because i listed 10

Jesus wept, my 6 year old niece could come up with a better joke than that.

Absolutely terrible. *shakes head*

Hate is indeed a strong word.

But I don't think it's strong enough to descibe how I feel towards St.Helens.

and I felt this way before I was watching rugby!

Don't hate Matt King!! never hated him.

Infact I think he's playing like a superstar at the moment.

Just Hull KR and Hate is too mild a word!!!

Am I allowed to post on this one or am I hated too much?

1.Leeds
2.Wakefield
3.Huddersfield
4.Castleford
5.Saints

as long as you leave off Wires then post away

Interesting one, this. While hate might be a bit strong, the teams I hate Wire losing to are, naturally, Wigan, Widnes and Saints, in that order (admittedly this hierarchy dates from the 80s when I watched Warrington properly).

The trouble is that teams become increasingly 'hated' in proportion to their success. I wonder how many fans of other sides actively 'hate' Warrington - not many, I'd guess, as we haven't been good enough to induce enough enmity in recent years.

My dad had a different take on the local rivalry stuff, though - he'd support any Lancashire team over any Yorkshire side. So, any televised game years back, I'd be going for Cas or Hull or Halifax or whoever, and he'd happily prefer to want Widnes, Saints or Wigan to win

Mind, he got a bit bored of this stance when Wigan won everything.

Favourite other teams: Hull KR, Castleford and London.

Hull FC ~ Thuggish fans
Saints ~ arrogance personified

So basically you hate 2 successful teams (shock horror) and just as an additional you hate all Saints fans because I put a higher value on spending time with my family rather than going to [usome[/u matches.

Now sit back, inwardly digest that for a bit and just think how much of a moron you are for the second one of those reasons.

ah, so it includes mancs here.

I spot a trend, all the ones you hate are your local and vastly more sucessfull rivals. Funny that.

mancs are not more sucessful than liverpool.
wot you on about?

Get ready for a Scouse history lesson folks

no. just check the records. FACT.

Last 20 years?

god who started this hate list

I've listed trophies worth winning, not BBC floodlight equivalents. i.e mickey mouse ones.

League titles.

Liverpool - 18
United - 17

European Cups

Liverpool 5
United 3

FA Cups

United 11
Liverpool 7

World Club

United 2
Liverpool 0

Total

United 33
Liverpool 30


FACT.

You seem to have forgotten League Cups, Manchester United are the current champions, and have 3 victories, but Liverpool have 7.
This is seen by UEFA as the same as the FA cup with the same European reward. But I can understand hao this doesn't fit with your warped logic



Liverpool 37
Manchester United 36

FACT

Nothing competition, that most teams don't give a sh*t about, it's not our fault our second string is good enough to win trophies.
33-30...

oi, pack it in before you start with the foosball arguing, if you want to do that off to other sports or i'm locking this.

Let him have his League Cups mark and we'll include Charity Shields

My Hate list (on thred)
Charity Sheilds.
People called Mark from Surrey

I still struggle with the conecpt of having to hate somebody because they are from a different town than I am.

Of the teams I'm 'supposed' to hate, being from Warrington, I probably have more trouble 'liking' Widnes, but by no means do I hate them. I am somewhat bemused by the attitude and behaviour of a number of their townfolk; some seem to have a real chip on their shoulder. I do have a strong dislike for some people I have encountered there whilst playing rugby, but that is due to their personality and I have enountered similar elsewhere. Widnes, however, remains the only town I have seen a fully grown man berate a little old lady because of the rugby team she supports.

One thing that grates at me with Sintelluns, in rugby terms, is the SkySports love-in that anyone who plays for Saints is "a GB certainty for the future" - Scott Moore, Kyle Eastmond, et al. That, however, isn't the fault of the Sintelluns public, nor even the lads themselves, it's just bleeding annoying.

Wigan.. Well, I actually love Wigan as a town and there are very few Wiganers I have come across and didn't like. There's banter there in rugby terms, but, for me at least, nothing mallicious.

There are people that I consider good friends who support those three teams, too.

While we're sharing the love, I'd like to point out that my two favourite (other) rugby towns are Leigh and Castleford.

In fact, if anything, I have had more difficulty at times liking some Wire 'fans', but I suppose familiarity can breed contempt at times. *

*Don't take this and turn it into a big issue, no doubt we've all seen someone at the matches and thought =redVery funny, but keep it clean please!.
