I've got my tin hat on for the flack, but a Tottenham Hotspur fan all my life.
For all you Americans, we currently have Clint Dempsey and Brad Friedel in our squad., both are legends!
COYS!!
Same here Frazer. Big supporter of Spurs from the States. Love the squad. Tough loss last week vs Chelsea though. Really glad the squad picked up Dempsey. He's played well for the team. COYS!0 -

For the second year running, all our clubs in the Champions League seem to be struggling.
Is this becuase the standard in the PL is going down or are the rest of Europe catching us up?

I think the problem is the EPL is played at a far different tempo than European games. Thats is the problem. The Europeans bar Barca and Real, play a far more methodical approach as opposed to the EPL 1 million MPH way. We get found out as a result. Barca and Real, just play anyone off the park when they hit top form.
I love the EPL, but we will only struggle further.
Agree totally bet you were gutted when Chelsea won the Champs League and put you in Europa!
Initially I was gutted, alot of my friends are born again Chelski fans so the ribbing I got from that was in the same league as Badger baiting!!
However in hindsight, we lost our right to be in the Champs league during the Fabio, Woy, Harry situation. We SHOULD of finished 3rd in the Premier league but Redders bottled it and got caught between two jobs, one he had and one he wanted. As a result we paid the price, finished 4th and the rest is history.
It is refreshing though to see the EPL (Bar United) totally 'balls-ing' it up in the Champs league.0 -
Barnsley fan all the way .... Come on you tykes !!!!!0

Mancini seems to be using that excuse "we failed to prepare properly" a lot, said the same when Everton beat you. Another bit of great business by Moyes selling you Rodwell

Birmingham City fan here.
Having a poor season compared to last (new manager taking over doesn't seem to have helped) but last season was fantastic following them in Europe! I'm 44 and never thought I would see the day.
The picture in my weight loss ticker is from last season when we took 8,000 to Bruges for a Europa League game - a goal down inside 3 minutes but won 2-1 with the winner in the 10th minute of injury time!
Happy days. Then, not now.0 -
Liverpoooooooooooool!!!0

Manchester United all the way!!!
We. Are. UNITED!!
Yes we are :happy:0 -
Liverpool FC, I am going the match tonight.0

Silly Europeans...Flamengo all the way0

Well first let me explain that I am an American and I am originally from Ohio. My football team is the Cleveland Browns and my baseball team is the Cleveland Indians. They usually suck. And they suck big time, but they are my teams and I will cheer and hope and support them no matter what. That being said...I got addicted during the last World Cup. The next logical step from there was to pick a Premier League team to support that I could watch at home. I picked Manchester United as my team to support so that I could finally back a team that was going to win a lot and they have Wayne Rooney. So now I am a soccer/proper football fan! I am planning a trip to England in a few years and nothing would make that trip better than a trip to Old Trafford.0

I love Old Trafford, brilliant atmosphere.0 -
You know if you simply 'pick' Man U as you football team you will never have any real credibility or respect as a fan. Same as if you had picked one of the bankrolled clubs like Chelsea or Man City.
I have a lot of respect for the , Man U, Man City and Chelsea supporters just not the 'new' ones
And there is no atmosphere like Anfield.
Football has been ruined by the money now I enjoy it less and less each year.0 -
East Fife! :bigsmile:0

I don't know my local library was quite similar last time I visited.0 -
I love watching the Premier League! My favourite teams are ManCity, Arsenal, and Spurs. Well, up until that point when AVB finally gets rid of Friedel - I'll be SO through with Spurs then! (love Friedel. And Howard Webb *phwoar*)
That's why you support Spurs? Thought it was strange to support Arsenal and Spurs! Haha.
Yes, I have to admit that it's mainly Friedel ... *giggles girlishly*0 -

Think Liverpool gained at lot of 'glory hunting' fans when they used to be successful
I suppose if you have never followed football but then find an interest in it you will always pick one of the top teams at the time can't really blame people for that they may become as passionate and loyal as the best.
Whats your prediction for the Derby?0 -

I agree, I support Liverpool because I used to live there and I love them. I do get stick for not supporting my local club, though (Weymouth, anyone?) which I think is stupid. I just like football. I like Man United (argh, I know, shut up!) and I watch Charlton when I can as it's my current closest local team and I go watch my boyfriend's football team... The whole glory hunting fan thing is stupid if you just apply it to people who 'pick' a team that is convenient to them.0 -

As I said...I started out watching the World Cup and Rooney. I guess if he were a Hotspur, I would probably be a Tottenham fan, but he isn't. I don't have any home town team to support in the Premier League b/c in my life I have only spent about 8 hours in England and that was b/c I missed a flight at Heathrow when coming back from Morocco and was stuck there for the night.
I understand the whole hating teams with money thing as I have the same feelings towards the New York Yankees. It doesn't make me any less of a Cleveland Indians fan and it doesn't make the Yankees fans any less passionate. It just means that they beat us a lot more and it is that much more satisfying when we beat them.
You don't have to respect my choice, I guess. I just thought it was nice to post about a sport that I have only recently become interested in. Sorry to be one of those who you apparently see as just jumping on the rich team's bandwagon.0 -

Lisa don't worry lot of people will think it's great you've started to enjoy one of the greatest games in the world, you were never going to support Bury or Rochdale, you've got your reasons and good for you! By the way Wayne Rooney supports Everton and played for them before big spending Man Ure came in for him!0 -

I think Everton will do us mate 2-0 I have just got back from the match we won but we where shocking.
And yes we got plenty of glory hunting fans now, as Everton are gaining fans because its cool to pick everyone rather than Liverpool because the scouse working class are being squeezed out if the club for rich out of Towners . I am 40 mate life long fan I have seen it happen and the American owners are making it worse .0 -

Ha ha banter love this!!
There has been a lot of changes at the club the new middle class fans don't know what to sing or chant.
The poor form isn't giving us much to cheer about ATM ,
Give respect to the blue****e mate bucking the money trend.0 -
Would put my money on Everton as well.
Everton were the best side I have seen at the Liberty this season......and possibly better than anything last season. They were class.0 -
As an American, I gotta go with Dempsey and Tottenham. Duh.
Anyone but Man U!0
