I've Decided To Support A Different Team

[DDRickyDD]

I used to support Man United but I didn't enjoy the lackluster performances last season. So i've decided to start supporting Chelsea because they are in the Champions League and play good football.

Has anyone else switched clubs? What's it like? Did you start enjoy football more?

[King Gizzard]

:shocked: Thats a deadly sin.

[DDRickyDD]

:shocked: Thats a deadly sin.

Why? :conf:

[30stone]

Well done, Man united is like the default for people who "support" football lol.


Anyway.

No, mydad has always liked Arsenal since he was young (and reading) so since like the age of 4 -5 ive always liked Arsenal, and although i wet off football for like 3 years, i always checked the Arsenal scores lol.

[King Gizzard]

Its just

I could never switch teams now...a football teams for life for me (allbeit when i was about 5 i switched teams for a bit)

especially for another team because they are better than the team youre supporting

But it's up to you lol

[Locke.]

Can't really call yourself a supporter if you're just gonna change clubs like that... but because it's Man Utd I'll let you off.

[DDRickyDD]

How can you not call me a real supporter? I watch every game my team plays on television and keep up to date with all the teams transfers.

Its just

I could never switch teams now...a football teams for life for me (allbeit when i was about 5 i switched teams for a bit)

But what if they started playing badly like Man United last season? Surely you would want to support a better team.

[Locke.]

Because there isn't any loyalty.

[King Gizzard]

Nope, stick with my club through thick and thin

and it is pretty god damn awful atm (villa fan)

Why do you support Villa? They are crap and hardly ever win. You should support a team that wins more often such as Chelsea so you can enjoy Football more.

[MTVN]

Are you just taking the mick here :conf:

Try being a West Ham fan :bawling:

[DDRickyDD]

No. Why would I be taking the mick? :conf:

Try being a West Ham fan :bawling:

Why on earth would I want to be a West Ham fan. :conf:

[MTVN]

No. Why would I be taking the mick? :conf:



Why on earth would I want to be a West Ham fan. :conf:

Because it doesnt sound feasible, just wanting to spontaneously switch teams, and your motive for doing so, unless you're 10 years old or something in which case I would understand

First off you say you havent enjoyed the lacklustre performances this season; we're 3 games in for christs sake

Second Man U have had two 3-0 victories alreay which isnt exactly "lacklustre"

Thirdly, you supposedly cant comprehend why anyone would want to support a team that isnt winning everything

And finally, you seem to struggle with the whole concept of being a fan and having loyalty to a team

So I think either:
a) you're quite young
b) you're very new to football
c) you're taking the mick

Which one is it?

[DDRickyDD]

unless you're 10 years old or something in which case I would understand

No. I'm 18.

First off you say you havent enjoyed the lacklustre performances this season; we're 3 games in for christs sake

I meant last season, when Man United lost to Besiktas, Everton, Fulham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Leeds United!!!

None.

c) Like I said before, why would I be taking the mick? :conf:

[MissKittyFantastico]

Ah right I see, you're a glory hunter....

Sorry but can't stand 'football fans' like that.

Well then, I cant see how a keen football fan can so flippantly just switch the team he is a fan of when they lose a few games. It's contradictory to the whole principle of being a fan - you stick with your team, through the good times and the bad (although you still won the league cup and finished second in the premiership by one point), you dont jump ship just because a couple of games dont go your way

How long have you been a Man Utd fan then, do you really feel no sense of loyalty at all towards your club?

[30stone]

What i find funniest, is man united were the second most succesful english club last season, and that isnt good enough?

Chelsea lost to wigan last season..

[Mark]

I've supported Liverpool for ages, but now I work at Coventry City FC so I follow them equally. I just say I support Liverpool in Premier league, and CCFC in the Championship.

If they were to ever get in the same league (unlikely as I don't think CCFC will get promoted, and Liverpool won't get relegated), I don't know what I'd do :)

[Chels]

I ****ing hate football 'fans' like you, just in it for the glory. Support your local team, it makes sense.

