Very good points mate. I don't however see how supporting a team from another country makes you plastic? I've supported chelsea for an easy 3-4 years more then I started following A-league, and will always love chelsea much more, have stronger support for and follow closer than any A-league club that I will ever support, why? because football in our country is purely fucked. They couldn't get their shit together with the NSL, and they way things are going the A-League is going to be dead in a few years. So supporting international clubs is an okay output for situations like this. However this bloke from ENGLAND, being die-hard about a spanish team just isn't right, when he has one of the worlds biggest and best leagues on his home soil. I'm not having a go at anyone, just giving my opinion, and reading this as I'm writing it I think i've somewhat agreed with your argument
