Who is Ron Weasley's favorite Quidditch player?
Nowhere in the series does he express any particular preference for one professional team over another... so anything we can suggest is likely no better than a guess. That said: While he is in school, likely his own, Gryffindor. After he graduates, likely the Holyhead Harpies, that being who Ginny is playing for. I suspect his loyalty to Ron does not extend to his cheering on the underdog Chudley Cannons.
Where did the term loose cannon derive?
From the 18th century British Navy. They began refitting their cannons aboard battleships to penetrate newer ironclad ships. To do this, the cannons used considerably more powder, and were much heavier, but on many of the ships, the support structures were not reinforced to accommodate the extra stress. As a result, many of these cannons became dislodged by the kickback and would often fly off the deck or roll around loose, causing damage and injury.
