I agree with that sentiment. I'm pretty sick of people saying that those who support big clubs are automatically glory hunters. These days, there are several ways you're going to get into a football club 1 - taken along by your dad etc 2 - going with your mates in your teens as something to do 3 - seeing a team on tv With options 1 and 2, the club is ingrained into you early on, and it also means it'll likely be your local club, who may or may not be a good side. Well, with option 1, it is also somewhat likely its not your local team, as was the case with me. With option 3, its likely to be a top side, for two reasons. a) the top sides are most commonly on TV and you're not gonna root for the shit team are you? It's not human nature I don't think, not usually anyway. If you're lucky enough to have a football supporting dad, then option 1 is where you get your team. If you're lucky enough to live near the ground of a football team, then option 2 is where you may get your team. If not, then, what you're left with option 3. And as Alex said, as long as you then stick with that team, I see no problem with it.
