They go to enjoy the experience without any real expectations of winning. Now, those England fans on the other hand. Again mostly fine but when they start singing about 2 world wars and on world cup and German bombers. Eurgh. That is skipping over the general hooliganism that seems to follow the English national team. I think you’ll find that Manchester when hordes of huns descended upon them would disagree. Maybe not international but the same nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being wrong 20 years ago and still being wrong 20 years later is not the same as making an accurate prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even your second sentence above doesn't really make sense as things in Manchester have improved since 2008 with a lot of new developments and investment being made.

Hun is a sectarian derogatory remark that Celtic fans (and fans of other clubs) use on Rangers fans, so while it wasn't "scotland" supporters the majority would have been Scottish fans down in Manchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise it was a sectarian insult. When I was referring to Scottish fans I had the international ones in mind rather than those at club level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austerity is a Tory policy. My experience is homelessness and poverty has increased almost year on year during those years. Yeah there's been building and the Northern Quarter is fun but it is obviously not improved in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
