im still confused how does the phrase Man.u releate to the munich air disaster?
Lyrics to a song on the disaster.

It was added to the word filter because it caused a big argument once.

Personally I think people just use it as an excuse to hate but each to their own.

tbh seems like some fans can dish it out but cant handle it when it comes to them.....especially the case with arsenal (cesc) and united fans

th munich and man-u link is just stupid, however finds that offensive needs to get out in the real world

I don't think anyone on here finds it offensive as when most people say it it is not with the intetion to offend. However, its origin is offensive so stop being so ignorant DIP.

Sorry to sound a dip (sh*t) but can you break the meaning down for me and explain in laymans terms... i still didnt understand your explanation :unsure:

Man Utd is not a term United fans refer to themselves as. The term is only used by other supporters as a complete and utter insult to our club. The u is meant to be you; by the rival fans.

An early example of its usage is this chant by West Brom fans ;Duncan Edwards is Man Utd, rotting in his grave, man you are manure- rotting in your grave. The origin of ;Man Utd is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards.


Utd = U
