I was browsing through Twitter and I saw a shot someone posted where Eric Cantona (a former professional footballer) was quoted saying that people can change wives, change religion and even politics, but can not change their favorite football team.IMO, For someone who is already a fanatical fan of a football club, I think it is very difficult to change. And it would even be like betraying his old club that he idolized. Especially if we have joined a club, it will be much harder to change.(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/03/vHHha.png)
This is not possible at all,changing your favourite team to another team,it's like falling in love with two different Women,but this one is quite different,I wonder how many can be so faithful to a particular club without switching to another when their team lose.So many times I have tried changing my team to another club who is doing well,but I find out that it so impossible to do that.I am a Liverpool fan,and I will remain a Red till death do us path.This is a club I loved from childhood,and till date,I'm still in love with my club.Well that's your own take on this, for me I believe it's very possible to change your club to another especially when you have really fallen out of interest for that team. I know of a friend who was freakishly in love with Manchester united and the reason being was that he loved their star player as of then but the moment Ronaldo left that club, his interest for the club started depreciated and it became worse when the clubs performance also reduces and that was what sealed his deal.
This is so true. When you are a true fan of a club, you hardly switch to another club, no matter how badly your club performs.I remember when my team was in a bad situation, I criticized, but it was all for the good of the team I supported too. Even when my favorite team was doing well, I would occasionally criticize them, even though my voice might not be heard, but it was my concern.
This is one of the habits, of a diehard fan of a club exhibit. You find them sticking to a club, and not letting go, because of the love they have developed for the club they support.
A diehard fan of a club is always there, through the ups and downs of the club and they're the ones who feel bad and murmur when the club they support is not in good shape(performance). But in the end, they are not to let go because they believe, their club will bounce back someday
I remember when my team was in a bad situation, I criticized, but it was all for the good of the team I supported too. Even when my favorite team was doing well, I would occasionally criticize them, even though my voice might not be heard, but it was my concern.
No matter how bad the team looks, I will remain loyal, that's what loyalty is all about. For supporters, we may have heard these words a lot, "don't just be there when they are doing well, but we must still support when they are doing badly". That's what a true supporter is.

Lionel Messi is another perfect example to me, it still seems like a dream that he left Barcelona. so if Messi will be in Barcelona right from his childhood and still leave, in my opinion it is possible one should change from his favorite team to another, what matters is comfort.
So, I began to think within myself if actually this is true for everyone else, and if there is some kind of mystery behind football clubs and team fanship.No, it doesn't apply to all people.
That's the point, the criticism we deliver is constructive criticism, not criticism to bring down. I even question someone who says they are a true supporter but they never criticize the team they support. Is that a true supporter or what?I remember when my team was in a bad situation, I criticized, but it was all for the good of the team I supported too.

It is normal to criticize a team you support and criticisms doesn`t mean you changed or developed hatred for your favourite football club. Generally, constructive criticisms is geared towards improvement and when we criticize our favourite team it is because we wish them to do better. That is passion. When your favourite team is winning it brings joy in the mind of fans and vice versa.
loving a football team is like loving our partner, we will be loyal even if they are experiencing protracted defeats and that love will disappear if our favorite team disbands or doesn't compete anymore,Loving football team will make us loyal and keep favorite our club forever, difference when some one loving or favorite with the players and every season have change their club favorite depend with their idol playing.
that's me not for someone else , for opini this thread
For example the fans of Ronaldo and Messi, they may change their favorite teams now because Ronaldo and Messi moved to new leagues. Although they are the fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past, they may be the fans of Al Nassr and Inter Miami nowadays. ;D
Can it?
I do not think so. Or maybe even if there is a percentage below 5%.
I'm not sure that when someone has become a fanatical fan of a club, they will choose to move to another club. This was like a betrayal of what he loved so far. I think this is very difficult to find.

And the comment section of the tweet, many people agree with him, and I personally thought to disagree, but I quickly remembered that I've been an Arsenal fan for many years now right from when I was a teenager and up to this moment, and even then Arsenal was one the worst football club, I never stopped seeing myself as their fan, and neither have I ever supported another club to beat Arsenal even when I'm certain that Arsenal chances of wining is as good as zero.

