Rangers Europa League Final

[Dmas]

Imagine getting all the way to a European final, the players going all the way to penalties in the searing heat then the fans just ****ing off before the the medal presentation. That game could easily have gone either way. Penalties is a lottery. What a massive kick in the balls for those hun players. Terrible "support".

Was saying the same last night to my mate, all that excitement and great results to even get to that stage just to throw up the fingers at the end like it’s all forgotten about, awful showing of support was huge numbers as well

[GreenCastle]

They will go on about 100,000 or whatever made up number they want to try outdo Celtic but that was poor not staying around to clap the players and opposition for the presentation.

To all those saying the Huns had great support well they didn’t have the decency to stay and support their team at the end. Glory hunters !

The 100,000 was peddled around a few weeks ago wasn't it, and that was going to be the 'actual' figure no matter how many eventually arrived in Seville. Totally made up arbitrary number.

[Hibby70]

I've yet to see any images which suggest they had anything like 100,000 fans in Seville. When you compare the scenes from when Celtic were there there's no comparison.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Oh dear oh dear. Yeh that’s right. Well the way I see it, unless they change the rules, just to save your despair, there are only two teams in the final, one from Edinburgh and one from Glasgow. We are left with a very narrow and undesirable field of choice so what’s your preference? No sitting on the fence now, what’s your choice? 🤨

Huns, it's quite straightforward.

[Jim44]

Queen Liz, Stephen Craigan, Ally McCoist, Kevin Thomson, Douglas Ross, Murray Ross, John Beaton, Bobby Madden, Andy Halliday, Kris Boyd, the Daily Record, the orange order, your boys took one helluva beating.......

At the moment, The Rangers have won precisely the same as we have this season. Zip.

Still a good season compared to our dreadful one. Fingers crossed they win on Saturday.

[A Hi-Bee]

My, my what a real shame, the actual real huns knock sheite out of the imitation huns, what a lovely way to win a final.
Tears and snot running like rivers all through Govan and beyond this morning, the bbc still going on about the miricle journey after 12 years, forget it they only spent around 150 mill of other peoples money just to get to that final.
Could not have happened to a finer institution.

Sure a few on here (undercover) will be real disappointed as well, along with quite a few sympathisers on here as well.
**** the huns

There's no two ways about it. Huns to win.

All the decent media reports claim there was 10s of thousands of Rangers fans in Seville.

Older fans here will mind the chant from Celtic fans in the 60s/70s to their legendary player,captain,then manager.

There is only one King Billy, thats McNeill.

I recall being in Billy's pub in Bellshill one time.
Gave us all a free dram ,as it was his Mothers birthday that day.

Fighting with themselves in Glasgow, hope they are a little happier Saturday 5pm then I hope they suffer next season.

I feel relief this morning. The Rangers and their sycophants in the media would have been utterly insufferable had they won last night. It would have been endless. Now we can enjoy their abject misery :greengrin

[Mick O'Rourke]

You would have thought after all the travel and expense of getting there ,that they could find at least another half hour of their time to salute their team .
They clearly still ignore super duper Ally's advice.

Recall one saying he would climb mountains to be in Seville stadium on the night.
They clearly then climbed over each other to get out of the stadium on the night.
Consistant,if nothing else :greengrin

Sorry but it's clutching at straws to suggest the seasons both clubs have had are remotely comparable. If it's only a successful season when you win trophies then about 90% of Hibs' seasons have been a failure.

The yams will certainly be confident of cashing in on hun fatigue.

I'm the same. No doubt it's a minority view, but it would be delicious :agree:. Don't really care, in all honesty.

[Stairway 2 7]

Living in the city having to have them parade on Sunday. Having hearts fans at work and unfortunately jambos mates who will milk it for years in person and on social media. It really doesn't compare. If I lived up north or something I'd probably not care. Hopefully the huns pump them

2 cup final defeats in a few days for the Sevco franchise would be agonising and I can definitely get on board with that.

**** the Hearts, mate. Our 2016 win permanently shut them up. They can't throw it in our faces any longer. I have a few Hearts pals who sent me messages of congratulations in 2016, but would Rangers fans have done the same? Not a chance.

Total sliding door moment for the huns last night.
Win it and - €8.6mil and auto entry into next seasons Champions league, meaning at least another €30mil, then theres the Supercup €5mil for the winner and €3.8mil for the losers. Total of around €42.5mil assuming they'd lose the Supercup, that along with the €30mil they've earned getting to the final is a fair chunk of cash for them and would fill in part of the £100mil hole they've dug for themselves over the last 10 years.

