I played football because I loved it, I watched it, and still do, because I loved it!! So long as I can still watch it and love it my ambition in that respect is satisfied. Must my team be in the PL before I am allowed to enjoy it?? Should I look down on Alfreton Town FC because they are small fry and remind them that they will never win the PL. If I did then I would be a cretin and a stupid one at that.
If you can only support success then it's time to look for something else, it's the playing not the winning!!
But i didn't say that.
The PL is the goal for every league club.
Your persepctive is not the norm. I repsect it, but are you seriously talling me, that any club followed by football supporters don't/wouldn't push for their team to be as good as it could be?
That just enjoying "football" is what they want?

Just to remind you, now that you mention the enjoyment side of it.
We all watch it for that reason and are you saying that watching Mickleover is better/ more entertaining than watching Brazil / Barcelona/ Liverpool?

Of course not, we all enjoy watching the best footballers turf up th best football.
We'll see how enntertained you are at the end of the season in the 3rd tier. Its awful entertainment wise, no matter how nostalgic you are.
