I remember Liverpool jumping on the bandwagon of anti England, the lads who I knew I'd been away with England with and I just felt they tried their best to almost compete with united at the time (which is a natural thing for them anyway) but before you knew it there was flags up saying scouse not English etc and I just couldn't really accept their views on it as to me it was a way of keeping up with the Jones's so to speak, silly excuses like how Terry and co were doing their best to get Gerrard to join Chelsea and why should they follow England with them playing I just didn't buy it, I remember fans booing man utd players at England games so I can accept some of their decisions, not saying I agree with it but I'm also a big believer in getting behind them no matter what and as times gone on it's too easy for some to just boo the players when we havnt had a great game, and if people have not worked out how to play Rooney then they are as thick as him, yes he's a cunt but give him the support and he will reward you, act like a lot of modern day England supporters and he won't give a stuff.
Quote by STEVECFCI watched England on a regular basis , when I stayed in London , and really can't recall Neville's getting much stick - SCAPEGOAT - as you seem to claim . For Beckham his petchulant kick out which saw him get red , the treatment he recieved was absolutely disgusting - I cheered the day he scored against Greece , had no part ever in vile treatment he got . The ' real ' England fans I meet / stood by / ran with , would only turn on a player for a shit performance , the usual stick any player gets for club or country .. Both Cole and Lampard have recieved a lot of bad treatment in England games I've seen , doesn't make me feel England fans are anti Chelsea ... the 70% you claim stood up and sang Hate Man U , probably hate Man Utd for the same reason most fans stand up and sing that song - same way we hated Cantona for his kung foo kick on a fan , Ferdinand refusing drugs test , Rooney for having dollar sings in his eyes rather than the passion for the club that put him right up there , on and on ....
I hate Utd with a passion , always have , and always will , could be a jealousy thing cause of such a massive success , could be the fact I always found an arrogance with Utd and the players ... I'm not a blinkered fan , biased or otherwise .. I recognise Ferguson as probably greatest manager of all time ...
I can never get my head around Chelsea fans hating United so much, it doesn't add up. You have never been and never will be our rivals. Even West Ham register bigger on our radar than Chelsea so it really is bizarre where this perceived rivalry by some of your lot comes from.

I'm not getting upset about anything, Rooney is most definitely a cunt like the majority of modern-day footballers, I just want him to do well for United and couldn't give a shit about what he does in an England shirt. But it is ironic how the FA are now shitting themselves about the length of Rooneys ban because it affects them directly, if the ban was to do with him playing in a United shirt the FA wouldn't be arsed and would probably want a ten game ban.
Quote by fwdcpA mate done this for a United fanzine and is spot on.
Great piece from Red Army.co.uk In April this year Wayne Rooney received a ban for having the cheek to show passion about scoring a hat trick after being two – nil down. He received a two match ban for swearing and consequently missed the F.A.Cup semi final against City. As a Manchester United fan it was amusing to watch the bandwagon unfold, ex players, politicians, managers, pundits people from all walks of life suddenly reveal that they are offended by swearing on a football field. It gathers momentum – people calling for six month bans and point deductions. Anything to give their team an advantage against Manchester United, anything to disrupt the best player in the Premier League.
In football swearing is rife from grass roots to senior pros. Its always been that way, yet all of a sudden people believe that Rooney’s outburst was the first time their precious ears had been offended by such language. I guarantee that every ex-professional who slammed Rooney for his outburst has shouted uglier swear words on a football field that have been picked up on camera. I’ve watched the live streaming of the houses of parliament - it so abusive and obscene that you would have thought someone spilt caviar down their shirt. Lastly, parents, if you think that your little boy does not swear in the playground, on a football pitch or with his friends, If you think that the culture of on-line gaming and internet trawling does not entail someone swearing down a camera at them, then you are so far detached from reality that the F.A. may be sending you an application form.
