Martin:
Not to worry. Michael's words are persuasive, and as a yank watching this from afar ManU just seems to get the most pub, so I know more about them.... and also as I say, my friends' devotion to Arsenal makes me want to root for ManU just to spite them....
But I remembered that Mr. Huntley favors Chelsea... so figured there must be great worth there....
Then more importantly I realized that one kinda has to be born to one side or another, and it's silly for me to try to "adopt" any.
So in terms of allegiance, I guess I'll stick to two teams I can definitely have an affinity for:
The beloved San Jose Earthquakes, in our fledgling MLS; and
The squabbling over money US National team.
You can't fault me for either of those, can you? Cuz I REALLY like that cap....

ps - when leaving Glasgow last time over, I was faced with all sorts of football gear... wanted to buy some for my kids... I bought them Rangers shirts and got Celtic for myself. Sounds suicidal? Well... I am Catholic and my wife is Presyterian... so you can guess how the kids go...
