On Scarves and Fan Loyalty
Some guy's girlfriend knitted him a scarf and it was Red and White which he is associating with Arsenal.
When I first started following the Premier League last season, I chose Reading, because they were getting into the Premier League for the very first time, just like I was, and they seemed like just the sort of plucky underdog worth backing. However, Reading has dropped into the relegation zone this month, and after seeing their dire form lately, I’m starting to wonder if I’m going to have a Premier League club to support next August.
All the while, this red and white scarf seems to be calling out to me. “Come join us, neophyte. Leave your little underdogs behind. Do you really want a life full of relegation battles and Coca-Cola Championship playoffs? Of course, you don’t. Come root for a real winner.”
You know at the end of last season before Frank bought City and Sven came in, my exact line of thought was "hmm well I guess if City get relegated next year I'm moving back to Manchester". Not out of hyperbole or anything else and I was dead serious. 1) I needed to be there to support my club again and 2) hoping for an FA Cup match to catch on television just wasn't going to do.
I do not understand what goes into "picking" a team to root for nor giving that team up because they suck. I don't think I ever will