I’m not saying that it is right, nor am I condoning it, however EVERYBODY involved in football swears, that is why this event last season in all my time watching football was the most gut-sickening passage of hypocrisy that I had ever seen. Until now….. Last week England played an international against Montenegro and mid-way through the second half Wayne Rooney was sent off for kicking out at an opponent. After the red card Rooney apologised and walked off the field without showing any dissent. This red card could result in anything between a one and four match ban. However with England’s next competitive matches after the last qualifier being the group stages at the European championships, the F.A. are concerned that England might already be out of the competition before Wayne Rooney is allowed to play again.
The holier than though Football Association came out after the game stating that they would make an appeal to UEFA in the event that the England striker would receive more than a one-match ban. A spokesman for the F.A. claimed they would appeal on the grounds that he apologised straight afterwards and that the referee commended his acceptance of the dismissal. There are some similarities hear, because back in April Manchester United made an appeal against a two match ban on the same basis that Rooney was remorseful and apologised. However Trevor Brooking had this to say: “The powers that be have got to sit down and say ‘look, to help everyone you’ve got to get a consistency, for the referee so they know whatever decision they take there is going to be a general support from the different bodies that are represented’,” he added. Therefore in the words of a Football Association member, nobody should interfere with decisions that are made and that their body – the F.A. – would back any action taken by the referee. The F.A. director of communications Adrian Bevington said that an appeal is: “something we will have to consider” and goes on to say: “We obviously have our own legal people looking through the regulations and we are fully up to speed as to where we stand with that.”
If the F.A. are fully up to speed then surely they know that you cannot appeal and get a reduction in the suspension, after all they said that under no uncertain terms should they overrule a referee last April. And, if their legal people can find a loop hole to do this – why was this not considered six months ago when Rooney’s ban was appealed by Manchester United? Are the F.A. trying to portray that kicking someone on the field is less of a crime than swearing? The F.A’s hypocrisy has been well and truly ousted this week and they have shown that if it is Manchester United they are willing to give the maximum punishment possible for a made-up-on-the-spot charge for Rooney, however, THE oldest and THE original sending-off offence of kicking another player somehow does not apply to The F.A. and England on this occasion, despite it being the same player. Same player, same colour card shown by the referee, but a rule about swearing that the F.A. created on April 5th 2011 just for Wayne Rooney and for Manchester United supersedes a UEFA rule that is over 1oo years old.
I love Wayne Rooney – he is my idol. However I hope that UEFA give him the maximum ban possible because for all those hypocrites at the F.A. who believed swearing was worth a two match ban – your comeuppance has arrived – your star player will not feature at the European Championships and any appeal will be dismissed just like every Manchester United appeal to you down the years. I remember Italia ’90. I remember the Gazza posters on my wall. I remember playing football in my back garden and shouting ‘Lineker’ when I scored. I shed a tear with Stuart Pearce. I remember three Lions on a shirt, I remember football coming home. Then one day the F.A. pulled the carpet from under me and proved to me what a cynical, jealous, tyrannical corporation is running this country’s football. Manchester is my country now; and I’m am content in the fact that I have seen them become world champions twice. So this is what it feels like dear Football Association when the shoe is on the other foot. I hope the bully becomes the bully victim, I hope the oppressor becomes the oppressed, because after your smug antics towards the team that has provided you with all your stars over the years, after Eric Cantona’s ban, after Rio Ferdinand’s ban, after saying we cant play in the F.A. cup in 2000 because of your little World Cup bid, after Patrice Evra’s ban, Rooney’s ban, the Sir Alex Ferguson witch hunt. After David Beckham in 1998 and Rooney in 2006, Gary Neville celebrating and your amusement in England fans singing anti-United songs; I have waited a long, long time to see this bullet fly.
Ha Ha. "I rremember three lions on the shirt, i remember football coming home". I'm glad the twat does'nt follow england anymore. Hopefully all the other jester hat wearing wankers fuck off and do one aswell. "Manchester is my country now" What a fucking bell end.
