I support Arsenal.
Not you're local team
I support Arsenal.
I support me local team wholeheartedly, go to every home game and will try to make the away games when my Dad is going. It's my life, soul and blood, I can't imagine my life without them, and this may sound clich?d, but no matter how **** they get, or how **** they are I will keep going. Nearly all people I know from the world of soccer are involved with City, I know all the players and I know all the people involved in running it.
I don't have a problem supporting a Premiershit team if their local, but I don't you get the same sense of community in supporting a Prem team that you do when you support a smaller local team.
PS. For those of you that have Setanta, please try to tune into the start of the Setanta Cup final tomorrow, it kicks off at 7:30 pm (GMT) and is on Setanta Ireland & 2. There will be a bit of a display put on and it'll show what the eircom league is all about
That is what I love about Non League football, we had a poor season last year (Only managed 25 points in 46 games in the Blue Square Premier) One week we lost 8-0 and then 4-0 the next week, but, the true fans were there no matter what. Through thick and thin, they are your team and I will always support mine.
About the Setanta, is it you that is on mate? Because I know my Uncle's team (Saint Pats) were knocked out in the setanta cup.
I certainly don't hate guys like you who actually live in Manchester and therefore have a legitimate reason to go for them, but there are a lot who don't, people who pick them because they're the best. I heard some ridiculous statistic like 2 or 4% of the world's population go for them.There are more United fans in Manchester than City fans, thats what matters, of course people from other countries are going to support United, thats because unfortunately success breeds gloryhunters.
You can't just hate United if you don't know the second thing about them or football in general.
I also really don't like the term "went for".
Wouldn't Southampton be the local team of Southampton?They are my local team...
Yeah, it's us. Cork City v Glentoran. I'm not asking people to watch the whole game, just the first 10 mins, get a taste of what we're all about
I understand how people from overseas like united and follow us. But it should be as a second team.
