I'm a proud supporter of Dundee F.C. (The greatest team ever to be called Dundee FC ) We're currently fighting for promotion to the Scottish Premier League, and making very heavy weather of it - another draw today

Having read Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, I'm tempted also to be an Arsenal supporter, but my son has convinced me that we are Spurs fans. Not sure why.

It was obvious why Derby is in last place. I have followed Spurs somewhat since Kasey Keller was their keeper. Both Tottenham (White Hart Lane) and Arsenal (Highbury, now Emirate) stadiums are near Muswell Hill. You and your son can be North London derby rivals.

I watched USA vs. Mexico the other night. It ended in a draw 2-2. Was there a point to it?

Other than making US fan's skin crawl? $$$ and prep for qualifying.

My son reports back that we are Spurs fan because their firm is called the Yid Army, and if you can explain that to me I'd appreciate it.

Their firm (those morons who fight) are indeed called The Yids. I think it comes from a huge Jewish following of the Spurs.

I thought I'd replied to this thread earlier today. So, I didn't watch much football today because the games on TV didn't much interest me. I did catch a little of Liverpool vs. Barnsley in an FA cup match.
