It would piss you off as well and when you already said why, they keep asking asking who, how, why and so on?? And I don't know how much you know regarding my stance on this multiple football club thingy, it's a big no-no for me. If you remember, I had a go at that certain fan(should I name names??) who proudly claims he is a Barca and Madrid fan. As I keep pointing out, it just does not make sense. But fact of the matter is, that's what you get with casual supporters. They barely give a feck about a club's history or anything else regarding a club.
The likes of shah_ho_nam, they're in way over their head here hence you see all the throwing in about university education, family status and all that crap. He basically knows crap about what he is speaking about and already been exposed as one who will not back his team thru and thru. And yet has the cheek of calling himself a fan. It's an insult to other fans who backs the team thru and thru IMO. He doesnt even know what a plastic fan means even hence why you see him then referring to me as jelly. I had a good laugh.
They are lucky they are in the LYN forums. Go to a proper Milan, Chelski or Roma forum. They'll get banged left right and centre. There's a good community of people who support multiple clubs hence why they can find solitude here.
To be fair to me and Jonno, we did explain our points properly at the start. It's only when they started to keep repeating themselves and making up stories( Sir Alex loves Milan????) oh and yeah, started becoming comedians when things went hostile. So much for "Lets Bring It On" ehh?? We brought it on and they were moaning.
Fair enough. I for one wouldn't put up with a person who supports both Barca and Madrid. But i still think it's pointless arguing with this kind of people. You ain't gonna change them.

Football is essentially a blue collared sport and most avid fans are from blue-collared backgrounds. Maybe that's why someone with a PHD coming from a privileged background doesn't understand it.
I think that's a very stereotypical statement. You could argue that since majority of the population are from blue-collared backgrounds, that they would make up the majority of football fans.
