The loneliness of the football fan

It is easy to continue to support a team if they continue to win trophies.

There is this man I know. I will call him K. K and I got talking about football and I asked him which Premier League team he supported. He said he was a Chelsea fan although he used to be an Arsenal one. “These days Arsenal makes me mad,” he added with hardly comprehensible indignation. I inwardly chuckled but said nothing. After a while I said that I had never come across a fan who had switched his team. “You have now,” he replied with disdain.
