Today,thru out the day,i spotted a lot of pple wearing the blue of chelsea with the words,fly emirates so prominently displayed.It just brings my mind back to a few yrs ago or even last year when u would be even lucky to see one person wearing the chelsea jersey the whole week.As chelsea has already clinched the league title and preparing for their champions league semi-final(which i hope they lose).They are,though i hate to admit it,the team of the moment,but its not to say they are the best cause they aren't.
But my point is the sharp increase in pple supporting chelsea this yr.Wat?they were closet chelsea fans all along?i dun think so.In my opinion,these pple were probably arsenal fans last yr and Man U fans before that.There is no wrong in wanting to support the winning team,to be associated with the losers instead of the losers.But these pple are the ones that jump from one winner to another.I would dare say if portsmouth become champions next season,u would find the same pple wearing portmouth next season.
I support Man U since 1994.That season they were runners up to blackburn at the end of the season,they were not champions.However,they became champions yearly after that and many pple would say i was a fairweather fan and there was even a point in time where i was also wondering if i was one.However,recent seasons proved that i was not as i remained loyal to Man U thru one of the toughest period since I started supporting them.It hurts when they lose and for pple like myself and brian,we bleed deep red when that happens.Wat happened to our "fellow Man U fans" from a few seasons back?they are not cursing the team they USED TO "support dearly" and singing the praises of chelsea now.
U pple just makes me sick!fair weathered fans of football.It speaks alot about yr loyalty to pple also.These pple are like the friend of a good friend of mine.This friend of mine have a group of very close friends since school days.They went thru happy times and often depressing times together.However,one person in the group recently found new friends,who are rich,interesting and comes from a "cool School".This person always liked to be cool and be seen,be "happening",and so he actually left his old friends out of a job opportunity and called his new friends to join him.He even told pple that the new friends are more interesting to be with.My friend got wind of this and so does the rest of the pals,they met the news with disgust and anger,thinking how he could say such things and how he could even feel that way after so many yrs.However they hide their feelings whenever they are with that person,so as not to ruin the friendship even though deep down inside they are hurt.
So is supporting the current winning team that important? just like is it so important to be with the "happening" pple and forget about yr boring old friends of years?
I dunno,I have always been loyal to my friends and i say that with a clear conscience.(Even when i was attached i try to meet up with u guys ok...ah kow!i henpecked mah like u guys said).I just need pals i can talk cock with and play soccer with,the kampong boys...though all of us are unglam but we have a good time.
I think cool and happening friends may interest u for a while but the true friends are the ones who stay with u thru the shit.Just like how we should stick with our team thru the shitty times.Cause when the team finally flourish,the satisfaction will never be topped by anything else in the world.
