Actually put it this way, I was born in Gateshead, right? So am I meant to support Gateshead FC who are at the moment, lingering in the Unibond league.
So if I was a geordie, I would want more entertaining football, I know, let's support Newcastle because they are in the top flight of british football. So that's basically the same as glory hunting because Newcastle are in the top flight.
I chose Manchester United because they play exciting football and in that respect, they play entertaining and exciting football and manage to achieve things along the way (ie. trophies).
At the end of the day, I am a Man United fan and supporter, I've been to their games and watched them, I am happy and I have made my bed and I intend and I will support Man United till the day I die, I am proud of being a Man United supporter, just like yous are proud of being Newcastle supporters.
