I think its time to put things into perspective. As a
football supporter of 30 years I had the pleasure yesterday to take
my son to his first soccer game (he is 3 and a half). He
loved the clapping, the shouting, the band and he occasionally
watched the football. But taking him there got me thinking,
while it would have been great for him to see the Phoenix win,
wasn't yesterday perhaps a more realistic representation of what it
is like to be a football fan i.e. 99%
frustration/disappointment/boredom and 1% absolute ecstasy.
And it made me wonder how long until he sees his football team win
a title.
So my question to all of you is as a supporter of a team(s) how long have you had to wait for a title or cup of any kind. I'll begin with
England 41 years and counting
Arsenal 18 years between 1971 and 1989 for a league title.
All Blacks 20 years and counting!

The Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur fans will be coming out
of the woodwork in droves!
In these money-fuelled days of the Premier League it is hard
to believe, but for those of us supporting at the time it was all
too real- Manchester United: 26 years for a title
(1967-1993).

Partick Thistle FC (founded 1876):
Scottish Cup winners 1921, Runners-up 1930
Scottish League Cup Winners 1971
SFL Div 1 winners 1975/76 and 2001/02
SFL Div 2 winners 2000/01

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

England I've been waiting 40 years for and is the one I'm most
desperate to see win.
Brighton took until I was 34 to win something - the title of
what is now called League Two for their first trophy in 36 years.
They followed it up when I was 35 with the League One title. Then
when I was 37, they won the League One Playoffs.
Losing hurts more than winning feels good. You can't
appreciate the win until you've earnt it through years of hurt (you
can tell I'm English, eh!)... but when it comes
