That's what i am saying. Most asians started supporting United cause of Beckham and by doing that, they completely overshadowed those asians that are true and loyal fans. So losing some of them at least, would give more chance for real fans to emerge.

the majority of those asian fans are now real madrid fans.

cough, not to name any names.. syaz_wan cough.

Whats really happening to Man Utd....I mean I do like them losing but now Arsenal don't have any Rivals(not including any city rivals)
Seriously tho...is it that Rio Ferdinand is gone?? or Beckham?? hmm...

First thing, Hans, you need to calm down with insulting Wes Brown. He's refound his form and is currently our best defender. If you're willing to blast him for every mistake he made then you've got to give credit to him now that he's performing well.

As for this game. Man City are kidding themselves if they think that 4-1 is a fair reflection of the game. Maybe 4-1 is more enjoyable when you weren't the better team? Like when we pasted you in the FA Cup with 10 men after Gary Neville got sent of for nutting McManaman, in a style similar to the one which involved Distin nutting Nicky Butt today. (or yesterday now)

Which brings me to my first point. The referee wasn't bad today but that was a poor decision. It was very much like the McManaman-Neville incident. In that the players got tangled, Distin had a shifty kick at Butt, Distin went to hit him over the head in a Keown on Ruud fashion, and then the pair put their heads close together and Distin headbutted Butt. Butt probably deserved his yellow for his involvement in it, but the fact that Distin wasn't shown his marching orders was an injustice.

The only other bad refereeing decision was Scholes' booking after McManaman's blatent dive.

Right, to the real action. We were the better team for 75mins. First half it was one way traffic. How we didn't equalise or take the lead is mystery to me. Ronaldo hitting the woodwork. There were a few occasions where we just needed a toe, or anything, to turn in a ball going accross the face of the City goal. Then Scholes turned up and made it 2-1 and Keegan would've said that 'There's only one team in it now...', if he was still commentating.

Into the 2nd half and it wasn't as one way as the first half, but realistically it seemed more a matter of when rather than if United would equalise for at least the first 15mins of it. But our creativity started to wane. Ronaldo tired, and Giggs started doing nothing.

Then along came the error which ended the game. On one of City's hoof it clear plays (which were common throughout most of the game), it looked like a standard play by Silvestre but he missed the ball. The ball rolled nicely for Sinclair and it would've been harder to miss that to score.

After then it City seemed pretty much in control. We had to poor players forward which left our shakey defense more prone to counter attacks and thus it proved for Wright-Phillips' goal

Wright-Phillips' goal was a good one though. He's a player that will go far imo. It happens to be goal of the weekend on BBC (deservedly)... how many times has goal of the weekend been scored against us since mid-january?

racist? For saying that thousands of Asians started supporting Man Utd becuase of Beckham's publicity? Well, it is sad but true. Most of them don't even follow United closely in the league or anywhere else. Real got Beckham now and at least a thousand of those fans changed to supporting Real. So, it's sad but true. When i say Asians i mean mostly China, Korea and Japan. Japan the most.
Second, calling me moron, eh? Well, what the hell are you then saying that you are ashamed of being a United fan? Why support them if you are ashamed of them. Let anyone try to prove me wrong, but if a fan of a big team is ashamed of supporting that team, due to bad run and results, then it's a clear gloryhunting symptom. Unlike you i wear my shirt proudly, even when United lose.
Like i said i am not the one that is happy about it, but a lot (not all) of Asian fans are not even following United regularly. I am sorry if i offended you in any kind of way. But you can try to prove me wrong, that United will lose a lot of fans in Asia (Japan especially), because of the bad season and the sale of Beckham. Of coarse many fans in europe and america will stop supporting them as well, but the most will be asians.

1. I put those words in my sig at the beginning of the season, even before we were top of the table this season, so you bet that I were ashamed to be a fan of a team that was leading the EPL, huh? Brilliant. Moreover, did I actually say I was ashamed to be a manu fan b/c of our performence? Tell u the truth, I feel ashamed b/c of many of manu fans in this forum are retarded (feel free to exclude urself for this one), any intelligent users on this forum know who I am referring to. Surprisingly many people dont see this line until recently when we are sufferring in the league.

2. Your original comment is making a generalization of ALL the Asian ManUtd fans, which is definitely insulting, as this is not only the case for Asian members, but also many American and European members (as you later justified it in your last post). Maybe you didnt mean to be a racist, but you definitely were one when you said those words.
