Take it you don't like Everton either then?

Chelsea only became relevant in 2003 but beats it chest like they're a super club. 

'We won every European trophy twice'. Why would Bayern or Real even be in Europa League? never mind twice

Real Madrid. "Lets buy players who are superstars, in positions we're already strong, and neglect positions of need and squad harmony"
PSG who have gone full FIFA 20 career mode. 
Leicester. The clappers. Its a term for gonorrhea. 
West Ham and Liverpool who insist they're much more special than they are
Barcelona "fabregas is a prisoner" "They cheated because they didn't water the pitch" "they defended all game" fuck off peasants

just like to add to this, not many Leicester fans like the clappers any more either

 

But you know, just glad we've got to be such a big club we can be involved in these conversations

I think there are elements of football fan culture in Spain - or at least some club cultures in Spain - which I just find very hard to respect.

At Real Madrid, for example, it seems that the fans are not really fans like the word means in the UK. The people in the crowd are not there to support their team - they're there to enjoy and gloat when their team wins.

Even the sound they make when they score sounds wrong. It's not like a "yeeeeeaaaaah" or "yaaaaaahhhhh" or a "ssssiiiiiiiiiiii". It's like an "oooooooohhhhhhhhh" - like when you see someone get nutmegged in the park and want to rub it in their face. It's a gloating noise, not a celebratory noise.

Sometimes it's just nice to be relevant enough to be hated

Because they know you will arrive and rip the shite out of them

Any club that actively seeked and are still actively seeking the formation of a super league because they knowingly and irresponsibly ruined there own clubs finances and are now scared of competition. I look forward to seeing these fragile egos that run these clubs crumble over the next couple of years as there legacy gets ruined in the eyes of the idiots that still follow there every word as if they're a cult following a chosen leader. 

A tier below these ignorant skidmarks are those clubs who voted in favour of this new Champions League format which rewards history because sides like Arsenal and Juventus are incapable of creating a structure that can beat progressive forward-thinking set ups at clubs like Atalanta and Leicester City despite having a ridiculous financial advantage. Its Atalanta and Leicester now, it would be the likes of Sassualo and Aston Villa shortly after.

The heart beat that makes football such a beautiful and captivating sport to follow is competition. I have tried to get in to American sports before our baby arrived as something to watch at stupid times in the morning and have come to the conclusion they all suck. In Basketball Utah Jazz won 52 of 72 matches last season and finished top of the Western Conferance. None of that mattered though because the top eight teams in the Western Conferance have to play each other in a playoff anyway. What was the point in the first 72 matches? At least the English football pyramid there is a sense that almost every match in a football season matters.

Anybody that wants to move away from the competitive aspect of this sport is far worse than an irritating fan base or a team full of detestable players.
