You know Jaz,
I can def. understand your points but I can't help it if I've been a fan of these clubs for about 15-20 yrs. now it's just the way it's been.

I've talked to lots of people and no ones ever cared.

I personally just see it as the teams I've always supported.

For me I can't see them live at Old Trafford but waking up so early to catch them live on the telie is just like being there for me. I know most of the chants and songs I have them printed out. I sing them out loud and just enjoy the games like I was there.

The jerseys videos and all is just the way I show everyone else where I stand.
