well I live in Brum and I like Brum, Villa, Albion to do well... cant stand Wolves tho - and I dunno why

Sorry but I was brought up with Liverpool as my first team and Tranmere Rovers as my second team....

If you're a Liverpool fan you're allowed a second team surely, or you'll never see your side win. Although why you'd chose West Ham I don't know.  It's nice they employ Chelsea rejects though.

I have a second favourite team and I'm not scouse.

Sorry Prom but Victor is telling the truth, he is a football fanatic, with good reason..
 
He played for Chelsea as youngster, and was in the same youth team as John Terry...I remember him saying it the first time he was in the house, and it was talked about on BBLB back in the day with Dermot.

I thought Victor said he supported Liverpool last time he was in BB, but explained that he went to see West Ham too because he lived nearby..?

True Victor is from East London...On tonight's show he said his Dad had a property in Liverpool, and would sometimes take him to Anfield when he was younger.

Yeah but you're a girl, it's allowed *pats Barmy on the head* 

How did I not know Victor played for Chelsea?  If only he'd made it I'd love him more than I love Drogba.

Prom you are officially dicing with death...
I am a Gooner by the way..

I thought he was (I'm not as daft as I thought!)

He should really know better then with that kind of pedigree . Nope, it's no good, I am officially livid at his ridiculous comments  << that's me about to explode, bye cruel world 

Could you stay a bit longer so I can see Barmy take you task...

Perhaps he really meant to say he 'appreciated' the game rather than he was a football fan.

Anyway, it's your fault for thinking a fan means exclusive to one club.

And they say Jesus suffered.... 

you're a red ball?

Gasp!! the horror,Vic is playing the game..

As far as football is concerned that's exactly what it means. We're talking about integrity and loyalty here. You don't watch your 'first' team lose  and say oh never mind my second, third or fourth time might have won I'll have a look at them. It's not how it works. The whole point of being a lifelong football fan is to be made utterly miserable for 98 per cent of your life only to be overwhelmed by total euphoria when the useless bastards finally get it right!

omg, I'm trying to explain football to a woman *shoots self*.

You think that's a problem?  I live in a house with 1 Chelsea fan, I Gooner and 1 who supports Spurs - and all with justifiable reasons.  My ma in law was once a WAG...except they weren't invented then.  

I hate football of any kind,this is a football free zone house.

lol, I can just imagine you nodding politely every Saturday while they tear each other apart 

  It never came to blows but it was close.
Thankfully 2 have vacated the building, and the 1 remaining is now heavily outnumbered by the females of the species.

swift kick in the nutz or a good ol hair-pull/scratch-fest - and a bite or two thrown in  for Prom  (happy now Senora?? )

MODS, MODS, help meeeeeeeeee 

This is the worst fight I have ever seen.

It'll never go the full 15 (or should that be 12 nowadays?)

That's not necessarily what is meant by a "second team", though. It's not been that uncommon in the past (especially in the days when it was often virtually impossible for fans to travel to away games), for real, hardcore football fans to go watch another team (in a lower division, of course) when their "first" team was playing away.
For example, I believe it's traditional for a large section of the Leyton Orient support to be made up of West Ham and Spurs fans when those teams are away.

Nick Hornby writes about this in depth in "Fever Pitch". When he was studying at Cambridge, it was difficult for him to see his beloved Arsenal, so he watched Cambridge United to get his football "fix" - often through some very difficult times. And when they weren't playing, he'd go watch Cambridge City (A Southern League team)...

Nick Hornby was (and probably is) a miserable bastard as anyone who has read Fever Pitch will readily attest to. I won't point out the Gooner in him is plain for all to see for fear of Senora's wrath 

Cowdenbeath head hunter 

Speaking as a Yam Yam I understand it

Welling United have a special ticket price for Charlton season ticket holders for when Charlton are away.

Prom - you are being silly again,
My late lovely Dad was a huge West Ham fan. He was always very very loyal. BUT he and his best mate had season tickets for the local footy team as well.

West Ham was always his first love and he would be gutted if he could see what that Grant person is doing to them,

Ah hem!! Liverpool are my team and I hate England weekends as I want to see Liverpool play/ results! BUT do have my local league 2 team as my "second" team - they are so rubbish though, bless em, that their results don't often cheer me up!

You're like the OH's mum then - she likes Villa, Baggies and Bluenoses to do well. But then again, she's not a real footie fan - has never been to a game. No real footie fan in Brum likes all of those. Love one, hate the others - that's how it works.

My team is a bit like a religion to me, and there is no way I would want ANY of the other local teams to do well - they are our RIVALS!!
I am keen for Man U to do well as my "second team" though - but I would not be depressed every Saturday evening if they lost like I am when my team loses.
I am SUPPORTER by the way, not a FAN
