Well I am a Norwich City supporter and has been attended home games when I can. (please don't laugh at least our chairman can cook fantastic foods!)

Apart from when we got promotion few years back (Thanks Nigel, you were the greatest) I never experienced any joy of supporting my local team!  So what should I do?

A) Start supporting Man Utd from next week, at least they should win something this year.

B) Quit watch football forever....(well apart from England matches) and concentrate on learning Golf, summer is very nearly here.

C) Stick with Norwich City and pray that we might get back to the hey day of the 80's.

Confused

Dear god man, you can't switch what team you support - that's blasphemy! I'm a Chelsea supporter so everything's good now but there were some dark days back in the eighties and early nineties!

Thaiman, I beg you, please don't start supporting Man U! Stick with Norwich. And I have a feeling Clare will have something to say on this subject. Wink

Mate, you've got to stick with Norwich. Delia's new book's been selling like hotcakes!! I'm sure someone of that cash is going to filter down into the club. Then you can start dreaming of playing the likes Bayern Munich in Europe again Wink

Andy....you might know that I am fully qualify as a Man U's fan (if I want to)

I am from far East and speak with a touch of cockney accent....I also do keep looking at my watch and go through many chewing gums every day!.

Ditch the footie and devote yourself to golf.

Liverpool FC. The Red Men are going to take back ole big ears this year! But please Barca, beat the Mancs as I couldn't face the risk of losing the final to them! Also, imagine Liverpool and Manc fans travelling to Moscow together?! Uefa must be praying for Henry, Messi and co to turn it on.

Thaiman, just be thankful you don't support Bradford City. It's not that much fun, I can tell you

Our Forum's anti-swearing rules prevent me from commenting much on the topic of East Anglia's least talented team... Stick out tongue

But you can't change teams, Thaiman, that's against the footballing code. Lord knows there times when being an Ipswich (or England!) fan are maddening, but then when you win (especially in local derby games....)

I used to work with an Ipswich season ticket holder. You probably know her, there can't be that many.........

Of course, this is from a Forfar Athletic supporter.

Forfar Athletic! I still have a Forfar Subbuteo team from the early seventies! Worth a few bob now I believe.

Sorry, I know Gerrardasnails won't like me for this, but just want to say "Come on the Chelse!" - I'm still quite merry from the game!!

Okay, back to normal now!!

Celtic and Scotland for me; not bad pickings for both in recent times (well, the latter improved once McBerti flew the roost!).
