Whatever you say, glory hunter.

No one who supports Port can be a glory hunter

 

[hawkman]

So... what are the latest transfer rumours?

Have we been linked to Moutinho or Leandro Damiao again yet?

Seriously, how old are you? Port have been the most successful team in SA

What do you mean? They've won 962 SANFL flags. Obviously the most successful club in the world!

Are we counting those are we? In that case they're a million miles ahead of anyone else haaha

Yeh back in the SANFL when they won 23234132435413213 flags

go banana

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Yeah Martinez is a player who I like, wouldn't surprise me to see him end up at Barca or Bayern.

Also have you seen Medhi Benatia at all?

Benatia is the Udinese player who tackled Downing AFL style isn't he?

Apparently both us and Arsenal are after Tello in the summer. He has an 8.5 million pound release clause too which both clubs are willing to pay. Obviously it's all just paper talk though.

Also still linked with Eriksen, Alderwiereld, Ashley Williams, Loic Remy, Tom Ince, Modibo Diakite and the big fish, one Mr Xabi Alonso.

Would literally be rock hard if we got Eriksen, Alderwiereld and Alonso.

Would be limp if we got Diakite, Ince or Williams.

Wouldnt mind Remy, has looked very impressive at QPR. Wouldnt mind Tello either of course.

We like the same teams.... so whatever you say is gospel and visa versa

Clearly referring to Barca. Cos, you know, this is the soccer board and all.

 

[LeoMessi]

So you just assume that I jumped on the Barca bandwagon bc of the glory years?! Clearly you like to run your mouth when you don't even have NFI...

FWIW, if we're in the football thread then we should refer to is as such and not soccer.

Tell us then, how long have you followed them?

 

[LeoMessi]

Since the glory days of Ronaldo in the '96. Can you even go that far back or u weren't born before 2000?

 

[Robbo92]

Would love Remy at Liverpool. He'd have a relegation clause for sure, hope we snap him up, been impressive.

FFS guys. An Arsenal fan telling a Barcelona fan he's a glory hunter. Arsenal are one of the most popular clubs in the most popular league in the world and have had plenty of success in recent history. Try to tell fans supporting their local teams like RKC, Duisburg, Viking, Sint-Truiden, Bastia... that you're not a glory hunter.

I am probably older than you.

You're also Pro Barca. And we haven't won **** all in 8 years. That's not recent.

Being a Barca fan has never been harder than this last decade in an EPL dominated society. So many bvtthurt EPL club fans have used that as a comeback that it's getting beyond ridiculous . It's like your either a Barca fan or you're against them. So not actually having an EPL team that I follow (I do have a soft spot for Sunderland though) is not evidence enough for you that I'm not a bandwagoner, then there is nothing I can do to make you see past the hate.

That's not the point. You're supporting a massive club in the highest profile league in the world while living on the other side of the world. I'm serious, go tell the fans who go watch their small local teams every week that you're not a glory hunter.

You may not have won much lately but Arsenal, just like Liverpool, are a massive club with high expectations.

Why does it matter than I'm pro Barca? I'm not saying glory hunting is bad, am I? Most of us are attracted by success and good football at the highest level. It's normal that big clubs get big following. Just don't call someone else a glory hunter because his side has done better than yours recently.

No idea how many times I've had this exact conversation in Australia:
Person: What team do you support?
Me: Cercle Brugge
Person: (puzzled look)
Me: Ok, Barcelona
Person: Yeah but I mean which EPL side?

Yeah when I say Barcelona as well, then it's the inevitable "2 horse race league bla blabla..." argument I get from everyone. Sometimes I just say nothing.

Now, if I was to tell everyone my second fave club is Borussia Dortmund, I would definitely be called here a bandwagoning flog. I dunno but I used to love them in the early 90s with players like Moller, Kohler, Ricken and I can't remember their gk name for the life of me. I dunno what it was must've been the bright yellow tops they had with the big "C" on them (used to be sponsored by Continental).
