    Fair dues to you Gerrit, you're certainly not a glory hunter.

    Mine don't stretch very far:

    England: Sheff Wed
    Scotland: Raith Rovers (with an interest in Celtic)
    Norn Iron: Ards
    Spain: Real Betis (only because a fan of theirs swapped his green and white striped jersey for my Irish jersey many years ago at the 0-0 in Seville).

    Italy look out for Roma's scores.
    Ingerland - Arsenal
    Ireland; Finn Harps and Cliftonville
    Scotland - Celtic.
    Argetina - Boca Juniors
    Where am I now? I'm over here,

    Anyhoo, Basel make my list for the above reason. Also there...

    Italy - Foggia. Remember seeing them draw with AC Milan in the year when AC dropped I think four points all season. Course, I cuold haev gone for AC, but sure that'd have been no fun!
    Spain - Real Betis. 'Cos when I played in College, my team was called Theyall Betis!
    England - Colchester United. Because I felt sorry for them after getting relegated to the Conference in 1989/90 with Mark Kinsella in the team. Also AFC Wimbledon.

    Support - Manchester United

    Kinda keep an eye/ used to go a few games a season - Altrincham FC and Bury

    Don't hate - Bradford City (went the odd game with a mate), AFC Wimbledon or the other clubs where the fans have saved their clubs.

    Hate - everyone else basically.

    No great feelings one way or the other for clubs in any other leagues tbh
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
