I don't think they do "hate us" really... they hate United much more

It's not the pool fans that hate us, it's the ex-player pundits in the media. Some of them actually drool so much over united,you'd think they'd actually played for them (wanker lawro the perfect example)

You are truly deluded my friend. :shock:

A big fat NO - I hate Liverpool with all my heart but Torres is one of the best, if not THE best strikers in the world right now. I'd give my left bollock to have him playing for my club.
There are quite a few strikers in world football I'd happily take over him - Drogba, Rooney, Villa, Eto'o, Tevez, Ibrahimovic, even our own van Persie. Not belittling him as a player, but let's just he's not my cup of tea.


You would rather have ibrahimovic over torres ? :shock: :shock: :shock: Tbh I would rather have bedtner in my team and coming on the back of the 'mare he had last saturday gives you a fair idea how "highly" I rate that lazy swedish c**t :roll:
if i could choose any striker in the world for the arsenal, ibrahimovic would probably be my choice

100%. Tevez not only gives you goals, but he also works his bollocks off every game, hassling defenders and putting them on the back foot. World class at defending from the front, he's strong, intelligent, good in possession, great at set pieces. What's there not to like about Tevez?

I dont fault Tevez' work rate, I still think he didn't score enough for Utd. For me Torres every time, beats Tevez in most departments 8)

Wasn't that down to purple nose not giving him enough playing time? He's been prolific for Citeh.

Perhaps, but every season I think he didn't do enough, lack of playing time was a factor yes, but if you look at Torres/Drogba/Van Persie I see much better players overall. 8)

Why do you care about which/why an other club supporters hates you? I like United being hated personally, it creates this "us against the world" mentality throughout the squad and gives the players a bit more edge when they run out at the beginning of the game.

I'm kinda confused regarding Ibra.

On one hand, he's a great player and has been for some time - I dont think anyone could dispute that.

He's arguably among the best strikers in the World.

But watching La Liga regularly, the amount of Barca moves that break down because of him....it makes me wonder why they let Eto'o go who fitted perfectly into that team. I suppose maybe I am being to harsh as it will take time to adjust to the quicker pace.

I still cant make up my mind!!!!!! :lol:
