Probably makes them feel good about themselves when these teams win a trophy. To them, following their local team is not an option.

Plastics don't generally annoy me unless you get into a conversation with them and they refer to these clubs as "us" or "we". I hate that with a passion. Rant over.
I always put it like this : you're walking along a beach somewhere in, say Croatia. You're wearing a City top and some bloke is walking towards you also in a City top. Even the 2 most reserved people on the planet would stop and chat about City. Change the scenario to Liverpool, Citee, United, Arsenal, Chelsea etc., and they'd probably walk past each other - possibly unable to communicate anyway.