But they lost so - €4.2mil for runners up, Champ League qualification but only though the league and only at 3rd Qual round, they would drop down to Europa and Conference playoffs if they lose, so not guarantee like Celtc. But that should see them earn a anything between €5-30mil, so even at best it will barely hit their pile of debt.

This cheers my soul up no end and I think that the huns deserve to win the Scottish Cup for the first time in their history on Saturday just to ease the pain of getting Frankfurtered last night :greengrin

Unless we somehow achieve the near impossible and become the team to break the duopoly and win the league then it will be the best day we will ever experience in football. With the baggage that was attached to the Scottish Cup even winning the league might fall just short for many.

I honestly think it's part of the reason I feel a bit more disinterested in football these days. I know I'll never experience anything like that again, everything from now on is chasing a high that just doesn't exist. Whoever wins on Saturday will have no bearing on my feelings about that day and weekend. I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders and was buzzing for months afterwards.

How many Rangers pals do you have? I lived and worked in Glasgow for a lot of years so inevitably got to know plenty of Rangers and Celtic fans and the vast majority were just like any other fans, passionate about their teams and (in my presence at least) bereft of the sectarian **** that blights those clubs. They may have expressed different sentiments in private but the Rangers fans I worked with all said well done to me after the cup final win.

[GRA]

Luckily I wasn't living in Edinburgh the last 2 times they won the cup in 2006 & 2012. As I'm due to be visiting family near Gorgie on Sunday the last thing I want is to stumble across their parade! Sevco lose yesterday but win Saturday is the best of a bad situation, halfway there.

Very much my sentiments too. We'll never be a consistently successful club. Our history makes that clear but it took the unforgettable and unbeatable high of 2016 to help me come to terms with that fact. I can now shrug off results which would once have eaten away at me and I also feel far less compulsion to go to games through blind loyalty.

I still want to see Hearts stuffed on Saturday but I won't be watching it and even if they win I know it will largely pass me by in a way their previous cup wins didn't.

One hundred percent, nothing could detract from it. Being there with loved ones and thinking of loved ones who didn't get to see it is something money can't buy. After that day other results are much less important.

Certainly is. Never even noticed the date until I read this. And wouldn't have given a monkey's if I had. It's like saying that you are sullied as a Hibs supporter if you share a birthday with a Hearts or Rangers supporter. Very odd.

[Chorley Hibee]

The excuses for how subdued the hun support was have started in earnest, and their early departure too.

They had no water to drink, it was too hot, there was no food, the stadium was a death trap, they left immediately because they'd have missed their buses, flights etc.

Incredible that none of this seemed to affect Frankfurt fans in the same stadium isn't it.

Walking away it's the Rangers way.

Spot on. The same Huns who bolted at full time, in order to catch flights etc, wouldn't have been in such a hurry had they won. I didn't watch it, but, apparently, their fans were very quiet......due to the heat etc. That will be the same heat the Frankfurt fans experienced.....

I watched it and The The's were very very quiet given that they appeared to have around 75% of the ground. Given their supporters songbook, I'd imagine the BT sound-mixer wouldn't be turning the volume up much past 1 or 2.

Yes, Sevco are the worst of the worst, especially in relation to intolerant ignorance, but I don't criticise any Hibs fans who want Hearts to lose the final; it's fully understandable. I will just avoid it, same as the Europa Final , and **** them both. I don't really care, though a Sevco meltdoon would be lovely :greengrin

[JoeT_WasTheBest]

The excuses for how subdued the hun support was have started in earnest, and their early departure too.

They had no water to drink, it was too hot, there was no food, the stadium was a death trap, they left immediately because they'd have missed their buses, flights etc.

Incredible that none of this seemed to affect Frankfurt fans in the same stadium isn't it.

Walking away it's the Rangers way.

Exactly, it would make it even worse for Hearts in that Rangers don’t really want the Cup, but they’ll take it to prevent the season as being as successful as ours.

21st of May would forever be a tainted date for me if the 'tarts were to win on Saturay. I don't want any of them to win, but as a Hibbie, it's a no win situation. I'm related to jambos, in law, and they're good people. As much as I detest the 10 year old incarnation of the previous team playing out of Ibrox, I hope they give the poppy thieves a good slapping, unless some unprecedented event occurs that means the final can't take place with no winners, or has to be played on a different date. I'd still prefer the "good slapping" option.

