first he startde of with madrid and rang me up and startde with the taunts when ronaldo hit that hattrick at OT
then he became a madrid fan for la liga and arse fan for the EPl after arse went unbeaten and again went off taunting me
then now he supports madrid but is amazed by barca
and now while he supports arsenal
he goes on about how chelsea kicked our backside at OT
en all
and when i spoke to him about the 4-2 win at highbury he has just one answer that eventually chelsea won it and arse were second
so He is the one true ABU i have seen here
regarding the merchandise i doubt you would get authentic stuff here in India
most of the people who have orignal United Kits have got them from their foreign trips others are just expensive clones
by the where in bombay do you stay
if you still want a Kit which will not be orignal but is a good clone you can go to FUNKY's at Pali hill , Bandra
But i never buy united kits coz i don't believe in keeping fake kits
If i can get my hands on an orignbnal kit then i would love to have it but Somehow fake kits put me off
You can also get United stickers (for your car, helmets) Keychains etc there

I stay in Chembur, and Bandra is around a half-an-hour drive from my place. Still would pass on the the good clone merchandize, yet I have heard people claim to have brought United stuff from Nike outlets. Would rathar look at it as one of the positives with Glazer's takeover that we don't get them here .
Very true on those kinds of glory hunters, as I have seen people cheer for Milan in the first half and the dippers in the second too.
The closest that India has come to United is when Sir Bobby Charlton came on a trip to Lonavala recently when he made a short visit to do some charity work. We have had Nial Quinn visit Calcutta for the same cause too, although never liked him much after the previous world cup.
