  1. That's sad, mate.

    I go through phases with it, but always end up excited at the start of every season.

    I'd feel sad if I supported Spurs too.

    Your funniest post for a while, and spot on.
    Another character trait is Armchairapathy whereby they support their beloved team from afar yet ardently, until they fail to spend £400m on players, and then they sulk

    Without sounding too much of a ****...

    You probably wouldn't feel like this if you supported your local team and/or attended matches.

    It's because you're a Utd fan. It's enough to put anybody off football!

    Boring, aren't they?

    The 24/7 football coverage is a buzzkill.

    There are also too many matches on TV.

    Back in day we only had hoop and stick.

    As HIAG pointed out, its because you are a plastic Matth.

    You have no ties to Man United at all.
    Geographically you are miles from them
    You support them because when your brain started to (semi) function, they were winning everything, and it made you feel good to see a club you "support" winning something.

    Now its been 4 years without a league title, its starting to wear thin right?

    Aren't you a Chelsea fan from MK?

    Is the Welshman that much further away from Salford than you are from Fulham?

    I don't know which part of Wales he's from.

    My family is from Battersea
    My Grandad supported Chelsea
    My dad supported Chelsea
    My Uncles all support Chelsea
    My cousins all support Chelsea

    If MK had had a football team when I was born, then maybe i'd have supported them.
    But MK didnt get a team till 2004, I was already 21 by then and had been a Chelsea fan for 10 years.
    I am probably an hour and 20 mins from The Bridge.
