Only fans of a small selection of clubs would write a post like this. It's the sort of thing Liverpool fans were writing after they left their virtual monopoly of the league behind them too.

On the internet or did they buy foolscaps for that?

Absolutely made up tripe.

OP

I am going to call you DbD for short. It has a kind of entertaining ring to it.

Also, football is about winning, not trophies necessarily.

Here are a list of teams and their qualities:

Good football + trophies = Man City
Medium football + Trophies = Chelsea
Bad football + Trophies = Man Utd
Good football + No trophies = Arsenal
Medium football + No trophies = Spurs
Bad football + No trophies = Liverpool

Based on your preferences and my analysis of info and data, you should support Arsenal.

Us at United value trophies first, football last. You prefer football first and trophies last, you sir, are an Arsenal fan and need to get the HELL out of my club. You are destroying the very fabric of our club, which is winning TROPHIES.

Nice of you to join us briefly, now CLEAR OFF!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure Arsenal have won trophies recently though, last time I checked we won the FA Cup in 2014, 2015 and 2017
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You mean the mediocre trophy the big clubs don't care about? We are too busy concentrating on the CL and qualifying for that. Something Arsenal should try more of. Small club mentality Arsenal.

FFS are you Wahl is disguise?

This is the sort of utter, mind numbing garbage he comes up with

Me dad used to say: ''A hard head makes for a soft behind''.

That's what keyboard warriors are: soft.

Insult me all you want but I don't do internet skirmshes. Now, back to the topic at hand.

(i.e golf is competitive but know where near as entertaining as Basketball).

Basketball is fun to play
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite a lot of sport is fun to play, yet annoying/boring to watch. Funnily enough, I'd probably put both Golf and Basketball in this category.

You're missing the point. Entertainment - not glory - is what draws people sport. Take that ingredient away & you're left with what? The equivelent of paint drying. Trophies & glory hunting has led to clubs having a win at all cost.

I knew that the game was dying a slow death when pundits, journos & fans where showering clowns like Pulis & churning out phrases like ''staying is the only thing that matters'' even though Stoke were playing a rubbish brand of football. This is the win at all costs mentality that I have a problem with. It takes away a key ingredient in football - ENTERTAINMENT.

Barry lands another thick scouser.

Well done Greasy.

It's surely a mixture of both. It doesn't have to be one or the other. City proved that last year.

posted on 22/11/18

The journey matters most for me, like last season we lost tje cl final. That sucked would loved to have won it but still the road to the final was great and i loved every minute of it. That still happened even if we did lose the final.

Same for me with ROI. Will we ever win an international trophy? No hope, but qualifying for one and taking part in it is great.

That wasn't your point at all.

Your point was that trophies are overrated, yet the examples you cite are people who play boring football specifically not to win trophies, but rather just to remain in the league (Pulis etc). So therefore there's no connection and you're tying yourself in knots.

Or like Leeds have proved for 20 years. It can be both. Bad football and no success. Lol.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly my point. At the end of the day, only ONE team can win the league or whatever major tournament. The journey along the way - even if you don't win - is what matters. The end to end action, late equalizers, goal line clearances etc is what the game is about.

I prefer that over ''parking the bus to win'' mentality.

We are entertaining yet ultimately unsuccessful, my friends,
And we'll keep on entertaining but lack the fight to win 'til the end.
We are entertaining yet ultimately unsuccessful.
We are entertaining yet ultimately unsuccessful.
No time for lack of entertainment but ultimately success
'Cause we are entertaining yet ultimately unsuccessful, offff the Woorrrrrldd
