As can be watching Milton Keynes Dons (the new 'franchise' that once was honoured with the name Wimbledon--oh, to be a real club again), no matter where they are in the table.

Which table is that these days?:rolleyes:

Manchester City

That would be League Two (which they unfortunately top last I checked--thankfully it is a long struggle up from there), hence my reference to it being doubly painful to watch them. I was not a supporter when they moved, am not a supporter now, and will never be a supporter. I was interested back in the days of Wimbledon, when they were a real club.

My choice was easy, my friends were all arsenal and man u fans so I just asked them what team they hated the most. They all said chelsea so from that day I was a chelsea fan. I was born a Penn State fan so my room and half the things I owned were blue so that just made it easier. I love arguing with people and being hated (when it comes to sport, most of my friends are Notre Dame fans too).

Support Arsenal if you want to watch beautiful football for $250 a time. Yes, they're in the 'Big Four', but, erm, you only support them because you saw one of their players in the World Cup and instantly decided to support whoever he played for. It's all really just one big coincidence that turned out well for you... really.

Become an Aston Villa fan if you want to support a team that should be one of the best, but never, ever will be. Kinda a li'l soul-destroying, but in a nice way. You don't really care anyway, do you? Potential should be left alone, because if you never fulfill it, you'll never realise how pathetic it truly is.

Root for Birmingham City if you dislike claret and blue and want to support a team that can be mediocre, but will never achieve such heights. Also if you consider Jasper Carrot funny, but why would you?!

Cheer on Blackburn Rovers if you don't want to be a complete glory supporter, but can still say you won the Premiership as recently as when the Spice Girls were in their prime and everyone wore baseball caps backwards.

Yell c'mon Bolton Wanderers if you have access to a TV channel that broadcasts Championship matches.

Buy one of those stupid Russian hats and go barmy for the Chelsea if you believe that supporting a football club is all about minimising the prospect of losing in a game based entirely on whether your chosen side wins or loses...

You (yes, you!) should be a supporter of Derby County if you've ever wondered if you could touch up a sheep and get away with it. You now hate Nottingham, for they all dwell in trees, those silly persons.

"Everton? Why would I want to support Everton?!" Well, I'll tell ya. Because you like history, you like tradition, but you don't like current success. Liverpool are next door to you, but you give 'em nothing but an evil glare, for they are only there because they chase glory like John Hartson chases ice cream vans and you're a real fan.

You're American. You're proud to be American. You have red, white and blue blood running throughout your body. The white blood concerns you... The Yank's club of choice is Fulham. They're in London. They're rich. They have many-an-American. And, like you, their owner can't get a UK passport for love nor money.

Liverpool have won it five times. Yes, FIVE times. And, frankly, you're not strong-willed enough to possibly consider supporting a club where you cannot boast about supporting successes that are, indeed, the only reason you support them anyway to cover up the lack of personality that you actually have as a human being.

Manchester City are MASSIVE. Enough said, really.

Manchester United are actually massive. They're the best supported club in terms of quantity, if not quality, and all your friends support them, so why shouldn't you? Don't you trust the opinion of your friends? If you don't, then you should really find new friends. So support Man' U' or find new friends. Simple.

Middlesbrough fans are so hard that they can cut diamonds with their nipples, which are only themselves hard because they all walk around in December topless for absolutely no conceivable reason whatsoever. If you type 'Middlesbrough' into Microsoft Word, the spell checker recommends you change it to 'middles rough'. The place is that hard and as rough as a dog's backside. You're a man, right? You go to the gym to flex those muscles, right? You laugh at girlie-guys, yeah? Hell yeah, you do! You should support the 'Boro, you testosterone-filled fellow.

If you want to pretend that you belong to the self-proclaimed bestest of the super-best fans ever, then support Newcastle United. Your team's crap, but you stay loyal, because you're good fans that have forgotten how poor your crowds were fifteen years ago. Mass-amnesia is sometimes a good thing.

Portsmouth are on the up! Since joining the money-grabbing elite of the Premiership in '03 they have not looked backed, except for a couple of seasons of nearly being relegated, but whatever. Anyhow, now some Russian or some national of some former Soviet country has bought them, which, if my memory serves, is usually a good thing. They're pushing for Europe, they're rich and you can jump on the bandwagon before there is one. Surely a dream for any chap logically picking a team to illogically follow.

Reading are nicknamed the Royals. How cool is that? If your answer is 'not very' do not support this team because I cannot think of any other reason to do so.

