Seems that the whole idea is "strange". But who enjoyed the MU 1 ---,Liverpool 4 game the most as a match. Who enjoyed the football? The mistakes? The drama? Me, who could not care less about the result, or the thousands of pissed off Man U fans? My list above is absolutely valid. It shows that it is possible, even very common, to have a love for,,,,, appreciation .....passion - call it what you like- for something without having a favourite. Believe it or not. I probably enjoyed Man U's last CL performance ( and Arsenals) just as much as you or their fans. LC

LOL.........but you left out one. A free thinking individual. You know, someone who doesn't need the comfort of belonging to a mob, group or faction and to faithfully follow them because ......because?.............because? err....because.... well. because that is what we all do! I probably wouldn't have joined the Hitler youth or Nazi party either both of which offered group identity for those who needed it,,,, you know, that pack identity and sense of belonging you mentioned.

If it weren't for Man Utd crime would be significantly higher. If they had been as you say from Exeter and not successful there would be a hell of a lot of obsessives walking the streets looking for targets. It makes you shudder don't it. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |
