Cross-Channel Soccer Action

27 October, 2010
Posted in: Dublin, Ireland, Princess

Princess: Everyone in my school wants to know whether I support Manchester United or Liverpool. What should I say?
Me: For personal reasons, I’d prefer if you said that you supported Preston North End. Would you do that?
Her: No.

    There are some things that are just beyond the pale.

    Brilliant response to your dear Princess. In recent years I worked with a young kiwi male who was an ardent Man U supporter, and and older bloke (originally from Essex) who followed Man City. Their Monday morning conversations were hilarious for non-football followers like me. Of course I teased the Man U supporter – it was so much fun for both of us (he is now resident in England, so probably in a football haze)

    I do know a little as my sister lives in England with an Everton Supporter (who has a full-on Everton supporting family).

    Thank you sincerely for the laughs, smiles and thinking bits you share, sending care and huggles, Michelle and Ol’ Zebbycat down-under in NZ

    Lucy, some ways beyond the pale…

    Michelle, you are kind. I think that her parents’ ignorance about most things that children her age seem interested in is a sever trial to her but let us hope that she bears up.

    Since you have invested heavily in making your children unique (sometimes good, sometimes less so) how about having her support Barca!

    C, eh?

    H, I thought that they all came with unique as standard.

    Tell her I said she can have a lend of Southport.

    It’s near Liverpool and the replica kit won’t get robbed.

    Why should she settle for Southport when she can have Preston North End? Eh?
