Ask many 'supporters' of these big clubs like Man Utd who are they playing next and I'll bet they won't know. They are often astounded when you give them the answer. Vain, shallow bandwagoners the lot of them.
There aint half been some clever bastards.

True Geordie's view of the Championship (first two minutes)
Why does he think his fabulous team ended up in our league then? Another f@cking muppet who thinks they are too big for the championship.Let him and his ilk bugger off and struggle in the top league again next season.W@nker.

@stowmarketrange 'muppet who thinks they are too big for the championship'
No doubt about it (and he's certainly not trying to hide it). He's given up doing match videos as he considers the Championship so insignificant.
Having said that, there is something absurd about a manager who's won La Liga, the UEFA Cup and the Champions League having to mastermind results against Burton, Rotherham etc.

I hate watching a team struggle to knock a ball around the reason you dont see this is becasue newcaslte are so bad in the premier league you never see them with the ball to see them struggling even the season we went down we managed to beat them

This is my go to (and let's face it, even amongst QPR fans, my default position anyway). They soon bog off.
Another good one - start talking about aspects of their ground which you have been to but they have invariably not to see if they slink off or try to blag they've been

I was talking to a young bloke recently who wasn't actually born when the Prem started.
It was round the time when Brentford came to ours and I was discussing the game and slowly became aware that he was looking at me with incredulity. The fact that I supported QPR (and went to games) and my boss supported Brentford (and went to games) was, frankly, beyond him.
He of course grew up in Queens Park, "supports" Arse and doesn't go to any games.
Football becoming hip and trendy has created a veritable cnts parade of people that various situations in life force me to be in the vicinity of.
1 - Monday night 7 a side football league at Finsbury Park, where one of the nastier pricks in a team of needlessly violent, gobby arsholes plays in a blue Arsenal away shirt from around 1994 to show what a proper long term supporter he is. Not, it should be said, proper and long term enough not to play 7 a side on a Monday night in his Arsenal shirt while Arsenal are playing a match, sometimes only three quarters of a mile away, on the television. Now I know Arsenal tickets are expensive and blah blah blah but firstly I get offered bloody tickets to their boring home games for free more often than I do spares at QPR because half the seats in that space ship are corporate season tickets that nobody uses. And if you can't get one of those then you watch it on the tv. And if you haven't got Sky then you go to the pub to watch it. And if you can't afford the pub or don't have one near you showing it you listen to it or stream it on the internet. And if you have no internet you listen to it on the radio. Otherwise take that fcking shirt off you mug. And if I snap his leg, I'm the one in the wrong.
2 - The Chelsea fan at work who calls them "The Chels". Occasionally I get cornered in a lift with this guy who will talk about "the blue boys" latest win before enquiring "are you still going to QPR?"as if following a football club is something you just pick up and drop whenever you feel like it. And I'll say yes and he'll ask where we're going this weekend and I'll say Leeds and he'll say crikey and shake his head as if Leeds is on the fcking moon and the idea of going there to watch your football team play is as horrficly unthinkable as locking your kids in the house and setting the place on fire. "Do you go to every game then?" he'll say. He asks me this every time. I think he's asked me it 36 times in the six years I've worked here. And I'll say yes. And he'll laugh and shake his head, as if I've just told him I'm a Scientologist. Occasionally (twice in the six years) he'll attend a match himself at "The Chels" owing to some corporate hospitality becoming available, which will provoke a three week long monologue about "The Chels" being broadcast around the office so everybody knows he's going to see "The Chels". And if I pushed him down the fire escape, I'd be the one in the wrong apparently.
3 - The 'second team' brigade. Loads of these back home who go to watch Scunthorpe, Grimsby or Hull all week but are "actually Chelsea/Liverpool/Man Utd" fans. There they sit, every week, at an actual professional football club, while apparently "supporting" another. "Liverpool and Hull City" it will say on their Twitter profiles. THEY'RE IN THE SAME LEAGUE YOU COMPLETE FCKING HELMET. Of course when Liverpool come to Hull the fact that you were born in Hull, brought up in Hull, attend all the Hull games, have a Hull season ticket, and a Hull home shirt, and a house in Hull, and have been to Liverpool once in your life on a coach trip for a pre-season friendly with Inter Milan goes out of the window and you immediately become a passionate Liverpool supporter, desperately hoping they beat the team you go to watch every week. I cope with the existence of these people by thinking about whatever grim cancer or high speed car crash will eventually kill them. We were having a post match drink in the Green a few years ago watching MOTD after a midweek fixture and a guy there wanted to know who our "Premier League team was". We said "we're QPR fans" and he said he knew, but as they weren't in the Premier League who was our "Premier League team". And if I'd glassed him in the face I'd have been the one in the wrong.
I'll come back to this. I'm going out for some air.

Related to Clive's post which I won't quote for length sake, but it really grinds my gears that I am unable to appreciate Barcelona, one of the greatest teams of all time, because of the amount of know nothing, phone stream watching Barca "fans" from the north west London suburbs who act like they grew up in El Raval .

