I don't know about any Cannons/baseball analogies but did anyone thik that
the suggestion that the Tutshill Tornadoes fans all suddenly started
supporting them when they started winning was an analogy to Man Utd?
(which isn't to say that *all* Man Utd fans only support them because they
re successful before anyone starts explaining how their family have
supported them for generations)
But the steroetypical Man Utd fan is someone from anywhere but Manchester
who has no links to Manchester or the players or any other reason to support
the team *other* than the fact that they're terribly successful

*of course I'm posting from the perspective of a Norwich City fan*
(at least our food's better than yours ....)
