What is it with Premiership fans?

[Marc]

Got a taxi from the station to home today and had a lovely chat with the taxi driver (Liverpool fan) and mentioned that I was STH with my 2 boys.

So who do they support then? he says.

Umm...Brighton of course. I reply bemused (good word - think I'll try it later at Withers - I'm bemused by Kuipers being dropped and Virgo playing in goal as rush goalie)

No. He says. Their premiership team. They've gotta have a premiership team or they'll get laughed at, at school.

Like f*** do they. I retort. They're proud little Seagulls and the premiership doesn't even register with them except that it's plastic footie for plastic fans.

Rubbish. He says. Every boy MUST have a decent premiership side to support.

I was a bit miffed by this. In fact my miff was well and truly pissed off.

I'm sure the guy is a really nice bloke and passionate about his footie but Jeez....how condescending and so wrong can he be?

Sadly, they all appear to be like that, those premiership fans.

bad bad man. Very bad. What's wrong with good old-fashioned brainwashing?

I`ve tried all that and more. I thought I had him after the Man City game but it was a false dawn.
Maybe I need to ease off for a year or so and then there might be hope.

Get similar comments from Taxi drivers here in Singapore I point out that there are over 100 professional teams in England and not just the four that the locals all support
