juz want to know how mny ppl obsess with their supporting team..

let me comment first..
i'm 100% obsessed to support my team.. but i dont buy all the available jersey, follow-up everything they have going on.. i still have my life

Obsessed? Ok lah i guess, watched their games, buy their jerseys, and some other memoribilias. More towards passion than obsession really, don't really go ALL footy, just one of my many priorities in life. Work/Life balance mah....

ok.. how about if they r being criticise by other club fan? u stand for ur club or juz let them?

i think i over 100%...i buy jersey?? every single batch will have 1..i m 19..support this team for 11 years now...got very memorible 1999 number 7 champions league jersey & whole team medallion (these now u got money also cannot buy)...try watch all the game and will stand up for my team....+ been to the stadium in england..hehe..great place ..

Alex Ferguson is The God
Old Trafford The Temple
Manchester United The Religion

50%

after all, i dun get paid for it right ?

not really la..
if im obsessed with my team..
i will be broke getting their merchandises

i din buy the ori arsenal jersey..way too expensive..i only buy the arsenal classic shirt..

of corse i stand to my team anytime... yeah bought some jerseys

im not obsessed , i just watch their games and buy an ori jersey,thats all ,and scream goal! everytime they score(the best part)

Need to have 75% option la

Buy one new ori jersey a year and that's about it but this year away black jersey loooks cooool.

watch thier game only but that is sometimes so what level am i?

I personally don't think u can quantify how much u support a club or be "obssessed" with a club. Especially not in terms of how much club merchandise u have bought. I have just one ori jersey but I'm still gonna support Madrid till the grave.

100% obsessed... buying jersey doesnt mean we support our teams..... and no back up teams or what ever... jus luv football and luv to see other team playing also...

i'm not obsess at all
my sis even said she wanna buy me Original Chelsea jersey for my birthday but i rejected her... dunno why...

jimat money ma....
earn ur own money then only u buy on ur own...
i tink this will be better .....
u did nth wrong actually

This greatly depends on if the pedigree of that fan. If he is a glory hunting, fast food eating, no knowledge fan, I could care less. What's the point in arguing with someone doesn't know anything? "We beat you! we beat you! Nyah Nyah!". "Erm... sure, ok, thumbs up for you then. Now go to the corner and suck on it".

I agree. And no i dont buy all their jerseys. Only when i feel like i want it hehe, and of course when i have the money la. Unless the original jersey is priced at RM50

nah... even if it's my money also i dun buy
i kept thinking that if i buy the jersey, what i'm gonna do, wear it in the bright daylight also very hot...

I'm considered myself a hardcore. But guess most of the fans here are hardcore as well. I collect Chelsea jersey since Fly Emirates. Got various collection with the name of Chelsea on it.

Same here. To be perfectly honest, I only have 2 jerseys, but I do have a number of t-shirts.

well it's quite comfortable to wear and can see it as a support to ur club.
anyway,even if u buy all the jerseys and merchandise doesn't mean u are a loyal fan if u dun really have the passion to know bout ur club and willing to stick with ur club through high and low...
I'm not really that obsess with my clubs , not all their matches i would watch and I dun have all the jerseys.
but at least, I love the club and I'm proud of it no matter wat happened to the club.

hey, i thought you went to Melbourne do trial with local club? that doesn't show any loyalty.

cos u only one anime figurines

me,50% obsessed my team,but no need to buy ori jersey la,just buy from uptown... cheap2 one..

i'm about 75%, still got my own life..and my working life

still learning the history and traditional of my club from most of the guys here

loyalty keep inside heart 1 ma....
no need to show outside...
Owen also left Liverpool for Real Madrid la...

Lol.. Keep inside heart eh? Faster come back wei.. miss you edi..

what the...
i never bought a figurines yet... only 1 Haruhi 12' plush toy only cost RM29.90 only...

coming back soon d la...
reserve a place for me at the thread thr la ya

Im hooligan... so?

