[United Forever]

Yo. I am Brian. I am 13 Years Old. I have an obsession with cricket and football and also with trolling on the pool boards. I am considered as a freak for football and know alot about. This is my first time posting for the week because of school!

I'm Brian, and I'm 27 from Salt Lake. I live here with my wife and we have a 1 year old daughter. I do investigation for an insurance company :(. I been a soccer fan most of my life, but I didn't start following United until 2001, when I finally got cable and the Champions League started getting more coverage on ESPN. I was impressed with Van Nistelrooy started catching every United match I could. My support for the club grew from there as I started learning more about the club, history, players, etc. I've been a long time reader here, but I rarely post much. I enjoy reading MOST :) of your thoughts, and maybe I'll start making more posts.


GO UNITED!!!

Cool :cool: . Same first name and twice as ols as me :D

[Unorthodox Yank]

I'm Alex, I'm 17, and im currently in High School, hoping for acceptance to either USC (reaching) , Syracuse (kind of reaching) , or Emerson (not really reaching) . I play soccer on a rec team, but I'm really not all that good. I watch my ManU games at home because theres no good place to do it in KC.


Update:

I'm still Alex.

I'm 18.

Through an extremely complex series of events, I was rejected at every single place I applied in the US, yet still managed to land here at King's College London.

However, i am currently living out of a hotel room and a rental car with my dad until i can find a more permanent place to live.

Due to all this crazienss, i havent had much time for football of any kind - watching or playing. I think I've seen United in action maybe twice or thrice this whole year, including preseason. Hopefully, once i get settled, i'll be seeing alot more of them.


that's my (updated) story and I'm stickin to it.

until i have to update it again.

[Nicky Butt]

Mid 30s. Live in Jersey (but I am from CT). Started watching Man Utd games three years ago when the YES network was showing Premiership games. Got hooked. YES no longer telecasts Man Utd but fortunately my cable network now carries Fox Sports World and GOL TV.

Played youth soccer and on the freshmen team in high school. Was not very good, too slow and didn't really know what I was doing.

Went to the ChumpWorld tour last summer and this summer. The Man Utd/Juventus game in 2003 at Giants Stadium was probably the greatest sporting event I have ever attended. The juice in the stadium was ridiculous.
Saw Man Utd play Celtic and AC Milan this year, not quite as good as '03.

My wife said I can go to World Cup in '06, but we'll see how true that it as it gets closer.

Nicky, Nicky, Nicky...we must go to WC '06, after all it is in the homeland...

Oh...I think the juice this year at Chumpworld was in the SoCo.... :cool:

[johno]

I'm Jonathan, Lincoln University, PA Junior. Play on their team. Like all sports, desire to become a Sports Journalist. Born in Trinidad and Tobago!!!

Wow... after reading through the thread again, I realized I had not put enough about me into it, certainly not compared to some of you guys... ok, so here goes..

I am 21. Now a Senior and not on the team anymore (time conflicts) but I still cover many/most of their games for the School news paper... We were the D.III Eastern Confernce Champs 2 years running (I was there for the horrid season before the Championships and the Championships, yeah!).

I am left-footed, but my right is not a walking stick. I started off as an attackingmidfielder (at 5) then stopped playing around 10 when I restarted I played center back or leftback if the opposition was slow enough. With the graduation of our 6'6'' 'keeper me being the next tallest (and having done it while growing up and possesing good instincts and reflexes) at 6'3'' became the starting GK. It was a good position move for me, a bit borring at times since we crushed a lot of teams, but nothing beats starting the second half at attacking midfield after starting the first in the goal... nothing except a United win that is...


Ok, sidenote...

I decided 4 days prior to the United vs. Pool match that I would not shave until after the game because I wanted to see the unshaved Keane (bad @ss who makes hard tackles) he was shaved for the match but it did not matter he had a dmoinant performance and we won. So naturally I stopped shaving again 3 or 4 days prior to the Spurs match. Low and behold, we won the game. I am sporting a beard (if u can call it that, I just look unshaven because I'm black and alot of us dont grow hair as much as our caucasion brothers) for this match... Glory Glory United.

The juice was definitely in the SoCo, unfortunately for me.

If anyone has a tape of the AC Milan game let me know, my memory is a little fuzzy.

They call me Mac

When I read this recently, I realized for the first time that your moniker should be read as Mac Howard. I had always read it as "macho ward." I wasn't sure exactly what a macho ward was; perhaps it was a place a bunch of tough ex-footballers hung out. Anyway, I thought you might find some humor in this, Mac. :)

That is funny... I would be willing to wager that you are the only one on the boards who thought that... well, it gave me a laugh... macho ward.. lol... good stuff, and good of you to let us know...

[Mac_Howard]

You're not the first to read it as macho ward, soccerholic - a couple of years ago I was involved in a flame war when a moderator thought I had used the name to stimulate argument :)

But Mac Howard it is (I think some guys on here realised that when I spoke of Tim Howard as my namesake).

[prk166]

A friend of mine doomed me in the early 90s when picking up a jersey on a trip to England. I figured I'd support whomever it was. Well, I shouldn't say doomed. If he would've picked up Grimsby's jersey, I would've been doomed.

:)

Forgot to add that I'm 31, have visited Coach's blog, occasionally scratch myself, like beer and wine, I am caught randomly saying "oooh, aahhh, Cantona" on dates with chicas, and would love any feedback on moving to Denver, Salt Lake City or Boise.

Nah, I thought the same until he made a post a while ago saying it was actually Mac Howard. Ironically I figured his name was "Ward" (as in Cleaver) and he just had a high opinion of himself. ;)

This is precisely why i dont bet. :D

Well, don't let the fact it's Mac Howard convince you that I haven't ;)

I hope you don't mind, but I'll always think of you as "macho ward." I think it's a pretty cool moniker, actually. :)

Ok, well I've read this forum every day for over a year, but rarely post -- mainly because as a relatively new fan of the sport I don't feel as knowledgable as many of you MANUTD-heads. Also this IS somewhat of a "macho ward", guys (and I mean that in a good way!), so as a lady, I feel it's usually better to just let boys be boys and watch from the sidelines. In this case, however, I thought I'd say hello.

That being said, I am a 26 year old grad student / English teacher at the University of Florida. I have survived 3 hurricanes this month alone. My fiance lives in Milan Italy, and I miss him terribly. I am marathon runner, but have never seriously played soccer. Fell in love with watching the sport during the 2002 World Cup (my roommate at the time had a hacker friend who unlocked his PPV -- we stayed up every night watching the games for free. . . shhhh!! ). Anyway, I thought football was just about the most beautiful thing I'd seen, and started watching like a mad woman. Fell into loving Manutd because I watched RvN score some amazing goals in the Spring of 2002, and got into the red devils fever. I'm afflicted and there's no cure in sight. . .

I really enjoy this forum; I read it a couple times a week, and it always gets me ready for the game. It's been nice to read about everyone. Ciao!

Er, oops . . . Spring of 2003, of course. ;)

How many marriage proposals have you received in your PM already? lol
