Comments :	Dundee United Football Club is a Scottish professional football club located in the city of Dundee. Traditionally, United are nicknamed The Terrors[1] and the supporters known as The Arabs, though the latter has been applied equally to the club in recent times by the sporting media, in favour of the former. The Tangerines (or Tangerine Terrors) is another term occasionally used to describe the club. United currently play in the Scottish Premier League and have been managed by Craig Levein since late October 2006. Eddie Thompson, chairman since September 2002, is the majority shareholder of Dundee United, whilst the supporters, under the guise of ArabTRUST, own the second largest shareholding. In 2005-06, Tannadice attracted an average attendance of 8,197, the sixth-highest average in the SPL. In European competition, United are Scotland's fourth most experienced team, having played 104 matches (six fewer than Aberdeen) over 22 seasons in Europe.