I was browsing through Twitter and I saw a shot someone posted where Eric Cantona (a former professional footballer) was quoted saying that people can change wives, change religion and even politics, but can not change their favorite football team.I think I have a different view, people who are die-hearted fans are people who cannot change their club despite their performance in a particular season, but I have seen several fans of a particular club who have changed their club because of their performance I believe,those fans who changes their club based on performance they are not die hearted fans of that particular club. So I think is vis-à-vis base on my own opinion there are people who will change the club based on there performance and their others who cannot change their club despite the performance of the club.(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/03/vHHha.png)

Arsenal has not won a trophy like the Premier League or the Champions League since I joined them, but I did not care because I love the team so much and everything about the team, and I'm willing to stick with them when they become champions either of Europe or England. So no! it is not impossible for someone to change their favorite football team; I just know that the reason for no longer supporting your team should not be that they are losing too many games.
Before saying something about is it really impossible to change the favorite football club I want to say something. And my say are if we look back to our past day like in 2021 I love a newly released song and I played it on that time more than 100 time and at a some time after I haven't much feeling about the song what I have before. And If you see this on your self I can say you have the same experience.
So now I want to say that the favorite football is nothing changable things it is changable and human mind is changeable. I have lots of my friend who are supporting Barcelona before now they are supporting the real Madrid.

not to mention that you are most likely to stay in a specific fanbase of the community it has built do you listen to your favorite song in group? no that’s why it is easier to change your favorite song than your favorite clubSurprisingly, I choose to stay away from most communities involving anything that I like nowadays because negativity is hugely exaggerated. I don't know if social media algorithm has anything to do with it but it's very hard to find a post that doesn't have a particular motive based on my experience.
i have seen very few people change teams that they like mostly because they all grow up watching and supporting that specific team that no matter what happens they are a fan’s ride or dieI would like to agree with you that yes the very few peoples are changed their favorite football club but I said to the reply of the topic title that it is not impossible and I sawn that in my few friends. But If I say about my self I haven't changed my football club even then the favourite players are left the team.
i don’t think your analogy works here because music and sports are quite different even though choosing a song/choosing a team to support to is based on your own personal preferences, choosing a song to listen to is nothing compared to the loyalty and emotional attachment you feel towards a team

Perhaps it's true that sports favorites are hard to replace even when the team is in a slump.It is true that most of the football club fans didn't replace their favourite team but some time we saw the differences because some people just list the club in their favourite is for only their favorite players like I have known many peoples that they changes their favourite team after leaving the Messi from the Barcelona club.
I have a friend who is a Leicester fan even when his favorite team was relegated he was still loyal to watch it, especially now that they are back in the Premier League even more loyal even though the team's performance is bad.
It's the same when they favor a player instead of a team:Perhaps it's true that sports favorites are hard to replace even when the team is in a slump.It is true that most of the football club fans didn't replace their favourite team but some time we saw the differences because some people just list the club in their favourite is for only their favorite players like I have known many peoples that they changes their favourite team after leaving the Messi from the Barcelona club.

~;D So men are loyal? I cannot compare because I am yet to meet a lady/woman that's actually into football. Anyway, I've watched an interview of a kid that was asked about his favorite football club. He mentioned a team but when asked which of the players is his favorite, he said none of them because they all suck.
However, I have seen ladies changes their clubs and I know it's because they are emotional beings. If they do change boyfriends like they like then I think changing of club is a small thing for them to try out :D

It's the same when they favor a player instead of a team:Even then if we deeply think about this then most of the peoples supports those clubs who did good in the past leagues and as well as they are doing good in current stage. And when a club wins leagues they must have good players in their quad and there are a good amount of people I think of the people have attraction on the good teams indirectly to the team. And that is the also a reason because AL Nassr hire Ronaldo and Inter Miami hire Messi.
Ronaldo to Al Nassr - many fans came here
Messi to Inter Miami - lots of fans too
Mbappe to Real Madrid - fans follow him there.
But when someone favors his club he won't change it no matter how bad it is.
Al Nassr and Inter Miami clubs are not as good as European league clubs, it is possible that the two clubs brought Messi and Ronaldo only to boost the popularity of the league so that fans around the world glance at the league.It's the same when they favor a player instead of a team:Even then if we deeply think about this then most of the peoples supports those clubs who did good in the past leagues and as well as they are doing good in current stage.

If you can change your club, then you are not a fan of your club from beginning. Been a loyal fan of a football club is a forever loyalty. Music is not football and football is not music, they don't come close because music may get tiring but your favorite club has some more surprises you may least expected, I will not trade my club for anything.
Al Nassr and Inter Miami clubs are not as good as European league clubs, it is possible that the two clubs brought Messi and Ronaldo only to boost the popularity of the league so that fans around the world glance at the league.Yeap that also I mean in my post. Al Nassr and Inter Miami Clubs are not as good club as the strongness and also about the popularity, they only hire them with that big fund because of gaining some good popularity then they will also be able to regenerate the funds and will also hire the others good players in their squad. And I am sure if they keep continueing this for long term then this can also be happen after 10 or more than 10years these club can also be the most favor club even then they are not from the europe.
But clearly most of us favor clubs from Europe rather than from other continental clubs.
Yes, that's right, like my country's team that always loses if they are given excessive support, I don't know how their game is when they are watched by their fans from the same country, but there is always a way for them to lose, even though they lose, they are still in our heartsloving a football team is like loving our partner, we will be loyal even if they are experiencing protracted defeats and that love will disappear if our favorite team disbands or doesn't compete anymore,Loving football team will make us loyal and keep favorite our club forever, difference when some one loving or favorite with the players and every season have change their club favorite depend with their idol playing.

