10 signs your mate is just pretending to be a football fan

#2 He mixes up goalscorers from different games

Ad

It’s one thing if your friend just has a bad memory for names and does not remember your South Indian friend’s surname in proper. It’s quite another if he claims to be a fan of Manchester United and does not remember whether it was Henrik Mkhitaryan who scored a goal in their last outing or Anthony Martial.

You can smell pretenders of this sort from a mile off when they do this on more than just a couple of occasions, or once every now and then. The more your mate makes this mistake, the likelier it is that he is just putting on a fandom charade in front of you.