My favourite, ABSOLUTELY never be beaten favourite, comes from a conversation I had with a Man Utd fan about 25 / 26 years ago. It was a Saturday night, in those days it was quite common to have to wait for an early edition of the Sunday papers before we got the facts on the fixtures. I'm around at this chaps house and he suddenly announces he's shooting off down to a local petrol station that gets the Sundays delivered around 10.30pm. Ten minutes later he rushes in, paper open at appropriate pages shouting out the United score and crowing that Ogee got the goal. Not being much interested in the goings on in Salford I shrugged and got on with whatever it was I doing. Later on,when he'd fcked off to annoy someone else, I picked up the paper and started perusing the days results and indeed Man Utd had won by a single goal that day, an og.

I play at the Sobel in Finsbury Park, always wear a qpr shirt. Always get a few funny looks . Anyway my local pub is 70% Arsenal / 30 % spurs. If you go in on a match day the same 20 / 30 blokes will be in there watching the TVs (in their club shirts). I have never known any of them ever attend a game.
Ask them why and they say I used to go back in the day but can't afford it now / it's gone all corporate blah blah. You can however afford to spend 10 hours in the pub I think. I am the only one in the pub who ever goes to a game. Then you get the "got a lot of respect" for you going to qpr every week. I don't need your respect you arrogant twt, I just support my team. I might have some respect for you if you did the same. Oh and I can get a bus from outside this pub and be at WHL in 20 mins or the Emirates in 15 and you still don't go.

talking of this I have a complete moron who supports Liverpool in my office I love to goad him and wind him up , its something on the lines of how poor Klopp is and how brilliant Bredan Rodgers was , anyway the bloke was getting louder and louder in his whining yesterday as I was saying how much Klopp chokes in the big games he was going no way he is class , and I said you choked in 2 finals last year this fcuking idiot went "what finals, we never got to any finals" I said do you actually have a clue what your talking about you were in the Europa league and league cup , he went "yeah but they don't count, mickey mouse cups they are" I said your a bell end and walked off , and this is a man who is 55 years old who reckons he has followed the club through thick & thin
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I know I'm in a minority but before walking out at work last November I worked with a follower of that lot down the road & still meet him for a drink & was very happy to talk football with him!
He has the opposite profile to most of them though! Started watching them in '70 & was a regular until moving to Felixstowein the '90's. Family & finance mean that he has not been to a game in the Russian's reign. Of course, he takes the piss out of my Rangers connections, but this is due to old rivallry & expects me to reciprocate.
This means that we can get the crap out of the way & then discuss football & our two teams properly. And yes, he was at LR for a cerrtain 6-0 game!

At my South London school in the late 90s/early 00s, lunchtime football games were often organised according to the team you supported. As this was pre-monied Ibramovich Chelsea, and the height of Wenger's successful years, Arsenal fans outnumbered all others 5:1. Of course, only a couple had ever been to Highbury, and some I don't think had been across the river.
Even as massive underdogs by virtue of numerical disadvantage, I fancied our chances. The best player in the year was a West Ham fan and there was a Rangers season ticket holder who was a fantastic goalkeeper.
Imagine my dismay, as I noticed as we were about to kick off that the Rangers season ticket holder was in goal for the Arsenal side. I asked him why he wasn't on our side and he claimed he supported both and that he picked Arsenal because QPr were rubbish.
Think we lost 5-0 and that week I got more sh t than normal about supporting "quite possibly relegated" etc.

My favourite was a Man Utd fan from work asking me what division we were in about two weeks after we’d played them at the Cottage in the league. We’d been in the PL for about seven seasons at that point. Man Utd wallpaper on his desktop, chats about Man Utd for about two hours every Monday morning, is obsessed with fantasy league, but he was genuinely surprised that we were in the same division. Weird.
A Liverpool fan asked me what I was doing with some holiday I’d booked off work, I told him I was going to Rome to watch Fulham and he said, “Isn’t it on the telly, then?”. Cos, why would you go to Rome for a few days with your mates to watch your team play Roma at the Stadio Olimpico when you could watch it on your sofa in your replica shirt with a few cans of beer and a pizza? I guess you either get it or you don’t. If you don’t go, you don’t know, which is why our equaliser against Leeds in the 5th minute of stoppage time the other night probably gave me a bigger buzz than your average Armchair fan experiences when they win a cup or the league. Told the same Liverpool fan I couldn't take him seriously when he was slating Roy the Boy as he'd never even been to the city of Liverpool. He asked how that was relevant, I told him his opinion wasn't relevant because he was a plastic tw at and flounced off to the bogs. If you're gonna slag Roy around me, you've got to be prepared for a petty below the belt dig and a dramatic flounce.
Since our relegation, I’ve had a few people seem stunned that I should still be interested in going to watch Fulham in the Championship.

How about this nob? Got taken over by a new company & this fella rocks up to introduce himself to me. See's the QPR on my screen save, hard hat, mouse mat etc. "What division you in now?" "Championship" I reply, then we go on to have a work related conversation. At the end of it he says "By the way Im an Aston Villa fan"
