Once again, Arsenal are my local team. How can I glory hunt my local team? That makes absolutely no sense. It probably takes me less time to get to Emirates from my house in London then it does for you to get to college/work. I fail to see how me supporting my local club can even remotely make me a glory hunter just because they are successful. Maybe if I was from near Spurs and I supported Arsenal, you could say that but Im from the North West side of London not the North East.
You didnt "jump" as you put it because no one is gonna stop supporting a team in 3 years and in those 3 years, Man United were still in the top 3, still won a league cup and a FA cup in that time. They hardly did a Leeds did they? and answer me this, would you still support Man United if they did a Leeds and went down 2 divisions to League 1? Probably not. So in that time, just because they didnt win a league title in 3 years, they hardly fell off the face of the earth, did they? Thats one of the most stupid excuses Ive probably ever heard.
and also, by your logic, I should have stopped supporting Arsenal 3 years ago but here we are....
and again you use the local team factor..If I happen to be born in Manchester and I started to support United when they won the league, that gives me an exception of not becoming a glory hunter? If geography determines what team one should support rather than the passion they have for the team, then you need to brush up your common sense.
Sorry but winning a league cup and FA cup isn't TOO much of a success when you are Manchester United, and like I said Chelsea were poised to dominate English football, destined to win leagues year by year with the arrival of Drogba, Essien, Ballack, Shevchenko and your very own Cashley Cole just to name a few..It's the very same as Citeh now as you can see from their increasing number of fanbase around the world ever since Thaksin took charge...Or a situation like my friend where he started following English football 5 years ago and when Chelsea won then he decided he should support them..Now that's glory hunting, and very different from my situation as I've had no knowledge on money power when I start watching and supporting United..And just to add by that time the league was hardly done nor I do know how many titles they won before..And I will say this once again, if it wasn't Man Utd football, those Beckham set pieces and Scholes volleys made me fall in love with football, I wouldnt be here right now..Yet you seemed confident that everyone who supports United that time including me were because of their past glory..I would have opted for Liverpool, Leeds or even Forest based on your logic
You asked me a question and then answered it yourself, how fked up is that

Not gonna reply any of your comments with your one-dimensional mentality being "he's not from Manchester and he supports United, must be a glory hunter!"
