The marketing mans dream four,
�
�manchester utd - very big in China
�liverpool - always been supported in Thailand
�chelski - only arrived since the Russian turned up
�arsenal - popular in most afro-caribean countries
�
The main point worth mentioning is that all of these companies have�OD'ed on foreign imports, thus contributing to the decline of all lower league clubs and the English national team.

Sorry Prof you are in an un-arguable position, mate.

Not gonna argue the point that these clubs have marketed themselves really well gloabally, you comment earlier wa that the people wo support them withpout any basis annoy you? I ask again, what constitutes one of these people? All of the afro-carribean countries that watch the EPL because some of there players are in the Gunners, or Russions becaus ea russiona owns Chelski.....or the kiwis, aussies etc who support one of the "cool" teams cos they win loads????
Im with theprof on this. What is wrong with someone new coming to the game and deciding to support one of the big four. If your a 15 year old in NZ with no ties to another team and you start following football why is it so bad that you start supporting a big four club?
No-one can ever answer that.
Agreed. I've decided to support Braintree cause I find Prem League boring, But I can fully understand why people want to support a team that wins - I mean why would you want the team you support to be mediocre.
What I have a problem with is people who "support" a top 4 team until they become mediocre and then move onto a new top 4 team.
You choose a team to support and you stick with them.
