@Mwenza - Very funny signature.
Picture this:
It's the last day of the season and Man U is playing against team x. If Man U wins the match team x gets relegated and Man U wins the League. If Man U looses the game, team y wins the League, team x survives relegation and Arsenal is relegated instead! Which one would you pick?
Believe me such a poll was done in Brazil a couple of years back [Involving perennial rivals Corinthians and Palmeiras] and an overwhelming majority of the fans said they'd rather lose the League and the rival is relegated! "We can always win the League next season" some of them we quoted as saying.
Corithians also have a rivalry with Sao Paulo. These three teams [Sao Paulo, Corinthians and Palmeiras] are from Sao Paulo but the Corinthians and Palmeiras rivalry is major!
In a match played last month Sao Paulo's fans cheered Fluminense for beating them 4 - 1! Why? Because the defeat dealt a serious blow their rival's - Corinthians - chances of lifting the title! And get this, by loosing, they [Sao Paulo] also lost their last chance to win the title! Last year, Corinthians conceded very suspicious goals to Flamengo causing Flamengo to go above Sao Paulo in the table.
Najua Wazuans na mambo ya "Weka link hapa!" so here are the links:
