what !!? hhh .. ok .. tell me why you are supporting chelsea first? bcz i think you are hallucinating here PLS tell me why you started supporting chelsea
no because that's not glory hunting because I am from a nearby area. It'd be fairly hypocritical of me to tell you off for not being from manc if I wasn't.
At what point does it become glory hunting then? If someone from France chose to support Nottingham Forest right now, and by some miracle they ended up dominating English football for the next two decades, would that make them a glory hunter? After all, they could obviously only choose the club based on its past glory of winning the European Cup...
he said United were winning nothing when he started supporting them, you were still one of the world's biggest clubs with plenty of league titles, fa cups and a european cup to boot. still believe people should support their local club on some level though.
hhh supporting a local club is not your choice but your dad choice when decided to relocate to that location .. nothing fancy or special here .. is kind like arranged marriage .. not your choice but parents choice.. I bet it is better than falling in love with the right girl and more charming
no, my dad is also from the same area and also a Chelsea fan. You will never have had the privileges and match day traditions I had as a kid because you are from nowhere near Manchester.
I see what you're saying, but ultimately supporting a club is an emotional decision. It doesn't make you a glory hunter if you happen to develop a connection to a club that happens to be successful. My daughter was born in Moscow and we now live near Aberdeen. Does that mean she has to follow Spartak and Aberdeen forever, even if her and I don't really give a **** about either of them? Will she be a glory hunter if I bring her up to support Utd purely because that is the club I have always supported? I would say it makes you more of a plastic if you latch onto your local club, but have no real emotional connection. Like some of the City fans who have suddenly crawled out of the woodwork and claimed they're lifelong fans who always lived in Manchester, despite the fact that up until five years ago they never went to a match, watched on TV and barely knew how the club were doing or who played for them.
That, tbh, is an attitude I don't really like. Clubs like Chelsea and Utd have millions of fans all round the world, and only a small proportion get the experience the privileges and match day traditions that come from living near the ground. Doesn't, imo, make them any more passionate than fans who live further away but support their team just a strongly. Also raises the question - had Chelsea been some ****ty little non league club playing in the conference when you and your dad were growing up, would you still be a Chelsea fan?
It's not so much where you're born, my point is where you've grown up. Your daughter has a right to support United because you do and you are a local fan, I will do the same with my kids but I'd still bring them up to cheer on their local side aswell.
Well people like my Dad have seen Chelsea relegated, years without trophies and still spent well earned money to go to games and then for a person with no ties to the club i.e. foreign fans, who probably hadn't heard of us pre-97, to come when we suddenly win a league leaves the thought 'where were you when we were ****?'. By the way I wasn't having a dig at shwan with that comment about match day experience, was just saying you miss out on that by not supporting your local team. That's what I loved best about supporting my local side. As for your last comment, quite ignorant and not a question anyone can answer really.
Drog's, I get your point, but here's my conundrum. My dad was in the RAF meaning we moved all over England and Europe every couple of years? An I'll be damned if I'm gonna support Borussia Monchengladbach!
Nice of Drogs to take pity on those who missed out on the experience of growing up as a match going fan. Now your charity work here is done how about spreading the sympathy to your own teams fans, millions of whom live in Africa. Maybe you can get your club to stop the regular pre season tours to the USA and Asia as they're only depriving people of the chance to have a proper upbringing and support a real club.
Oh im sorry, am I distracting you from your discussion about how Rio Ferdinand deserved to have coins chucked at him? http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/183757-City-fans-vs-Rio-****inand I swear you, Yurilly and DL intentionally act like twats just to still feel relevant, but sadly you still aren't. Stay classy Chelsea fans
Hmmmm. Im so boring, yet you keep coming here and responding? Either I am really interesting and you just lack an intelligent comeback or you're to stupid to realize you can just **** off and not come here. nom nom nom, thats the sound of you biting.
