    I'm a jock :) My mum's half of the family are Gooners, hence my support.

    Unlucky Trent!!

    You want to support the only Edinburgh Team worth considering - and they play at Tynecastle ;)
    Hearts are my Dads team - he's from Edinburgh, and I follow them, in addition to Shef Utd. as my hometeam, and the Arsenal.

    I think you're hedging your bets supporting so many teams.You're just hoping one of them wins a trophy.

    I take your point, and refer you to the names of the teams that I follow. Chances of success? Remote!! Though Hearts did win the Scottish Cup last year :D And then the team was quickly completely demolished by Crazy Vlad ;)

    am a UTD fans since 78, and proud of it .. it need a special club with a great history to make you fall in love when you live far away at a time when the club was actually winning nothing .. in contrast you guys who are supporting the club just bcz it is just the one nearby, do you think it was your choice ? sure not.. bcz if you were living nearby tottenham or liverpool, you would had been supporting another club .. so basically it was not your choice but your parents choice to live in that location that turn you into an arsenal supporter... what a charming story !!!

    tbh if it wasn't for me being a UTD fan long time ago before AW arrival, i have to admit I could had been an arsenal supporter like all my french mates

    Yet another plastic Manc who knows **** all about the history of their club.Do some research and you'll find Stretford actually won the FA Cup in 1977.

    Your original quote was that you became a Stretford fan when they were winning nothing.I just pointed out that they won the FA Cup in 1977.They also won the 2nd Division in 1975.

    At one time winning the FA Cup was treated on a par to being champions.People always mention the Stanley Mathews cup final but never mention he never won a league champions medal

    hhh .. ok let us swap positions
    why you started supporting Arsenal? bcz i can use exactly the same argument of yours to prove you are a glory hunter !!! Arsenal did win cups and titles over past years .. so i must conclude then you are a glory hunter then .. right? <doh>
