you really do not get the idea of what a fan is at all. truly. man utd win trophies but quite a lot are not happy with the owners or the prices. does that make them mugs for putting up with it in return for silverware? to what degree is a person a mug or not, because it isn't as easy as saying 'either they do that or i'm doing this in return'.
have you ever been in a relationship with someone where you had to make sacrifices? you do so because you love the other person and those sacrifices in the long term are worthwhile. it may come back to bite you on the arse one day but we can all be smart arses in hindsight can't we?
we follow our club, pay our money and put up with the shit because we love our fucking club. it was here before wenger, phw and co and will be afterwards. so we'll cheer the goals, call them ****s, shout about decisions and complain that we haven't won a trophy. but you know what? we'll turn up next week to do the same because it is an escape. it's entertainment. like a pantomime but we love it, absolutely love it as we can get rid of all the shit from the working week and live out our fantasies on the pitch.
if that makes me or anyone else who does the same every week, at any professional, amateur or sunday league team then i'll happily take that title. at least we're out there in the thick of it, enjoying ourselves and not preaching from some fucking soap box no one gives a shit about.
