^ what I don't get is someone could be living in Tabriz, Rasht or NY and refer to Teams in England as 'my team' or 'our team'. Theres a revolving door for coaches and players and by saying that you are siding with owners or local fans, and if you don't live locally, then you're siding with the owners, IMHO. And also if your cousin is Alex Sanchez then I understand.
I mean even Ali Daei don't refer to bayer as his team and he played there.
I myself enjoy following the league but looking for underdogs to shine or follow certain coach or club progress.
