Wouldn’t feel inclined to dunk a chocolate biscuit as I think they’re too nice. My thinking is that something like a rich tea or a plain digestive are boring enough to warrant being livened up with a dunking. biscuits are pretty much the only reason that I drink tea! to sit and eat a biscuit without any context seems savage and uncouth. Plop a mug of tea beside them and i'm scoffing the lot with zero guilt or self-consciousness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say at a guess it depends where you're from and who you grew up with Man utd fans were always the worst of the bunch growing up, Liverpool had gone quiet but as adult I've realised theyre just as bad Was in the office last month and a young kid probably mid 20s from Daventry referred to man utd as "we" I was done, no more football talk, don't need context or backstory or anything about his dad or family or historical roots anything, he's dead to me Edited February 12 by villa4europe 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than calling him his name I called him Salford for the duration of the time he spent at the table, thick clearing in the woods did not get the irony of it Edited February 12 by Follyfoot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I started supporting Villa in the early seventies, primarily due to glory hunting instincts. I play a long game. I actually think @BOF has this nailed. Not minding Man Utd is the best way, they’re not a top club anymore so yeah, just kinda neutral on them. It must be frustrating for them that kids will refer to United, and mean Newcastle. They were once the biggest club in England, now they’re the second biggest club in the town they’re closest to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather they just admit they support the club because they were the best at the time when they got interested in football. My junior school was full of Liverpool fans - was just coming to the end of the dominant spell - Barnes, Beardsley, Rush, Aldridge. No Man Utd or phantom Salford based relatives then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Villa fans around Nottingham who have never been anywhere near Birmingham but have family connections and therefore support the club. I don't consider them to be faux or dead to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider them to be faux or dead to me They support villa because they're fools like the rest of us not because it was the easiest option I'm not overly fussed by supporting your local club but when it's blatant glory hunting like with brummie reds I've just got no respect for them especially seeing as from my experience as has been discussed many times here so I think it's other posters experience too brummie reds are weirdly gobby, I wouldnt expect nottingham based villa fans to be the same, most mondays they'd be very quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summed up their fanbase, though he is from Jamaica so I can understand the not supporting your local team bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
