I remember my mother slagging somebody off because they supported Liverpool and I went red and put my head down guiltily. Then my father visited us and got me a LFC mag and a pair of runners in green, white and black (the away strip colours at the time) and sort of broke the news to my mother gently. She wasn't impressed. But she's started to live with it now. She has to live with the shame of supporting Leeds. I like Leeds...but it's in a pitying sort of way these days. As in, those poor sods...

I inherited it from my grandad, although my mum says I was brainwashed. It's Mr Blogs and Number Four and Five Sons who support Leeds, poor deluded fools. The match wasn't that exciting. it was a pre-season friendly between Leeds (then in the premier league) and local team, Doncaster Rovers. Leeds won, although now it might be a different story.

Gary Kelly? I would love to be hit in the head by a football kicked by Gary Kelly...Really. My family all support Leeds. I did too when I was young until I decided that Liverpool were really for me. But none of us have ever been to a match in England. :( Michael – it is an excellent word that should be used by people all over the world :)

A small bit. :) Thanks for the answer on the mac and cheese thing! Not sure what elbow macaroni is (I'm presuming a certain shape of pasta) but it all sounds like a pasta bake - without the sauce. The boxed version sounds a bit gross but I think I'd probably like the homemade version though! Thanks so much for taking the time to get me up to speed!

I am a fan of both baseball and American football, and my Sundays this fall have been devoted to watching the American football games on tv. One thing I have always admired about European football fans is how much they get into it -- they are always rooting on their country with all of their hearts and souls. When the US puts together a team for an international event, few people here in the States knows who's playing on the team because their loyalty is usually to their hometown's team. But to answer your question, mac n' cheese is elbow macaroni cooked and topped with a cheese sauce. You can buy a boxed version where you just boil the macaroni and then add milk and butter to a powdered cheese sauce and mix the two together. It's okay... but to really make the best version you have to make it from scratch and bake it in the oven. It's reallllly good that way. Mac n' cheese is a staple here in the US as kids' food. There are a lot of picky kids here in the States that won't eat much other than mac 'n cheese. I am woefully ignorant of the state of Irish football, or of football in general.
