#MURDERINGSCUM
Sparked off by a bit on the BBC about Man Utd vans wanting to alter the layout of the stadium in order to create some sort of atmosphere.
What is the fascination with ‘atmosphere’ at clubs and artificially generating it? I get the whole principle of the 12th man and all that, but it seems to be this odd school of thought that unless your singing and jumping round like a 6 year old on a sugar rush you aren’t a real fan and you’re harming the team.
Personally, I’m there because I want to see a game live, there’s just a connection that’s intangible with actually being there. I’m not there to be a ‘dead good fan’ and go through the song book because some mouthbreather decides that’s what fans need to do.
Don’t get me wrong, when the crowd is roaring then it’s an amazing experience, but it’s always at it rawest when it comes off the back of action on the pitch inspiring the crowd, rather than the other way.
People go on about the amazing atmosphere that European fans create, but how much of the actual game do they see? Plus it’s so utterly phony. It’s like that bird that posts on Instagram about her dead good life, but you know she’s an absolute misery a**e in reality. It’s how I perceive those fans.
I’m not saying go to a game but sit there in silence, sing if you want, but these organised ‘shows of support ’ are the worst things ever. Sit down and watch the football.
