Why do man utd hate england

In fact, for football fans, it might just be one of the biggest rivalries in modern life, giving "cats vs. So why do fans from the two cities located 30 miles apart hate each other so much more than a number of local derby opponents? The origins of the rivalry go back to the 19th century, and they have nothing to do with the football field During the Industrial Revolution of the early 19th century, Manchester and Liverpool were both thriving economically.

Manchester was known as "Cottonopolis" due to its abundance of textile factories this is why Utd's kit had a gingham print last season. Liverpool, on the other hand, benefited from being a port city, with vast quantities of goods flowing in and out of its docks. Toward the end of that prosperous century, however, the Manchester Ship Canal was completed. This meant ships no longer had to dock in Liverpool—they could carry on up the Mersey all the way to Manchester via canal.

This trade route is why Utd and City both have ships on their crests, and it caused vast great resentment from the people of Liverpool, who lost potential income and jobs when the ships no longer stopped at the docks.

So, why don't Liverpool fans begrudge City supporters too? And why don't Utd fans hold a grudge against Everton? Whilst the anti-England songs definitely get a more passionate airing against small time clubs, who easily get wound up by them, there's virtually never a game to go by without one chant directed towards the national team.

For many non-Mancunians, it's puzzling as to why such a rivalry exists, especially as more England caps have been given to players from United than any other club.

You could write a whole book about the two-way hatred, however the most obvious examples include the whole of Wembley Stadium singing "Stand-Up If You Hate Man U' on regular occasions, despite England's best players being United stars. This song was sang louder than ever when England played at Old Trafford and, worse still, in , when seven reds played in the same England team against Albania.

The singing didn't stop even after both Scholesy and Andy Cole scored. Even those Little Inger-lund-ers who, after booing the opponent's national anthem, worship the likes of Rooney and Beckham when playing in white, are the first to abuse them passionately when they wear the red of United.

Beckham even received death threats from England supporters after being sent off against Argentina, whilst United fans stood by him.

Likewise, Cristiano Ronaldo, who twice broke English hearts to the delight of non-patriotic reds, received a similar fate. Then of course there was Captain Marvel, Bryan Robson, who seemed to pick up a major injury every time he played for England. Maybe as a result, European away trips are usually a far cry from those endured by Ing-er-lund's often racist, jingoistic hooligans often wrapped in their Stoke, Leeds, Millwall, West Ham, Bolton, Stockport or Man City flags.

Chants of 'Argentina! That's certainly true in the red parts of Manchester! We've had this abuse before playing for England, but over the last year it's got worse! World Champions tw-iiice! Once more than England, World Champions twice! First sang in support of David Beckham the season following his sending off in the England v Argentina World Cup match, which England went on to lose in a penalty shoot-out.

Whilst sang at almost every game since, the song also became an anthem for Argentinan reds, Juan Sebastian Veron , Gabriel Heinze and Carlos Tevez Originally the song was 'That boy Ronaldo makes Beckham look shite', after he inherited Beck's famous number 7 shirt in This didn't sit well with most United fans and was quickly changed a few months later when his penalty helped knock England out of the European Championship Finals.

The song received a more passionate airing when Ronaldo received death threats from England fans, after his winning penalty also knocked England out of the World Cup Finals.

United are better than England! We all agree Heskey For England! Heskey For Eng-land! Seriously, people have died waiting for Utd games to finish, the only reason ticket prices are so high at Old Trafford is that you are guaranteed 15 minutes extra football every game. Unless they are winning of course, in which the whistle is usually blown around the 87th minute mark.

The only Utd merchandise i have ever bought is Manchester Utd official toilet paper I will give one example of why I hate the Manchester Utd merchandise machine.

I live in Thailand, where they have a strong love of their King. People purchase yellow polo shirts with the Kings crest to show their love. I was looking at one such polo shirt in a shop a while back. The shirt was indistinguishable from all over polo shirts apart from one small detail.

The label read an official Manchester United product Its common nowadays for teams to have a few different strips, however it was Utd I think who first had the idea of a European away fourth choice reserve goalkeeping commemorative left sock, only to be used when playing teams from the Balkan states idea, in order to cash in with gullible fans. Look for it on Ebay, its right next to the Wayne Rooney hairgrow products and Gary Neville's razors, the ones that don't quite manage to shave of your stupid rat tash.

I once saw the Neville brothers kick a player to the ground in the penalty box and repeatedly punch the man in the face. He was booked for diving. Okay, okay, I may be exaggerating a little, but you have to admit that referees get very nervous and seem to forget how to make decisions when near the penalty area at Old Trafford.

All rights reserved. We've had this abuse before playing for England, but over the last year it's got worse!. We list 10 reasons why this is possibly the case: 1. England fans barrack the United players, especially the country's best player, David Beckham.
