It's based on the FAN(atics)!

If they say it's so, who are YOU to question their absolute omnipotence regarding their sport?

Lol Maybe Man.U are the World Champions.. The prem is the world's greatest league. Hmmm seems as how more ppl play soccer than any other game maybe they could be The World Champion Sports team. Brilliant! Maybe Status Quo could write a new version. Hey and haven't Man U got some Irishmen.. So they could be The World Champion Sporting Celts.. now we're talking..


where's that wooden spoon.

The Phillies are World ****ing Champions. If Utley said it, its 100% true.

And everyone knows it, even idiots.

WOW.. 102 posts on this "topic."

Who really cares what anyone calls champions? The names are largely media-chosen for hype.. doesn't anyone see that? America is a media machine. It's obvious to me, but is it fodder for name calling?
