    @punkdoc - the coq hardi (bold/brave cockerel) is the symbol of Wallonia and they don't have a regional football team!  Doesn't seem to fit as a symbol for footballers then.

    @punkdoc.  I thought you would have supported a team where you live.  That’s a long way from you or did you live there at one time.

    How a supporter chooses a team has always been a mystery to me. I understand the local thing but someone in Deptford supporting Manchester United, I really don't get.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    It's like Carry On Curmudgeoning around here at the moment :#

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Supported them since I was five. Used to go regularly, but find it too stressful now.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Many people know of Man U due to the Munich air crash, whether they were born at the time or not.  That provides an initial point of interest and the rest grows from there.  We were living in Germany at the time of the crash and it's my first 'sporting' memory.  I have followed their fortunes ever since although I've only ever seen them play 'live', as in at the stadium, once.  I describe myself as a Man U follower rather than fan or supporter.

    The mower on/off switch cut out half way through mowing the back lawn (in preparation for a family visit on Tuesday), with an impressive puff of smoke...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
