Right first off I don't hate anybody in this kind of context. Hate is a strong word isn't it? The Nazi's hated the Jews, the infirm, Romanys and so on, thats hate isn't it? Anyway I get what you mean, I'd say I dislike some manyounighted fans, but then no more or less than supporters of all the big clubs, some of the liverpool fans for example were exactly the same in the 70's and 80's. I just think that if they want to be gobshe-ites, let 'em why should I worry or let it get to me?
When did I cease to care one way or another about them, in the same way I couldn't care less what arsenal, chelsea or any of them "big" clubs do? Well towards the end of 1998/99 season we were struggling big time, looked like dropping. We were losing and a "we hate manyou" chant went up, and I thought yeah that makes everything better, we're being embarrassingly crap and all you can think of singing is that, which is an embarrassment. Later Mrs S said to me who cares what manyou do, its about us, so we made if you will a pact with the devil. They can win whatever this season, who cares as long as we survive.
The rest is history, and we did, and they won 3?? cups. I was responsible for them winning the European Cup, cos when Bayern scored I celebrated, my better half did say I'd regret breaking my promise, and I did with seconds to go!
So thats it I don't hate, just couldn't care less about 'em.
