Yes, there are gloryhunters in the capital - the south ,too - who support the likes of ManU , but these people are just a very small minority , hardly the norm ,so please spare us the generalisation that everyone down here supports northern teams . In fact , while I'm here , for many of us , southerners who support northern clubs are the lowest of the low , the **** on your shoes.
And , freddiek , true cockneys are more likely to support Arsenal : it's closer to Bow Bells ( off Cheapside ). |

The most annoying thing is when you're out somewhere and you see someone wearing the shirt of say United or Liverpool, and you know at that precise moment they're actually playing live on sky. So not only do these mugs not go to games, they don't even watch them when they're on tv!!

I'm from Salford but lived in Edgware in North London for a while.
The amount of southerners 'supporting' northern teams is ridiculous and laughable. I've lived in Newcastle and Sheffield as well as Manchester and you go to any of them places you NEVER see a football shirt from outside the local area. Worst you'll see is the odd Blackburn/Bolton shirt in Manchester. |

Pretty sure Edgware is in Middlesex , pipunch.
And just how many would you call 'laughable'. I live south of the river - SE11 - and know many hundreds of people . Ok , I admit that a few of these are Liverpool or ManU fans, but how many orginate from the south ? One , I think. Now , as for knowing fans of London clubs ... Again , following northern clubs in this part of the world is miles away from being the norm. |

NOT TRUE. Arsenal originally from Woolwich (South London), when Cockneys were born within the sound of Bow bells,nearest were Leyton Orient(originally Clapton Orient)then Tottenham. |
|
By:
The only cockneys I know (my parents, grandparents and a few other relatives) all either support Spurs or West Ham.

Born in Barnet So support Barnet....
So FU C K off |

Have a wander round the Wigan Borough on Saturday whe the scousers play the mancs, the pubs will be packed from lunchtime. Meanwhile down the road, the circus tent will be far from full whilst Wigan play Noblot.
I know plenty who go all over watching both clubs, who have Wigan accents but the pile of sh1tehawks in the orange house etc watching 'their' team in those replica tops...then cheering as Latics get beat, should be culled. |

By:
It's like the Industrial revolution and free movement of labour never happened!
I live in the Northern Home counties now. Is that close enough for me to be true Tottenham Fan? Of course, when I lived in Liverpool and spent fortunes shttling up and down the country to see them play, I should really have given up altogether or supported Everpool....no wait, better still Tranmere or even Marine, to prove how hardcore I was. |
|
By:
I always respect who anybody supports, when they actually make the effort to go to the games, no matter where they are from.
Ranjit Agapooki from Croydon, supporting Manchester United (Has never heard of Old Trafford) and ringing up Talksport saying Sir Alex should be sacked doesn't cut it for me. |
|
By:
TBF anyone calling Talksport, 6-0-6 etc is a tacit admission of insanity.
I agree though. Machine-gunning is too good for some people. |
|
By:
i've only ever known 'old school' cockneys - they don't live in the east end btw - to support Wham ,Spurs ,Millwall and Arsenal
|
|
By:
Quite simply Scum you support the club where you are born Unless the old man is from that area and even then you are still a ****,my dad was a spurs fan but all my mates were gonners i was born 1-2 a mile from Highbury but lived slap bang inbetween the two grounds i went with my mates

By:
My dad is Spurs, so that's the main reason I am. Was born in Leytonstone, so I suppose I should be Leyton Orient? Dunno, I never had a choice; it was pre-ordained. I'm like one of those religious fanatics.

By:

By:

By:
you will get Man Utd supporters everywhere 7 -21 age group
|
|
By:
i can understand why you would support utd as a 7 -11 year old in londonetc but when you get older you and your mates should be going to support the local team.
|
|
By:
CanT have fathers that care i suppose because no way would my kin support utd, take em to see the local team and that should do it.
|
|
By:
got respect for Luton, northampton, supporters that live and support the local team the rest that support utd etc and just low life vermin in my eyes.
|
|
By:
a lot of Man U fans will later support their own teams
when i was a wee snip of a lad a lot of fans were crazy over manure and back then Liverpool - nowadyas they prefer speedway,darts,snooker etc - and occ pop to the local ground ,most went off football though as they approached 35,40 etc some i know still take their kids to Colchester or Portman Road if they have a family deal on |

By:

By:
Colchester have done wonders and teams like that need the support of the local community great ground always drove past it on the way to go crabbing with my son in Walton on the Naze
