I agree on this too.

In a heavy defeat, fans who choose to leave early may because of:

1) Too painful to see the result worsen (understanding the poor performance the team is playing)
2) Too frustrated with the system/tactic/strategy/player-selection deployed which is responsible for the defeat.

Of course, REAL fans will hang on with the team NO MATTER what.

Also, please understand that NOT being so FANatic doesn't mean you are glory hunter.

Remember: Glory Hunter != Less passionate fans

Personally, being passionate needs time and experience to grow. Do not tell me that today you start supporting XXX club and tomorrow you become their super-fans knowing everything about the club etc...

Supporting a football club is not a race to prove you are more superior than others in terms of "support".
This is an open-discussion with no intention to finger-point any individual. We all are different and have our own belief and understand on certain issues so, no offence when things do not tick with your thinking

Ask your friend if he has plans to "convert" to MU or Chelsea if Liverpool fails to win the BPL? (no offence to the Kops as this is only an assumption)

- or -

Ask your friend why Liverpool and not Real Madrid?
