As a Man United fan, I wish my team were wearing one too.

But let's not forget that there are people in this world who do a huge amount of charity work anonymously and do not want any recognition for it and then there are those who expect plaudits for every little thing that they do for others.

Having said that, I hope that Man United, Bolton and Liverpool will wear a poppy on their jerseys this weekend.

I'm already wearing mine:)

Answer 4

I'm disappointed that my team is one of the 3 teams refusing to wear the respected poppy. I hope they change their ways and realise that it is a symbol of respect and to remember the dead.

Answer 6

What is it with these clubs ? What is their problem?i think that it is absolutely disgraceful that they refuse to do this small thing at a time when our country is still fighting a war . I can`t even begin to think what their excuses are or is it that the British Legion won`t pay for the privilege . As an Everton fan i am delighted that Everton are supporting this but if they had refused i would feel a sense of shame for them and i think the fans of these clubs should make their voices heard and let the clubs know of the fans feelings .
