Football reveals character.

What do you do when you’ve got the ball? Are you a selfish prima donna (Tyson), a scaredy-cat (Sullivan), an optimiser (Pascal), or a guy who’ll do a piece of skill that puts a full back flat on his arse, then help him up (me)?

What do you do when the other team’s got the ball? Nothing (Tyson), run around a lot (Sullivan), follow the manager’s instructions exactly (Pascal), or whatever you want because you know best (me)?

That’s your character.

And the way you support your team says something about you, too. There are lots of types of fan.

The Conspiracy Theorist—believes every referee in the world, including ones not yet born, are involved in a plot to deny their team a throw-in on the halfway line in a match they’re winning 2–0.

The Transfer Nut—loves gossip and rumours about transfers. Signing a player shows you’re high in the food chain. Failing to sign a player shows you’re slipping into irrelevance. Loves to talk about “net spend.”

The Fatalist—believes their team will always find a way to lose, to screw things up. Is usually right.

The Optimist—believes their team will do well. Will come back from a two-goal deficit. Will win the game in hand. Will beat relegation. Is usually wrong.

The Analyst—pores over data looking for patterns that will back up his esoteric theories. Will say things like, “Yeah we lost three–nil but we battered them in final third entries.”

And of course …

The Sebastian Weaver—dangle the prospect of a third-place league finish and a cup win and he’ll sell you his own grandmother.
