1) When is football season in England?
It starts (roughly) from end of summer (September) till late spring the next year. They have a summer break for national matches.

2) Which teams would a Glaswegian cheer for? How about a Londoner? Best would be if there was an actual match I can look up.
Well, a true Glaswegian would either cheer for the Rangers or the Hearts.
Glasgow Rangers
Heart Of Midlothian

A Londoner - Tottenham Hotspurs, Arsenal, Chelsea (Also called the Blues because of their traditional blue kit), Crystal Palace - all London based footie clubs.

More info on the Premiere League football clubs can be found here You can find matches there as well I think.

3) What are the traditional watching-the-football-match-at-home snacks? Besides ale.
Crisps, Beans and Bangers

4) What time are matches usually played?
mid to late afternoon

Hope that helps :)

Thank you kindly!

I've gone rather cross-eyed trying to understand the lingo (The jockness! It burnsss usss, preciousss!) and from what I get so far, the Premiere League have English teams which play against each other. The Scottish league have all their own matches which have nothing to do with the Premiere League unless it's for the FA Cup or the Championship/World Cup, right?

Yeah something like that, the premiere league is for England only. The Scots have their own league and the clubs only meet up at UEFA championships.

It's Beanie's birthday!!
-- I know. In an effort to seem mature, I contained my fangirliness to meatspace. I tell you, Daddy's new projector screen downstairs was MADE for a Sharpe Marathon of luuuuvvvv!

, the impossible happend - Orlando bloom has an official website
-- I thought he'd always meant to have an official website as long as someone else made it for him. The whole technophobia, as with everything else to do with Young Master Bloom, got blown a bit out of proportion.
