Can we seriously discuss the problem of international club supporters? Unless you have played for the club or if you have lived in the city of the club and regularly attended their home games, you have NO connection to the club and can NOT be a real supporter, as simple as that. You may claim you are a supporter, but you are nothing more than a customer.

Seriously, do these people not understand how pathetic they look? Just take Eternal Arsenal thread for example. It is crawling with foreign flags that think they have a connection with the club when in reality they just picked Arsenal because they thought Arsenal was a good team on FIFA 20 years ago or maybe they had a favorite player there a few years ago. This is NOT A FUCKING CONNECTION TO THE CLUB. You don't know the supporters and you don't know the atmosphere in the arena. How can you sympathize with the rivalry to Tottenham when you have never even lived in London?

I'm sorry but I really had to ventilate here because it frustrates me to see so many Swedish people pretend like they are true supporters of a foreign club when they are just autistic glory hunters that need some meaning with their lives and the local clubs are apparently not good enough. I feel like there needs to be psychological study on these people, why they end up behaving like this because it shouldn't be normal and is fucking stupid.

Well ... you are right
I wonder as well. It is possible for foreigners to become fans of a certain club, but all too often, it's extremely cringe overcompensation and has absolutely no substance

Why do international players get to join clubs and be celebrated as stars and legends, but you have a problem with international fans?

Football is entertainment, football players are entertainers, there’s little point in supporting entertainers who consistently put on a poor show.

You have a point. People from Gateshead most certainly should NOT be supporting Newcastle United.

It's weak people who have to show support for something they think will be successful as a proxy for personal success

Even if a fan supported his home team, if that team plays in the big leagues, them it’s a corporation, owned by foreign billionaires, managed by a foreign millionaire, fielding players who, not only didn’t grow up in the fan’s home town, most of the players are foreigners too. Supporting a club is no different than brand loyalty, the club’s supporters are customers no matter where they came from.
