So Boca are the best fans in the world because they're noisy for one game? Brilliant.
So what if we see ourselves as the best fans? I'm sure a lot of fans do.
Boca fans are a lot noisier than Liverpool fans every game of the week. This is one thing that annoys me about Liverpool fans, they act like they're the only club in the world with history and good fans when they're tame compared to the fans of clubs from other countries. I really don't like Boca because they have more glory hunters per capita in their country than probably any other country in the world (even more than Benfica and ManU), but at least the fans that go to their games are as passionate as any in the world. That's why they don't bother me quite as much as ManU fans.
I respect ManU but really don't like them. You're always going to hate the biggest club with the most (glory hunter) fans, and ManU is the world's biggest club with the most fans and largest revenue stream. They began this era of success at exactly the right time, right when the game was commercializing, and they were able to seize a huge fan base all over the UK and the world. So all of the fans in Asia and the US, in particular, were exposed to the Premiership right when ManU was good so they were able to get a huge fanbase abroad and make even more from merchandise. It's annoying because back before this era you weren't able to dominate so easily with a huge pocketbook, but in this era you can, which has ensured that ManU have stayed on top no matter what over the past 20 years. And since the Prem recently emerged as a league as big as any, that guarantees their success. In other eras, the big teams didn't have so many glory hunters, but thanks to the commercialization of the game and the modern media, teams like ManU have many more 'fans' than the big teams did in the past and can count on insane amounts of revenue, guaranteeing them success.
Also their fans are really annoying. They always act like ManU is the only club in the world and by far the most successful. But their success in Europe, the highest stage, hasn't exactly been staggering, they got lucky and won at the end of the game in '99 and were also lucky to win in '08. Considering the fact that they're the biggest and best English club, it's not uber uber impressive. That's of course not to belittle their achievements, and winning the Champions League twice in a decade is a huge accomplishment but success is a relative thing. For example, is ManU "better" than Lyon? Yes. But winning 7 consecutive titles in one of the top leagues in the world (and on a tight budget) is probably as impressive as any club's success in this decade. Or look at Arsenal...ManU fans love to point out their lack of trophies but considering Arsenal's budget, finishing in the top 4 and competing in all competitions (which they do every year) is just as much of a success as ManU or Chelsea winning the title. But ManU fans won't acknowledge this, they think they're the best no matter what. It's the same with players...I get it, Neville, Giggs, Scholes, etc. are very professional, but they aren't ******* war heroes or anything. But ManU fans act like they're the most/only professionals in the world...what about Zanetti, Maldini, Gerrard, etc.
The players..maanger...dont like them at all. Ronaldo is the only player i ever liked at United. And now i like him even more when he is at Real.
