He's obviously into superstitions and horoscopes which is unusual for a bloke like him, but again it makes him a bit more interesting than otherwise.

Yes, in some respects it's avoiding the cliche of man = into footy, but speaking as a man from the North East it is a bit weird to have no interest in it at all. As I'm sure it is in other parts of the country to some extent or the other, football in the North East is totally integrated into the communities of each city, with quite fierce rivalries between them and life revolving around your chosen team. I'm not sure of Jay's background, but as I've never heard his father mentioned and him claiming to be a mummy's boy, I wonder if the lack of male role models in his life can account for his lack of interest in footy and his interests in horoscopes, etc.
