Why are there Bundesliga fans on a Manchester United forum getting offended by a German professional player saying that he’s found it difficult in the premier league? If an Ex-United player found it difficult in the Bundesliga it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest, why are fans of teams in other leagues so defensive?
I think when people say the PL is the best league in the world they don’t mean that Burnley would beat Bayern every week they mean the Premier League is extremely competitive and exciting to watch. That’s it. People aren’t saying that Premier league teams are the best in the world.
I couldn’t imagine being on a Bayern Munich forum defending Liverpool because they got beat by a German club in the Champions league. It’s very strange, I want every PL team to get walloped by foreign opposition every time they play. Couldn’t imagine wanting a PL team to win to prove PL superiority, very odd.
Imagine ‘choosing’ to support Bayern Munich a very successful team, who you have no real connection to other than ‘they win stuff in Germany’ to then make an account on another teams forum to shit on the way they’re run and how bad their team is and how bad the league they play in is.
Might choose to be a Juventus fan today and go on the Chelsea forum and tell them why they aren’t top of the league. How weird would I have to be?
One thing you're missing is that your personal attitude to football is not representative of everyone else's. You're probably a passionate Man United fan (given how you're phrasing this), but most fans of other clubs on this forum probably aren't quite as partisan about their own clubs. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here having general football discussions, but would be creating posts like yours on their own clubs' forums. So it's only natural that, say, German posters on here don't mind as much to speak neutrally of German clubs that they don't support.
Also, I'm not sure what the comment about Bayern Munich fans is based on. What makes you think all the Bayern posters on here have no connection at all to the club? (as you seem to imply) And even if that's true for some of them, how is that different from the many United fans on here, especially those based outside the UK , that in many cases only became aware of United because they were winning stuff under Ferguson?
Finally, you seem surprised about
@Zehner's style of responding, but since you chose to phrase your post in a ridiculing and condescending way (it does come across that way even if you didn't intend it to), of course you can expect people to push back with some aggression as well - especially since you're no way near the first poster to make this point.
