Always have, and always will, support Manchester United. I'm NOT one of those "fair weather & good results" supporters.  To paraphrase the immortal words of General McArthur, We shall return !!

Brilliant quote I read elsewhere this evening:

The ref did Utd no favours tonight ! That was a great opportunity to send Fellaini off and he only gave him a yellow, Utd should appeal and get him suspended!!! :-)

Sadly so true AND he should have gone for that elbow!

I know a lot of older Irish people support M.U. because of George Best.  The same way a lot of Scots support M.U. because of Alex Ferguson.   I have spoken to Aberdeen people who say they started to support M.U.  when Fergie left Aberdeen to go to M.U.  So for older Scots there is this reason they support an English Team so far from Scotland.  However, it always baffles me now, as to why someone who does not come for a place or have any connection with it, supports the football team from that place.  Unless, of course, they are glory hunters.  I remember when M.C. got all the money from the new owner and started to be successful, I was in the supermarket in Peterhead and saw a local guy wearing an M.C. shirt, then over a few weeks more of these shirt wearers appeared in the town.  I had never seen this before in the 30 years I had lived here. :o   ;)
I always think this Scottish support and "love" for an English team never equates to the way a lot of Scots say they would rather see any team win the World Cup than England.  ;)

Well said Gordon, every true supporter would have this attitude, regardless. I can't say I wish Man U the best obviously, but I respect your support and views.

Jacquie the reason I support Man. Utd from a very early age, I come from a small town Chesterfield who were div 4 or 3 so everyone also supported a Div. 1 side as well. I followed Chesterfield all over the country and only go to watch Man. utd. when in England because my sons company have a private box.

Where a person hails from should have absolutely NO reflection upon which football team that person supports/follows. I LOVE Parma Ham, but have NEVER been to Italy !! As for the last sentence of the above quote, when all is said and done, I am BRITISH, proud to be so, and I shall ALWAYS give my support to an English team when they are playing a "foreign" team, ALWAYS !!
Jacqui, please do not let your own bigotry blind you, I have never met you, but I am sure that you are a better, nicer person than this seems to portray you as being.

Herr Tickets, apologies for going off topic !!

This is what proper supporters looks like - 4-0 down, admin looming, travelled to Bournemouth and back on a school night. Just look at them when Ross scores our consolation!

Classic!
