Pretty much every supporter in Malaysia is a glory hunter unless you support a random midtable and lower team

You can say youve been watching so and so team since you were knee high but at the end of the day, thats because they were still successful back then

Malaysians = Glory Hunters. End of.

There are some people so stupid yet they are not yet declared retarded. You sir are one of them.

For me,I'd define a glory hunter as someone who supports a team who keeps winnnig but doesn't even know the starting XI of the team..you could spot a few new ones at M.City,am sure  whistling.gif

Rightly true. After a season or two gone when Citeh doesnt win anything they will jump on the bandwagon..Feel free to quote me

Pretty much

But even in UK, you have people who are glory hunters too

I am from North London, closest team to me is Arsenal, so I support Arsenal but I have friends who I grew up with that support Man United, they are glory hunters because Man U are a successful team.

Ask yourself this

Lets say you support United, why do you support them? Because you/your family are from Manchester or you can have some link to Manchester

or is it because they are a successful team?

You can come with the typical excuse that your favourite player was Cantona/Beckham/Ronaldo - whatever, its a lame excuse.

But thats just assuming you are a Man United supporter, feel free to change that for the team you support
*
So you saying in order to support United I must be from Manchester and have family/friend/relatives from there? Seriously how flawed is that? I've been supporting United for almost 10 years now, and yes when I started support them they won the league and they were wearing red(I was a kid, and my favourite colour was red, I even support Ferrari until now because of this ffs so call me naive/glory hunting back then, heck sue me if you dont like it)..And United have gone through dry patches especially the 3 year drought when they only won the league cup and fa cup while Arsenal and Chelsea dominated the league then, not it never crossed my mind to jump ship to other teams especially Chelsea when everyone was saying they will dominate English football after the arrival of Abramovich, never..Look where I am now, my support for United is as strong as ever, even stronger I should say compared to 3 years ago as I grow older and more matured..You need a serious look at yourself mate, Arsenal were a successful team too, so you might be a hypocrite all along

Take the local team factor away since I'm don't have the privileged to be born in the UK..And you are saying that me being naive when I was around 10 was a lame excuse, what do you expect? Other people to come and tell me it's wrong to support a big club because it's glory hunting? My family doesn't watch football, so do my relatives and friends. In fact, I was the only one watching football back then in my circle of friends. You still don't get what glory hunting mean do you? If I'm supporting Chelsea now feel free to say I'm a glory hunting muppet as much as you like, but the truth is I'm not..United was the main reason I started watching football so I see no reason I should stop supporting them.

It's the "pre-glory" thing..They are hyped to dominate English football soon so might as well jump on the bandwagon now so that they won't be a
"glory hunter" when they reveal themselves to be City fans.

The term glory hunting is very easy to understand - Supporting because the club is successful and have lots of glory

Arsenal are a successful club and have lots of glory too, glory hunting much mate?

you still fail to give me a solid explanation why I didn't jump ship during the 3 year drought after Becks(which was my idol back then) left when I have every reason to go and support Chelsea when, if I'm a glory hunter, I wouldnt wait for a year not to say 3 to realise the club I was supporting was supposingly in decline..and the fact that you dismiss my explanation that I was young and naive is just as simple as me dismissing yours because you live near the Emirates and you are from North London

let me put it this way...You-live near Arsenal's stadium back then(Highbury issit?never knew football existed back then), so watch them regularly, so support them

Me-started watching football because I support a team in red, influenced by Becks being in that team, and had absolutely no idea that Manchester United were the front runners in the league until they won

QUOTE(tweedle @ Oct 23 2010, 12:34 AM)
Once again, Arsenal are my local team. How can I glory hunt my local team? That makes absolutely no sense. It probably takes me less time to get to Emirates from my house in London then it does for you to get to college/work. I fail to see how me supporting my local club can even remotely make me a glory hunter just because they are successful. Maybe if I was from near Spurs and I supported Arsenal, you could say that but Im from the North West side of London not the North East.

You didnt "jump" as you put it because no one is gonna stop supporting a team in 3 years and in those 3 years, Man United were still in the top 3, still won a league cup and a FA cup in that time. They hardly did a Leeds did they? and answer me this, would you still support Man United if they did a Leeds and went down 2 divisions to League 1? Probably not. So in that time, just because they didnt win a league title in 3 years, they hardly fell off the face of the earth, did they? Thats one of the most stupid excuses Ive probably ever heard.

and also, by your logic, I should have stopped supporting Arsenal 3 years ago but here we are....
*
and again you use the local team factor..If I happen to be born in Manchester and I started to support United when they won the league, that gives me an exception of not becoming a glory hunter? If geography determines what team one should support rather than the passion they have for the team, then you need to brush up your common sense.

Sorry but winning a league cup and FA cup isn't TOO much of a success when you are Manchester United, and like I said Chelsea were poised to dominate English football, destined to win leagues year by year with the arrival of Drogba, Essien, Ballack, Shevchenko and your very own Cashley Cole just to name a few..It's the very same as Citeh now as you can see from their increasing number of fanbase around the world ever since Thaksin took charge...Or a situation like my friend where he started following English football 5 years ago and when Chelsea won then he decided he should support them..Now that's glory hunting, and very different from my situation as I've had no knowledge on money power when I start watching and supporting United..And just to add by that time the league was hardly done nor I do know how many titles they won before..And I will say this once again, if it wasn't Man Utd football, those Beckham set pieces and Scholes volleys made me fall in love with football, I wouldnt be here right now..Yet you seemed confident that everyone who supports United that time including me were because of their past glory..I would have opted for Liverpool, Leeds or even Forest based on your logic

You asked me a question and then answered it yourself, how fked up is that rclxub.gif

Not gonna reply any of your comments with your one-dimensional mentality being "he's not from Manchester and he supports United, must be a glory hunter!"

To prove that ur not a glory hunter altho ur supporting a team with huge glory, u'll continue to support that team even tho its performing badly.. eg LFC

eg if u say ur a LFC fan then u shouldn't say "I don't wanna support LFC if they still bottom of the league.."

To make it simple,all you bunch of glory hunting overseas football fan cant see each other as one.Is like you are in camp Liverpool i am in camp United as long you dont jump around you are not glory hunter.

But in our eyes which ever camp you are in is nothing but still glory hunting.Why ashame of it??I told you i love plenty of European club.
But the difference is i face the fact that they will never belongs to me.
Not like some of you glory hunting freak who live die that team which will never belongs to you.So u felt butthurted bcos im criticing sumthing you pray to.

A good example is that freak liverpool guy..he will come up with whole page of paragraph in his every reply probably too afraid of knowing himself a Glory hunter! An act of coward obviously smile.gif

or perhaps you are just too afraid of countering his statements and resort to repetitively calling him and most of the people here glory hunters..because you are only good at that biggrin.gif
