The fact it says Edinburgh next to your location meant there was a decent possibility you could have been Scottish. I'm I the only one who sees that logic? Also I know a few Scottish lads who support United as their second team. Saying that, almost every United fan I know seems to live anywhere other than Manchester. I couldn't possibly think why that is lol.

In that case how about we compare the Lee Bower and Kieron Dyer bust up when playing for Newcastle? Actually lets not because no doubt you haven't seen that incident either. (Bet you'd still have an opinion on it though).

I could have sworn I explained to you in my second to last post that Rafa said after the game he was disappointed that the players didn't show character in another/different way. Is that not considered to be criticism? Honestly, I still think you're making something out of nothing unless you just enjoy the banter or gettin kicks out of winding rival fans up lol.
