Just pick your team and cross your fingers - the team to beat is Team Phunk - she keeps whipping everyones backsides!

Maybe I should pick some rubbish team and hope they do good... I mean even the Scum, I mean Spurs, managed to finish fourth last season.

As you are obviously not a Spurs fan, who do you support just so I know whether to dislike you or not - lol?

Ah I think I will leave you guessing but let me say I dislike you - lol!

Actually though I think your team will do well this season. Your young players now have another season under their belt and I really think it could all come together this time round. Last season you showed some definite promise!

The coming season may hold some surprises all round. I think Liverpool, now with a better manager, may nick some good results. Not sure that Man C will fulfil what should be achieved on paper as I am not truly convinced that all the players will gel together (money sometimes just produces a team of individuals with diva tendencies). I am worried that Fulham will turn into a thuggish team if Hughes is at the helm and I think they will miss the tactical play they have been used to over the last couple of seasons. I like Rednapp but can't stand Spurs and Fergie will just blame everything but his players. Bring on the season.......

In my years of experience, being an OAP , I have learned never to expect too much, that way if your team cocks it up then you won't be disappointed.

Yeah we showed some promise, but look at the last few easy games!

'In all my years analysing groups of people in terms of making perfect partners<http://dating.hereisthecity.com/>, football fans have been the most difficult group', Ivana says.
'My research has led me to believe that couples are better off not going to watch matches together', she continues, 'As particularly younger men much prefer to watch their teams with their 'proper' mates, having a few drinks before and after the game, and stuffing pie and chips like it's going out of fashion. Arguments can often ensue when a female partner wants to join in the fun. In many way, the perfect partner for the average football fan is one who actually dislikes football - that way, the guys will be free to support their team without any 'interference'.
Here's the comments on the individual team fans
Arsenal

Arsenal fans are generally gentlemen. They are discerning in their choice of partner, loyal and considerate. They also don't expect much in return. Five seasons without a trophy will do that to you.

Aston Villa
> Really straight forward guys. What you see is what you get. You might not get wined and dined and bowled over by these guys, but they will never cheat<http://dating.hereisthecity.com/> on you, and you will soon learn that they truly love you the most - after their team, that is.

> Birmingham City
> These men are a little more basic than their Brummie rivals. All those years letching after Karren Brady have take their toll. And so have all the pies and pints. The biggest thing about the average Birmingham City fan is unfortunately usually his belly.

> Blackburn Rovers
> These fans are surprisingly sophisticated. Perhaps it's because they come from 'old money' - founding members of the Football League, and the only team outside 'the big three' to have won the Premier League. These fans will forgive you anything, and fondly remember you as you were when you first met, rather than criticizing you for how you currently look.

> Blackpool
> He will probably live in a partially built house, which he still shares with his parents (even though he's in his forties). If you are young, free and sexy, he won't believe his luck, but he won't spend much money on you either. He'll be good fun, but you'll soon dump him - and he'll simply shrug his shoulders, because he knew it was coming.

> Bolton Wanderers
> A lot of these guys have been around a long time, and are quite frankly passed it on the romantic front<http://dating.hereisthecity.com/>. And it's not as if they were that romantic in the first place. Boringly conventional, don't expect a live wire - just a man mainly content with his pipe and slippers.

> Chelsea
> In the same way that many Chelsea fans arrived from other clubs without warning, so Chelsea man will often return home after a visit to another man's wife. Don't trust him, or at least accept him for what he is - a selfish, flash-harry with a
Narcissus complex.

> Everton
> What can you say about your toffeeman ? Careful with his money, so don't expect him to splash out. A good night's entertainment probably involves staying in and watching Brookside. And he'll be as passionate as a tin of Chang beer.

> Fulham
> A Fulham supporter is every girl's dream. Well off, daft as a brush, and able to go like a train<http://dating.hereisthecity.com/> for hours.

> Liverpool
> Chances are that he'll love Stevie Gerrard more than you, and will probably be going through a tough old time at the moment, given that his team is going nowhere and all the best players look like ending up somewhere else. Given the choice, you'd be better giving Liverpool fans a wide berth in the foreseeable future.

> Manchester City
> Cynics - every last one of 'em. Always waiting for the bubble to burst, and it usually does (fairly quickly). Manchester City fans are suspicious types, born of decades of thwarted hopes and fading dreams. Beware the green eyed monster.

> Manchester United
> A touch arrogant, with a big sense of entitlement. These guys are used to wearing the trousers at home. Happy to spend a fortune following their team, but they will begrudge shelling out for a new dress for you (or a holiday abroad unless Man U happen to have a European match nearby). These guys will have three priorities - Manchester United, Manchester United and Manchester United.

> Newcastle United
> Fanatical, addictive personality types. Expect a really intense relationship, followed by a quick break-up. These guys have low boredom thresholds where women are concerned. They can go from all to nothing in quick succession. On the otherhand, they usually have great sense of humours, and life will never be dull<http://dating.hereisthecity.com/>.

> Stoke City
> Generally overweight, and have an overblown sense of their own importance. Likely to suffer from temper tantrums, and will never be first up at the bar. Many of these guys have never grown up - and never will. If it's a mature relationship you want, steer well clear.

> Sunderland
> These guys appear to be as hard as nails, and if they half a brain they'd be dangerous. But beneath that tough exterior, there's a real pussycat who will treat you like a woman and behave like a real man in return. Loyal to a fault.

> Tottenhan Hotspur
> A real jack-the-lad. Game for a laugh, but a family man too. Likes nothing better then a family holiday in the sun during the close season. In high spirits at the moment, and looking forward to the new season. May soon need a lot of care and attention though, as they'll probably be back down to earth with a bump.

> West Bromwich
> Like his team, half the time he doesn't know whether he is coming or going. Gets easily confused, but does try to do the right thing. Not the brightest bulb in the box, but at least he'll make an effort.

> West Ham
> As crafty as a barrel full of monkeys. You'll quickly lose your heart to these cheeky chappies, but they are often not the marrying kind<http://dating.hereisthecity.com/>. You'll never forget them, though, and always wonder what might have been.

> Wigan Athletic
> Dull as dishwater, these guys are just happy to have you to show off to their mates (not that they have that many). But most are hardworking guys, and their efforts will enable you to keep a good home. Your mother would approve.

> Wolverhampton Wanderers
> Dedicated followers of fashion these guys are not, but they have no airs and graces. They also have plenty to say on a variety of subjects they know absolutely nothing about. Good entertainment value though, and they are generally reliable.