Good for you.

there's lampard figurine selling somewhere around penang megamall.. about rm129.00 nearly buy it but i am not into figurines and stuffs
proud to be hooligans

lampard figurine???? NEVARRRRRRRRRRRRR~!!!!!!
even if i bought a figurine it's better the stripable

i think those meaning obsessed is those got a shrine at home for the team. .. i think most fans here a passionate about their team rather than obsessed ...

having merchandise of the club doesn't make you a supporter/fan, but sure beats those who just 'say' that they are true supporters. those are the kind that makes me sick to the core.

for me, knowledge of and passion for the club are the first and foremost criteria, obsessed or not.

agreed
but i'm more sick if they only support a club when the club is strong/win many cups
many chelsea fan are born like that, since abramovich bought that club, i can see many people proudly saying they are chelsea supporter...

sad but true. can't hide that fact, though. something like many becoming ManU/Arsenal fans back when they were winning cups, leagues, etc. bound to have one lah.

that's glory hunter for some...

I'm not obsess, I only feel bad driving a blue car, trying to have everything in Red colour. Teaching my kid "Poor Scouser Tommy", making sure he has a kit, watching every match that I can, write here, cry when we lose the big games and when we won number 5.

I am not obsess at all... No I'm not...

Not obsessed at all, just watch all the games, go on bad mood when they lose, have a couple of jerseys and t-shirts, buy their merchandises like the treble medallion collection, and swear at referees when decisions go the other way.

yeah u really are not obsess

u got a couple jersey, that half-half lor, unlike me that doesn't even have any jersey and didn't bother to have one...

Nah not really obsessed at all, just like to swear at the referees...

hahaha..same here..

why the hell ref dont give penalty to man utd anymore??kayu ke hapa??

How i wish I'm at England now...so i can show how fanatic am i as a football fans...i will replace my weekly movie show at GSC to weekly football match at the stadium...ahahhaha

Errr, a movie ticket in Malaysia = RM 10 - RM 12, a match ticket GBP 25 - GBP 50 (RM 175 - RM 350) depending on which club you support. I don't think so...

Plus, I hardly think that going to every match quatifies as obsess or fanatic. Perhaps you should meet the likes of Duke Red, JonC, Zypher, Monstar, lolhalol and a few other to properly know what is fanatical or obsess...

Well...i hardly watch movie at normal class (sry if i sounded bragging)...coz i hate some idiotics keep kicking my seat...so I prefer Gold Class...which ranging from RM40-RM60


Plus, I'm not just Chelsea fan but also Torquay fan so I tin i can watch Torquay with the same price...

The thing I was trying to point out was that being obsessed is not merely about going to matches, there are a lot of fans here who have never been to England, but would not think twice in stabbing another person who bad mouth their team, I'm one of them...

this thread is about to scan out who is the potential glory hunter.. how much level did u get in terms of defending your team

I don't quite understand the last part of your post but from what I can gather, you are saying that defending your team proves just how much of a fan you are. I think this is debatable. Too many fans today react for no reason. It's more of personal trait. Malaysian's in general cannot take any form of criticism, even if it's constructive. Tell someone, "i think you need to work on your posture to avoid any back related problems in future" and they are likely to go, "why? what's wrong with the way I walk??". Catch my drift? I find it amusing when people try to defend their clubs when they do not know if there is good reason for them being criticised. How can you build a proper defence without first doing some research?

I'm not obsessed, just hardcore.

It's really funny to see you talking and uttering profanities to yourself when you're drunk There was a time Jonno and I were really amused

That wasn't the real me, it was my drunk alter-ego.

actually i want some peace discussion and not flaming among each other... defensive part of human being is particularly normal but being aggressive for no reason just because of small and tiny piece of comments?? i don't know.. we were all grown up like this anyway

Yeah, that was a good game... Watching JonC screaming his head off, basically swearing at everything. Throw in, "can't you pass properly?", goal kick, "ooooiiiii, pass properly la" etc etc...
Like you said that night Duke, I too like JonC better when he was off his head...
And Duke, you should be there at Genting, you get to see the really pissed off JonC...


