Ed Woodward’s house under attack!

Apparently tonight the rebel-supporter group known as ‘the Men in Black’ attacked Ed Woodward’s house with flares.

First time Ed has seen some flair in ages 😂

I honestly can’t hide my bemusement at this.

A few Liverpool fans genuinely believe that they’re treated differently as a fan base.

Whether on a forum or not, that is new levels of thinking the world revolves around you and having a massive complex.

It’s so weird.

Oh and TOOR.

Where did I say it didn’t happen?

Good luck with that.

The scales slightly different. A small group of half wits have stood outside someone's house menacingly. Not acceptable, but an isolated small group of dikheads.

Everyone that bus drove past threw something at it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is slightly different, one group threw stuff at a bus, another group turned up outside the personal residence of a United employee, having threatened his life in the days leading up to it.

I think we can all accept that the two incidents highlight that there's an element of United's support that are ballbags, and that Liverpool's support are all ballbags.

As a massive ballbag yourself, TOOR, I'm sure you can relate to this.

Well as a father I know I would have rather been on the reinforced bus and at least that was footy based.

I find the Woodward stuff a bizarre tbh mainly because Utd fans are traditionally very loyal. Only fans Ive seen do sh!t like that in England are West Ham I think with the Beckham effigy and throwing coins at old men.

Death chanting is a bit odd. There's loads of ways to leave a job, you don't have to leave the planet.

Ive not read the thread really, and don't really have to I suspect. There was a lot written about the bus incident but that doesn't make me feel I need some sort of payback.

Look at how Liverpool fans are described on here and in general.

Bin dippers, thieves, hub cap stealers, burglars, hooligans who got everyone banned from Europe - you can see it on a daily basis.

It's just how it is.

Yeh, the calling is much worse against Liverpool fans than others.

I’m sure TOOR has some stats on it.

The poor Liverpool fans, made to feel so unwelcome despite their friendly demeanour to others.

Exactly and I think a lot of it is to do with the media really. From the 80's with certain joke tabloids all the way through to now where you have pundits openly using the phrase bin dippers.

But then you have the whole we're not English we're scouse thing to so that in itself is a division.

It's pretty boring really. Just take people as you find them.

I was being sarcastic

I would tend to agree that there’s a general reputation of Liverpool but I think the fans on here give as good as they get in the insult stakes.

Ultimately they’re the big club of the moment and so they’ll get more attention. United had that for years.

Just had a look at this story.... It's being reported that they rang the intercom at his gate, then when there was no answer chucked a few flares over and went home.

It's not exactly a home invasion... and Ed was conveniently off at his Mam's for his tea so no one was home.

Also, how did the press photographers get on the scene of a short lived spontaneous protest in the middle of leafy Cheshire while it was happening? If you were into conspiracy theories....

Read this earlier. Sun should be hammered if true.

It all smacked of an organised stunt at the time, like Chris Evans giving £100 to a homeless guy while being 'secretly' photographed by the paps.

They'll be funding planes towing banners next... That's a good story that fits their narrative.
