Hey, i'm with you (and Finnegan tbh) but i was playing devils advocate (badly) by saying.. so what? We all know it's basic rotten human nature to take that mentality and it's not going to be any less prevalent in football fans so what's the point in bitching about it. The majority of us know better (inequality of euro footy finance - to use a technical term) but we choose to ignore that. Maybe some of us feel we can indulge in that mentality in football related matters because it 'doesn't really matter' and it's just 'part of the game'.
That might well be a big load of nonsense, sorry.