Cue for more beers to you our next match? Want to meet your alter-ego again...


I think Duke was pointing out that too many fans are jumping to the defence of their team without thinking properly of the criticism, thus unable to mount a proper defence of why they defend the team / coach properly (I am guilty of that many a times). And they take it personally when there's a criticisim against the team. To me, the real fans are the ones who are able to see the dark / bad side of your own team. Trust me, there's ALWAYS things to improve upon. That is what I like most about our manager. Win 8 - 0, what he said? "it was a good game, but I can see that we have rooms to improve still..." instead of gloating about the success...

sometimes...not obsess

i`m quite obsessed..watch every single liverpool games,everyday surf the web site regarding my team and collecting my team jersey since 1995..

every object that appears to have man utd logos or images wud be in my collection. glory for man utd!

yeah i'm obsessed

this season i bought all Arsenal jersey... home, away, third, already bought home 08/09 jersey thru black market hahaha

even t-shirt n keychain...

when my bro or frens (MU fan) kutuk my team... i fought back


when my team lost... i also moral down


now saving money to go Emirates

Gunner forever

Means you buy fake stuff lor. That doesn't really show loyalty.

What kind of fan am I if I want any other team to beat Man Utd?

About glory hunters, its not fair to call recent Chelsea & ManU supporters glory hunters. Most of us being so far from the UK will naturally support teams what we can see more often on TV.. i.e. the succesful & high profile big 4.

A true ManU or Chelsea supporter will be the one who still supports the team when they stop winning. So I would say it is impossible to be a glory hunter & say a Spurs (Shebby) or Everton fan if they started supporting 3 years ago.

I agree with you, it doesn't matter when you start supporting your club. What pisses me off is I've recently met two Man Utd supporters who can't name their starting 11. They go like, "The Man Utd right winger crossed to Ronaldo who headed it towards goal..., etc". Who is the right winger in question? I asked the other, "Do you know where Stretford End is?", and he didn't have an answer.

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but please lah, read up about your club. I find it weird when people ask basic questions here when the information is readily available on the net. Just take some time to do a google search. It's where I get most of my information from.

Duke I admire what you're trying to do but I think you're beating on a dead horse. Some people do not like to read and the idea of reading information off a book or off the net would be a turn off for them. And also alot of people love to watch the game but not many understand it. So u get plenty of cases where they don't even know who is in possession of the ball or why a team is struggling to create chances for instance. Just have to live and let live with them.

The funny thing is they bother to ask simple questions here. Fair play but isn't it the same as googling it? I mean you still have to read it. I guess they just want a summed up version.

I enjoy watching Man Utd play... sometimes can geram like hell why they play so stupid... sometimes play like so well until can whack Roma 7 goals...

But not so obsess until buy this and that and get angry when ppl critize... Just a game la... enjoy and have fun...

they only support the devil when they win the BPL,if the next season other team is performing well,surely change maa..

indeed knowledge is power..but there are those who focus less on the history of their clubs but more towards their current status and development i.e: potential targets, who's coming up in the youth and reserve ranks,the state of the football academy,possible attacking formations and stuff like that.i guess it depends on what kind of knowledge you'd want to emphasise on.But not knowing the names of your first eleven is a definite no-no..you're practically holding up a sign above your head that says:BASH ME NOW!

fake stuff?

i bought thru nike indon factory lor... never buy pirate jersey for my Arsenal...
that's why i'm obsessed with arsenal

Well we have discussed this issue under the "real fan" thread before and my opinion hasn't changed since. It is only my opinion but I feel you have to have some knowledge of your club especially if you claim to love and support it. If you don't support them because of who they are, then why are you supporting them? Because they are doing well now? How does one get emotionally attached to something they know nothing about? All I know is if I like a girl, I try to find out more about her. If I like a car, I try to find out more about it. No different when it comes to my football club.

Again, it's only my opinion.