The gangs you are describing abusing locals in the Grassnarket were probably more likely to have been Hearts fans than Rangers fans.

[Since452]

This is the difference between Hearts and Hibs for me. Could you imagine Hearts fans wanting us to beat Celtic or Rangers in a Scottish Cup Final? They want us crushed at every opportunity. Runs through their entire support and their whole club which is why they constantly win derbies.

I hope Hearts are beaten tomorrow but i'd be delighted if they are embarrassed.

They were Orangeman in those parades and the vast majority of those follow rAngers.
There was a lot Hearts families lived in the Market Area.
I went to Catholic School with some of them.Primary and Secondary
One of them was an alter boy at Sacred Heart. .Lived in Guthrie Street for years.
They where practising Catholics .So no chance they had flutes and drums.
More likely also chasing gthe orange cavemen up the road as was the usual outcome.

[Carheenlea]

Where I am at (sort of..)

Playing golf myself tomorrow at 1pm with two Celtic fans and we’ll maybe just catch the end of final in clubhouse afterwards.

I’ll be giving it the “not interested who wins” chat but privately I’ll be hoping for a Rangers win, and a win with plenty of goals to spare.

When Hearts played Gretna in the final I was similarly on the golf course, and when casually putting clubs away afterwards and assuming Hearts had won, I got engaged in some football chat with another member. Gave it the “couldn’t care less” stuff but did ask what the score was anyway. When he said it was all square and penalties were about to start, I’ve never packed up my locker as quick and was up the stairs into bar in a flash :hilarious

Yeah, that's one of the worst things about the whole Sevco saga. The new club had the opportunity to put the cancerous tradition of the old one to bed but since they were so pish on the park, they have shamelessly used it as a tool to rally their old support behind the new club. The rest of Scottish football (including a leading role from our own custodians of the time) bears some responsibility too, since they were complicit in speedily ensuring the newly created "Rangers" was fast tracked into the gap left by the old one, purely for short term financial purposes.

Sadly, that opportunity is long gone and the football authorities have completely *******ised their own rules so they and Sevco can maintain the "continuity" myth. I absolutely detest them whereas I only dislike the lovely neighbours.

Still want the New Huns to win though. It means **** all to them to win a Scottish cup, it's the be all and end all for Hearts.

[Oscar T Grouch]

My niece is a jambo, I have good friends who are jambos despite that I want their team to lose on Saturday.
Winning trophies for the new huns will become routine for them like it was for the old huns, there is no stopping that, it won't mean much to them given their exploits on Wednesday.
If hearts win it, it will mean a hell of a lot more to them and it will give them more ammo to hit Hibs with.
So while I want the huns, celtc and hearts to lose every game they play, there is less pain in it for me if the glagow bigots win a cup. I will not be watching the game, I will look for the result and I will be happiest if the new huns win it even though I hate them the most out the three.

[gbhibby]

The guy is spot on.
Thr German fans came with a plan
Wonderful flags/display and their baritone section out sung sevco by miles.
Could you imagine the seethe if Ron or Ben came out with that statement. Their often outsung by Frankfurt/Hibees fans surrender of you'll die. I think that how the song goes.

[He's here!]

I had my bro in law warned they aren’t representative of the majority of the country. I just warned him not to go to town centre. Still waiting on the mrs to forward the videos he sent her (he’s no clue about football so may even be german fans)

According to Spanish police not a single Rangers fan was arrested in Seville and just six Frankfurt fans.

Must be the first time in the history of that club that there was no arrests. 🤔

[sambajustice]

In any game other than a cup final I'd want Hearts to beat Rangers.

Hearts winning stuff is just not good

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I am a bit perplexed to note here that many want a sevco win.
Its a conundrum for me,too.I could say the Hearts are the lesser of two evils �� by the distance from here to Mars!

I dont relish the thought of the hearts parading the cup,but my loathing of what the ibrox institution has represented in my long life.
It was worse in my parents/grandparents days .And our relatives,the Flynns Devlin's,Donnolly's.McCraw, Cairn's,and Italians through marriage
The Orange Order and other anti catholic gangs of the day marching through their Grassmarket/Cowgate for one purpose.
To intimidate Irish and Italian Catholic families who mostly lived there,then. And Jews.
Between the Parishes of The Sacred Heart at Lauriston Street down to St Patrick's in the Cowgate.
And a good community it was too, if very poor and certainly.tough..
I spent my early childhood there at my Granny's hoose, 17 Grassmarket,next stair to the vennel
Attended local primary in Glen Street school and The Sacred Heart.

