Amoroso,
The thing is man, Corinthians is a nation, the amount of supporters wer have (loyal ones by the way), is bigger than any country in our continent (excpet Argentina).
The prsident of Brazil supports Corinthians, and the richest man in Brazil, fifth richest in the world, (Antonio Ermirio de Moraes) supports Corinthians. A number of parlmament representatives support Corinthians and are members of Gavioes da Fiel.
So before you say anything, get your facts right.
We are not the ones called "pigs", Actually Palmieras fans have so little originality that a nickname that we gave them, they admited years later, and started chanting in the stadium....what a bunch of bums. And they are called "pigs" because of death. A Corinthians player died, and then we asked to have another player included in the squad, every single club of the Sao Paulo accepted the proposal except the "pigs"!.
We are not the most racist club n Brazil .....like those lot. And also , we were't almost closed in the 40's for supporting the nazi's! That's why the pigs had to change their name!
Also, the bunch of ********s of Mancha verde, had to make a organized supporter just to imitate gavioes da Fiel. NOt happy that we are always winniers of the carnaval of Sao Paulo, those idiots made a carnval block in 95. They still are in the lower divisions in carnival..and we are always champions

We din't imitate a kit in 93 like the pigs did. They had to make a kit with stripes just like ours!
We were not responsible for the roganized supporters being banned in 95....because MANCHA VERDE DIRECTORS, KILLED A SAO PAULO FAN INSIDE THE PITCH OF PACAEMBU WHACKING THE GUY IN THE FACE WITH A WOODEN BAR, WHILE THE FAN WAS LAYING IN THE GROUND. THAT IS WHAT I CALL MURDER!
Also, the supporters that most kill our Palmieras supporters, in the World Cup, while we were celebrating, Palmieras fans killed 2 Corinthians fans, at pin point gun shot!
Wake up Amoroso and grow up, football is not just a silly old game to me....it's part of my life. To lose to those bastards hurted much more than losing the world cup in 98.....I rather lose the Olympics with Brazil than lose to Palmeiras, specially the way we did.
And just to you see our force....when all the supporters were going out...we were all singing the Corinthians anthem...that is supporting a team, not like those idiots that win a title and destroy the whole city, like Pameiras fans done in the libertadores last year!
