Manchester United fan. Waves to Hellohah 👏

To mark my place in the shiny new thread (thank you @DuncinToffee) I will respond to @MrsMitford3 from the old one.
Always club over country.
We have, what? 2 months break from club football, the national team plays too infrequently to support in the same all consuming way. Not that I wouldn't love to see England win the WC or the Euros because I would. But unless I win the lottery, we will never go and watch them at the stadiums playing in tournaments.

Hi @placemats 👋🏻 finally a fellow red 😂

Checking in. Thanks for the new thread! :)

Thanks for the new thread!

Hi,

Man Utd fan here as well- married to and mother of Pompey fans (unsure of how that happened).

I'm also Welsh, so no skin in tonight's game, although dh and the boys prefer England.

My claim to fame in football, is that many years ago pre dd (who has just graduated), I played in the WFA Cup.

Mostly glory hunters, I see. I support non league clubs. Proper football.

Thanks for the new thread, I've also punished myself with a season ticket! £675 (I think)

Signing in. Thanks for the new thread.

Always club over country. I'm almost hoping we don't come back against DR Congo so that Saka and Rice can have a nice break. Likewise France and Saliba. They can join Havertz on a nice holiday...

Thanks for the new thread, roll on August

@DuncinToffee Cheers for the new thread, Dunc! Club over country for me.

Thanks for the new thread.

Just a reminder to all to please report to our Captain @DuncinToffee with your club affiliation so she can add you to the list pinned at the top. 👀

@DuncinToffee reporting as requested- or do you want by pm?

Just post on here which team(s) you support and I add it to the list.

My team is Man Utd, my dh and ds1 follow Portsmouth so I get to hear a lot about them.

chortling at being called a glory hunter for following one club forever (who are now in League One) and another that is the closest actual club to my house who are shite and were definitely relegation candidates...

Happy retirement to the legendary Santi Cazorla. I hope he comes back and coaches for us.

We signed a goalkeeper, we signed a goalkeeper!! Now you might not think it’s that big a deal but we had to use five different ones last year, only one of which was not a loan! So onwards and upwards!

Huge respect for the players who step up. 18!!!

I can’t wait for the new season to start. It’s great to see Coventry back in the Premier League. They’ve been through so much in the time that they’ve been away. We have them for our first match!
