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
anyone else smell hypocricy in the air with the gramma police sh*te?
DIP's English is perfect, what are you on about? :D
'however' rather than 'whoever'

Sarcasm not on the radar I see :cheeky:

Don't worry mate, you're spot on. The fact DIP responded with that picture shows he had nothing valid to respond with.

“The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.”

There was a rumour that when Sheringham signed for Utd he referred to the team as "Man (U)" in an interview. Afterwards, he received a dressing down by Fergie. Not sure if that rumour was actually totally accurate.

Good post Treb, never really thought about it that way, to me it means nothing and just a shortend term but I can understand why it may affect some people.

I still belive though that it should now be used without anyone taking offence to it though. What happened was a very long time ago.

but a lot of things happened a very long time ago which affects and upsets people today.

everyone now know the reason behind, and it now falls into it's a matter of respect (over ignorance); those who respect others won't use it, those who don't respect others will.

obviously, otherwise they (or the producer who uses it) wouldn't use that particular acronym.

Or it could be a hater, as per the Old Trafford H&S crap about standing in in the stadium a few years ago. Came from a H&S officer who was a city supporter. amazing that...
