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).

I have to say, I am not looking forward to the weekend ???? the Hammers are a bit of a bogey side recently.

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...

No problem keef. . If its any help i also support cork city in that particular country


as for arsenal. . Well (with apologies to those who have heard me say it before) as arsenal at the time were effectively irish that was why i latched on to them. Some great players but not a great footballing team

???? 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

>>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, <<


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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
