Isn't that like saying, you cant go to the cinemas and experience a a movie properly unless you go out and meet the stars?

no, because a movie is designed to be seen in a cinema. Football is designed to be seen in a stadium, with fans who can be the '12th player' and actually sometimes change the face of a game. Its a crap analogy.

Why is that a crap analogy? Why do people nneed to go out and buy a ticket for 30-40 quid, when they can perfectly sit at home and watch the game with their families, back in the day before football became such big business, many parents brought their kids to the games. As the country has been graduallly been sucked into this business, it is no longer feasible, especially for working calss families, as tickets are quite expensive, especially when there are lots of people. Why is it, you see the same sort of spirit 'comrade-ship' amongst the people in the pubs who watch the game on telly?

if you really love a team, you'll go. Most of the people who watch Arsenal aren't rich toffs, they're working class people who put a large proportion of their income into season tickets. It may be expensive, which is why you should support a local team, not one which costs £50 to get to by train.

All this because you tried to ridicule my view on the FA punishments of Arsenal by going off topic.

lol. I do believe many fans would go to such measures and pour most of their income into such luxuries. Do you not think then, that perhaps the companies that have exploited football, may perhaps, spoilt the real essence of football, I am sure the person who introduced football to the masses, did not intend to be seeing teams charge the amounts we see today, to watch a game? With this I leave you to ponder, I'm off to bed. Night everybody, as always this board always proves to be stimulating. Night people.

'Should'? We'll support who we like, how we like, and we'll respect each other for it. We won't have stuck-up "ooh I went to a game I know more than you" types like you disrespecting our allegiances and passions.

I don't see how you can justify at all supporting Man U. Oh, and posts always go off topic.

What I meant was you were trying to disagree with my views on Arsenal's punishment. Instead of talking about the punishments you decided to attack (weakly) the fact that I don't live in Manchester. What did that have to do with the original point??? With that thought I leave you for my bed. Hope it was pleasant viewing for all hahaha!

I don't have to justify anything to you. I only have to answer to myself.

I perhaps should have just left it with the means and money point.

true, business has taken over football and overhyped charged tickets are the norm (especially at Chelsea). don't get me wrong, I like watching football on TV as much as the next person, but given the choice of that or the opportunity to buy a season ticket at Arsenal, I would be there everytime.

His “opportunities” would improve exponentially if he didn’t support a team who played their home games a few hundred miles away from his house though….

I'm with ZJuwelH on this. As much as i hate to agree with a utd supporter (Im a liverpool fan) he's right. I've never been to a Liverpool game but im still a true supporter 100%. I watch every game thats on tv, i by a new shirt every season, and unlike most 'fans' i dont spend my life insulting the team and saying the manager should get sacked.

I realise the above it not highly relevant, but I'm curious.
Also, location and transportation isn't the only factor that might stop someone going to watch matches.

Even after that, I don't think he should be allowed to wear an England shirt again.

YOu wouldn't be saying the same if this was an Arsenal player, so your argument loses all credibility.

mate the fact is that any real Mancuian Man U fan would not defend you. Live with it, you're an armchair supporter, and that's all you'll ever be.
