I just like making penis shapes. Homer today. An other tomorrow

I assume Man U is the team that has not sucked over the years. If you don't mind me asking you, at what age did you start supporting Man U, Bob? And what made you a fan of them (any particular player or their style of playing?) I guess you would have been one of the fewer kids watching association football when you started to see football.
My maternal side of the family are English immigrants. When I was a real young kid in the late 80’s, the only English soccer coverage on Australian TV was a 1 hour highlights package shown on a Monday Night, and replayed on the following Saturday afternoon, and the FA cup final, live. Therefore, every Tuesday afternoon whilst at my grandparents house, we’d watch a VHS recording of the Monday nights highlights. There were anywhere between 1-8 relatives watching, as most didn’t even have a VCR. Naturally, I had to pick a team - but I wasn’t allowed to pick a club someone else went for. That ruled out immediately Forest, Arsenal, West Ham, Either Sheffield, Derby, Birmingham City, Liverpool and Everton (Even though not all of them were in the top flight at the time). For some reason, I liked Man Utd’s kit. It was different to the others in that it was 3 colours and I really liked the Black socks. My passion for Utd and the entire league grew from there. As a kid, I was fascinated that there were SO many clubs, and the leagues were so big. All I had to compare was Rugby League, which had 13 teams at the time. So, a combination of no one else in my family going for Man Utd, and their socks. I’ve always maintained had Hull City or Wolves been in the first division at the time, I’d probably be supporting them (Tigers, and Amber/Black colours) Cool. Thanks a lot for sharing your childhood memories, Bob. We did have so many reasons for liking or disliking teams.

I’m a realist, I know when my team sucks, for example I know that the Marlins will probably be the worst team in MLB this year.

Realist.
Blue Jays fans who complain Vladdy Jr. isn't playing opening night should be banned.

I'd say I'm normally a realist. I'm pretty realistic when it comes to my expectations of the Braves or Hawkeyes. The Packers at times I can be a homer. Usually before the season starts I'd qualify myself as a homer but it's not too long into the season where my realistic side kicks in. It's mostly because I've been accustomed to Rodgers being super human and it masks the rest of the team.
