What football team should I support?

Arsenal, unless you simply don't like them.

You'd get to see them live a lot due to your area, lots of coverage in television (and other media), nice shirt, no gloryhunting possibility because no glorific feats in recent past, plays nice football etc. You'd also get to talk about them with many people around you as people in London know Arsenal (obviously) better than they do, say, Elche. Also has good fanbase.

 

If you don't like too big clubs, Swansea City plays some nice, very modern football. They often more possession than the other team. It's nice to watch them play. And they have a great fanbase too, which isn't all like "Gloryhunters".

FC Barcelona have good ethics (well mostly ) of producing their own players from their academy. I admire their hard work. I'm a new Zealander. This helped me confirm that I wanted to support Barca after I had discovered Ronaldinho on Youtube.

 

I honestly think that with the criteria you have thrown in you will have a very hard time finding the perfect club. Perhaps you should not try to support a single team but maybe pick certain games to key in on and try to pick a team depending on some criteria that you come up with. You could follow certain leagues or competitions. I would recommend small cup competitions so that you could easily go to watch games.

 

Since you are from London, you should support Arsenal.

 

The right answere, heck the only answere, is Stabæk in Norway

A small club with big aspirations, It came from nothing in the late 80'ies, climbing from the 5th tier to the top leauge in a short ammount of time. They debued in the Norwegian top series in 95. Won the cup in 98. Between 97 and 2003 they never finished below number 5 in the leauge, playing big games against top teams like Anderlecht and Deprortivo La Couruna in the european cups. Had some misfortune and got relegated in 2004 (after comming 3 in the leauge the previous season), bounced back and played som amazing football winning the leaug in 2008. Were close to qualifying into the champions leauge in 2009. Almost went banckrupt in 2011, was relegated again in 2012. Got promotet last year with the youngest team ever to get promoted to the Norwegian top series. Has just hired renowned american manager Bob Bradley. Is the only team in Norway with full time coaches for young players form the age of 8 and up. They are working closely with AC Milan and the Milan lab on developing young player and has hired a spanish fifa pro licensed coach with long running experience developing player and coaches for the spanish football federation as head coach for this youth program.

The comming season is going to be wildly exciting with a team of "young-guns" fighting against the odds to keep up in the competetive norwegian top series. They were everyones favorites for getting relegated again - before they pulled a rabbit by the name of Bob out of the hat last friday. This could be an epic season. If you're a succer for the underdogs - Stabæk is your game

Cheers

 

Sunderland. The team is enjoying moderate success in the EPL, and has many talented players. It's kind of a successful underdog team.

In my biased view, you should go for Real Madrid. Great uniform, great team, love their style of play, and overall an amazing team to watch and support.

 

I'm personally a PSG fan, but I would go with a team in Ligue 1 with good history like St. Etienne, Marseille, or Lyon. These are not bandwagon teams yet most people know of them and you will surely find any one of these 3 teams in the Champions league depending on what year it is. All three teams finish near the top of the ligue every year, and not to mention all of these teams have created some major stars. For example Benzema from Lyon, Michele Platini of Saint Etienne, and Zidane of Marseille! Lastly each of these teams has really interesting jerseys each in its own unique colorways that you will surely enjoy at least 1 of them! Anyways i hope you find your team and i hope i helped you choose as well!

 

Hahahaha this topic is amazing...

Asking for help to support a club. Yeah, I'm sure that when you pick the club it's going to be pure love.... my gosh

 

What guignol said - although it's probably too late. Unless you're 12 years old, it's unlikely that any club you choose now will develop into a lifelong passion.

 

go with Leyton. following lower division clubs builds character.

 

TFC! It is fun pissing off yanks with yankee players. When America collectively yelled "WTF" when TFC got Bradley was priceless.

 

My boys just turned 6 and 7, pick clubs the way they do. Typically they pick a team because it has a player they like. Last year they cheered for Tottenham with Bale, this year it is Real Madrid. You could also go with the cool name/nice kits route, they also like Newcastle. You could go for the hometown, for me that is Aston Villa for my boys it is FC Dallas. Pick one club from each of the major Euro leagues - that way you spread you bet.

 

he he he yeah. kinda the same boat for my family.

i chose Sheffield Wednesday a while back. but have since added: Columbus Crew(USA), Dumbarton FC(scottish), Athletic Bilbao(spain), and Tottenham. But THE WEDNESDAY are my main side.

my oldest follows man u & real
next oldest Spurs
next oldest THE WEDNESDAY & everton
the youngest arsenal =(

 

It's a question only you can answer ... even people can suggest ... right?
I remember my younger days ...

Like my mom used to say go with the one who loves you and can cook well for your dinner
Like my dad said, go with the one who could get well along with as company
Like my friends said go with the one who is hot and turn you on...
Like my lil' sis said go for the one she can get along in shopping LOL