So here they come,Granny!
The flutes playing, drums banging.Drunks abusing the locals.
Keep yer place,papes "we arra peepul".
The Irish working men would descend out of the lodging houses in the Market and West Port to defend us all from the Satanists, !!
And they did not mess about .No silly pavement dancing on those battles.
Chased them up the West Bow and The Blackie.Not a fitba in sight !
So there you go.Until the next time.

The morns game is not about football for me .Just some childhood memories that left scars till this day.
(av not even mentioned the Ibrox/Hampden visits in my youth when facing the bigots)
Am 70 now, I wont of course celebrate a hearts win.

Am always though a bit happier when the self appointed supremacists win nothing, zero,nada, hole in the doughnut
That is when the incandescent rage rears up and gives them drunken courage (normally ruby/tawny wine and buckfast led) to be destructive and show little or no care for anyone bar themselves.

I had hoped when that club died all those years ago, we were going to see a new fresh era in football and civil society bloom.
But how naive was i too think the establishment and rooted institutions would allow their beloved bigots go to the wall.

I had hoped that this bigotry would have diminished in Scotland in my lifetime.
It has in many areas of society,but stiil it hangs over our nation. Like The Sword of Damocles,some might say .

Is it a generation thing. Younger people are less likely to care about religion and want hearts hammered for football reasons. Wanting your main rivals to win is ****ing bizarre to me. Honestly hope hearts get smashed. Don't really care which side of the arse cheeks wins the cups as they don't really care and I'm not into sectarianism

Me too.

When clubs have a main rival the biggest thing the two sets of fans will compare against each other and really care about (apart from the head to head) are the trophy cabinet stats.

Neither Hibs or Hearts win very many trophies these days, thanks to the duopoly that is Celtic and Rangers. Both of these clubs live on a different planet financially to the rest of us and therefore when Hibs or Hearts win something it really matters to the supporters and will be used as a huge stick to beat the other side with.

That's before you mention the issue of how much of a financial advantage winning tomorrow would give to Hearts and would only help to pull them further ahead of us.

For the reasons noted above I also find it extremely bizarre that Hibs fans want Hearts to win tomorrow.

When I was 16, I might have been bothered - I'm now 56 and I'm not fussed who wins. Whatever happens, it's not going to affect me. I've got Hearts supporting friends and Rangers supporting friends - I'm sure they'll enjoy the day. I just wish it was Hibs that were in the final.

As far as I can see only one Hibs fan wants Hearts to win and that's for family reasons. The rest of us are far from wanting a Hearts win but want a hun defeat more. Doesn't make us weird. As someone said there will be a generational element to it.

A 24 hour Covid lockdown meaning the game is cancelled and never played would be fine with me...

I think we’re agreed that it’s OK to have your own personal reasons for wanting either one of these despicable teams to lose the cup final more, and your opinion is no more or less valid (or weird) than any other Hibs fan who might have the opposite view.

Me too, but the thought of Edinburgh turning maroon on Sunday sways it for me. Mon Ra Teddy Bears :flag:

[Crunchie]

I have no issue understanding it all.
I just gave my reasons for not supporting rangers as some Hibs supporters seem keen to do
Each to their own preference.Orange or Maroon.
Who am i to say that some of you cant support the anti catholic bigots?

However difficult that is to understand.
Those of us wanting Rangers to win aren't actually supporting them, it's a game of football where someone has to win.
I can assure you the VAST majority of Hibby's won't be wanting our rivals to win which leaves only one option, is that difficult to understand?

Interesting recollections. I was only wee back then but my recollection of visits to ER by Celtic were every bit as unpleasant as when the huns came through. Irrespective of the 'Catholic' connection there seemed little love lost between the fans. Trips to Hampden to play Celtic were also not for the faint hearted.

Couldn't agree more Mick. The prospect of the Sevco racists losing another major Cup Final (I think that would be 0 out of 4) is a very attractive one. So a cup win for our neighbours today just shades it for me.

If Rangers don't win it today they'll win it next season, or the season after that. It's going to happen. The old firm are back to being miles ahead of the rest. Hearts? Their next win will probably be years and years away. Cup wins are like gold dust for the rest of us. Look at Aberdeen, 30 years is it? Hearts will sing songs about it and cherish today if they do it. If Rangers win I'll have forgotten about it tomorrow. Hope Rangers smash them.

There's maybe something in the "growing up in Edinburgh" thing. I didn't grow up in Edinburgh and I want Rangers to lose today more than I want Hearts to lose.

