Man City- why I can't seem to Hate Them
There are many teams I dislike with a passion in the premier league. As a Liverpool fan most of them have pissed me off over the years. However whenever we have played Man City no matter what I cannot spit venom at them. Maybe its because we share a common enemy. Maybe I like them because they have England's number one goalkeeper. Maybe it's because they're fans do come from Manchester and have gone through A LOT (plus there fans include the Gallagher brother who I think are ACE!!). Maybe it's everything I just wrote combined!
Manchester United
Ah the common Enemy- Its difficult to know who hate Them more- Us or City. I would just go with us but whenever there is a manchester derby on I will always support City- When they won the title in 2011 I was cheering for them!! Plus there fall from grace in 2013 was funny to watch!
Chelsea
I don't understand why I dislike Chelsea. Maybe it was because in 2003 they robbed us of a champions league place. Yes I wanted them to win the 2008 champions league final (just because they were playing for united) but having three of the most Unlikable english players in their side (Terry, Cole and Lampard) didn't help. Plus the way they played in the second half of last year (boring) didn't please me either. I have taken a little bit of pleasure on seeing them struggle a bit this year!!
Arsenal
My dislike for them has faded over time but growing up with a Spurs fan (my dad) meant that liking Arsenal was a non-starter. However I am still sick of Wenger complaining over the ref (though the Gibbs mix-up was something to badly complain over but since he had complained so many times in the past there was little sympathy with me!! And my hope for them for this year faded when they bought one player and he was a goalkeeper!!!
Tottenham
Having said that though I still dislike Spurs. Just because my dad is a spurs fan. Selling any decent players to Man Utd over the years has soured my liking for them (but I hope they keep Kane) and playing players like Friedel in the Europa League has deepened my dislike for them since they never make it through to the final stages and it doesn't seem like they make an effort anymore.
Anyway those are the reasons I dislike the top teams. But Man City????? Nope I just can't dislike them. Thats life really.
