not even trying to troll just curious about how one develops this mentality, I could never see myself passionately rooting for another city, doesn't make any sense to me.

None of them will mention a single thing about Chelsea playing the most boring style of all yesterday, United's kickball techniques against every big name EPL team besides Man City, etc. They're still so @#$@$@ bitter about not being able to beat us themselves that they keep going with this one-sided criticism of Barca while clearly ignoring the faults of our opponents.
Who's bitter b? Who's complaining about injuries? +%$# outta here son, delusions like this are exactly why people hate your team. Barca fans may rival city fans for the most obnoxious in football.

I'll explain from my perspective.
I'm not from the UK (thank God, cause I've been there in all 4 seasons and never seen the sun).
However when I was growing up, it's not like the MLS popping and the PSL was an absolute joke. I've grown up in different countries, and the league that was broadcasted the most was the EPL. Thus, when every weekend you turn on the tele, you only see EPL teams, you begin to gravitate towards them.
Had I grown up in Italy or Spain or Brazil, or even the UK, I would have probably supported my local team. Such as my best mate who supports Sunderland like a true diehard.
But it's a bit difficult when your area either doesn't have a local team, or if they do, the games aren't televised at all.

Very ignorant post.First off part of my fam is from ARG so i root for La Pulga Messi and El jefe Mascherano. Honestly i could care less about the city of Barcelona. also my grandpa who migrated to Guatemala was from spain and he, my dad and uncle love(d) real madrid so it aint even a family thing. I dont think rooting for your city team really matters. In fact my favorite sports team is the Raiders and i've never been to oak town. I just remember Rooting for them when i was young and they were in LA.Some people like a team cuz of a specific player, cuz of the city, or cuz of the teams history or style.

^ to you it may be an ignorant post, but the reality is that it is exactly die hard fans that build superior franchises. Maybe the reason the MLS has never grown in importance or talent is because home city football fans pay thier interests to other clubs.
I respect a lot of teams in different sports, but my point was that people in here are arguing like true die hard fans, and to me it's a shame to see that love and spirit be wasted on a city that doesn't deserve it.

Ended 0 - 0, not much to talk about
Newcastle making a run for that 3rd spot now, it's completely viable they finish 3rd this season.

Oh I watched, but I decided not go to on a +*%@+** tirade, here. Multiple different times in this thread, I have seen people praise Di Matteo, and wrote responses, and deleted them, because I am trying to remain positive, but for anyone that has a working knowledge of football, and saw what happened today, regardless of result, understands that he just does not possess the correct mentality to be the manager of this club.

I drank four cups of coffee during that game. Got a little hyper...I don't have a rooting interest in either team, but I did want to throw my remote at the TV every time Sturridge didn't make a pass.
Hopefully El Clasico is more entertaining. But with Mou knowing that a draw should give them the title, I dunno...

Arsenal - Chelsea was a snorefest, looked like none of the teams had any drive to win at all.
Hopefully El Clasico will be much better.
HamCity your best bet to find a bar is to check twitter. I was thinking of going to the official Real meet up in NYC but I'm not a Madrista so a neutral place will probably be better.
Also World Class V-necks now available and you can now shop on our FB just click on "SHOP" http://www.facebook.com/LBFutbol

I'll be honest, woke up at 7:30 for Chelsea/Arsenal on three hours of sleep and passed out 10 minutes into the match. Charged up for the Clasico. Bird, who would you like to be Chelsea's long-term manager if not RDM? I'd say a point before a vital CL semi trip to Camp Nou is fairly valuable.

I think it's fair to say that Wenger bought the wrong African. Gervinho has been useless....While Cisse and Ba are just looking amazing out there...I really hope Newcastle builds on this next season and picks up a bi tmore quality. It's nice to see more competition...

its hard to tell what newcastle need, i am a huge fan of what they are doing, i would think their only weakness is the backline, and if the tim krul to chelsea rumors are true then that will be a HUGE loss
