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

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.

Just to clarify, I hadn't kept up with European footy in years, and had no idea who the kid was. He just happened to be from the tiny town that all my buddies were from. But soccer was my best sport as a kid, and living over there for a year (also lived in East London, West Ham territory, and in Finchley with a huge Tottenham fan) really got me back into the game. Especially the EPL and also on the International level. I admit I don't keep up like I used to, which is why I've never posted much on this board. Maybe I'll try and be a little better about keeping up this season. Cheers, dudes.
