Supporting your team

Does it matter where you come from, I've been called a glory hunter on numerous occasions, I didn't want to derail my Chelsea meltdown thread, I support Manchester United because of the football that we play, It's got nothing to do with size of the club etc.

 

Matt I'm sorry. You're a great fan, please forgive me.

 

Doesn't necessarily matter where you come from but if you are not a local fan, have no family or other connection with the club, don't go to games and happen to pick the most successful club to support, expect to be called plastic or a glory hunter.

 

Beans, Corn, Gravy or Coleslaw?

I usually go Coleslaw.

 

The main choice of which football club to support has a couple of basic themes.

The most obvious, and oldest, is you support the club that is in your parish.
Which gives you a strong sentimental link to the club.

Following your kin is another. Your dad supports club X etc.

Ethnic/nationalistic links are another.
Lots of Irish people support the Poool because of the strong historical
migrant links between the country and city. Similarly there is support
in N Ireland for Man Utd that goes back to the pride in / success of George Best.

 

Coleslaw is yum..beans get cold too quick. I don't like corn, gravy is hit and miss

 

Support who you want Matth, without having to answer to anybody, haters always gon' hate.

It's not a competition, it's just a sport.

I wonder how I'd go about picking an NFL team to support given that none of my family are into it and I don't live near any of the teams.

 

Too late

Matthew has thrown you in the ignore part of his Not606 world

 

Bournemouth gravy is better than Weymouth gravy. Nice local fact for you

 

True.

I suspect Matths was akin to looking at the league table one May and deciding he liked the playing style of United - who just happened to be top.

10 years older and he'd be a Liverpool fan. Fahkt!

 

I think the team you support should be a combination of the following;

• Where you live
• Where you're from
• Who your family supports
• Where you were born
• Your first live game
• The team you see most weekends
• The team you would support no matter.

If you support a team for any of the following reasons (minus the reasons given above), you're a plastic;

• It's the "cool" team to support
• They always win things
• They're always on Tele
• You fancy Paul Pogba
• You like the ground (even though you've never been)

 

Careful, you're about to start a war!

 

Weymouth Corn is better though

 

Southern gravy is ****ing awful regardless.

 

Where's the wtf has it got to do with you option?

 

Gravy only works with Lamb for me and I don't think it goes with fish n chips at all

I usually go curry sauce with chips from the chippy.

I'm not really a gravy man, unless I'm in Bournemouth or having a roast dinner.