The real CCFC = Cardiff City ;)

Cov are shyte to be honest :laugh:

[GiRTh]

To OP, Why dont you just watch football instead of trying to support a team. I dont think you truly understand sport or you dont realise your standards are ridiculously high. Become a generic supporter and not a specific supporter cuz I dont think you have the loyalty to stay with one team.

[danda012]

So just because they only won one trophy last season, you decided to swap clubs and support Chelsea?

I'm sorry but you should really be ashamed of yourself. A true supporter of the club would stick with the club through thick and thin. You sound like someone who just supports a club for the glory when really there is a lot more than just winning titles.

edit:
So winning the League Cup isn't enough for you combined with finishing second in one of the closest title races in years?

[30stone]

Man united won carling cup..
So not even a thophyless season lol..

Oh sorry my bad i forgot they won that. I'll fix my last post in that case.

[Jase]

Thats just glory hunting :/

I suported walsall all my life but then went to wolves because all my family supported them, then after 2 seasons there i went back to walsall and will never change again :)

I drove past your ground the other week when I went to Liverpool, it's fecking tiny!

EDIT: btw do you agree that Anthony Gerrard is shiiiiiiiiiit?

[30stone]

Yeah what i mean is they still done exceptionally well and this guy thinks it wasnt good enough lol.

Won carling cup.
Furthest english team in cl
and second in the pl..

They still done great.

If so i disagree.. that was great lol.

No he's Cardiff's fat lazy defender, cousin of Steven. Used to play for Walsall and he's waaaaaaaank and I want him gone. He ain't good enough for League One but West Ham are after him xD

And i dont think he is any good now he played well for us all the time :)

We've let in 9 goals in our first three games, I'd take all the help we can get

[Chels]

He'd single-handedly let 5 in per game for you, if he's not good enough for us he's not good enough for you; he's just a fat clueless bench-warming scouse tosser :)

[Chels]

He's discovered the local pies unfortunately, and he was seen out pissed the night before the Sheffield Utd game this season. Not a professional attitude at all, doesn't look after himself so there's no wonder he doesn't play anymore.

His attitude is appalling too causing arguments with fans after the game, not sure if he does that there but he did with us, he thought he was too good for walsall and towards the end so did we but from what you say obvs not :)

[Ramsay]

Ah right I see, you're a glory hunter....

Sorry but can't stand 'football fans' like that.

amazing signature!
but yeah it appears so
ive supported spurs since i was 5 or 6
they win **** all
but i love them so much
its better supporting a team that wins **** all trophies i guess
cus when they do win something it feels soooo good!

[Chels]

He has actually, not with fans but with teamates. He's caused a few rifts amongst them as he wasn't chosen to start in the play-off final, DJ (our manager) has hated him ever since and won't play him, which is a good thing because he's crap and costs us goals anyway. DJ's looking to offload him asap by the looks of things :) he's not good enough for this league and yes his attitude is disgusting.

[King Gizzard]

I can appreciate and like watching teams play, doesnt mean i'm going to go support them


Gotta have that club thats ALWAYS there and you have pride in supporting them

I'd get the ****e ripped out of me for saying i'm switching to chelsea, my friends would actually be pissed at me (and they arent even villa fans)

[bbfan1991]

By where I live i've had people say why do you support Man United when you don't even live near Manchester?, ironically enough some of those people support Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal so I could have said the same thing back:p.

At the end of the day we're all entitled to support the team we want:).

That isn't the point we are trying to make. I don't live anywhere near Newcastle yet i still support them. The point we are trying to make is that it seems wrong to change the club you support JUST because you don't win any of the MAJOR trophies (FA Cup, Premiership and CL). It is almost like saying.. oh you didn't win anything.. this club isnt good enough.. i don't like you any more.

To put it bluntly it can easily be seen as betraying a team you so called supported just for a team who "wins" more titles.

In my case I had brothers who already supported Man United so I was easily influenced:p, out of the local teams by me I like West Brom the best and have been to see them play before.

