To the first part, no you are not.
And to the second part, with the way you behave on here every United fan in the world is superior to you.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

And to the second part, with the way you behave on here every United fan in the world is superior to you.
Nobody is disputing that.
What people are disputing is him taking shit on all the fans abroad.
Let's see. I'm around 6800 miles away from Manchester. The points I get is minimal I think.
You get 2 points at most.
Kiwi United fans would get 0.
They aren’t though.
I’m still a season ticket holder and a “local lad” originally, though my brother uses it for most games now. Since I moved to Sweden I’m absolutely not as much as fan as the lads who go most weeks, and especially not as those who go home and away. That’s just obvious.
Our most important fans are always going to be the core local support.
Then we have a bunch of Southern and Irish fans who are absolutely brilliant and committed, but the second you start moving further afield, as with myself now, no you aren’t as important.
I think many would dispute that. Although it’s not that important in the grand scheme of things. That’s something else I find weird. The way so many people get incredibly worked up that there might be fans who are more connected and/or do more to support the club than they do. Who cares?!?
How am I taking a shit on them?
It's actually the other way round. What is really REALLY weird is people like that WUM account that come on here to point out how much more important they are than others. Now that is really weird. Bit sad also.
Just as fan not as much as fan.
There's a difference. Of course local fans are more involved and more important.
Guy said he's superior.
That sounds... Well. Wrong.
That’s weird too. Although I put it down to him getting emotional about the prospect of Qatari ownership (which I understand) and lashing out at people getting excited about it (which I also understand) He doesn’t come out it all looking well though.
You should keep track of what you're saying.
This is all fair enough, and I agree. For me it's his terminology that pissed me off, saying he's a superior fan. It's just bollocks. As I said I've been a fan for 30 years, but I just can't get over to games like I did in my 20s, I just don't have the money anymore, that doesn't mean I'm a less 'superior' fan.
When on Earth did I do this?
This whole thing started because someone who supported a murderous regime taking over my club tagged me to wind me up.
I then pointed out to him he can be happy his favourite murderous anti gay regime are taking over our club, but he’ll never experience supporting United as I have.
He's gone on with it for too long to put it down to an emotional outburst.
I can’t get to games as much as I like either.
I’m skint!
If it’s any consolation - you are also a superior fan to people who have never been tk the games and support from thousands of miles away.
TBF - I then have people posting absolute drivel at me so I had to respond.
Bollocks. How the hell does it make it more rewarding to be from the country the club is in? So every foreign supporter can’t have the same satisfaction? Lame back track effort.
You tried to mock the guy by bringing the fact he lives in a different country - like that really matters? Wtf has that got to do with any conversation?
You’ve spewed a lot of shite in this thread in general sitting on your high horse trying to take the moral high ground while stooping down to try and have a cheap dig at the other poster for being a foreigner. Let’s be honest, your issue with Qatari owners is because they are foreign right?
I think Wumminator is probably on the wind up.
He he. I'm skint too.
How does it make it more rewarding… to support a club from the same country?
fecking hell. Is that not obvious?
My issue with Qatar is (like most people up until this bid) I think they’re a disgusting regime with blood on their hands and repressive laws. I genuinely couldn’t give a shit which country the owners are from as long as they’re not… evil.
Maybe some fans from thousands miles away dont have money to go to games?
I guess the more money you have you're more superior to others, amIrite?
It definitely would. Where are you from? I’m from Dublin, in Ireland. It would 100% have felt more rewarding to be watching a team called Dublin United win all those trophies over the years.
Still felt rewarding as hell, mind you. So it’s all good.
Oh look, there it is again.
Exactly this.
Are you stupid? Why does the fact someone is from a different country make it more or less rewarding? You are talking utter nonsense. So the maximum reward is only for those that live within the postcode of the club?
You did it twice within the last two pages? I'm not even arguing the point that local fans are obviously hugely important. How freaking obvious can it get. But to feel the need to point this out in the manner you did is childish.
If United won the Prem this year - where would you most like to be in the world at that moment?
Oh look, let’s ignore the original point because its someone that sides with your argument. Don’t be a cucumber.
Some drivel yes but most was justified. What you could have done is let it go or own up that the way you put this was over the top. Instead you decided to make an even bigger ass out of yourself. And I must know as I've been there more than once during my 15 years on this board. So leave this thread be man. There's not much we can do about the situation anyway. I think Qatar are nailed on to buy United.
They don’t have the money because it would be financially irresponsible to travel once a week to see a team thousands of miles away.
Some fantastic relevant points made regarding the sale. I'm glad I come here for updates. Well done. Let me know when you've decided who the best fan is.
The completely normal and okay point that you made of accusing someone of being a racist?
Fair enough. I guess I’ll have to take the accusations of xenophobia and racism on the chin because I think it’s important to support a local team.
Wow, you’re actually making an incredibly lame effort to swindle out of it.
I think most people agree with that. It's just that the posts from that guy are always negatively aimed towards our international fans and typically have some stupid childish remarks about "FIFA players" and whatnot, and always looks like it was posted by a xenophobic. It probably stems from his inability to understand how can someone support a club living thousands of miles away when they have local clubs to choose from, as he himself said. Trying to understand it would maybe help to broaden the perspective a bit.
And where would that be exactly?
No, they dont have money to visit games more than lets say once in 3 years.
Beggars.
Probably Merseyside
I do think everyone would enjoy football more if they went to local clubs and watched them regularly.
@Wumminator will make a list.
