My dad is BA Baracus with Bruce Lee's Nunchuckas!


Some people can't afford to go and watch their team very much, but that doesn't make them any less a loyal fan!

A good friend of mine who is from from Liverpool has been living in Leeds for a long long time, and I don't know if she's ever been to Anfield, but she is still one of the most passionate fans I know.


I haven't been to Anfield in several years now, which is terrible, but mainly down to cash and travel. I still love my team though.

I think the point is being missed here. I have no respect for people who come from say Portsmouth, and support the like od Man Ure. I met such a person on holiday and couldn't believe it whne he told me that he was born and raised in Pompey but supported the mancs. What a spanner. I took great delight in telling him how I felt when we got on to the subject of who we supported.

Well I am a spanner, because I was born in South London, and I support Liverpool, whereas I should have supported Millwall, Palace or Charlton... I would have included Arsenal, but it's been a while since they were a south London team.


Like I said before though, I got in to the game late, and I decided on my team because I liked their play, and their players, which I think is a fair enough reason for chosing a team. It had nothing to do with glory, because at that time, they wern't exactly winning anything.


My best friend is also from South London, and also supports Liverpool, because when he was little, his whole family were (and still are) Chelsea, and he wanted a different team, so he chose a red team rather than Chelsea blue, it's as simple as that!


There is no reason why a person should support a particular team, the only rule should be that they stick with that team through good times and bad, and NEVER EVER change their team.


Why did the Arsenal fans chose Arsenal? Is Sean a spanner because he supported the Gunners from Ireland? (sorry Sean, just making a point).

Keef, Charlton wear red...it 'just' made sense for your friend to choose Liverpool randomly as a team who wear red.


Sorry, 'newbies', fans who support teams because they were born their or its in their families blood are a class above random team supporters who happen to pick one of the obvious ones..I just can't take your support seriously, irrational maybe, but the view of most poeople who support a team through birth not choice...

???? he was about 4, and probably chose Liverpool because he'd never heard of Charlton.


Had I taken on my family team, I too would be Arsenal. The fact is it bored me to death as a little kid, I just wasn't interested. By the time I got in to it, Arsenal were doing rather well, so I guess I could have just started supporting them and told everyone they were my family team and I'd been Arsenal since birth.


Sorry ???? but I know a lot of scousers who would tell you they were Liverpool supporters, but who probably could name a player other than Gerrard, how does their "birthright" make them more of a fan than me, who follows with passion, and gets really up or down about results?


If it makes you feel any better, I have been to watch Charlton many times in the past few years, because I couldn't afford the fares to Anfield, and I wanted to watch footy... And Charlton have been my second team for a long long time (since I really fancied a girl who was Charlton mad at school)... Like I say, many different reasons, all valid so long as your support is true.

Blah blah blah, real fans, rattles, woodbines, folded up newspapers for shinpads by 'eck


What a load of b@llocks


Back to important things - the Chamionship promotion/play-off race. Will Watford continue to lose to crap sides? Yes! Will Palace inexplicably fail to beat Burnley? Yes! Will Ipswich trounce Hull, sail through the play-offs, repeat their "miracle first season in the premier league european qualification followed by disastrous second season ignominious relegation amidst vicious in-fighting" Here's hoping.


Whatever happens, will Warnock continue to be the most annoying football related w@nker on earth? Certainly

I could live with that prognosis as long as Wolves fail to win and Sheffield United win too. We tend to do well against Ipswich in the playoffs :)) But if United miss the boat then I hope Colin makes it with Palace - who could possibly want to miss the Palace/Liverpool fixtures next season?!


P.S. Ipswich v Hull is live on Sky....

What about fans who downsize - you know get a bit pissed off with all the cynicism of the Premiership so you go from supporting the likes of Man U to a local non-league club like Dulwich Hamlet. I'd say hats off to anyone who does that. I think the loyalty-at-any-cost, simply on the grounds that you were brought up in a certain town or your family supported a certain team, is a bit suspect. Rather like following a religion.

I can't say I've completely downsized, but I do enjoy the Hamlets, especially as Premiership is SUCH a rip-off these days.


Have also frequented Broadhall Way for many years, and had a penchant for Stoke at uni at the end of their Victoria Ground days.


Can never stop loving the Hammers though, and may go a bit more often when I haven't got a wedding/honeymoon to pay for.

      Fireworks

      By HeadNun · Posted

      CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
