Girlfriend is American so on my trips over to her part of the world I've developed a bit of a crush on Minnesota Thunder. Was there to jeer at Beckham in the Copa Minnesota once while most of the Minnesotans around me wore their new Galaxy shirts. Went to penalties. The announcer lost the run of himself and told everybody the game had ended when Galaxy still had to take and score their last penalty to win. About 70% of the people in the ground obediently stood up and started towards the exits.

Will be seeing them again next week. Big glamour ties against Vancouver White Caps (Wes Charles still there?) and a few days later against the Puerto Rico Islanders. Watching terrible football in comfortable conditions will be quite a novelty.

Have family living in Nailsworth so always kept in touch with Forest Green Rovers too. Aston Villa and Dundee United a legacy of my childhood. Another lasting trait of this was to choose a team in pretty much every league around just to make it more 'interesting'. :)

Oxford United - Anyone over the age of 30ish might remember there 3 glorious years in the old first division - highlight when they beat QPR in the league cup final (Houghton, Langan and Aldridge played for Oxford that day). I supported Liverpool briefly before I could think for myself as my older brother did. I've supported the U's since I saw some grainy BBC footage of them beating Walsall in the old 3rd Div and followed their progress that year (where they won the division) and have been hooked ever since. We now proudly sit on the top of the Blue square premiership table. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Their support and ground would put all our clubs to shame, 3 home games so far lowest crowd ( on a Tuesday night) of over 5000.

I support Oxford as well. Before the demise of Setanta it used to be brilliant - more Oxford games live on TV than most non-big four premier league teams!

No, he was kicked off the team in July for fighting with 2 team-mates(individually on 2 different occasions, within a month of each other).

I was a little amused by that myself. Did I mention that this Copa consisted of one friendly against Goldenballs himself and ten other hired hands.

Huh I'm a little disappointed, I always had him down as one of the league's most gentle giants. :eek:

Carlisle Utd, after living there for a few years...despite the Roddy Collins/John Courtney & Michael Knighton occasional fiascos!
And Newcastle as well after I lived there for a bit...probably shouldn't move anywhere else really incase I start on more teams to look out for!

Grew up a Liverpool fan, but not hugely bothered about them these days, it's Town or nothing for me. But I do keep an eye on Lech Poznan's results in Poland after going to one of their games with a group of lads on a stag night in Poland....

I supported Man Utd like a madman when I was young, and then started supporting Rovers and Burton Albion.

Kinda grown outta of Burton Albion, still look out for them and all but nothing will come close to Rovers.

You might not guess this but I'm a Sunderland fan.

Theres a few teams I keep an eye out for. In England I check to see how Hartlepool, Darlington, Gateshead and Durham City doing as well as Aberwyth and Bangor in Wales. I also check up on A.C Milan, Barcelona and Tenerife

Paris St Germain for me...season ticket holder for three years now. Twenty years following Galway United has prepared me well for the ups but mostly downs of PSG.

Liverpool. Supporting them 27 years now. Picked them in an old football board game at the time. On average go over 26/28 times a season between home and away games.
