Hull City and Nottingham Forest...

I was born in Nottingham so thats my link there, but to be honest having living in and now outside of Hull now for over 20 years I've followed the tigers for about the last 10 years - its mostly Paddy's fault as he got me in to them.

We'll be lucky to stay up this year, but either way I'm proud of our achievements, it was only a few years ago we where facing bankrupty and the administrators where called in, playing in a dilapidated stadium.

If my memory serves me well, I think we are one of the fastest rising teams throughout the leagues, being promoted 3 times in something like 4 years. And we also have some of the only players to have played in every league!

I'm hoping for a win against Boro this weekend - away at theirs - c'mon you tigers!

My teams are Malmö FF which is the local team.

Internationally I have always liked Barcelona and I don't mind watching a game when Inter is playing because of Ibrahimovic (which is originally from Malmö FF). I like Spanish fotball in general because of the quick and technical game the have.

Wow...didn't realise that the bottom 8 were getting relegated this year ;) And i'm actually thinking we'll finish in the top half.
 
Maybe you should check the league tables more often.
 
Just think...if Villa had as good home form as lowly Stoke you'd still have a chance of 4th ;)

When I was young I supported Kello Rovers my local non-league team and Liverpool.  Why Liverpool? I just loved to watch Kenny Dalglish play and at that time he played for Liverpool.  He had played for Celtic which was a shame as my third team of the time was Glasgow Rangers as my dad supported them (as a second team, big Kello Rovers fan).  
 
In my teens I went to more Rangers games and they have been the only team I have gone to watch over the last 20 years (other than Scotland).
 
I still like to see Liverpool do well though. :)

I was 'sent' to my local club, Tranmere Rovers, wallowing in the 3rd Division North until I started earning enough to watch something better.

I worked in Liverpool and most of the guys were Everton supporters, but a right load of moaners (no change there then) and I got on better with the 'pool guys, so went along with them. Revelation after Tranmere.

Phil Taylor was manager and not much was happening to get us back into the 1st Div. Got a bloke from Huddersfield, loony Scot called Shankly and things started looking up, but each season would end up with us just missing promotion 'til 62. :yahoo:Hell of a season.

Watched from the kop for about 15 years until someone died and I inherited a season ticket for the main stand. Never missed til Heysel in 85.:sad: Gave the season ticket to a nephew (he still uses it, driving from Leeds every other week).

Chelsea? Its half time..........

Oh. :devil:
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

I think anyone has the right to support whomever they like, as long as they choose that team and stand by them and love them forever more.

The fans that just pick Man U, Liverpool, Chelski (In the last 5 years) just so they can have a team, yet know nothing about football, do not strive to see as many games as they can, and do not get to the ground when ever poosible just drive me insane.

For Example : A guy that I work with is a Man U 'fan'
"Did you watch the game Tuesday night mate?"
"Nah"
"But Man U were on, on normal telly too"
"Yeah, but I was catching up on LOST so didn't bother"

Then after reading the BBC website for an hour or so, he started making statements about where the game was won and lost...

Drives me mad!!

Choose a team and live it!
