feck off Julia you're not even from round these parts. Tell her @Wumminator! Tell her to piss off back to the States and go support LA Galaxy or something.
@Wumminator
You mention you inherently have a right to love United more because you're from Manchester. However, when @Abdullah7 says he would be delighted if the Qataris took over the club due to his family/clan connections you question his geography
No
I would say its name is due to the club being based in Manchester. I hope you live in Old Trafford or I would say you're a lesser fan.
It was initially not called Manchester United.
Tbf I was correcting grammatical mistakes about three pages ago.Oh now we're at the grammar now. Wow.
You go from bad to worse from page to page.
Is that good enough grammar for you?
Here is what I am saying. I will make it 100% crystal clear.
I got tagged by someone who lives thousands of miles away from Manchester about how happy he is supporting Manchester United now his home town heroes might purchase the club. He is buzzing about this.
I don’t see it as anything to brag about at all. The guy lives thousands of miles from the game. He has plenty of local teams he could watch and support. I 100% don’t get the supporting of a team you can’t watch. That’s not xenophobic. That’s what I believe. I don’t get cockneys who support United or Scousers that support United.
For me, your football club is one that is nearby or potentiallypassed on by someone in your family. It’s a way of life that you and people like you go to watch the local match.When some posters enjoy their local team buying a club, some posters enjoy their local team scoring a goal.
I KNOW this means I would alienate a large chunk of our fanbase. I genuinely don’t care. Of course you can support the team from wherever, it is just odd to me.
EDIT: and because of my romantic views of football, I don’t want a regime with thousands of deaths on their hands with anythhing to do with my club. I don’t want a regime with misogynistic, homophobic and hateful laws taking over the club. I would rather not win anything than win something that has been tainted through a morally dubious regime.
So dyslexics don't get to have a go?![]()

So if Manchester United moved to Charlton tomorrow it would be the same club?
So if you, for some reason, need to move to Italy, will you become a lesser supporter of the club?
Do mistakes in English, which is not my first language of course, make me a lesser fan?Tbf I was correcting grammatical mistakes about three pages ago.
Fyi She was born in Atlanta. So she has to support Atlanta United only.
No, it makes you a lesser humanDo mistakes in English, which is not my first language of course, make me a lesser fan?

What has dyslexia got to do with bad grammar?With every poster that goes against me in this thread I look more obviously right.

Oh so you cant possibly support 2 teams. I get it.No you supporting literally two teams does. I thought we’d covered this.
They're all lesser fans cause they havent been born in Manchester, obviously.The irony is that the club's key employees; past or present are mainly foreign -- the managers (Scottish, Norweigian, German to Dutch with a couple of English ones), current or past players; the break-out star, Ganarcho ... doesn't exactly like he sound like he's from Moss Side.
This whole top, top-fan argument is just silly.

We havent covered anything.
What?No, it makes you a lesser human![]()

Go to games > fund Glazers > Glazers milk the club dry > Sells club > Qatar buys
Wumminator helped Qatar owned United. Which I kinda appreciate
Oh right, Wumminator says you can't so.I mean… no? You can’t?
Thanks for popping in. Say Hi to Barbara and the kids.*Sees this thread bumped with like 10 new pages*
Me: Oh my gosh, somethings happening, it has to be!!
*Opens thread... reads through a couple of pages... knows what the rest of the pages are going to look like... rolls eyes... closes thread*
Oh right, Wumminator says you can't so.
Wumminator's law: The intensity of emotion you feel is inversely proportional to the distance from the entity you feel the emotion for.
Sure mate. Whatever rocks your boat.I can’t believe I’m having to explain why supporting two clubs isn’t the done thing.
You absolutely can not have the posterchild in this thread for “foreign fans mean just as much as local fans” then transpire to support another club in his home town as well.
You seem like a nice poster but you literally make my point.
We're talking about Qatar.I'm sure many of us don't want our own countries to buy any football club at all because we don't think that's the sort of thing our country should be focusing or spending money on. I'd actually wince if my country (well I have 2 but either really) tried to buy one, here we are privatizing railways, electricity, airports, all sorts of other infrastructure, but lets have our government run a football club (not even in our own country!)...
This thread shows that it's a contentious topic but in my book football clubs come from a place, a community, they have a heritage. And being a fan of a club to some extent comes with supporting that, even if you aren't from there, or only get to go there once a decade or so. I don't really buy into anyone being a lesser fan or the better fan, we're all just fans. But it's not like a football club is like any other kind of commodity either.
They're all lesser fans cause they havent been born in Manchester, obviously.
Even some of the players are lesser fans than some of the posters on here.Thats incorrect. You have to be born in Manchester and live less than 1 mile from the club. Otherwise you are a lesser fan.
Got curious now who is the biggest fan we have amongst the players (born closest to OT).Even some of the players are lesser fans than some of the posters on here.
What if you're born in London but move to Manchester?Thats incorrect. You have to be born in Manchester and live less than 1 mile from the club. Otherwise you are a lesser fan.
Fecking hell I had 10 new pages and thought that something had happened. What a waste of time.
