I know it's a football forum.

I know we are here to discuss football.

But I also know that this issue has been discussed to death.

And over the year(s), I've also managed to accept that we should all screw this elitism (not directed at anyone in case I rattle a few cages) and give anyone and everyone a right to support whomever and whatever they want which is why I no longer post around here any more.

You may love the club more than me but that certainly doesn't prevent me from having a right to support the club and don the jerseys that you do in the same manner.

Yes and no. The topic I started previous entitled "Real Fan" was aimed at determining what the definition of the word is. The issue in contention here is whether or not it's ok to swap allegiances? It doesn't mean that this person doesn't read up about the club he supports and all at the time (though I believe if he did, he wouldn't need a swap).

And a real fan wouldn't switch clubs.

What separates a top fan from an ordinary fan is his/her loyalty to the club. Always optimistic about their chances. On the issues of players and managers thought, obviously ideally we would want them to be one-club-men like the Totti's or G. Nev's of today. In the real world though, just like us, we have certain aspirations for our careers. Would Ronaldo have become the player he is today if he were to stay at Lisbon? Would Torres be as effective if he continued plying his trade at Atletico? Moves and transfers are all part and parcel of football, just like how job-switching is.

I don't really get that 'optimistic about their chances' bit. There's nothing wrong with a resident pessimist. ph34r.gif

PS: I support two teams every weekend. Manchester United and the club playing Liverpool =p Last season, I was supporting whomever who played Chelsea. rclxm9.gif
