Teams you quite like

[Anfield Mole]

From another thread in this forum we can deduce that the likes of Chelsea, Man U and Bolton are none too popular among the members of this forum. However, what other teams do you actually like?

I keep an eye on the likes of Crewe and Tranny Rovers where a lot of former Liverpool youth team players end up. I also look out for the results of Hibs, Barcelona and AEK Athens.

How about you?

[brendan]

There are none whose results can have any real effect on my mood, ie I actually care.

However, I do have a soft spot for Tranmere, Barca, Juve and Celtic.

I also support anyone playing United, Chelsea or Everton (apart from the obvious occasions when they are playing eachother, when I have to weigh up how useful a certain result is to Liverpool, before calculating my Hatred Index to come up with a "least worst" option.

I also support ANY foreign team facing English opposition in European competitions. Yes, you read that correctly.

[Maestro]

Rapid Vienna!

:rock:

[Mumsafan]

Valencia.

[Maestro]

Valencia.

Doesn't a certain Fernando Morientes play for them??

[brendan]

Doesn't a certain Fernando Morientes play for them??

I am SO glad he's fucking gone.

[Mumsafan]

Doesn't a certain Fernando Morientes play for them??

I have followed them since before that. I like to go over and watch them once a season but missed last season.

[Le Chacal]

Are you?:rolleyes:

Roma, Celtic, Dortmund

[Maestro]

I have followed them since before that. I like to go over and watch them once a season but missed last season.

Quite. It was my duty to mention the fact, however.

:handshake:

[Mumsafan]

Thanks Will. (I had actually forgotten about that)

[Le Chacal]

It was also Rafa's, Momo's, Aurelio's ex club...

[Mumsafan]

They weren't that good before Rafa went there

[Maestro]

They weren't that good before Rafa went there

But they did get to the Champions League Final twice in a row...which is rather good. Just not as good.

[Le Chacal]

Hmmm, they were not at Valencia before Rafa went there...

[Tinkerbitch]

Real Sociedad, feel sorry for them since we got their best player and always look out for their results. Barnsley because they're my other half's team and they try and play good football.

[fowlen]

Tranmere, Crewe, Aberdeen, Real Sociedad

As for other teams in the EPL, I like to see Man City and Spurs doing well, and based upon the football they played last season I took a fancy to Wigan too. Obviously when they play us, there is only one result that I hope and wish for, but I'd like the above teams to have decent seasons, and finish as high up the table as possible (as long as they are behind us)!

As well as the usual suspects I also really hate Pompey for some reason!

[Maestro]

You'e not married to Michael Parkinson, are you?

[Le Chacal]

Ha! Valencia you meant...Valencia were quite good before, he brought them to the next level for sure

[Tinkerbitch]

You'e not married to Michael Parkinson, are you?

:D sometimes it feels like it!

[Mumsafan]

Hmmm, they were not at Valencia before Rafa went there...


Valencia weren't at Valencia before Rafa went there? I don't get it

[disco]

I quite like Celtic (few friends who support them), Barcelona and..... Southampton.

Southampton's just because I grew up there.

[Mumsafan]

Ha! Valencia you meant...Valencia were quite good before, he brought them to the next level for sure

Sorry didn't see this post

[Steve]

Oldham Athletic and Rangers.

[marley1]

ajax at the 'de meer' stadium, barca since the cruyff era and a.c. during the berlusconi era(sorry but its true).

[Le Chacal]

Berlusconi is still AC Milan president...

[Jan-Erik]

Vålerenga and Barca.

[marley1]

Berlusconi is still AC Milan president...

who said he wasnt!?!

[Nic83]

Celtic and Barca would be my only other teams outside Engerland.(excluding National teams),

In England, i have a liking for Westham(like their style and manager) and sunderland.(great fans).

if sunderland were great fans they would fill the stadium but that hasnt been the case for some time now!:handshake:

[Mumsafan]

There's nothing to see there that's why

[Le Chacal]

who said he wasnt!?!
So why did you mention "during Berlusconi era"? He's been their president for about 20 years...

[Maestro]

So why did you mention "during Berlusconi era"? He's been their president for about 20 years...

I would imagine he meant the Arrigo Sacchi era - best non-Liverpool club side I've seen in my lifetime...

[hockin_monster]

Cheltenham Town and Nottingham Forest, I have soft spot for.

[Bob]

In order Loughgall, Portadown, Glasgow Rangers, Gretna (quite a recent one obviously), Barcelona, and Dundee FC.

Football's great!

[Le Chacal]

That makes more sense. Sacchi was one of the first on the continent to play the 4-4-2 with zonal marking...

[Diego]

Boca, Napoli, are my teams nr.2 Barca folow there after, although i don't hate Real, quite like them somtimes, but it's harder now with zidan gone...

villareal i like, don't mind inter, Benfica, valencia...

[Le Chacal]

Maradona fan obviously...

[MrsB]

Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Grasshopper Club Zürich.

I can't understand why anyone wants any English side other than us to ever win anything in Europe. I would be happy if we were the only English side to win anything in Europe from now until the end of time.

Nice picture and I hadnt heard about that movie...

Maradona was wearing Puma boots though...

[rezaeos]

Celtic and AC Milan for me. The latter nearly pissed me off in Istanbul though!

[mark1975]

Celtic are the obvious one, and Barca, I've always quite liked Athletico Madrid and Ajax too.

