[@listerofsmeg884]

it's a classic rant, but with a rather flawed analogy. Football fans (and team sports fans in general) can seriously influence a team's performance both on and off the pitch whether or not they attend matches, by buying merchandise and promoting the brand. How can one influence a fictional, scripted and already filmed and edited movie?? A better example would be to say you're a bit supporter of a massive brand like Apple or Microsoft. Doesn't seem nearly as cool but you can influence them in the same way

[@mmaclipsuknow]

Do you? It's a funny sketch but fans ARE a part of the sports team. Their support - both literal and financial - keeps a football club going.

[@RifleEyez]

@@mmaclipsuknow Maybe moreso in the lower leagues? Still when fans gloat over fans of other teams if they win a game/trophy it's like...you didn't do anything, you just got lucky at that moment with the team you arbitrarily picked (even worse if it's a team that regularly wins anyway) There's even less to gloat about if it's from birth as in my case, I was just assigned my support without realizing. Idk, when people ''banter'' others over their support I kind of agree with this sketch ''WE won the league'' ''YOUR team couldn't do that they're not elite'' it's like man, we're arguing over players who couldn't care either of us existed.

[@mmaclipsuknow]

@@RifleEyez i get where you are coming from, no doubt. I feel like it's alright feeling as part of a team. Sure, the players don't care about any fan in particular but most footballers will agree that fans are the 12th player. After all home advantage is a real thing in sports. But yeah, that doesn't give you the rights to go and randomly mock other team fans, that aren't part of the banter.

[@RifleEyez]

@@mmaclipsuknow I think we agree. I understand why people do it (I even subconsciously feel like doing it) but also bantering like you are better than someone else because of an arbitrary decision you made is weird to me. It's so pointless you may as well respond ''well I support Bayern Munich/Real Madrid suddenly and we win way more than you". 12th man I agree, it contributes (along with not travelling, being comfortable in your own changing room, etc) but many fans don't go to games and do the same. But yeah, I'll leave it at that.

This and the other M&W football sketch perfectly characterise everything wrong with modern football and it’s supporters.

The players even acknowledge how important we are hence that is why in football the supporter is know as the 12th man. You still don't believe me?

[@panda4247]

@@TONYCOV881 while I get what you're saying, the phrase "without fans there is no football" is a bit too far. I've been playing football with friends for ages, without any fans. The football was still there :) But *without fans there is no business*, and without business the players can't do it full time and the team can't have the best players. That is similar to the movie analogy presented by David - fans buying the tickets to see the movie, and the merch etc, pay for the movie production - so without fans there is less special effects, less top-level actors, and low chance of sequel (up for discussion whether that is good or bad for some movies). The only difference is perhaps that the fans in a football game can hype the players for better performance, while the movie is shot without fans being present (but then again, there are sitcoms shot in front of live audience, so maybe they have a claim to be part of them?)

For those who don’t know, Liverpool beat Spurs in the European Championship Final, the same competition as the one they won in 2005 against an Italian team called A.C. Milan. Then the year after, they won the league, beating Spurs quite convincingly.

[@maximillianford9301]

As an avid football fan, David has a point. But it's a bit of a conundrum. The name of the team is usually too long to comfortably incorporate into every sentence, so it makes sense to shorten it to a pronoun. But 'they' sounds too impersonal. It sounds like it's referring to the other team, and doesn't do justice to all the emotional and time related investment that you've put into the team you support. It's a funny sketch of course, but it nevertheless makes sense to say 'we.' I'd trust people would be aware that fans who call their team 'we' know they didn't really do anything to contribute to the team's result. It's not meant in a literal sense

Where there is obscene amounts of money, there are no 'clubs', just one massive team that switches around to exploit peoples need to feel part of something. You don't need these twats, support a small team that plays because they like playing and that actually needs fans and the money they bring.

It makes me pleased to see that at least some people are able to understand this, it really does.

[@jamesgkrk]

Very relevant today this sketch

It was brilliant when the rest of the Na'vi helped me kick those bloody humans off Pandora.

[@ThomasSheridanArts]

Brilliant! Give them Irish accents and it'll be more accurate.

[@rivolinho]

Haha, yeah and make it 3/400 miles from the home ground!

[@anonUK]

Liverpool *is* an Irish team, isn't it?

This sketch was the first thing I ever saw featuring Mitchell and/or Webb, however many years ago. Before that point, I knew not what it meant to be truly alive.

[@airguitardemon]

12 points clear in the league with a game in hand, then they should've followed up on this a few months later after Liverpool inevitably choke as they normally do on league duty

[@des2knee962]

David came prepared with alcohol, because he was aware of Webb 's reaction Because deep down he is a spurs fan and wants to drown the loss one glass at a time 😃

Seinfeld did a bit about how supporting your sports team comes down to supporting their uniforms - basically, it's all about supporting clothes. But it was obviously nowhere near as brilliant as this beautiful rant I made here. 😂

Ahahahahaha! I also reacted to the use of "we" by my friends when i was a child in grammar school. I told them that "they" meaning our team, had won, and not "we" because we were not in the team playing.

[@Vannereveilar]

listen, we pay good money to watch'em play, we contribute financially, we influence scorelines and activities within the club even as far as getting a amanager fired, if thats not being part of the club and referring to ourselves as one entity, then you lot are deluded..

[@iHuzza]

steven smith Also, pulling the "financial contribution" card is pretty dumb considering the size of the most-supported Football clubs.
