Mourinho again

[Mikhail Chigorin]

After watching Mourinho's post match interview with the BBC where he didn't like the question about Ivanovic's conduct and walked away I think the media should be refusing to interview him. He needs the oxygen they provide to stoke his own fire. Remove his publicity and he becomes neutered.
He brings the game into misconduct in just about every interview but it shows how much the English game has changed that his pathetic behaviour is seen as being one of the reasons that there was a record fee paid for TV rights this week. The real reason for this high price was because two rival companies had to make sure they didn't lose market share rather than the product being any more marketable.

They are never going to do that, he pretty much writes the stories for them.

We might not like him, we may know he talks shite, but ignore the interesting manager of the present League leaders? Are you serious?

Edited for accuracy.

but, seriously, enlighten me. im asking a serious question. how would you like me to choose an English (or European) football club to REALLY support if I don't have parents who are English and haven't lived there? Im actually genuinely curious as to your logic on that front.

Well you can't even choose one.

don't worry, when i start watching baseball or something I'll make sure to A.) check to team's financials and find the worst one and B.) check their wins-losses record and find the worst ratio. when i find a club that meets both of those criteria i'll choose that one to support. that way, i won't be accused of being a plastic fan.

i'm so happy you helped me realize the error of my ways. i won't make the same mistake again.

You still haven't said which team you would want to win if we played Dortmund again

If you think about it, it's a win-win, just save your allegiance until the game finishes.

I've always thought that a fan doesn't actually choose a side to support, unless he/she actually lives in that locality and/or it's a family/generational thing.

If you live further afield, in some mystifying obscure way, the team actually chooses you and this has nothing to do with financials, practicalities, success, history etc.etc. but, instead, it's just something in the ether, at a certain point in time, which captures your heart forever.

Silly me, I've obviously been misguided all these years of my life.

Fair play to you Mikhail.
You've actually made sense of it all for me.
44-45yrs, wondering why. You've summed it all up with your usual eloquence.

City or Dortmund

You want to become a baseball fan? Dear lord why?

If you are going to choose an American national sport, choose hockey. Fucking ace game that.

City or Dortmund

Mmmm

This decision might have become a little more difficult at the moment.

I've just noticed that Dortmund have moved off the bottom of the Bundesliga and are now third from bottom instead. They're obviously on a roll and 'on fire', so Phips could now find himself in a real quandry.

Christ you dogs are relentless. I have a team I support in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Scotland, Belgium, US, Argentina, Brazil, of course Australia and probably a couple of other places.

We're here to talk City and football in general. You don't like Phip's posts, block him.

Sorry to get dragged into this, but surely you can only 'support' one club and like/follow the rest?

I know I certainly don't have time in my life to actively support more than one club. Not sure how it's feasible?

Anyone else want to confess?

I have a load of clubs I follow the results of, for various reasons. But as you correctly point out, I couldn't count it as 'supporting'
I used to go and watch Rochdale occasionally but not for some time. That would be the closest.

I'm with you on this, I honestly don't have enough time in a week for another team in any sport.

I might like watching the Flyers or the WCE, but I'd never call myself a supporter of them.

Forgetting the other clubs he supports around the globe ,the cunt should be banned from this site for supporting a team from fucking Scotland!

well see, as hard as this will be for everyone on here to believe (for whatever reason), this is exactly what happened.
so, you can continue to call me a plastic fan because i really don't care and i know exactly how i started supporting City,

You want to become a baseball fan? Dear lord why?

i know you're on the bandwagon and shitting on me now too but to answer your question:
never in a million years would i become a baseball fan. that sport is awful.

Appreciate those that shat early and warmly please. I hate competition.

Also you probably aren't a complete asshole so just take a deep breath and be normal. This is just a football message board. Nothing to prove here for anyone. It's for information and entertainment. Pick one with every post and you can seem human again.

If you say this is what happened to you, then I believe you because, once the phenomenon that is City takes a hold of your heart strings, it will never, ever let go.

On that basis, I hope you'll accept my apologies for having any doubts and misgivings about your feelings for our Club.
