re: How did you become a fan of your club?

I picked United as a 10 year old

Fair enough.

I guess my point is that the people who are cousins with Alan Smith and who have relatives that work at Goodison, etc. could pick on your fandom the same way you do with others.

And they'd sound just as silly to me.

It must be a soccer thing because I was on a UK football board many years ago, and they liked to talk about their fan pedigree too.
"Ya well my grandfather played with Sir Stanley Matthews."
"My grandfather WAS Sir Stanley!"

On and on it went.

To go the question, I don't have a team really.

-I like Crewe because my kids had a coach who was from there.
-I like Sunderland because I got sick of the Geordies picking on them.
-I like Everton. Same reason except Liverpool fans.
-I like Southhampton. I guess they would be the team I'd most like to win the league and don't have a good reason.
-I like Charlton. The story of the Valley and their fans is cool.

-I like Arse style of play. Not the team necessarily.
-I have a soft spot for City because my kids played for a coach who was one of their superstars years ago and a truly good guy.
-Used to hate Chelsea, but Drogba was just too cool and Jose has grown on me. Steve Spurrier with a scowl.
-Hate Liverpool because they haven't done anything in years and their fans act like they have.
-Hate ManU worse. Arrogant managers (other than Moyes who I like a lot) and fans. No offense
-Hate Celtic for no other reason than one of the worst people I've ever know personally was a fan.