When it comes to Hearts, I'd never really say I hate them. I hate losing to them more than I hate losing to any other team. They've got their absolute plums amongst their support (a lot of them) but they've also got the odd salt of the Earth fan who I'm happy to be really good mates with.

Rangers on the other hand - I've just got a problem with everything that institution stands for and I just can't imagine any circumstances when I'd wish any success for them. A cup final against Hearts is probably as close as it gets but now we're here - nah, I hope they lose. On penalties again, as painful as possible.

Success for them can wait a bit longer.

And that has been the theme in many of my comments .Not a love for hearts.

My lifelong abhorrence of that institution and its mostly bigoted following is not going to be put on hold for the duration of a football match,just because the opponents are our city rivals.

Without doing a head count, it appears quite a few would prefer a Hearts win to a Rangers.

Perhaps an example of our falling short of a “win at all costs” mentality in the Edinburgh derby.

[GreenCastle]

If I wanted to get rid of one club from Scottish football it would be Rangers.

If I want one team to win today it’s Rangers though as Hearts are our rivals who we compare trophies against etc.

Would prefer Hearts as a club to be around more than the Huns.

That was an awful day and one I remember clearly. Was in the old east at the time near where the casuals used to gather, when the CS canister exploded, we all ended up on the pitch and more tragically, an old fella died in the tunnel. Glasgow press blamed Hibs fans for it until the Police charged the two Celtic fans. Horrible day and certainly exposed the then Celtic fans for exactly what they could be.

It's a fairly unique situation - where your city rivals are coming up against one of the most despicable, bigoted institutions in the country.

Someone the other day said it was like choosing which vet to have your perfectly healthy pet put down at. I don't think we should be reading too much into anyone's answer to this one tbh.

There's a guy I know - a jambo - whose Dad was a hibby. His Dad was into his 90s and every year he wanted Hibs to win the cup because he wanted his Dad to live to see it, and he finally got his wish. This hasn't really impacted on Hearts' desire to win derbies so I'm fairly comfortable that my most marginal preference this afternoon isn't part of any kind of collective weakness.

The abuse i was subjected to was not solely at football games.
More systematic at where i stayed.(and later in workplace)
Anyway
Mercer as hertz owner failed to gain a majority shareholding in Hibs.
Yes, he wanted to kill us for personal profit in land sales/development,etc
Not sure many jambos had any say in his intentions.
He didnt consult them.
I knew guys who worked for him.
Narcassist about summed him up.

[Pagan Hibernia]

It’s really very simple.

i hate Rangers for social and political reasons and for what the club stands for. I hate hearts in a football sense. This is a football match.

as others have said a Rangers win will be forgotten after a day or two, probably even by most of their own support. What’s one more domestic cup when added to the scores they’ve won already (liquidation and second incarnation notwithstanding).

hearts win, and it’s an unbearable weekend, summer, year, and probably several years for Hibs fans.

easy decision.

I think people need to show a little, maybe even a lot, more empathy and consideration for others these days. My wife was born at 3 Grassmarket ten years later than yiu mind, ya auld git. She too remembers the cheery flute tunes come through also many of your relatives

Well said. And just to add cream on top, your brother was my absolute all time hero in a Hibs strip. Can’t thank him and the other Tornadoes fir those glory days.

And that has been the theme in many of my comments .Not a love for hearts.

My lifelong abhorrence of that institution and its mostly bigoted following is not going to be put on hold for the duration of a football match,just because the opponents are our city rivals.
Hypocrisy !


Looks it could be a day for the garden and radio, and i wish Lee's old team all the best today .. Sunderland that is :greengrin


absolutely take your point across your posts Mick

you have however made comments like ‘hun loving hibbies’, which is a bit snide when you’re asking (quite rightly) that others accept your reasons for choosing to hope rangers lose. Everyone’s entitled to their own reasons for which outcome they would prefer, you do seem to be getting quite frustrated at other people seeing things differently from you

It wisnae meant as being snide. I did add an emoji and ! mark.

Just a response i guess to a couple of posts winding me up.:greengrin
Am usually good mannered on here. Old age !!
Anyway,my views have been made.

If the weather stays fair,will sit in my garden on my Green garden chair with matching Green table and large Green and White brolly, do a couple of crosswords and let the debate continue on here.

I'm ever so slightly erring towards being more content with a Yam win. Sure, I hate them, bit I detest The Rangers. My 2 best mates are jambos and I'd rather see them happy than how many thousand blue nose bigots getting a little joy after Wednesday. I want them humiliated. Jambos, whatever, we'll move on from it.