[Don Quixote]

*tsk*

Glory supporters.

it's been on my to do list since i was a kid, have always wanted to live in buenos aires, and scream my lungs out on terraces of la bombanera...

hopeing to go there as soon as i can, when ever that wil be :o

[Kopite75]

I like QPR, Ipswich Town, Barca, Rangers, Juve, Bayern PSG and Ajax in other leagues. Being in the US dont get to see some of them as much as I would like to though

[leftpeg]

Carlisle United and Portland Timbers. Carlisle, because some of my family live in Cumbria and I go there whenever I travel to England, and Portland, because they are my local team and present my only real opportunity to see football in the flesh on a regular basis.

[andyinswinton]

Torquay United - My mums family lived there before moving to Salford.

Bury - I was their accountant for a number of years so have a real soft spot for them.

[G_Man]

Garforth Town :handshake:

[Maestro]

I cannot STAND Bayern Munich - they are the Chelsea of Germany, and no other Bundesliga club has a chance against their resources. My favourite German team is Hertha Berlin and I also have a soft spot for St.Pauli, because of their fans...I also have been forced to hate Ajax by 2 good mates of mine from Eindhoven - therefore, I also like PSV!!!

[ningnangnong]

Newcastle United Jets

[Shaggy]

Always look for Chesterfield's and Stirling Albion's results.

[kurtangle01]

viking stavanger in norway and rangers in scotland.

Quality.

:haha: :haha: :haha:

[Mightycheese]

Brighton and Hove Albion - I live in Brighton now (from Wallasey)
Legia Warsaw (Poland) - Stayed in Poland for a month or two, and those boys are nuts.
I've also got a soft spot for West Ham for some reason as well, and although they're an awful team, I like Sheffield Wednesday because I saw them beat the Mancs 2-0 about 8 years ago.

[PTP]

Tranmere would be my second team, look out for Stoke City's results(yes stoke) as I was at uni in Stoke for 3 of the best years of my life so have a soft spot.

too right mate, no tunnel vison here:D

[Harv]

Atletico Madrid...family team. Aguero is looking very good for them.

Adelaide Utd...my local team

have a soft spot for West Ham, some family members in england are avid Hammers fans, so i developed a liking for them...didnt do themselves any harm in their Fa cup showing either:handshake: Great fans.

I dont really support any Italian teams...but if i had to name a side i follow more than any other it would be Roma and Napoli.


None come close to Liverpool though.:rock:

[Dhav]

Always had a soft spot for Inter since they had the 3 Germans Matteus, Klinsmann and Brehme

And of course Olympiakos in Cyprus (not Greece) when they were managed by Ronnie Whelan

[dww]

if sunderland were great fans they would fill the stadium but that hasnt been the case for some time now!:handshake:

the Sunderland fans organisations though are really genuine football fans and have helped many of the smaller teams which have faced financial problems in the last few years - collecting money and bringing supporters to games for York for example (and I believe they put on a friendly and had collections for Cambridge too).

As you might guess I have a soft spot for York (where I went to uni) and Cambridge (my hometown). I also like Norwich as it is my Mums team and I went to watch them a couple of times in my formative years and they played good football and the ground had a nice atmosphere.

Surely the only club in the world to have a tent on their badge

http://www.zyprioten-total.de/bga/WAPPEN/thumbs/olympiakos_nicosia.jpg

[Mumsafan]

That's the tent from Istanbul airport surely

[Parm]

I always have had a soft spot for West Ham, (was born near their ground)
Barca-of course, what a club and tremendous philosophy towards football.
After that, not too many others I'm fussed with.

[andyinswinton]

Why is there a tent on the badge?

:haha:

Thankfully not.

[Maestro]

Why is there a tent on the badge?

because they're camp to a man? :confused:

[Dhav]

Why is there a tent on the badge?

Apparently because the club was founded by people who like camping.

I shit you not - that's what I heard

That's brilliant!! So if the founders were into sheep shagging, you can only imagine what their badge would like like...

That's right. There'd be a pic of Kaip on their badge

[BobSkinstad]

I'm a member of FC Bayern München. Manage to get to most home games, despite the sellouts.

[Dhav]

That's right. There'd be a pic of Kaip on their badge

I've always wondered - where do the Welsh get this reputation from of being sheep shaggers?

I've come to the conclusion that it can only be because they shag sheep.

[Mumsafan]

Your conclusion is correct.

[Ataturk]

glasgow rangers, hearts, west ham - for family reasons

marseille, borussia dortmund - i just have a soft spot for.

arsenal. i respect the way wenger has his teams play and his ability to bring youngsters through.

and now.. im gonna cheer city on coz they have Didi - legend of istanbul!

[Maestro]

I'm a member of FC Bayern München. Manage to get to most home games, despite the sellouts.

Grrr...wer möchten wir lynchen??

Bayern München!!

[Eth]

Have respect for West Ham after the Cup final last year - great team and they are a club with a bit of culture - In Scotland I have followed the results of Celtic - In Ireland I follow Finn Harps, In Northern Ireland I look out for Linfield's results - In Spain it Barca, Germany I look out for Dortmund, Italy I looked out for Juve

[LFCman]

West Ham (Just always liked them dunno why)

Aye thats a good point. Soft spot for'em, like them to do well. Appreciate the way they play Football.
