Generalization...

Im usually against generalisation but its a fact that most gals dun usually watch soccer n dun noe nuts abt it. Y the sudden comment? Well cause u see i went online tis morn ard 2+ to check the score line of the newcastle-blackburn result. While waiting for the slow IE to load, i juz check out the nicks of my frens on msn n wat i saw kinda shock me....: "Blackburn WON". Tis shock me not cuase blackburn won(tho it displease me) but cause who was using it...

Tat was part of betsy's nick, or rather, part of her personal msg. All this while tat i noe her, i have never heard her tok abt the EPL so it really kinda shock me. So i ask her n it was cfm tat she's a blackburn fan. Lets face it, most gals in spore dun really watch soccer and those who do watch a little tend to support the big 4. Tat is : Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool & Chelsea(sad to say newcastle no longer part of the big 4). I mean these are basically the mainstream clubs in the EPL n wen u dun really follow smth u tend to juz back the mainstream, its juz human nature.

Im not criticising gals or being a sexist here so i'll use myself as an example here. For example, i dun really follow the La liga(spanish league) or the Serie A(italian) but i do support teams there too. In Spain, Real Madrid n Barca are the 2 mainstream clubs there tho Real ah much more popular. N im a supporter of Barca tho u wun see me following it every single week. In Italy, there r 3 mainstream club, Inter Milan, AC Milan n Juventus. Tho, Inter n AC are without a doubt more popular, im a juve fan but its still a mainstream club. My point here, is tat even those gals who do occasionally follow soccer tend to back the mainstream clubs who juz happened to be labeled the big 4 in england.

So i was quite shock to find out that Bets actually support Blackburn. Not tat im saying blackburn is a lousy club tho. I myself was once a blackburn fan wen they won the EPL. Tho it was tat very same season tat i 'discovered' Newcaslte United Football Club or NUFC for short. After blackburn's truimph, i switch my colors to the famous black n white. I was young then n din noe much abt loyalty. Before blackburn n Newcastle, i also supported Forrest n Man U tho i am an Anti-man U fan now.

Niways, i was thinking to myself tat i have a fren who is one of those rare gals who follow soccer. Not that i duno female soccer fans. As far as i noe, out of my frens n family, Azie supports arsenal, Bia supports Real Madrid, my sis n several other older female cousins support liverpool, my aunt is a man u fan tho i have yet to meet a chelsea fan...So niways, u see the female soccer fans tat i noe so far all support the mainstream clubs for one reason or another(my aunt supports man u simply cuz her husband does too)...

So here is Betsy, a blackburn suppporter. Im impressed. But i had to make sure haha so i asked her, "do u noe any of their players" ANSWER: "No". erkz....was i wrong??? Ok mebi she does follow but juz doesnt noe their names. Afterall, nowadays, blackburn players are mostly scandanavian n their names are not easy on asians. So i ask her how long have u supported them? ANSWER :"For years oredy"...in my head now, "wow a real true blue fan who do follow soccer" N before i cld ask y she supported blackburn instead of other clubs, she tpld me this....

"I support them cause of their name. I lyk their name"

Me:"...."

Hahaha wat a dissapointment man, haha juz wen i tot i figured out human nature, it jumps out n surprise me. Sheesh haha....see, this is y i say human nature is interesting. So dun blame me if i do my experiments aite ;) hehe...

OUTZ.....
