Thanks for proving my point, which was that Man U are *still* hated even after five years of not being the top dog or anything like it, which suggests that the hatred for them is not entirely derived from their success on the pitch, and possibly looking elsewhere, perhaps at the manager or captain's attitudes.

Liverpool aren't still despised for being top dog in the 80s, after all, so if you change your manager, your team and have ten years of being rubbish, the hatred might subside into a mere slight dislike. Start now, is my advice, there's no time like the present.
