I'm aware of that, but plenty of MUFC supporters use the term as a default
defense, whether it's appropriate or not, and that's just plain lazy.

A typical arsehole quite frankly. Why the bloke don't follow a club
closer to home is beyond my comprehension.

I think the general idea was that Fergie expected him to take on the
role that Cantona had with the club. I can see what he was trying to
do but it has not worked out with this fellow.

London's an easy flight from the Isle of Man and when I saw EPL matches while
back home in the States, invariably Arsenal were involved.

Why you don't follow a club whose fanbase suits your wanna-be pseudo-thug
behavior is anyone's guess.
