Question: Is it possible to support more than one team?
It seems that if you like Arsenal remotely you should hate Man U and vise versa. I can see if they were in the same city but aren't they pretty far apart. Im just trying to understand how it all works. Maybe since i dont live over there i dont quite get it all.

Arsenal fans should hate Spurs, and Man U fans should Hate Man City. However, since they have been fighting it out for the league between themselves for far too long, a rivalry has grown up. This is added to by acrimony such as "the battle of Old Trafford." Its also grown because the Man City/ Spurs rivalry is dilluted as more and more "fans" flock to these clubs without living locally, taking away the local rivalry. It will fade as soon as one or other of the two sinks from the top of the league.

Yeh! A little like how an Evertonian in LA and a Liverpudlian near Seattle would beat the crap out of each other with handbags if they met...
Why (How) would anyone support two clubs, dumb question..!

Not quite the dumbest question (if there is such a thing). I was just curious because I like more than 1 basketball or baseball team. Maybe the "dumb" thing was the use of the word 'support'. MY bad

Its perfectly possible to like more than one team, but you can't really support two teams, especially not in the same way. I like Milan and Cardiff City but Spurs are the club I support.
