Basically your typical west-coast plastic sports fan. The type of person who supports teams from different cities for each sport. The type who claims they can support 2 teams in the same sport because "they almost never play each other".
What they (and phips) really are is a more sophisticated gloryhunter. They know that if they go out and choose the best team in the league, people will call them plastics. And if they choose just one 2nd-level team (or city), they would putting all their eggs in one basket (god forbid they have no titles to celebrate at the end of the year). So they choose a few teams that are just under the traditional "bandwagon" teams. That way almost no one accuses them of being a gloryhunter, but they still have a good chance of winning something each year.
What I'm trying to say is phips has almost nothing in common with most sports fans, hence why he's such a cunt.
the funny thing is none of that is even close to being true aside from the supporting of 2 football clubs.
and regardless of when i tell you the truth you won't believe it and write-off everything i say because its different to what you think/believe and how you experience sports. for instance if i tell you i knew nothing about football when started watching and became a city fan because they happened to be on espn whenever id turn on a premier league match and that i liked watching Tevez running around with his mane banging in the goals and Bellamy bursting down the wing you wouldnt believe me. hell, if i was a glory hunter id have supported Chelsea or United.
find 1 instance of me being a glory hunter, as you say, and ill leave the forum. prove im a plastic fan and ill leave the forum.
even if i was, which im not, why is that a bad thing? you should want the club's fanbase to grow and for the club to grow in stature.
are you going to criticize every new fan that pops up next season when Pep arrives?
this has completely spiraled out of control to the point that people dont actually read what i write and plainly criticize me without reading it. there was literally no reason for the type of response from HNQ but of course i get criticized for going back at her.
i bring up the idea of selling Silva before this current season as a topic of discussion. im promptly criticized and called a fake fan because a true City fan wouldn't say that (even though i didn't). yet others say the same thing and no one says much of anything.
obviously my recent posts in this thread have been to annoy because the responses towards me have been completely unnecessary.
i think you'd be shocked by the results if people actually stopped criticizing me and actually debated certain things (like what is supposed to happen on a forum) and maybe opened your mind to another viewpoint.
but if not, i dont care. I've done nothing wrong and insults from random people on a forum won't bother me.
