I can't help feeling irritated by one of today's aproved entries...
( http://www.h2g2.com/A110359 )
I've now identified the line that really irritated me as
"But, everywhere you go in the world, excluding probably Manchester and Liverpool, you're bound to run into United fans" - its offensive to my friends in Manchester who support united, a sweeping generalisation. I don't *want* to seem/be so humourless...... but I don't think its appropriate.

Living in Manchester, and having a family who originate from Salford and all support Manchester United passionately, I agree with you. People are always ranting about where Manchester United fans come from, they seem to forget the faithful fans who come from the region. It seems a bit like sour grapes to me; I can't remember them saying stuff like that during the eighties when Man Utd weren't doing so well, but my uncles etc. were still going to every match.


I agree
