I don't buy fakes nor do I condone it. But someone please let me know which stupid ass rulebook says if you buy fakes, you don't really support your club or anything along those lines??

Financial stability or the fact that you're able to buy official club stuff isnt the only thing that render you a proper fan you know??

I had sort of a debate with a notorious fan on here last time, who proudly claims he supports United, Liverpool and Arsenal. When confronted, his argument was...."At least I buy original club merchandise from all 3 clubs"....Yeah. as if that matters.

Yeah, i have no issues about that Steven. Whether we like it or not though, cost is a major, major factor in whether one buys and original kit now. I'm now in a situation where I can afford to buy proper, original kits and only started in 2007. And thanks to Faiz, I am somewhat an avid collector now (United or United related only though).

I just don't like those smart ass comments in the previous page by some posters about how one is not a die hard fan, because he doesn't buy official product. Hell, I do know a fair few regular matchgoers in the UK who just do not bother buying original kits but only knockoffs as it is way cheaper than the proper shirt and they don't really care or go into detail in regards to the shirts like we do though. Still, they go to plenty of games. Each to their own.

But to label someone as not a proper fan, because he doesn't buy proper shirts, is a bit stupid in my opinion.

A story, during my trip over there. I was lucky enough to be in the company of some very, very regular matchgoers. Not only EPL games, but they make the European games as well, usually in group. One of the regulars in this trip, is an avid fan of United kits while the others, they never buy them and is of the opinion that kits are not for adults to wear. They constantly mock him, often jokingly though. Doesn't make them any less of a fan nor is the guy wearing the shirts any bigger fan then they are because I know they are the sorts of fans who does nothing but back the team and support them whenever they get the chance, often taking several type of transport to get from point A to point B, minimizing their cost so as to not make that thair only one and only European trip fo the season. Hell, I even know they got a Turkish trip planned for the Bursa game and one of the legs consist of a packed rented 28 seater minibus.

Anyways, after babbling for a bit my point is...the guy pointing out that person A is not a proper fan because he doesnt buy official products, clearly has no grasp of what being a fan is about.

Not easy though right to get those silver NN's?? If I can somehow score Park's or Pique's silver NN I would like to apply that on my shirt. Just recently managed to snag one LS shirt. Was thinking to slap Pique 19 on it.

Meh have not even come across those NN's I mentioned, considering I want to get somewhat weird ones like Pique and Park. Wose comes to worse I will probably just get Pique in PL NN's. Ive already stuck Nani 17 silver NN's on my SS one.

keh keh keh...

kaka_89 doesn't know who's leg he's trying to pull here doesn't he?? Questioning chcher's knowledge on football shirts. Hah!

The utterly crappy stitching on the inside of the United crest>?? isn't that enough to prove it's fake?? I mean mine is nicely stitched up.

As with Ronaldo, I have no question about his past contributions to the club. But the current going ons and how disrespectful it is, he can piss of really. Stupid cnut who deserves none of my respect, to hell with his past contributions. his action these past few days renders his contribution useless. lack of respect shown and a cnut of an agent to boot. I don't have any respect for players who disrespects my club. I got some of my best and fully patched up kits with Rooney, not going to wear them anymore though. like my Tevez's one.

I stay off the MUST thread these days Brendan. Too many immature kids for my liking who only sing when we're winning and a mod who has his modship so far up his ass. Saw that post by Rose so I commented on that as I had the same issue with my Tevez kit. It's kept in my cupboard, unused after the bullcrap with him. Now the ungrateful prick Rooney.

I just choose to stay off it Aaron, rather than get irritated. Much rather a discussion with rival fans these days than a foray into MUST.

Meh....Brendan, show off your pic with Nani and the gaffer.
