I say were because they're not anymore so then suddenly a huge crop of Chelsea or Manchester City fans just suddenly spring out of nowhere!
    My hubby supported Nottingham Forest in their glory days, but is still a massive fan now, even though there's not so much glory, that's support in my book
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    That's good on him to stick by them through thick and thin, they are proper football fans. Those who support a club just because they are successful at that moment in time are the ones that frustrate me. I bet a majority of Chelsea fans didn't know anything about the club before the Russian mafia took over just over 10 years ago

    I'm a Man Utd supporter. My dad has supported them since the 60's and brought us all up as Utd supporters. I often get labelled a glory hunter as due to my age, all I've known is glory (well, apart from recently!) But I know a lot about the club, about the old players, have met some of the old players, been to games a few times. I've not paid much attention recently but that's down to my depression. I haven't even been reading and I am an avid reader!

    Spurs are flying this season it would not surprise me if they finish runners up.

    I so remember Nobby Stiles from the England 1966 world cup final win.
