Armchair Fan

People who claim to have a huge interest in a Football team they very rarely watch and when they do watch it is on the television, mainly Match of the day. Most armchair fans support Man UTD.

Greg Clayton is a Man UTD 'fan' who averages 5 games a season watched on match of the day but seems to think he knows whats going on. This is an armchair fan.

Armchair Fan

A fan of american football or any sport where they react in an extreme way to the teams ups and downs without any actual knowledge of the sport. Often calling into radio shows to voice their displeasure.

Radio Caller: The Eagles lost this past weekend, fire the coach and bench the QB! I never liked those bums anyway!

Steve: Damn armchair fans know nothing about football. One games does not a season make!
