Your not far wrong ...

If you find yourself on a train packed with noisy west ham fans who have just played on a Friday night and scrapped a draw against lowly Leeds.
When they surround you and ask why you just took a picture of them smashing up the train do not reply, "because I'm gonna put them on my website"
When they then demand if you're Old Bill, do not say, "might be"
When they say, what team do you support, We'll that's up to you but I said Southend.
Next morning, if like me you came out unscathed, clutch a posy of scented flowers skip through a meadow and remark how wonderful life is........and how close to death you, in a drunken haze could have been.

I'm just saying be careful whom you tell what team you support especially when drunk.

Aside from when travelling on C2C, confessing you're a Southend fan is usually met with any of the following:

*amusement
*bemusement
*admiration
*pity
*incredulity
*knowing, nodding respect
*lack of knowledge (<span style='color:blue'>"Oh, I didn't know they had a football team.  What division are they in?"</span>)
*vacuuous stupidity followed by incomprehension:

("Yeah, but who do you support in the Premier$hite?"
<span style='color:blue'>"No one.  I don't care who wins the Premier$hite."</span>
"Eh?")

I've never found that being a Southend fan was the prelude to someone wanting to pick a fight with me - and I doubt Seth will, up in Lancaster.  If anything, he'll find Blackpool fans chuckling gently at how easily they beat us in the LDV Final last year, or applauding us for staying to congratulate them and being generally a lovely bunch.

I think you're probably right Matt, hence the reason I, unlike a Millwall fan, awoke to the sound the morning dawn chorus

Or &#39;don&#39;t you support a proper team?&#39;

I hate that.

That&#39;s cos, the Old Firm aside, the Scots know what it&#39;s like to follow a side that is only sporadically successful, and that is usually bloody awful - from the national side right through to grass roots level...

Yes, you're right - that does get said!  Unfortunately, it always produces the same knee-jerk reaction from me, since I always instantly reply:

"Oh, f**k off."

I know it's rather impolite of me, but I just can't help it...

I am normally. But if the status of our beloved football team is ever impugned in such a way, I feel duty-bound to jump to its defence.

"Oh, f**k off" is usually a fairly useful generic response in such situations...