Btw the OP is lying because I read DS, don't post on there and I seem to remember they support Liverpool or Everton.

[Chels]

Anyone who changes their team from Man Utd to Chelsea just because Chelsea are doing better is a fecking knob. Unless they're 6 years old then fair enough cos kids are dopey and they don't mean it and soon select their team and stick with them when they're older, it's like the "MY DAD'S BIGGER THAN YOUR DAD!" argument but with football teams. It seems this guy has a similar mind to a 6 year old... when you support a team you stick by them through thick and thin; win, lose or draw.

Man United match aside not been a bad start to the season for Newcastle although WTF happened in the Wolves match for you guys?:D.

I missed the part of the highlights on MOTD last night so i didn't see the game. Carroll was carrying an injury though which slightly effected his performance but didn't stop him equalising :D

Wolves have started really well too and suprised quite a lot of people. I had them down as early candidates for relegation.

[Raph]

:shocked: Thats a deadly sin.

Agreed, shocking.

I don't like Wolves but being as they're local and I know people that support them it is pleasing to see them doing well at the moment:).

Ha Ha Andy Carroll is a promising player, heard that Hatem Ben Arfa might be signing on a loan deal which could be made permanent?, now that could be a bargain but theres only till Tuesday so they better hurry up LOL. You guys should be fine this season also...

There is none :'( there's even a bloody Leicester one! Anyway I'm gonna have a read of the Forest one to see them whinge cos they ain't signing Whitts :D makes entertaining reading.

Cov are shyte to be honest :laugh:

Type CCFC into google and look who's top :hugesmile:

Aidy Boothroyd got watford promoted, so we have a good manager. We are signing Marlon King next week, he will outscore Belamy.

I do think that Cardiff will win the league though, and almost put money on them doing so at 8-1 the other day, but I don't want to lock up money for the rest of the season :blush:

I'm hoping Coventry will be the Blackpool of the championship this year. Scrape into playoffs, and fluke a win :wavey:

Play up sky blues!

Why should I support my local team? They never win anything. It's more enjoyable to support a team that wins trophies and plays top class football.

Why would they be pissed at you? Surely it would be common sense to support a team that wins the majority of their matches.

There is no need to be so rude. Why would I stick with a team that can't beat Besiktas, Fulham, Leeds, etc? I want to see my team win and enjoy watching them. Not be pissed off after a defeat.

Agreed, shocking.

Why is it shocking?

I agree with Nate, my mates would rip the **** out of me if i changed from Arsenal to chelsea just because we arent doing as well..

Carroll was one of the top players for the club last season. The 2nd top scorer for the team too last season. He now has a lot to carry on his shoulders with the covetted number 9 shirt. He has the potential to join players like McDonald, Shearer and Milburn amongst others as club legendary Number 9s.

Ben Arfa I don't know a lot about him personally but I do know Newcastle are chasing him. They signed a defensive midfielder the same day as the Villa game (yes it was 6-0 to Newcastle Nate :devil:) with just a work permit to be sorted out.

Hands off Carroll. :nono: You already got Van Persie, Bendtner, Ashavin and that new guy i can't spell or say beginning with C.

Ben Arfa has been confirmed as joining on loan now too.

By the way, the defensive midfielder to join was Cheick Tiote.

[30stone]

Arsene has been looking at him since January i think.

I have to say it would be a little pointless us going for him.

Van Persie
Chamakh
Bendtner
Vela
Arshavin

We're more famous than you ;D

No offence but Cov's team is made up of a bunch of Birmingham City rejects lol, I think you'll do well but I can't see you making the top 6 tbh. Although if we signed Marlon King (we were linked with him) I'd be disgusted because I don't want a person like that at our club, even our own fans would boo him. Tbf to Bellamy he's not and out and out goalscorer, he's played 2 games for us so far and he's got 3 assists and a goal to him name already :)

I don't think we'll win the league, we're Cardiff City we always do things the hard way :laugh:

Yep. No genuine football fan can think it's "common sense" to support whichever teams winning
