We have a club here that is unlike any other football club in England (I know the Rangers/Celtic fans can be a bit 'odd'). But with this club its supporters truly believe they are the greatest that has ever been: that everybody in the universe loves them and we all wish we hadn't declared our support for a rival club many years ago. They believe we sit at home nursing regrets that we didn't choose to follow the dippers and become a member of their cult.
The fact that their supporters, fully-grown adults, believe this is cause for concern, I think. They will indoctrinate their children and their children's children into blindly following in their footsteps, despite these youngsters being able to make their own minds up. Like religion, intimidating youngsters by saying believe in God or you WILL go to Hell and be with the Devil. Fucked up minds.
The dippers are no better or worse than any other football club, from the grass-roots upwards. You start with an idea to form a kick-about team with your schoolmates and a hundred years or so later you're a famous professional football team. That's how clubs start. But to genuinely believe that for some reason the club you support is superior in every way to any other football club, past, present and future, is just downright absurd.
The clubs we follow win games, lose games, and draw games: that is the nature of the beast. That is what we signed up for when we first got into the sport.
No genuine set of football fans seriously believe that they have a divine right to win everything, every season - but they do.
