Fortunately, Diego seems nothing like Zlatan in that regard. But this is more about the fans than the player.
Some fans are "mercenaries" much like we accuse players of being (Cannavaro, Thuram, Zambrotta, etc.). They often tend to support a player at the expense of the club.
For example, one of the things I am thankful for wrt calciopoli was (besides getting rid of Zlatan's bad apple) shedding off a layer of fair-weather fans who support the club and buy the jersey only as long as we win championships a la 8-year-old Manchowder United fan-boys. People who support a player and disrespect the club aren't behaving much better than this, IMO.
For some people, hey, that's completely fine -- everybody gets their rocks off in different ways. But for fans of the club, putting players ahead of the club is more than just a little annoying for us. As a team sport, it's about club success to us -- and not individual player statistics to gloat about for your avatar in FM2010.
Exactly, good post. After finally coming to terms about the relegation, the first thing I thought was that we'd rid ourselves of the weak and mercenary supporters. I recall some posters here, including Ian and Falafel, taking a hike to Barcelona once our fate was sealed.
So even despite the torture and loss of revenue in Serie B, at least the bloodsuckers were weeded out from those who actually cared about the club. Perhaps the only positive facet of Calciopoli.
Speaking of bloodsuckers...
I'll handle that one.
Anyway, the Israel part in my user info was because i got upset with some guys here spreading Israel hatred, i had nothing on there before and there a few of us here so didnt want to look like I'm hiding.
Israel are no friends of real Americans, that's for damn sure. If it were me, I'd drop you guys (Israel, IDF) like a rock, because all you do is bring us problems you expect us to resolve while we fund your terrorist bombings. Leech off of somebody else for a change.
Here we speak about Genoa-Juventus not about a Blood sucking group.
Interesting, but fanboys aren't welcome either. I take it you might be one of those individuals who will support someone else once Diego leaves, or once we play Maccabi Haifa in one month's time. :rolleyes2
So what does ny name IrishZebra have to do with my behaviour on this forum, Im interested in finding out.
Theres some pure no reason hatred of Israel here alright, you should check out the Israel/Palestine thread
Obviously, you're IRA. Don't bomb me, bro.
