Default English Football. Your team?
Hello there.

Couldn't find a thread, so thought I'd ask.

What is your English Football Team?

I started taking note of Arsenal in about 1998 and even more in 1999.
So I put them down as my "developed" team.

However, I also love the underdog. My developing team is Bradford City AFC, who are currently trying to avoid relegation in Coca-Cola Football League One (Third Division). They were in the Premier League a little over half a dozen years ago, but obviously didn't last.

I expect to hear a lot of Man U (I hate Man U!), Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle and Arsenal followers.
Back to Man U....I expect to hear too much of Man U...the team to follow when you don't know anything about the EPL! :P

I love the English Premier League.
Ive been following Manchester United since back in 1991 when the likes of Pallister, Schmeichel, Irwin, Bruce, McClair, Cantona, Huges, Kanchelskis, Sharpe and Ince were playing.
Ahhhh the days of waking up in the early hours of the night to watch the premier league highlights show back when it was broadcast on CH2(ABC).

Ohh yeah and my most hated club is Arsenal.

I love the English game, I don't have a team as such but love to watch certain players.
A few of the aussies of course, big Mark and Emerton play an honest game each week. John Arne Riise- THe man has a cannon of a boot
Gerrard- a determined toiler that you'd love to have in your team
Kanu for Portsmouth and Campo for Bolton are long time favs too.

Funny this thread should pop up now as I just settle in to watch the Champions League games live

Yeah I dont like soccer much, I very loosely follow Arsenal as they seem to be the only team to give it to Man U in the day. Anyone that beats Man U so you can bag their supporters is a good team..LOL

In car terms I rate Man U supporters the same as Ferrari, or HRT. :

Used to love LEEDS in the '70s, Now I suppose Liverpool,
Always GLASGOW RANGERS, went to see them nearly every game when I was a boy.
Now of course Melb Victory, went to the games and it was just like being back at Ibrox just not as many people or fights etc.
