In the end, football is not Communism.....whilst all parts of football are important and keep things going......in the end some parts are more important.....and some are going to feel better about themselves or feel better than others.

I'm not against people supporting football around the world, but I support my local team, go to every home game + some away and I'm actually a passionate supporter who cares. I won't bother telling people who to support, it's up to that person...but likewise I have freewill too and chose what I perceive is the "more right" path.


------------------

Also....Thou shall read http://www.football-rumours.co.uk/ and talk about it as if it's a legitimate source.

Clubs like Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, the reason they want to try and get back to the top of football from mediocrity and aren't happy just to slide into being shit is because the top clubs get a bigger fanbase, and as a result, get more money. If it wasn't for 'glory hunters', all these shit teams would be happy to stay being shit because the same fans would come every week and empty their pockets to watch shit players, subscribe to Sky Sports and demand to see their teams play.

John Henry says he wants Liverpool to be back winning trophies, do you really think he'd give a fuck about that if it weren't for the increased revenue glory hunters would bring?

That's all true. Agree 100%. However, what's your point? We're still going to rip on them.

The point is that you should thank them, they make your club competitive.
