Why not start up a team in World of Warcraft. My eleven year old would be up for it. He spends enough time on there!Comment

Everton or West Ham make sensible 'neutral' choices.
Both have a long history of doing well (so you're not a numpty for supporting them 30 years ago) but more recently have been down on their luck (and everybody feels sorry for you, for having to be loyal to them). Though they are actually both doing better this year.

This way other kids will think he is a true football fan and will not get picked on.
Although if he is having to ask you then maybe football is not is true calling.....Comment

Get him to start supporting Bristol City now before they get promoted (fingers crossed) then he can travel the country visiting all the glamorous stadia safe in the knowledge that no-one will expect them to win so he'll never be disappointed.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I can't really suggest Bristol, since he doesn't live there.
I like the idea of him supporting his own club, so I've tracked this one down.

That'll sort the little fella out.
Cheers for the help folks.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Or get a box series of Sky's dream team DVD's and get him to follow the fictitious Harchester United aka The Dragons.

He asked, out of the blue, what football team should I support ?
I was a bit lost for advice to be honest.
I was trying to think of a team that everyone likes and is one of the best, but I can't think of one.
2 minutes later in World of Warcraft, the subject was thankfully forgotten.
Now he's got to wait until he is 12 before he can officially play it.Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galonComment
