I wasn't talking about you, I was going after Paul who believes that every person who calls him self a fan should not be able to face himself in the mirror unless he spends every free moment studying Juve history until he has achieved a familiarity on par with Paul's. Every aspiring fan should also attend as many live matches as possible, no matter what their geographical starting point is. Should the fan fail to live up to these standards, he/she is effectively degrading the whole fan culture and should have the decency to stay clear of such respectable labels.

Does anyone else here plan their day around watching the game ???
Or, tape the games, or download them off the computer to watch at a later time ???
I know that not everyone can see all the games, but I dont think their less of a fan.
However, I do have a problem with ppl who didnt see the match, but comment on it like they have. They will tell you that you are wrong, even after you saw the match, and they havent.
Paul is a huge Juve fan, and knows more about our team than anyone else that I know. I think he deserves a heck of a lot of respect for his devotion to our team....
