      You’re literally watching UCL football knowing your stinky club couldn’t even make it into the conference league

      Probably to show support for a player who has been internationally ridiculed for years, while at the same time never being involved in anything sketchy.

      I’ve noticed that a lot of clubs are following the FC Zenit social media route. I wouldn’t call it edgy but they’re trying to farm engagement to increase their name in the social media world and by proxy with kids.

        Ngl I think it’s lame as fuck, it was shit when Wendy’s did it and it’s always shit every other time a brand tried to pretend they’re a person and people just eat it up

          I think there’s a line. Things like Wendy’s insulting and trying to be funny on twitter got old quick, but I’d much rather my team’s twitter admin be interesting and a bit chirpy, rather than corporate and boring. Especially when they do it in a way that connects with the fans.

          For example Atlanta United’s twitter admin made a meme after we beat a team about the head coach of said team because he made comments about how our fanbase isn’t “authentic” (I’m paraphrasing the whole situation heavily). That was something that got the fanbase engaged and interacting.

          Stuff like posting “not really” like Copenhagen did is pretty low effort and kind of tilts towards the Wendy’s side of thing.

          I miss when brands were bland and serious and like Microsoft Twitter account had to respond earnestly to someone who said there was a wasp nest in their Xbox. Now it’s just Wendy’s dunking on random people, so awesome.

        I’m a match day fan not a stay at home glory hunter. I’m fine with never winning it if thats how it is.

        I’ve been to more cup finals than you ever will. Cups are all about the match day fans not the stay at homes.

          Congrats you can afford to go to finals. Lots of fans of your own club can’t so are they not real fans?

            No they aren’t real fans either. Next question?

            Oh and if you want to be able to afford it try supporting your local club. It’s not that expensive if you do.
