I think we now have a number of points to conclude.
Q) Do you have to support your “local” team
A) No
Reason) Teams are no longer “local” they are owned by foreigners and have a multinational squad of players, in some cases the star player being born and bred on the locality of your most bitter rival
Q) Does coming from the city of the team you support give your argument more weight?
A) No
Reason) See above
Q) Does standing on the terrace every available weekend give your argument more weight?
A) No
Reason) If every supporter had a ticket the ground would have to hold 100,000,000+ supporters.
Q) Does actually being good at football and playing at a reasonable level give your argument more weight?
A) No
Reason) *see the punditry of lawrenson, Shearer, Redknapp, Dixon et al
Q) What’s the point of all this?
A) A bit of banter, shame some can’t take back what they dish out 😉
