My son-in-law’s team. I’m trying to make him a #CPFC fan through the Dani Muñoz connection. A common feeling in our house over many years now, he says Nacional have no chance…! 🇨🇴💚🤍

This football season has finished a joy in our household. I have spent about a third of my life in each of Croydon, Aberdeen and Newcastle. #NUFC daughter delighted, I’m #CPFC ecstatic, and now #AberdeenFC son in shock. We are emotional wrecks.

2 children & now 2 grandkids born Geordies. For my other son, when he was a young man his father said to him you support your local team. We are a family of diehards all supporting different teams, & by end of tomorrow we may all have won cups this year! #FACup #ScottishCup

I’m a lifelong Palace fan who having grown up in Croydon I’ve spent most of my adult life living in Newcastle and Aberdeenshire. I love football and get to about 10-12 games a season watching Palace (usually away from home) or the Dons.

Not sure why I should have so much warmth for a bunch of young men the same age as my children, but I am so happy for these guys and all #cpfc fans. Glad to have been there with some of the family ❤️💙

How come Britain’s left wing socialist party is packed with and dominated by very right wing cranks? Just one of those m normal things that happens in Britain, a very normal country where nothing at all fishy has been going on.
