Not at all. I simply said that United fans that have never ince been to Old Trafford irritate me. Sorry if that offends you. I know that you will take particular umbridge to my comments on this thread given who you support. I shan't lose any sleep over it though.


Alan Medic. Apologies for not acknowledging your post. I know a couple of United suporters that are adamant it shouldn't be used. Horses for courses.

Ahh right. I'm with you now. Someone starts a thread about United fans in Dulwich, then someone else questions why all these Londoners support out of town teams with no connection to them. I make a comment and I'm the big bad wolf. Fair enough.


Tell me Atticus, were you one of those bitter blues who were pleased you lost on Sunday as it edged United ever closer to United? Must have been a tough decision given how close you are to catching us.

So it was deeply offensive to United fans but now it's just a couple you happen to have met. What have horses for courses got to do with anything in this context?


I work with a kid originally from Africa now living in London. He put on his facebook page that seeing United for the first time (at Wembley) was the greatest moment of his life. He's United crazy but he's never been to OT. Can't afford it. His girlfriend is about to have his baby. Funnily enough he said that in Zimbabwe he was the odd one out as most people support Liverpool. Not sure how many have ever seen Liverpool play. At least he has been to 1 game.I'll let him know how irritated you are by him.

I think Annasfield was reffering to Londoners and Southerners who claim to worship Man U and haven't been to OT medic not your african kid.


I agree with her 100% but I like Anna am a supporteer of my team not a fan, and you may hate it and think it's irrational, but supporters know who is and who ain't fairly quickly. I think it probably bothers me less than Anna, but I absolutely recognise the difference.

I see where you are coming from Anna and quids, I'm lucky to make 3 games a season due to cost (home cost us around ?1000 ! But we do make the most of it) even a game like Chelsea away is ?100 at least.

I watch most City games in our MCFC adopted pub but can say I was a Maine Road ST holder from 4 to 13 years old but we moved to Leicester so wasn't feasible to maintain a ST.

I have, personally, transformed the way London Blues get to watch games together in London thugh. Curly Watts will be with us on Sunday when we, sadly, relegate West Ham.

Sorry Irons :(

BR - It's not number of games...i've not been once this season for a host of reasons, it's something else...you're a supporter.


I had a season ticket for 20 years, I first went in 1971, I went home and away most weeks in my 20s, my great uncles jumped over the gates at Wembley for the 1923 Final, i've spent ?1000s and ruined relationships on the irons. I've been chaised, beaten up and knicked follwing them and been scared shitless on dark mid-week nights in, excuse me, northern shitholes and not got back home until 3am. I'm a supporter, always will be.


Draw with you and wins in the other 3 and we're safe :-S

She didn't exactly say that ????'s but if that's what she meant I'd find that mildly irritating. But that's all. Same as I would with anyone pretending to be something they're not. I think the most annoying one's are the one's who don't seem to realise how shallow they appear.

I think all references to the F word should be banned outside of the main season. The Metro and the Evening Substandard used to be especially annoying - you'd have all sorts of major sporting events going on and their back page headline was along the lines of "Viera: I Rather Like Broccoli" or something similarly useless.

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      By snowy · Posted

      I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Sue · Posted

      This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't understand this, probably my fault. I thought the Crown offices were going to close completely and the  services they provided were going to be moved to local shops with space for a sub post office. But if the Post Office is  seeking franchisees for the Crown offices, that implies that the offices themselves would stay. But if they are not profitable for the Post Office, how could they become profitable for a franchisee?
