I suppose it's all the long-term wankers that ruin it for everyone by doing their best to antagonise the others. In short, the English ruined it for everyone.

I can understand it a lot more when I consider that I used to like Liverpool a lot more before I discovered how certain fans will take every opportunity for a potshot. For example, Marty, my brother-in-law who happens to be a New Zealander, is a lot less... hardcore for a Liverpool fan than Psychotic, which is what made me like them a fair bit in the first place.

And for what it's worth, I think Arsenal deserve to be on par with United at the moment (which they pretty much are), both teams have been playing very attractive, consistent football.
