Great post mate. Love it.
I went to watch my local team a few times as a teenager but mostly cos' some of my mates did and i had nowt else to do. Now I dislike them intensely. No that's not right, it's the fans that I dislike. I know I'm in a minority but I just can't help finding grown men wearing replica shirts fuckin' pathetic (like dressing up as your favorite superhero) and I find scheduling your whole autumn/winter/spring months around when a football team plays absolutely ridiculous but to some people it seems to be their whole life. Sad as fuck.
Most of all though, I hate it when grown men (yes, you mate
![laugh :lol :lol](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh4.gif)
) cry over fucking football. It's bad enough when they show kids crying at football matches and if my lad ever did it I'd give him a slap around the back of the head and tell his to sort his fucking priorities out. Obviously, I've got emotional over football matches and been euphoric and absolutely gutted (Zamora, Wembley, 90 something minute plus any amount of German penalties) and there is nothing more infuriating than when someone who isn't interested in football says it's only a game but the fact is, it is only a game and I always think that people who have season tickets and travel to every away game either do it for the social side (which is fine) or they've got fuck all else in their lives (which is sad, but also fine but don't try to pretend that you're following some great worthwhile crusade and what you're doing is important - it isn't).
Football fans are like children. They jump up and down when they're happy, they cry when they don't get what they want and they sing moronic songs which often don't make any fucking sense but make them feel like they're in a gang with their mates.
When I walk into the local pub and see half a dozen sad-fucks playing dress-up in their heroes shirt and talking about how shit the ref has been that day, I shake my head. Most of the cunts have been watching football for decades but haven't played since they were made to at school and know as much about football as my dead nan. Listening to them makes me want to buy the club and tarmac over the fucking lot to see what they would do with their sad lives.
Even worse than the local supporters are blokes who walk into the pub wearing a replica Man United or Liverpool shirt from ten years ago who have never actually been to the ground but, depending on how they're doing at the time, assume some kind of superiority of other fans purely on the basis that they woke up one day and decided to "support" a club who has won something. They are a particular kind of cunt and I hate them above any others.
Anyway, yeah, I quite like Arsenal &
