Also I believe it was Notts Forest that Ramblers fed and not Man Utd.
I dont I'm Irish not english.
A few lads put all english league clubs in a hat a few years back and picked out northampton town. They go over once a year just for the p1ss up really they couldnt give a fcuk about the club. IMO that's the way it should be.
Irish people supporting an english club sums up this country :mad: Although I have absolutely no problem if they support their local EL club first.

In Spain I look out for Barca's results, can't stand Real Madrid. In Italy, I look out for AC Milan's results, but I wouldn't consider myself a real fan of these clubs.
i wonder is their any topics on english sites "what IRISH teams do you support?"
dont think so ;)
F***ing great news
pats have just announced a friendly v Darlington.....now if only we can swing a game v Spartans my dreams will have come true!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dont support any 'English' club but support Cardiff City who play in the English league. Used to live over there and went to the games, the Div 1 standard was decent enough, far better than EL or SPL
I've been looking out for Everton lately, they've a mighty spirt

its perfectly natural
:rolleyes:
davros...i think we all know by now you dont like the EL :rolleyes:
Stay on topic please lads.
Davros, if you have nothing constructive to post, open a Celtic thread or something. This thread is about which English teams do people support, not about anything else.
Anyways, Im going to London in 2 weeks to see Fulham Vs Charlton in Craven Cottage. Easyjet is pure cheap lately.
Been there myself before. I think the Stevenage Rd Stand is very nice. Its certainly different from the oversized plastic things seen elsewhere.
As for the game itself, Ill be in London anyway, so why not. It was either that or Man U Vs Palace, but to go to that I would have had to get a ticket for a grade B game also, which, at sterling exchange rates, is far too expensive.
Thinking of going over to Villa agin in August maybe.
Liverpool Football Club
Don't expect anything too exciting. The mother in law to be is a Fulham season Ticket holder, been to see them versus Birmingham (1-3) and Derby (4-2 AET) recently and both games were pretty dire to watch despite the amount of goals scored. Quite like the look of Diop - good big strong central midfielder does the simple things very well. Fulham are badly missing Malbranque for that bit of creativity.Quote:

followed arsenal as a young fella but lost interest a few years back.
wouldn't say i've followed the english premier league in about 6 years.
Curtis Fleming probably had a hand?Quote:

Personally, I like Inter Milan because they are the only Italian team I have ever actually seen play in the flesh.
I believe i'm right in saying the Stevenage Road stand has a National Trust preservation order on it. I'm serious. I remeber Keegan being interviewed about while he was at Fulham and he said they were caught between a rock and a hard place because they were obliged by one body (NT) to maintain it in it's original condidtion and by another (UEFA) to bring it up to code.Quote:

Had a friend from Italy years ago who was an Inter fan, and I was in Milan, had a look round the San Siro, so I've always kept an eye out for them.
These days I tend to look out for Udinese, again a friend of mine supports them, and sent me over a scarf. Also because I feel a certain compassion for any fans who have Carsten Jancker imposed on them :eek:
