Can You See The Real Me?

The Red Knights

Are a group of well heeled Man Utd supporters who are hoping to buy the club from the Glaizers for £1 Billion :eek:.
Are they an off shoot of the 70's comedy group The Barron Knights??

:wave: :confused:
 

The Red Knights

Don't know but I truely hope the Glaziers stay, there doing a fantastic job.
 

The Red Knights

As a club that took over from a silver haired parasite I'd back another group of fans trying to do the same.
 

The Red Knights

Yes but this is Man Utd, i'll back anything that sees them fail.
 

The Red Knights

Long live the Glaziers :bound:

Indeed :imwith::beer: Does any Bees fan S E R I O U S L Y give a monkey's handjob :owusu: about what happens to Man Utd? Sure, they'll be mourned in the clubs heartlands in Singapore and Bangkok :sueme: but for English fans - whatever :thetruth:

They aren't as bad as Chelskum. They have players that the majority of fans, even Liverpool and City fans, grudgingly respect (Giggs and Scholes). Chelskum have nobody like that. Chelskum are full of tossers (Terry, Drogba, Cashley, Lampard, Mikel, Ballack, Malouda). I'd rather United won it over Chelsea. It was great scenes when they won the CL here two years ago. I'd prefer Arsenal to be successful though.

This one will run and run. Marvellous entertainment.

Basically I believe they eptomise everything that is wrong with football, and it was their global branding that has left football in its current state.

I hate the fact that they charge season ticket holders automatically for every game.

I hate hearing moronic people who aren't from Manchester claiming they are united biggest fans, despite not having a clue about football. I'm fed up that every single Man Utd fan that I have met doesn't think Brentford are a proper club.

I dislike going to the pub and seeing Man utd fans chatting sh*te all game long, and then getting all upset when there not winning despite the fact most of them have never been to a game in their life.

I hate the fact for a good number of years only one penalty was given to away sides at Old Trafford.

I could go on.

Me too. I suppose living a similar distance from Old Trafford than I do from GP (back home) has mellowed my feeling towards them. The Man Utd fans I've met respect Brentford and acknowledge us as a proper club.

................................I can't think why Scholes should be respected at all, a very very nasty piece of work, dressed up in choirboy 'butter-wouldn't-melt' looks................................



I agree with your last sentence though

Living in Manchester I can only agree with the above.

Manchester United fans who live in Manchester are proper supporters same as any of us. It is the dickheads in London who misrepresent Manchester United.

That has been my experience. Liverpool fans on the other hand..............
 

The Red Knights

A Mancunian Man U fan and long term ST holder I know spent half an hour jumping round the room when they won the CL in 99 shouting "Yes, Yes, this is the best thing that has ever happened to me". As he was on honeymoon at the time it didn't go down very well with his new bride (who was a cracking bird he'd pulled way above his league IMHO). They've since divorced.

Apart from the point to anyone who says "what sort of fan goes on honeymoon when his club could be playing" I reckon that shows similar levels of one-eyed fandom to proper fans of clubs like ours. Locally I'd say Man City has more johnny come lately fans on the basis that they're a lot easier to get tickets for and people don't cast aspersions on you for supporting City, assuming you grew up next to the Gallaghers.
 

The Red Knights

Man Utd are a worldwide name that has become a brand in the current way business is sold. However they were a worldwide name long before the premier league and so when the tv venture hit they and Liverpool in the main became an even bigger name and sold merchandise on the back of it.
Thats what any good business would do.
As for having fans in London and elsewhere then I suggest we look on this board and see how many fans of our club don't actually live anywhere near GP. I don't and I expect my two children to follow me as a Bees fan in the future having never lived near GP, thats whats happened to United fans generally. They have a family history somewhere of following them and continue to do so, just happens its in much greater numbers than Bees.
Of course you'll find schoolkids supporting them simply because of their position in the league table, but in time I have found that many of these end up going to more local grounds and following their local team. That how I started supporting Brentford anyway, because my early days at school and before being taken anywhere, my interest was in the top division and kicking balls around the playground pretending to be George Best.

I have no liking for Chelsea but I don't understand the seemingly nationwide dislike of Lampard. Perhaps I've missed something. Why is he deemed to be a ******?

Of course, the others are. I'd add Essien to that list because he's an animal.

Me too.

At school I made out I was a Chelsea or Tottenham fan, even though I hadn't been to a game. My son is the same at the moment. He comes home from school with talk of Man U and even worse Fucham.

I'm sure he does it to wind me up as all the teams I hate Fucham, Chelsea QPeeHaHa etc he wants to win.
 

The Red Knights

the particular dislike i have for Lampard is the same as i would have of any man vain enough to have a lifesize print of himself on his living room wall. The smug
[family man] who also found it difficult to remain faithful to wife and daughter, but never tired of telling us all how devoted he was to both. the arrogant badge kissing smirk. the nauseating Feel my Pain pointing to the heavens goal celebrations. Still i suppose that is still not as bad as peeing in plastic glasses/floors of nightclubs like the ex England captain
 

The Red Knights

I see Keith Harris is leading the Red Knights. I wonder if Orville is also part of it. ;):D

I like Man Utd, their tradition and style of football, the stadium. Use to always watch them in the 70's or 80's if I could. Loved George Best.

Sadly ended up drinking more like him (for a short while) than mirrored his football talents.

Know many people hate them though.

I find it hard to understand that most of their "fans" think that by being bought by another group of people will magic the debt away - the club will just owe someone else. I can't imagine that these Barren Knights are going to put their money in to write off the debts; it's all nonsense.

Quite, and if they are putting £xm in each they are going to want a decent return on their investment.

They may or may not have the best intentions of the club at heart but is also strikes me they are trying to get the cash cow that is Manu on the relative cheap so it can be milked for all it is worth.

The debts are now all the clubs are they not and are also well in execess of £1b so they will never be debt free whatever they say.

The debt is their main beef but they also estimate that if current trends continue, by the time the bond repayments are due in 2017 the Glazer's will have taken £400m out of the club, which the fans believe should be spent on the team and keeping ticket prices down and paying off the debts that they saddled the club with rather than going into the Glazer's pockets.
