Definitely - and really it shows there is often quite a difference of opinion between the average matchgoer and armchair fans.
When you think about it that is not really that surprising since the priorities of each group are sometimes quite different.
I don't think so, people in this thread are fishing with this.
There is no way of categorising the two groups as far as priorities and liking or disliking Mourinho is concerned.
What constitutes a match going fan? Does he have to attend every home game a season? Every away game? Or both?
If there's someone who goes to a dozen games a season are they classed as match going or armchair?
What about someone like me who 3/4 years ago would do almost every away game and half a dozen homes, but now (due to circumstances) does about 2 games a season. What category do I fall under?
I'm led to believe judging by comments on the cafe that 'match going fans' are more traditional and Manchester United winning at all costs isn't their priority. They favour traditions and things like the United way.
Supposedly Armchair fans want to win at any cost, they'll take a Mourinho, they're happy to see people like Giggs and Butt leave the club because they're "undermining".
The thing is, lots of people do not fit into those categories, match going or not.
Take me for example, I'm happy to take Mourinho but I want people like Giggs and Butt to stay at the club because I value club tradition.
There is no set method of thinking , everyone is different, has nothing to do with going to games or not going to games. People want to be self righteous about things but in reality there is absolutely no conclusive evidence that their claims and theories are correct.
It's so fecking boring reading this place and seeing people tell people how they should support Manchester United.
And when that doesn't work they start getting self righteous and try to put people in groups.
I used to use a coach service from London with a lad name Ralph (some on here might know him) who has been going to United games home and away for probably about 40 years. I've heard this guy talk about United and honestly half the time I couldn't believe the stuff that would come out of his mouth. He was overly dramatic and knee jerky and on here he'd probably be labelled a armchair glory hunter but as I said he's a guy who's done United home and away from London for 40 odd years.
Point is nobody fecking cares if you sang about hating Mourinho every week or if you sang at Blackburns away pub.
Nobody cares that you hate Giggs and the co92, nobody cares that you think your way of supporting United is best, do it how you want and just shut the feck up and let others do what they want.
Rant over.
Also this isn't a direct attack on you.
