I actually prefer cockney Utd fans to northern ones. Northern Utd fans, in my experience, are horrible, arrogant cunts of the highest order, especially when they find out you're from London and you support Arsenal.
I was just about to write that I actually find it interesting when I meet Manchester (not simply Northern) Utd fans. I go through seasons, literally seasons, without meeting one.
At the pub I was in when I watched Utd lose to City in the FA Cup in New York, most of those guys were Mancunians (or from around there). The amount and array of songs they were singing (before they went 1-0 down) you would NEVER here sung from a cockney because they rarely, if ever, go to the games.
But you do get the feeling that Utd and Liverpool fans have this sense of superiority because London clubs aren't as big. Neither has any London club won a European Cup. "You might be from London but you're soft and shite" sort of vibe. Even on Coronation Street I saw an episode where one lady was talking up London as the big city while the husband was like, 'yeah but their clubs don't win league titles' or something to that effect. It was 90s times.
Those Utd at the pub hated Carrick. 😆