Don't plan to watch it.

[Stairway 2 7]

Couple of my best mates and relatives are jambos I hope them and their kids have a horrible day. They are our rivals, we want them to lose every game.

Leave the sectarianism out of hibs, thankfully its getting less every decade.

Big chance for our dear neighbours today. Sevco have the emotional and physical toll of Wednesday to deal with. It won't be easy for them.

If I was playing Rangers today, I would want 0-0 for as long as possible, making them run all over that big Hampden pitch. Fatigue will become a factor later on; they've just played 120 minutes in 35 degrees.

[Corstorphine Hibby]

Without doing a head count, it appears quite a few would prefer a Hearts win to a Rangers.

Perhaps an example of our falling short of a “win at all costs” mentality in the Edinburgh derby.

Can’t really think of too many big city rivalries where opposing fans hope their rivals win.

There are plenty Manchester United fans wanting City to win the league tomorrow rather than Liverpool

My family in Manchester are all United fans and they want City to win the league. Different dynamic: the historic rivalry/antipathy between United and Liverpool is more fierce than that between the clubs within each city.

Oh ‘And **** the Hearts’ hope they get pumped today.

I'll be controversial here as I want Hearts to win. I'm not a resident in Edinburgh (I'm in the west) so I don't have the experience of the city rivalry thing. The superior, condescending attitudes of Sevco supporters towards the club I support annoys me. Therefore it's the lesser of two evils to win for me. The ideal scenario of course would be both sides to lose. :agree:

Incredible to read that and reflective of our attitude in derby matches.

A Kent dive for a Rangers pen would be delightful.

Absolute nonsense. Wanting Rangers to lose a cup final albeit against Hearts has got zero to do with anyone's attitude in relation to a derby.

Bad feeling about this - was hoping Rangers got an earlyish goal, the extra time and exertion midweek could be telling 2nd half. Hope Roofe comes on, they need more up top

[McHibby]

I just checked the score on the BBC website and the first comment I read was Pat Nevin, "This will help Rangers heal".

He's normally such a sensible pundit. I'm glad to say in this instance he's talking nonsense. They'll kid on that it's a been a great season, but inside their hearts are breaking. And I love it. 😈

Retaining the league title was their top priority after winning it by 25 points last season. Instead they let Celtic straight into the group stages of the Champions League.

Winning the Europa League would have been a hundred times bigger than winning the SC. Getting to the final was a superb achievement, but they lost.

A cup win is a cup win, but, in the grand scheme of things, they would have hoped for more.

[Alex Trager]

**** the Hearts

[Since452]

The last 6 days has been a decent end to a horrific season. A 4-0 win on the last day. Hun tears on Wednesday and a pathetic Jambo performance and defeat today. We can now put this season in the bin and look forward to a new chapter.

Absolutely not. A United fan can never say they want Liverpool to win anything ever. When you have to pick your poison, it has to be City. I'm sure every single Liverpool fan would cheer on Everton against United in the same situation.

your local rivals are the Champions, outplaying and outperforming your club and it’s not a problem?

[Hibernia&Alba]

It's very much like today's situation, but more intense. I have a lot of family who support United and not one of them are hoping Liverpool win the league. It's unthinkable. The animosity between the the two Manchester clubs, and between the two Liverpool clubs, is nothing compared to United-Liverpool.

So how many titles for City will it take for them to decide that being second class in their own city might matter more?

I dunno. I suppose that could change things, but United-Liverpool has been toxic for decades. It can go to crazy and unacceptable behaviour, as with all intense rivalries. There has always been a respect between United and Liverpool, however, as two great traditional clubs. City with their new oil money simply haven't earned their stripes. They are more like Chelsea in that respect.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Yes, I would say it's like the Real Madrid/Barcelona rivalry is much more intense than the Real Madrid/Atletico Madrid rivalry. Two giants from different cities which have both experienced periods of dominance, and neither gives an inch to the other. It doesn't have the political baggage of Madrid/Barca or the Old Firm, thankfully, but it's hardcore rivalry.

:agree:

as someone on the other side of the Liverpool - Man Utd divide from yourself, I agree. The real rivalry is and has been for decades between Liverpool and Utd. City are simply flash, Johnny-come-lately’s. Games against Utd matter more (regardless of which team is having the better season of the 2), trophies between the 2 matter more, which is why utd’s fans would rather city win the title.