Not problem with our favorite team have poor performance or not and keep loyal although not winning any trophy yet for longer time, not easy become football club fans when our favorite club has bad performance and become meme every day for us exactly after bad result match on every week.
Yes, that's right, like my country's team that always loses if they are given excessive support, I don't know how their game is when they are watched by their fans from the same country, but there is always a way for them to lose, even though they lose, they are still in our heartsFor your country you can keep supporting them but in betting I wouldn't have to choose my country knowing too well that my country wouldn't give me winning, so to me what I will do is to place on a winning team and still give support to our club because they are from same country with me therefore I will give them support and cheer them up. This is to encourage them to have that support and trust that even at their weakest points they have people that are supporting them especially people from their country.
For your country you can keep supporting them but in betting I wouldn't have to choose my country knowing too well that my country wouldn't give me winning, so to me what I will do is to place on a winning team and still give support to our club because they are from same country with me therefore I will give them support and cheer them up. This is to encourage them to have that support and trust that even at their weakest points they have people that are supporting them especially people from their country.In cases of own region that is another topic even the people who will criticised their own home team they will support them against any other team.
Of course I don't mind changing favorite team or club if I noticed they aren't doing well, just as what I have explained before that I will support them only if I don't stake or have a running match that I chose the other clubs to win. I give support to my favorite team if I don't place bet on them, but I do and I noticed that their strength is weak I will give support to the other team or club that are winning.For your country you can keep supporting them but in betting I wouldn't have to choose my country knowing too well that my country wouldn't give me winning, so to me what I will do is to place on a winning team and still give support to our club because they are from same country with me therefore I will give them support and cheer them up.

But we were talking about here the favourite footclub which are also support by lots of foreign people and here if a team constantly decrease their good performance and become a weak team then it is nothing impossible to change them of replaced them. And that is the main reason for most of the people having changes in their favorite teams.
So, I began to think within myself if actually this is true for everyone else, and if there is some kind of mystery behind football clubs and team fanship.

II agree with you on this that people can change wife, religion and other things but when it comes to teams that they support they find it really difficult to change as being a fan is something else infact there are people who don't eat simply because their teams loses a match and one this about football clubs that I have seen is that they all have season's that they play well while some other seasons they struggle some even go into relegation so you don't expect your team to be on top for ever as no one can remain a champion forever so when your club is not doing well it's expected of you to still keep Faith on them just like the good Old days when they where things where good(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/03/vHHha.png)

Indeed, Being a true fan is an emotion that has little to do with the changes we can make consciously. Being a fan is not all about victory, but it’s more about faithfulness before and during the years of struggle. We all understand in football, no team is invincible and sometimes it is a tough year, Morientes learned that. That is when our role as supporters is actually important, and when we need to stand by them as we used to do when they were successful.II agree with you on this that people can change wife, religion and other things but when it comes to teams that they support they find it really difficult to change as being a fan is something else infact there are people who don't eat simply because their teams loses a match and one this about football clubs that I have seen is that they all have season's that they play well while some other seasons they struggle some even go into relegation so you don't expect your team to be on top for ever as no one can remain a champion forever so when your club is not doing well it's expected of you to still keep Faith on them just like the good Old days when they where things where good(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/03/vHHha.png)

I can't completely say that such person is fool or not but it deals with much believe and trust, they so much trust their team and club, so even though they are losing they don't care for any reason just that they are happy with their club.Of course I don't mind changing favorite team or club if I noticed they aren't doing well, just as what I have explained before that I will support them only if I don't stake or have a running match that I chose the other clubs to win.

Like I know multiple peoples and friend who supports and change their favourites club Barcelona to the Real Madrid there are multiple reason on behind of this and I think most of us know which reason can be for it.
And now in case of gambling I don't think there is any connection between the favorite club vs the gambling or bet placement And if anyone only bet on their favourite team then I might say that person is nothing but fool.
I can't completely say that such person is fool or not but it deals with much believe and trust, they so much trust their team and club, so even though they are losing they don't care for any reason just that they are happy with their club.Still I will say that those person are nothing but stupid and fools who bet only on their favourite team. Like if you live in a region which team or club was the weakest team and even if you bet on that team in every match there will be loss and loss you will never see the face of profit. And I am saying this just an example. And if anyone do this, it clear the person gambling or betting from the emotions and gambling with emotions can be very dangerous things.
Leaving a club or a favorite team to another doesn't entirely connote that such person a fool, but it shows how important their team is to them, like I already said, during bet I don't attached emotions instead I bet on club that would give me winning than keep supporting them and lose.