Do you like hurting yourself? Is your ultimate fantasy being tied down to a bed whilst a leprechaun in leather repeatedly kicks you in the knackers? Do you want to support a team where if you combine their points total for their previous two seasons in the Premiership they'd have still been relegated both seasons? Then Sunderland is the team for you. Now you can sit amongst 30,000 fellow sado-masochists. Enjoy!

Tottenham Hotspur is a club based in the Tottenham area of London. Now, the 'London' part may be an attraction to your average North American. 'Oooo, easy to get to and enough attractions to spend a thoroughly enjoyable weekend', you may be saying to yourself. Well I've been to Tottenham and I can tell you straight up that it's the neighbourhood equivalent of being hit in the face with a brick. Mostly because you're likely to be hit in the face with a brick.

West Ham United have Elijah Wood as a hooligan and the oddness doesn't end there. The chairman is an egg with a body. Fans of the Twilight Zone will release sperm following this club.

The only reason to support Wigan Athletic would be if you love counting empty seats.

There you all go; now support whichever Premiership club you all desire. Or be cool and support a Championship side.

Cardiff City FC is dying on its arse in every possible sense.

No one bother supporting us (not that anyone ever would anyway!); we'd only end up crushing your soul beyond all recognition.

I watched Charlton pummel them from front row, center circle this weekend. Cardiff really lack creative attacking flair. Both Hasselbaink and Fowler are well and truly past it.

Credit to CCFCs fans, who travel very well and were very vocal until things fell apart in first half stoppage. You should have seen the police presence though! It makes one wonder how authorities would handle a Cardiff/Millwall FA Cup tie.

Hasselbaink and Fowler's legs are gone and they're each earning $32,000 every week, but what worries me more about those two signings is that our manager, Dave 'unsackable' Jones, met Fowler by chance on holiday in Florida this year and Hasselbaink rang up the club asking (begging) for a job! It's nice that we plan our transfers so fantastically.

Our chairman is off on a GB-wide tour of book shops promoting his book of excuses for how he pretty much destroyed Leeds United, the rest of the board of directors are rubbing their hands in glee over the many monies they'll make over the retail development being built alongside our new stadium and Ridsdale's bestest of best buddies, the manager, is continuing to write the world's longest list of excuses for us losing week-after-week for over a year, blaming anyone, everyone and anything but himself - in between insulting journalists in post-match interviews - safe in the knowledge that none of his bosses care enough about the actual football team to consider ripping-up his contract.

It's a fine situation for any club to be in.

Our fans just seem to drink enough to shout anti-English nonsense from the safety of being behind thousands of policemen.

When we play Millwall, Wolves, Bristol City, Leeds Utd, Swansea City, Birmingham City or anyone with a particularly nasty element to 'em, it's a 'bubble trip', meaning fans can only attend the away game on club coaches and are shipped in like cattle to the ground by the local coppers, watch us lose and then are shipped right back with a police escort taking us as far as Wales.

All that said and getting back to the thread's original topic; support us, for we are the greatest football team the world has ever seen!

I know I posted on here quite awhile ago, and I still ahven't been able to decide. But there are still to many to chose form.

Like I said earlier in the thread, I wanted a club with these things:
1.An american freindly place that is fun to visit.
2.A team with loyal fans.
3.Someone who plays attractive football

Thanks

I apologise for the length of my rant. In short 'tomwilhelm', yeah, we're bollocks. :)I got stuck with a herd of Bluebird fans at Anfield couple of weeks ago. They'd spent all day locked up in a bus drinking, they got crowded into a corner of Anfield where they were filmed and surrounded by police and still managed to have a fantastic time. We had a bloody good laugh 'with' them. A couple got tossed out but even the police felt sorry for them and let them back in, they probably needed someone to show them what bus they were on or they'd have been stuck in our fair city.....:)

After the match it was handshakes all around.

ThanksYou probably need Manure. Most american's who know nothing about the game go with them. In fact most anyone who know nothing about the game including manchester troglidites follow them.

If I were you I'd take a close look at Fulham, or come and lurk around our board for a while.

2.A team with loyal fans.Thu thick and thick, and we have pie and mash (I would add the best curry in England but then I would have to stop lying
3.Someone who plays attractive footballWe always do, even when it means we get screwed. Dammit we even pick the ball out of the net stylishly

Thanks

You need West Ham. Not just a team more of a sentence,. No one will acuse you of being a bandwagon jumper, but you never know, we might be going somewhere

Under no circumstances support Wednesday. No one does. really no one. at all. Not even in Sheffield
