Our Chosen Football Teams......

[Sam]

MILLWALL? John, you have just gone down in my estimation, i'm shocked at you...

[Going Underground]

Still haven't really got a team up here in Scotland.

Blimey have you moved recently That's a long way to come for the Random 15's etc now

[jbom]

Yes, it would be a very long way to come for a Random 15!

[greatkingrat]

But at least you have the chance to set the first ever record for the Glasgow Subway!

[Mitchell&BrownLook]

There already is a record for the Glasgow Underground and it can be found here: http://www.tubeforum.co.uk/forum/viewto ... f=12&t=530

From my experience of two separate trips round the clockwork orange, it will be tough to beat.

Chelsea (English Premiership): my entire primary school supported them, and I grew up in a Chelsea supporting area, so it was a pretty natural choice.

Brentford (English League 1): most Chelsea supporters have a kind word to say about Brentford.

Interblock Ljubljana (Prva Slovenska Nogometna Liga/Slovenian First Football League): it's the closest football team to where I currently live, and the underdog of the two Ljubljana teams.

Sorry as pointed out by another forum member I appear to have missed out my "Conefrence and North East team" Darlington, the current FA Trophy holders
Also my Premier League and Championship looking like at least one change
Lastly Ashford Town (Middx) now in Zamaretto Central League...

I think that brings it up too date

[The Raven]

Liverpool (Premier League)
Portsmouth (Championship)
Brighton & Hove Albion (League One - University)
Havant & Waterlooville (Conference South - Former Local Team!)

I didn't realise I'd not replied to this one. So here you go:

Having been born there and living there for quite some time, my main team (so to speak) is the mighty Ipswich Town, formerly one of the greatest teams in Europe back in the day! (Sorry jbom, it had to be said!). Granted, Ipswich have been poor this year (despite some cracking results such as beating a full-strength Arsenal side 1-0 back in January) but I'm looking forward to the summer and next season with Paul Jewell at the helm.

Coincidentally enough my second team is Hertha Berlin who, since perkyperky's post have unsurprisingly been relegated from the 1. Bundesliga and were yesterday crowned champions of the 2. Bundesliga. They're expecting a bumper crowd of 78,000 for their final game of the season on Sunday, having averaged the best part of 50,000 for the rest of the season; not bad for a second division team! As for the why, I picked up a Hertha shirt a few years back for just going to the gym in and have since lived in Berlin and supported them as my local team and went to a few matches.

As far as other teams are concerned, I like to keep an eye out for how Arsenal do as I have a lot of respect for the ethos of the club and the style of football they play. Lower down the leagues I like to see Brighton & Hove Albion do well as they are coached by former Ipswich legend Mauricio Taricco, and I also look for the results of AFC Wimbledon just because I love the idea behind the club and would love to see them usurp Franchise FC in the coming years.

My main team's Gillingham, down in the doldrums of league one, because they're my local team and I've been going on and off for the last 15 years. I used to support Arsenal when growing up because at primary school they were the arbitrary team I picked - in the FA cup 3rd round in December 1999 I actually got to see an Arsenal game, decided I had much more fun at Priestfield and switched my allegiances. I still keep a look out for their scores and they're usually my chosen team on Fifa 10. I also keep an eye out for Ross County in the Scottish division 1 - chosen because they're the furthest team away from me without leaving this landmass - and Olympic Marseilles, because one of Gillingham's three famous ex-players (Tony Cascarino - the other two being Steve Bruce, and Marlon King who isn't famous for footballing reasons) used to play for them.

Since posting this, I've acquired my own Bundesliga team, Borussia Dortmund. I started following them last summer, as Dortmund is the closest top flight (German top flight at least) team to where my girlfriend is from. I had a stadium tour in my Gills shirt around the enormous Westfalenstadion and since then, they've lead the league pretty much all season. Sadly we've sold our creative midfielder to Real Madrid for €8m so that's next season over with.

QPR (Championship)
Kidderminster Harriers (Blue Square Premier)
St Mirren (SPL)

I feel somewhat lacking in not supporting a 'foreign' team. I suppose the closest I get would be my support for St Kilda in the AFL.

I recently played against Kidderminster for Worthing in a fans match, they are a good bunch of lads so along with Hayes & Yeading they are my adopted team in the BSP

Good man, SD!

(I also now get a chance to say that QPR = Premier League now! )

Have got rid of England they are proper shite and South Africa must have been the most pants display I have witnessed from the prima-donnas with 3 lions on their shirts

[tractakid]

I really don't care any more, but in the past my supported teams a based entirely on my fathers:

Ipswich Town (origin of my username, decoration of my bedroom )

Milton Keynes Dons, due to geographical proximity (first football match I saw live)

My dad also keeps an eye out for Southend and Wolves, due to living in both locations at some point.

I do still get enjoyment when results really matter. I loved the victory over Arsenal Uefacup81 previously mentioned, and I love a good upset in the FA cup.

I do care how England get on in the UEFA cup, but I won't be heartbroken or in despair if they lose.
