Hmmm, thought as much. Just as well I have got a thick skin, born from years of mental cruelty following LTFC.
I blame my parents.

Re: Comfortably numb......
Calm down my friend....just dream of a box of lovely stuff I am transporting to brisbane for you tomorrow from a dear friend.....
Born in mid-Somerset to parents who didn't know what a football was 
We moved to the Midlands when I was five and at that time you supported one of two teams - Forest or WBA. The boy I used to play football with was a WBA fan, so I said I'd be Forest - and we had so much fun, 5 years old, WBA v Forest, broken windows, crushed flowerbeds, marks on stuff hung on my mum's washing line.....and I've stuck to that team ever since 
So not quite born there but we lived there for 6 years
Personally I believe a true fan is where they were born and brought up. So for me, as I was born in the Alder Hey hospital and was raised in Wavertree in Liverpool, I was brought up a Liverpooll Supporter.
Yes at school there were a lot of Evertonians and Mancs, and I could have buckled to peer pressure, but didn't.
As far as to say that Liverpudlians cross over to the dark side and become a Manc, well that is unheard of!!! I, and many of the LFC supporters I know and are friends with, hate the Mancs with a passion. Wouldn't say as far to go as to induce violence, but there is no way I would support the Mancs in any way.

Re: Comfortably numb......
Once upon a time there was a witch renowned for shopping too much whenever she came home. On her latest trip she made a real effort not to buy too much and was really really restrained....until the day before she was due to leave...... On that day she fell under the spell of a wicked leprechaun and allowed herself to be enticed into Waitrose.........so she is now spending the evening with her Spell Book, trying to fit a lot of crisps into a very small space

Re: Comfortably numb......
nowt, which is why I asked for the post Mothers family are all good Hoops supporting, copper wire inventing Jocks 
Can honestly say I support what was my local team until dragged to Ireland. Have managed to convert a few mates into watching Arsenal as a "second", team as their local teams are in lower divisions. Am sort of 50:50 with the lad at the mo. Most of his school mates are Forest fans so that's his local team but I've got him to agree that if they ever play Arsenal he's a gooner

I was born a Celtic supporter. I can honestly say, it's never once been hard not to follow the tradition.
