One for the yanks
Take a look at @davevahey's Tweet:
Kennedy and Einstein were well moody too.Che isn't necessarily a popular person in the eyes of most Americans
Fair point. But they were beloved by the American people.Kennedy and Einstein were well moody too.
I'm not a fan of Che Guevara SoCal. I'm not a student.Fair point. But they were beloved by the American people.
None of that has anything to do with what I said.
That second paragraph is exactly how I feel. Not sure what point you're trying to make.
Zero. Not a single American booked a flight to London because a professional glutton cried at WHL.How many Americans saw that and booked a flight eh?
Whilst i don't strictly dislike Richman as a person, he firstly strikes me as one of those annoyingly chipper american types thats just fucking excited about everything.
The reason i dislike him, however, is that he embodies one of the worst types of fan. The Jonny come latelies that have read the wikipedia pages and got a few books off amazon. They buy shit loads of merch and never miss a game. All the stuff that, at face value should make them great fans... but we all know theres more to it than that, and thats something he'll / they'll never understand. And id have no problem if he said he was a FOOTBALL fan, but he labels himself a SPURS fan, which means he represents us, he represents ME. And he hasn't earned that at all. You can't just pitch up and decide like that and the get pushed to the front of the queue.
And to then see him turn up at a stadium i've been going to since i was 3 months old, and have the VIP treatment rolled out? Doesn't sit right with me.
And its obvious why. Adam Richman is exactly the type of fan Enic and every other PL chairman want to have on board. Rich Yanks that will buy into any old shite with half a narrative.
The crying on the pitch stuff? Bollocks. You can bet that the marketing people at the club fucking loved that though. How many Americans saw that and booked a flight eh? And is it a coincidence that we give him the VIP treatment and suddenly he realises he's totally Spurs?
Its just all fake. Yet he gets to stand on the side of the pitch saying "taxi for maicon" into a microphone 600 times and I'm sat in a seat i paid £40 quid for the privilege listening?
Rep for 'professional glutton'. :eriksenlol:Zero. Not a single American booked a flight to London because a professional glutton cried at WHL.
I don't think its too much of a stretch to imagine a few people having the thought process;Zero. Not a single American booked a flight to London because a professional glutton cried at WHL.
Off the top of my head i wanna say it was a europa league game againstttt.... Dnipro? maybe. Definitely around that time.Can you remember what game that was? I was there too. It was all very odd.
Yeah, I thought it was Europa. It was definitely at night. Cheers.Off the top of my head i wanna say it was a europa league game againstttt.... Dnipro? maybe. Definitely around that time.
Oh, its definitely marketing for Americans. But I can't imagine it got anyone to do anything. They do a lot of weird stuff in the name of marketing.I don't think its too much of a stretch to imagine a few people having the thought process;
"Omg, adam richtman got to go to white heart lane and cried and said it was amazing, id love to go there"
Otherwise, why'd they make the fucking video? Its clearly marketing bullshit for our new american fans.
I was exaggerating with the whole booked a flight thing but the sad part is, only a little bit.Oh, its definitely marketing for Americans. But I can't imagine it got anyone to do anything. They do a lot of weird stuff in the name of marketing.
Wayne Gretzky (who is to hockey what Adam Richaman is to heart disease) was recently at a match. Can't imagine Canadians were drawn to the Lane like moths to a lamp. I mean these are the same people who made that bizarre Dembele/ Jan song battle.
But I was mostly just fucking around. Pretty much agree with most of your original post.
Oh magnificent sir.Glutton dressed as fan.
