It’s been mentioned here already but worth repeating; their weird need for everyone to like them is utterly baffling.

Football is about Rivalry. United don’t support City in finals. Spurs don’t want Arsenal to do well. Hell, we’ve all got random teams that we can’t stand for no real reason (Villa for me). But with them, whenever anyone goes against them, or indulges in a bit of schadenfreude when they balls it up, it’s “bitter”. That’s the only response they seem to have to other teams laughing at them.

They seem to have this weird notion that they should be everyone’s second team, and we should all recognise them as some incredible footballing ideal.

That attitude is precisely why they are lots of other supporters ‘Villa’ - a team they specifically look for every week hoping they lost.

They can't have it both ways. They can't stalk Everton pages, mock us when we get knocked out of Europa, make banners making fun of us for their final, make endless digs at Tottenham who AREN'T EVEN THEIR RIVALS, and then whine when people make fun of them.

It’s crazy, they’re the only fans I’ve met who constantly use the ‘bitter’ jibe whenever anyone takes the mick out of them.

It used to just be ‘bitter blues’, but now they call United fans bitter. City fans. Chelsea. Everyone’s bitter cos they’re not with the RS programme.

They utterly baffle me, and I work with WBA fans, West Ham, Spurs, Fulham, Villa, Arsenal - all of which I can shoot the breeze with and take the mick without any superiority or shouts of ‘bitter’ from anyone.

They truly are unique. But not in the way they think.

I gave up trying to work them out years ago mate. You won't find logic, there simply isn't any where they're concerned.
