A colleague of mine and I were discussing football the other day and decided that we wanted to start following a Championship side. He's a Fulham supporter and I support Spurs. I guess we're looking for a Championship side that mimics those two clubs. We had settled on QPR before the season ended up now that they're being promoted we'll look to follow another side. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
No point choosing Palace if you want a club that mimics Spurs and Fulham. Palace are way too much fun...

Come support the team that will break your heart annually and make you come back for more every August. We'll change our name to Nottinghammer Wald in your honour.
Haha...that's funny. Just to give you an idea of how we lean...in addition to supporting Dortmund, I root for St. Pauli's for fun. I just like what they're all about as a club.
I like St Pauli too. That is a very unique club. Congrats to BVB, what a season. A good friend of mine lives near Dortmund in Hagen, but unfortunately for him, he supports Monchengladbach. I always enjoy watching the Bundesliga. Outstanding football.
Thanks. I must admit I didn't see a lot of games this season. I get FSC but watched mostly Spurs and occasionally Dortmund when they were on. I suspect they'll be on more next year, especially having qualified for Champions League. That will be fun.
Leeds United all the way. I've been supporting them for a little over two years now. They've got so much history, they've got talent, great and bloodthirsty fans, and an ambitious board who want to return to their hey days in the 70s and late 90s. I've found the club so extremely likeable from simply watching home games at Elland Road where the crowd nearly cries at every goal their team scores. I saw that and myself wanted to mimic that passion.
It's basically a very ambitious club with a lot of talent and fan passion. They were down 3-0 today and their fans were still in the stands singing loud
Well maybe they're ambitious but they're frugal. I mean the board room has its sights set on being promoted to the premier league meaning they provide the funds to get top players.
I think if professional leagues realized how much video games acted like a gateway to fandom, they'd use them less as a cash cow and more as a marketing tool. I've got more than a passing interest in Red Star 93 due to Football Manager 2010. And the answer to your question is Cardiff City. If you're not an Englishman, why root for an English team?
Do what you want, fella. Though I'd suggest Canadian MLS fans should plump for us if they'd otherwise miss the sensation of being consistently told to "piss off to your own league".
