And so the EPL is come round again with all the attendant ooh
and ahhs coming out of the woodwork.
Then well have all these Brit wannabees, wearing their favorite
team colors parading them as if they were really from West Ham or
Tottenham, rubbing shoulders with them white guys at the pubs and
watering holes as if that would make them more Brit or justify the
support .
I was having a drink in a pub quietly on my own, when an English
guy come to me and starts questioning me on the local madness for
English football.
He says these things
1) hed prefer live football to televised anytime
2) That to support our local teams because thats what football is
all about-local
3) That we dont really deserve to support the English teams cos
were not local-ie we were not born there and that many many
Singapore fans of English football pick their clubs because they
were successful at the of time of selection.
4) That if we the local fans were to go to say West Ham ( he is a
west ham fan) and say proudly that youre a west ham fan, theyd
tell you to go f**k off because you were not born there.
And the worst part is they dont even play good football ( except
for Man U and Arsenal)
Me and my friend counted the average number of passes each of the
top teams and they come up woefully short.
Except for Man U and Arsenal, the rest can hardly hold on to the
ball. Is this football?
I guess in the end,in the final analysis, only the women have any
REAL reason to be watching - eye candy.
PS I have been watching this wretched thing they called English
football for many years and the best scene I ever saw was this. It
come on a news clip about a small club (i forget the name) in some
real cellar division, and they'd just lost the game and got
relegated.
There was a girl in the stands, alone, and she must have been about
what, 15/16 and she was weeping,almost uncontrollably. Now thats
the best image I have about football.
Alone and crying for that ugly child.(the football club) Now how
many of you have got the guts to support the newly promoted ( i
dunno who they are)
