Yeah but if football was only and all about winning for fans why do we have 92 league clubs in England surely they'd all fold as everyone would be Man Yoo/Chelsea fans You're right though Barcelona are absolutely phenomenal an amazing side, truly amazing.

None of this takes away from the fat that Barca = phenomenal side
That is all I said. Obviously that means their fans will have a great time watching their team. How on earth any one managed to argue with me about that is beyond me.

Wonder if Barca's fans have ever been this happy? Maybe after their 69th title or something.

I don't know about you lot, but where would the fun be in being a Barca fan? It would be great in terms of boasting and seeing entertaining football, but then again its not often very competitive with them winning by 3-4 most weeks. Supporting an unpredictable team is more exciting in my opinion, but with amount of big 4 fans on here living 200 miles from their club i cant see many agreeing.

All I'm saying is be wary if Bob suggests you and Axl have showdown talks down talks the barber shop to smooth things over. He aint gonna be happy when he finds out you tried to moonwalk out of the thread. Catch my drift?

I'm not sure if your'e aware of this or not Brad but football is about winning No it isn't. Also i get what he means, where's the fun in not only having millions more in revenue than all but one of your national competitors but increasing this financial advantage by going hundreds of millions in the red. They must EXPECT to win, anything else is considered as a failure. Therefore they can only have their expectations fulfilled... never exceeded. Sounds boring. They play pretty football though.

as an everton fan, would you like to win the champions league and the league for some years in a row?
I don't know why I get into this, probably because it's more fun than writing an exam. Also, measuring happiness in football fans, is that even possible?
I'm with andy

Ignoring the Liverpool vs Spurs thing, as a subject it's very interesting.
Genuine question.
Would you rather be a FC United season ticket holder or a Man Utd season ticket holder?
I'd go with FC United every time.
A club with a definate identity that the fans can relate to and the players have to understand. Actually going to the game must be the bollox. Same 4k every week, you can actually stand on a terrace with your mates and even have a laugh! It costs a tenner to get in and there's very little police and stewards beings pricks. Give me that over 70K squares in a big souless stadiuim watching Man utd beat Bolton 4-0....again. If that means I miss the 7 interesting Man Utd games in the Premier League each year then so be it.

What would you have done Andy.
Silly yellow and green scarf at Old Trafford or standing in the gritty terraces of FC United's ground?
