so, if the atmosphere in anfield wasnt enough to quench my thirsty soul, i took a chance to dance and play along with my housemates, and take a visit to downtown manchester, to the stadium of the worse scums of the earth, the manks. although i am a scouser, i try to go there with an open heart.. but well, all other scousers out there, if u think u wanna go trafford just for the experience, don't! why? well, here we go...
thanks to my reluctance in goin, we overspent some time drinking mocha and latte in starbuck, resulting in a late rush to old trafford, which includes getting cramped up like sardines in the tram to trafford, and suffering someones "silent but deadly" gas attack, the worse of its kind. so, we got there late. so we got in after the game started. so we missed the goal (big deal, who wanna see manks score anyway, even if its against gunners). but the atmosphere... was pure crap.
so what can i conclude about manks?

1. manks are probably the lowliest fans one can ever have. i mean, think about it, at anfield, it was all about Liverpool and its glory, the managers and the players. trafford? their songs are mainly regarding bloody and disgusting killing scousers, killing city fans, killing leeds fans, and tormenting everyone with bad songs. which explain why manchester has so many serial killers anyway. and lets not forget insultive. while i am not against calling wenger a paedophile, or saying viera and wenger sleeps together, but for crying out loud, cant u actually sing about ur players instead of insulting others? but of course, if u got no quality, then what can u sing?
2. manks are a vulgar bunch of people. every song they sing, every sentence they speak, has to contain a "fuck" and a "bastard" the LEAST. hell, they cant make up any lyrics without explatives. its like they're eminem wannabes with bad lyrics and even lousier voices, and no tune.
3. manks have this obsession over Eric Cantona. like i said previously, they never sing anything about current players (maybe a single solkjear tune), but the worship Cantona like god. well, yea.. he's good, but for god's sake, HE'S GONE! get over it! u aint gonna be hoping he'd haul his ass back from whereever he is just because all u want for christmas is 10 eric cantonas. face it, and face life without cantona and trophies, because thats all thats awaiting u.
4. manks have no passion. in anfield, the whole stadiums roars to life the moment they announce the starting lineup, all the way to the final whistle. trafford? one singular upper tier can be heard vainly trying to sing, while the others just sit and stone, and shout "awww" when the manks miss a goal. or let one in. theres no passion in it, no heart. no unification whatsoever.

so what can i say? ill have to be having a 5 hour of anfield videos marathon just to clean myself of the disgust of stepping foot into trafford, and nights to actually forget the horrors of being burned at the bonfire by manks. so my advise to all u scoursers out there, avoid trafford like plague. unless liverpool is playing away there. coz we'll shut em up. won't we?
