How old are we talking?Thinking a bit more about this situation. I reckon it might be, to some extent, a generational thing.
Older fans have seen the glory days and know those cunts down the road are Johnny Come Latelies. We hate them but we know they're just scum. You scrape the bit of dog turd off the bottom of your shoe and you move on.
Younger fans have lived in their ugly shadow much more, so it's understandable that their hatred should go even deeper, to the extent that they'd rather chop off their own arms than see the cunts succeed.
Does that make sense?
I am 56 ,and reckon i hate them as much as any 18 year old.
