champions
man utd just won the premier league an hour ago, which is great because i'm a supporter, but i've been wondering just why the fuck do i care?
they are a group of people playing football a thousand miles away. they are people whom i've never met and will probably never meet, and i'm sure i wouldn't even like some of them if i knew them. in short, their success and failures have absolutely nothing to do with me, which is the same to the millions of fans out there.
even more curious are the supporters of competitors in individual sports, like running, racing, tennis etc. perhaps it would be more acceptable to support a tennis player for his skills, but how about a runner? what's there to support? "oooh i love his fast legs!"
obviously it's great for all these sports people to have supporters because they are the ones that put the millions of dollars into their pockets, but i wonder what would happen if one day their fans come upon the same thought as me, and decide not to bother any more.
i think it would be rather funny, and we can also see who is in it for the love of the game, and who is in it for the love of the money and girls and and and.
perhaps it would be more understandable back in the old days when a football club had players who were actually from the same city and could be your friend or neighbour, so there would at least be a certain level of pride in watching them.
anyway let's put that aside, and just say OOOOOHHHHH YES CHAMPIONS AGAIN!

haha in my opinion i think ryan giggs should be the man of the match! haha he scored a really decisive goal. =)
haha. oh yes and i think you are happy that they won the title. somehow i feel over the whole season they seem to be really lucky. Winning some matches when they played really lousy.
