Seems to be many gloryhunt fans in Arsenal shirts these days. Was Man Utd a few years back, and Liverpool before that. Isn't it a bit sad that people support teams they most likely have never seen in the flesh, simply because they are successful?

as long as manu don't win i don't give a hoot :D

oh and why do you think subaru, mitsubishi etc compete in rallying etc? because they want to win because people will always buy into products associated with winners.

I was under the impression that supporting a football team was a much more personal and long term relationship then riding about in a car. It's the people who switch to the winning side all the time that perplex me.

Speaking to a young Soton fan at the weekend and winding him up about me supporting Arsenal and the first thing he asked me was "Yeah - how long have you supported them" - at the time I thought this was a very strange question - but he was suitably impressed when I replied "approx 30 years".

I'm not sure if there are that many people who suddenly start supporting a new team - they maybe just start showing it more - bit like all the England tops that suddenly spring up whenever England are about to lose again :(.

not a utd fan by any chance are you??? :D

Personally I support Oldham Athletic and I always will.

but recently Ive been cheering arsenal and chelsea on cause I want utd to lose...lmao

under no circumstances though would I buy a shirt from 1 of them teams and brand it just like to see utd win nothing :D

I know what you mean though. But I don't think it's so much about changing loyalties as warm weather supporters - as soon as the Arse-nal start winning things, all the closet supporters come out of the wood work, buy replica shirts and re-discover lager.

My dad was born in Tottenham and so I will be a Spur for life, wear the shirt with pride etc. Through good seasons and bad.

But I'm not one of these sad numpties that has to hate everyother team either ! My hat comes off to the Arse-nal as they are simply the best team in the country at the moment, and play some great footie.

However, I too hate utd ;) But that's more to do with the fact I can't stand the gum chewing twat that manages them ;) Oh, and they are NOT the biggest club in the world either !!!
