was a survey conducted not so long ago which had Liverpool and Man Utd as the highest percentage of long distance supporters for home matches, and Everton & Newcastle with the highest percetage of hometown followers (obviously the survey was done before Newcastle were relegated).

Hardly surprising is it given their success over the years.

As this thread is going down the glory hunter, people's club, blah blah blah route I should just point out that those of us from Warrington who support any club from Liverpool or Manchester may consider them our local clubs, there are A LOT of United fans from Manchester and Liverpool fans from Liverpool who consider us all a bunch of glory hunting out of towners. Trust me - I know!

giggs has performed at the top of his game for nearly two decades,he is a fine role model of what a professional sportsman should be.for many years he has done an enormous amount of charity work as well,he is a worthy recipient of this award.

Correct...

I dont go to Anfield anymore...too Expensive and the sport on the whole is crap , but one of the things I hated about the place most was the scousers....



when The new stadium plans were first shown to the fans I had the privelige of hearing a true scouse conversation in the bogs in the kop...

"an I tell youse when de do de new kop day should only sell tickets to fans wid a liverpool postcode.. no more day trippers or cockney reds"





I guess they dont reallise if they only allowed scousers in they could actually reduce the size of anfield by a fair bit and still have plenty of room to mince about...



and Ive plenty more experience of stuff like that
