. . . ( and are willing to tell me )of a resource that explains the origins of club nicknames? Some are obvious such as Gunners, and Blues, but what about Latics and Addicks, Blue Brazil and Blue Toon?

Also, where can I find out how cup rounds (even though they do suck arse most times) are determined? How do I know in Scotland or England what round of each cup competition I can expect to be in?

Well, in Brasil, Palmeiras have the Porco(Pig) nickname because in a home match against their baddly rivals Corinthians a Pig invade the fields and dribles everybody better than any of their player was able to do...

The only one i know...

"Cowdenbeath The Blue Brazil Blue Kit-Brazil refers to the quality of the team!"

delusions of grandeur. I wonder if the researcher knows this, because it doesn't show up in the game
