I do to be honest - In my experience, the "thoughtful" United fans are the older ones who remember when they were a piss poor team and know what its like to flounder mid table or get relegated.

Its the generation of younger United fans who have grown up knowing nothing other than success that i'm not so keen on. They think success is a birthright to them, and they think that by default they will win something big over a season, and it will always be that way. A bad season for them is only one trophy, or second in the prem.

When i lock horns with these dicks, i point out that they are not football supporters, they know nothing about the game, because the game is not just winning all the time, the game is winning AND losing, its following your team through shit and shitter, seeing the humour in your situation, and living with your failures way more than any of your successes. And the successes you do get, you really appreciate.
