Exactly.
I'm afraid very few premiersh!te fans can call themselves loyal, unless you know what its like to follow a lower league team all over the country you dont know what loyal means.

I think you'll find there are a lot of loyal supporters, and they tend to be in the lower divisions. Last season I was as I am now, and have been for the last 4/5 years, a Woking FC fan. We lost 8 games on the trot, thats a record. We were almost bankrupt, we had about one decent player, and on a number of occasions I travelled as far as Morecambe to see us fall 5 - 0 away, and then 6 - 0 on the return match at home.
I do not overlook the likes of Portsmouth and Leeds hoever, and i'd argue that they are possibly more loyal. Spurs are rich, however poor they've been this season they are very likely to be better next, and i don't know how you can call yourself overly loyal to a crap team who are "OMG DEY R 12fth dats pants" when you see the likes of Leeds, Carlisle, and even as low as Farnborough who are out of money, and hope. Some of these clubs are quite possibly doomed, but the still turn out.
I'm afraid Spurs fans are a long, long, long way off being the most loyal, and that stick by their team week in and week out.

and so would leeds. i went to see leeds play arsenal, and us leeds fan's roared, even when 5-0 down. we are just having a good time. yes, in a fan's league, pompey and leeds would be top. i listended to the phone-in on radio five live after the match and everyone commented on the leeds fans.
yes, you get all these moaning liverpool fan's, who moan at not winning, and taking out on houllier, but times have changed.....

Well, sometimes you get a lot of spamming JATs join in one day, and on better days, there are none. Sane JATs are a rare thing.

forest fan, you only had 120 posts a month ago! that was worked out by, taking your 30 day post from your total last week, its not really surprising you haven't met people.
I'm a bit of an irregular at times, often go a month with out posting then make a resurgence in the hols when internet is there and you have to actually organise things.

Fantastically well constructed point too, eh Forest Fan?

Which had what to do with me saying "trolls like you"?
Posting random statements doesnt make you the height of articulateness.
