Nobody's right or wrong except me, so idk why there needs to be such vivacious defending of one's own opinion on this topic, but that said & sticking to the tune, my opinion is that I watch sport to be entertained - not to have satisfaction at the final numbers like "2-1" or whatever. Numbers don't mean shit, to me, I'm watching football and not a math lecture; and celebrating some math, which is what you're doing when you go "Yipeeeee!!!! 6 points ahead of City!!! Doesn't matter how we played!!!", seems bonkers to me. It really just boils down to personality types which is why there's going to be no conclusion here & just endless opinions. P.S. - If it's just the winning and the results that matter, what the fuck are you staring at a screen or sitting on a cold hard seat for 90 minutes for? Just check Yahoo results after the game if how a team plays isn't important to you, or check the highlights on MOTD if all that matters is the goals banged in at the end of the day.
