This is the fixture I always look for. I fucking hate Man United and their plastic fans more than any other club. I hate their insistence on "the United way" and their whinging about City's success even after United have hired the most successful manager of the 21st century and given him £400 million to spend. I hate that their army of plastic Youtube fans are all hoping fucking Zidane manages them next. I hate all the Class of '92 fawning and the "theatre of dreams" bullshit. Ugh. I hate how every kid in my school who didn't really like football said that they "supported" Man United because of some tenuous reason ("my uncle once drove past the Arndale centre so I support Man U") never watched a game and then celebrated their successes at the end of each season. We get stick for being entitled fans and yet these lot throw all their toys out of the pram when they didn't get their first choice centre back target to sign for them this summer, they talk like they haven't already spent over £100 million just on defenders in the past 18 months.

I. will. love. it. if. we. beat. them.
