Africa is dominated by ManU. Asia is dominated by ManU.

No way. I travel through there on occasion and its fricking Man U everywhere. Though I don't want to say my anecdotal experience is superior to yours. I'm just saying I rarely see anything other than Man U stuff.

Don't even need anecdotes. Just check their commercial revenue there. God damn ridiculous.

I wish you were my professor.

Though one of mine showed the Onion news clip about tests being biased against students who don't give a shite which was very funny.

Yeah I watched the whole series from beginning to end a while back. I hardly watch non soccer related tv anymore though. Need to get back into it.

Liverpool tours Asia all the time, United tours Asia as well but it would be nice to see who has been there more.

Then again asians bandwagon the shite out of every and anything

I'm an awful teacher to be honest. Tell those kids what they need to know and then send them packing.

Not really. I picked them because they have the most hardcore fans in the BPL and when I went over there for a game I had the time of my life as Newcastle is a very fun town.


And while we're on the subject an American ManU fan is about as cool as a European deciding to support the Yankees.

You're right, it's like a European deciding to be a Lakers fan

And Honesty I really don't care but if someone is going to start shitting on me for supporting Newcastle, ESPECIALLY a frickin Manchester United fan then I'd be happy to have the conversation of who really has the moral high ground here.

It's a what have you done for me lately game. ManU have won what, 13 league titles in the premier league era when the league became the most popular in the world? That crushes the Yankees or Lakers. CL doesn't mean near as much for world popularity.

Yeah and even 20 years the vast majority wouldn't go with them unless they were as successful as they have been.

Again, I have no issue with ManU or their fans as my OP suggests. But if you want to get into it with me about being a Newcastle fan I'm happy to do so. At least I didn't look at the trophy case when picking my allegiance.

i was tracking until this. The CL is what most people were only able to watch esp in the states.

The celebrations around the world when Chelsea won where actually shocking.

9 year olds are the biggest front runners out there


For the 3rd time, I have no problem with someone supporting ManU. Just don't come after me for picking Newcastle because you really have no leg to stand on as far as purity of intentions.
