And here I was thinking our resident glory-hunter had stopped following football altogether after the most recent struggles of Manure...

Glory hunter? He supports the Red Bulls. That's the exact opposite of a glory hunter.

No, people apply the glory hunter to anyone that supports Man United if they aren't from Manchester (or if they didn't have a parent who was a Man U supporter, who raised them to be one), or started supporting them between 1992 and 2013.

So basically people unaware of the invention called television, and that on this invention they show shows?

Don't be silly. You transatlantic types and your insistant ignorance of sporting history... just because the NFL has decided that everyone who won the league in the pre-Superbowl era didn't actually win shit all, doesn't mean everyone else has erase their history every couple of decades. League titles won before the Premier League started not only still count, they are arguably more valuable than Prem titles. Because the old Football League was a league about football, and the Premier league is a financial investment contest.

 

In the 80s, people who weren't from Merseyside and supported Liverpool were getting called Glory Hunters. If you started supporting The Red Devils when Ron Atkinson were manager, you weren't in it for the glory. You were just some sort of satanist or something.
