Here's a challenge for you. List your mates by their teams they support.
Risk of not having a huge list..
Different teams.
E.g. If you're reading you will likely be Rovers.
I will go first.
Rangers
Palace
Brighton
Portsmouth
Liverpool
Man U
Bristol City
Tottenham
Bristol Rovers
Cardiff City
Swansea City
Wolves

Depends how you define mate - most of my really close friends don't like football.But including my extended friendship group and people I've lived with over the years;
Rovers x2
City x2
FC United x3
Man United x3 (not the same people interestingly)
Man City
Arsenal
Orient (×2)
Forest
Barcelona
Peterborough United
Bury and West Ham (same person weirdly)
Rotherham United
Oxford United (x2)
Liverpool
Celtic
Club Universidad de Chile (x2)
Crystal Palace (x2)
Aston Villa
If included sort of mates who I've played cricket with for years as well as plenty of City, Rovers, Man City, Man United and Liverpool fans I could also add;
Crewe
Leeds
Wolves
Torquay
Norwich
Portsmouth
Tranmere
Oldham
Wrexham
Ferencvaros (World's greatest Hungarian Cricketer!)
I find it weird that I've never really known a Spurs or Everton fan.

Ferencvaros (World's greatest Hungarian Cricketer!)I find it weird that I've never really known a Spurs or Everton fan. We (as in Outwood Village Sunday 2nd XI) did a cricket tour to Budapest a couple of years ago and one of my mates now dines out on the fact that he dismissed an (Hungarian) international cricketer. |

AFC Bournemouth x4
Bristol C x2
Southampton x2
Leicester x1
Charlton x1
Fulham x1
Hartlepool x1
Everton x1
Yeovil x1
Manchester City x1
And about half of those are Somerset CCC fans as well, which surprises me because Somerset fans are very sensible people yet the group includes 2 deluded football fans !!!!

We (as in Outwood Village Sunday 2nd XI) did a cricket tour to Budapest a couple of years ago and one of my mates now dines out on the fact that he dismissed an (Hungarian) international cricketer. Well the chap I knew came over to Manchester to do a PhD, joined our club because he'd watched the World Cup on some obscure Hungarian channel and wanted to play an 'English Sport'. He was incredibly into it - he trained harder than most of our 1st XI and ended up becoming 1st team scorer to understand the game better. He was very fit and did a number of other sports which obviously helped but at the age of 25 he managed to turn himself into a decent club cricketer in 3 years completely from scratch. That's a pretty hard thing to do with a sport that is so unnatural and technical. It was very impressive - he didn't concentrate on one discipline either, he became a reasonable all-rounder. By the end of his time in Manchester he was our 3rd team vice-captain and was getting call-ups to play for the Hungarian national side. He lives in London now and as far as I know still plays. Lovely bloke too. |

Ridiculous thread
It's obviously mandatory for all friends to support Rovers.
If they fail to comply they are relegated to "acquaintance", of little consequence nor relevance.
Some people are so fickle
