Don't you think there is rational distinction between being an alumnus of an institution versus being a fan?

There are shares available for that publicly traded company if fanboys want to be a part of the Mourinho magic.

P.S. Your post is a bit stalkery.


Unless you also played on the team while in school

no, I don’t see much difference.

I thought it was a really weird thing to call out the poster for, and it took 15 seconds to see if you’d done the same over on Rocks. Maybe next time don’t make it so obvious.


Unless the distinction is how most rational people think.

Why wouldn't I make it "obvious?"

Moreover, it's a site dedicated to Notre Dame (and specifically ND football as to Rock's House). I'm simply perplexed as to why anyone would reference "we" when it comes to talking about Man U on this board.

Oh, and F Man U.


I’ll look for similar posts from you responding to all the

sub alums on Rocks who use “we.”


I'm sure you will. You seem like that kind of guy.

In case I have not made myself clear, I'll lay it out there for your clearly.

1. My reference to Notre Dame (yes, including the football team) as "we" is well-founded in logic insofar as I have and continue to be a part of Notre Dame as most anyone that has attended the school. Although there are exceptions for those that actually do not feel a part of the school. Nonetheless, my reference to Notre Dame is a rather prevailing though.

2. My acceptance of Notre Dame sub-alums as "we" is one of both tolerance in everyday life and even more so on a Notre Dame fan website.

3. Discussing a completely unrelated entity and doing so on a Notre Dame site as "we" is just weird.

4. The burden of proof is on all Man U fans to rebut the presumption that they are douchey bandwagon fanboys.


So your problem is with the use of "we" on this board

in reference to a team not affiliated with Notre Dame? It's weird, as you say. Is that right?


I literally just laid it out for you. *

Then I'm sure, because of your great concern over the use

of the word "we" in relation to non-ND entities on this board, that you'll go back and edit your own post at the link. Or, maybe I need to congratulate you on your national team cap and near-4th place finish.

Or, instead of your shifting, transparent excuses, you could've just admitted early on that you were only being an asshole because the poster is a ManU fan.


I'm not sure you've actually read my posts in this thread.

But apparently you went digging through lots of my old ones.

Also not weird at all. Not. At. All.


Based on your shifting excuses

you seem unsure about a lot.

The search function is at the top of every NDNation page, available to every poster. You shouldn't be surprised to get called out when you double down on acting like an asshole.
