7 closer clubs..... not everyone supports a premier league club since not everyone is a glory hunter like yourself.

brb no local pride

[SiberianExpress]

And no, because most fans of 'local' clubs, live in different towns/cities to the one that club is based in. And often they don't know the city too well, so there's no real connection there at all. It's a joke. Lulz.

Lol at criticising people for making assumptions and then posting a bunch of assumptions. What respected journal are you sourcing these "facts" from?

The fact of life, son.

If you had to be local (live in the city of the actual club) to support that club, then 90% of England would not have PL supporters. Do you even geography?

[Wallhart5]

Surely only I know whether that's true or not? Again, more assumptions. Doesn't surprise me, you are after all a UK miscer.

I feel sorry for you if you think all PL clubs 99% of the fans live IN the city the club is in. Sad. 15% would be generous, extremely generous.

Has nothing to do with you being a fan of utd. It's to do with you slagging teams off when you chose utd, like most other utd fans, because they were successful. Just how there is an awful lot of older Liverpool fans and why there are a lot more Chelsea fans and in the future city fans. No one is saying you don't love utd.

30 mins drive is a lot more local than Suffolk to Manchester.

Most people support PL teams, because games below it are mostly boring as phuck.

Keep deluding yourself.

I'd rather watch world class.

Touchy. I didn't know you had to be a **** team in the tables before you gained a right to bitch about another team's failures.

I hit it off with US brahs on here a lot more.

[NattyGains]

Go to PL table.

Count the teams, assign them to city they are based in.

Go to wikipedia, look up cities in England.

Look populations of PL club cities.

Look up cities of non-PL club cities.

Add them up.

Work out percentage.

Get back to me.

Do same for towns and villages.

Do you even mathematics?

[talik]

You are insane :O

Also I wouldn't hate on you unless you were such a phucking idiot.
Bashing other PL teams all the phucking team and can't handle being called a glory hunter, soft spot much?
Grow the phuck, go hit the gym or something to loosen that agression *******. I doubt those 230 lbs are all muscles.

Fascinating. Btw all your comments to other people ITT about picking a "****" team make no impact as they're from a glory hunter. It's like using cheat codes in a game and then bragging because you won.

[NattyGains]

Cliffs of thread so far:

- Only time you can justify supporting local club is if they are actually local... ie you know the streets well, grew up with the locals and went to school in the area. At the very least, you must be part of the city
- This of course would mean 90%+ of UK would be unable to support a PL club, because an adjacent city to your village/town/city is not good enough, as you don't know the streets in the same way a local of that city does, nor do you have the same connections
- This is retarded as phuck. If I live in Bedford and support Arsenal (friend of mine) because it is the most local, this is nonsensical as supporting Utd for any other arbitrary reason, because he doesn't know the area any better than I know Manchester.

- ITT: A lot of hypocrites.

brb over 15m people living in cities with premier league teams, thats not including surrounding areas. Got anymore facts that you want to throw out there that you want me to disprove

Brb picking a single sport because I have a local club which does decent in the tables
Brb disregarding other sports because I don't have a club that is glorious in that sport

Sounds like the mind of a glory hunter,

Your argument falls down on one fact; most actual, genuine fans don't go looking for successful PL teams to support. Support is not offered based on the team's performance, that's actually the complete opposite of supporting.

[NattyGains]

Wrong.

Also, I'd like to see you explain to real fans why they aren't allowed to support their club because they don't live in the actual city of it. All talk behind your keyboard brah.

EDIT: Not saying 15 mill is necessarily wrong, but you aren't taking into account percentages of football fans. 25% of fans of PL clubs do NOT live in the cities of a PL club. And even if they do, what's to say the other 75% don't deserve to pick a team? Strong elitist kunt/10.

You clearly have no idea about Bath Rugby lol, don't post when you have no idea brah.

Also, at which point did i even once claim that i've disregarded other sports? You just make sh!t up to support your argument.

[NattyGains]

All I've said ITT is that I had the goalie kit and idolized Ryan Giggs. Admittedly, the fact that they were a top 20 team may have swayed my decision because I wanted to support a club which people would have some knowledge on, but then I'd say the same for any other fan of a football club of a city they do not live in. I didn't know about the PL (was just getting started) but I knew Utd were a good team, along with the others in the first division at that point. But I had no idea if they were first or last in that division, I barely knew what a first division was beyond a group of great teams.

You outright said you don't watch football because you feel you would have to arbitrarily choose a team. But you don't. Watch football, watch the teams, watch how the managers perform and make a decision based on those facts. That would make you a quality fan because you've rationalized it, not 'HERP DERP THEY ARE THE NEAREST CITY TO ME IN PL'

[teeeps]

Who says they need to live in the city? Living in the same county is good enough IMO. Just having some link to the area is enough and not just picking a premier league club because they're winning everything at the time

[NattyGains]

I completely agree with what you've just said. The error is that you automatically assume I am a glory hunter, just because there are some glory hunters doesn't mean every Utd fan is one. If I said I support Reading but lived in Manchester, I bet you would think 'fair play '.

Don't make assumptions.

Well on your logic i think i'll support Man Utd this year, maybe Chelsea next year if rafa does well or perhaps Liverpool if they start winning

Nope, didn't say i don't watch football. More bullsh!t.

...and again, i didn't say that i've disregarded other sports as you posted earlier.

You may watch it, but you don't support anyone.

Read my post to you above.

[teeeps]

I think everything is going in circles here. OP have fun supporting united, the only person who knows if you're a glory hunter is you and that's just about the only fact any one has disagreed with in this thread really considering you agree that having a link to your local team is in most cases important in terms of supporting a team.

[SiberianExpress]

You may watch it, but you don't support anyone.

There we are, completely different to what you said then.

I stick by that btw. I'll watch local games, support my team. Then i might watch a far bigger match on tv but you won't find me adopting a team to support. You remind me of when the NFL hosts games in London and they provide British fans with info and pictures of NFL teams they might like to support.

I support Utd in my heart. I find it funny when I get called a glory hunter, because I'm certain I support Utd with all my heart more than most other fans I know. And to repeat myself, I'd support them if I woke up tomorrow and they were in league two.

Also why was this moved into Fantasy Sports forum?

[mehcba]

Most people support PL teams, because games below it are mostly boring as phuck.

Keep deluding yourself.

I'd rather watch world class.

Championship is actually more exciting at times.

Usually top 6 teams capable of winning title.

Top 10-12 capable of getting into play offs.

Bottom 8 able to go down.

More passion, more commitment, MUCH better atmosphere at stadiums.

Whereas the Prem every year - Man U/Chelsea/Arse/City/Spurs. Every else = battling relegation.

Only downside is watching Manish and Steve Claridge on the football league show. Terrible.

I support Utd in my heart. Tbh I find it funny when I get called a glory hunter, because I'm certain I support Utd with all my heart more than most other fans I know. To repeat myself, I'd support them if I woke up tomorrow and they were in league two.

Would you support them if they went into administration, every player left, fans pass buckets around to pay players wages? Would you bother traveling 200miles to watch the worst football imaginable? 90mins of hoofing the balls into the corner, hoping for your lone attacker will pick it up (he never does btw). I really dont think you would!
