Chinese pseudo-fans feel

After watching this film, my good friend asked me if I fell in love with Arsenal?
I replied that although I didn't, I suddenly felt that the Chinese fans were so great!

The male protagonist played by Uncle Colin in the film has loved Arsenal for 21 years and waited for the league title for 18 years, so on the night when Arsenal defeated Liverpool in 1989, he watched at home Arsenal scored two goals away from home to win the league title. Afterwards, he and the whole street of Arsenal lovers went wild and happy all night.

He's a true Arsenal fan whose life ends every May and starts again when a new fixture comes out. He goes to almost every game, home and away. The focus of his life is Arsenal. When he is silent, he always thinks of Arsenal. His underwear is Arsenal, his jersey is Arsenal. He broke up with his girlfriend for Arsenal, and finally reconciled with his girlfriend because of Arsenal, and made Arsenal a part of his girlfriend's life.

Is this a true fan? Is that the only way to be a true fan? I want to say how lucky he is.

We are a group of Chinese fans who love to fight and scold each other, and we have a lot of knowledge about foreign names, tactics, strategies, and formations. Why is it not true love. Few of us have actually gone to the San Siro, Camp Nou, Bernabeu, Old Trafford to watch football in places we know so well, but we can live with the unreasonable hours of 3:00, 4:50 in the morning , facing the fluorescent screen in the dark, breathing at the same frequency and heartbeat with the fans in those places. Because even without the opportunity to be there in person, our love remains intact.

How great, but as long as you fall in love with football, you will understand that because we also have the most sincere Fever Pitch - extreme fanaticism.

Fever Pitch quotes

  • Sarah Hughes: So you don't get many Micky Thomas moments in real life?

    Paul Ashworth: You don't a lot in football either.

  • Sarah Hughes: Paul, it's only a game!

    Paul Ashworth: DON'T SAY THAT! Please! That is the worst, most stupid thing anyone could say! Cause it quite clearly isn't "only a game." I mean if it was do you honestly think I'd care this much? Eh? Eighteen years! Eight-teen years! Do you know what you wanted eighteen years ago? Or ten? Or five? Did you want to be Head of Year at North London Comprehensive, I doubt it. I'd doubt if you wanted anything for that long. And if you had, and if you'd spent three months thinking that finally, FINALLY you were gonna get it and just when you think it's there it's taken away from you... I mean I don't care what it is, a car, a job, an Oscar, the baby... then you'd understand how I was feeling tonight. But there isn't, and you don't, so...

    Sarah Hughes: So, so what, so fuck off, go home, leave you alone? I'll tell you something Paul, there isn't anything that I've wanted for eighteen years, cause I was a kid eighteen years ago. And if I did still want the same things I'd think I'd gone wrong somewhere, because actually I don't want to marry David Cassidy, I don't want bigger tits, I don't want to do better on my mock-Os. I've stopped worrying about that kind of thing and maybe you should try.

    Paul Ashworth: Well maybe there's a big bit of you that's gone missing somewhere, maybe everyone should want something they've always wanted.
