Look at MV, they have two entire terraces dedicated to euro-style and british-style supporters. They have already covered the spectrum.

For someone who came to football fandom late in life, what are the differences?

An oldie but amusing:

The contrast between English and European footballers was thrown into
sharp focus yesterday.

Asked what he thought about the former Spurs boss Christian Gross,
Frenchman David Ginola told The Sun: "When we were together every day,
it was like being with a woman that you don't love anymore. You have
to eat with them in the kitchen. There is silence and sometimes there
are rows. When you get a new manager, it is like being with a new
woman."

Asked exactly the same question, the sometime England keeper Ian
Walker said that Gross was "a w**ker."
