Ah, that's exactly what I mean... if you're a loyal person, you're a loyal person. That goes for life, as well as your football club...
But it's the loyalty that is 'bestowed' upon you (whether you like it or not) from generations of Family members who wouldn't have you support ANY other team... if you don't like it, tough, it's YOUR TEAM!
...compared to that moment, when at 0-4 down at home (for example) against a team you could've been supporting instead, and it dawns on you that you CHOSE this, no one told you to... YOU DECIDED to do this to yourself!
I just wonder if there is a different feeling of pain? (and the disappointment that your Great Great Grandfather didn't support Real Madrid... everyone's Boyhood club!)
It's like when someone hits YOU with a hammer, you feel aggrieved, that SOMEONE else has done this to you... but if YOU hit your own thumb with the same hammer, it's your own stupid fault, and you have no one else to blame but yourself!
Just throwing it out there... thass all!
