I'm a masochist. So, obviously I support Arsenal.

Liverpool here! Let's hope for a better season this time around. 🤞

My heart beats for Werder Bremen but I'm also a season ticket holder at my local club FC Gütersloh. They just won the Westphalia Double: Oberliga Westfalen (5th tier) and the Westfalenpokal (weich qualifizierte for the DFB Pokal). It has been a surreal year after two decades of misery.

Congrats! The lower league struggle is real

[–] RamesesKnibs 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I grew up in the 90s in the South West of England so I'm naturally a Manchester United fan ;)

Also a season ticket hold for my local team in Wales which is a great fun

Arsenal. You lot really want Sambi Lokonga?

[–] brawleryukon 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As a fellow Gooner, it's pretty clear Sambi's got loads of potential, he just is not far enough along developing it to be immediately useful to the process. Especially after this season just ended, where we're that much further ahead of where we thought we'd be - we just can't be spending the minutes on developing a player like that. Burnley under Kompany would be great for him, I think.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

He definitely fits the profile of players we are looking for. That said, if the deal isn't right Kompany isn't one to stay in a protracted transfer negotiation for long. He'll have other irons in the fire.

Can only loan two players from other PL sides so it will have to be just right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fuck knows. We've been linked with approximately 5 billion players already this summer.

Liverpool and Falmouth Town (Step 5)

Born in Lancashire of a Scouse mother, with scouse parents, so was put in a red shirt when i was a bairn and that was that. Been a red for many decades now..

Falmouth, we moved to when I was about 13, and the bulk of my late teens and early 20's was spent following Falmouth up and down the South West. Now 400 miles away, but still keep in touch with their results every week. Finally back in the Western League after having to drop down in the 70's because of the travel cost.

Also keep an eye on Daggers results. We moved to London when I was about 3 and Leytonstone was the nearest football club. They merged with Ilford FC, they in turn became Redbridge Forest, and in turn merged with Dagenham. For a similar reason have a soft spot for the O's, and cheered on the Hammers in Europe last year as long as we arent in the same competition. Virtually all my friends as a kid were West Ham fans.

[–] Strae 6 points 2 years ago

I'm ostensibly a Watford fan, having lived near there as a kid before moving to the States, but I don't really support any particular team. I kinda pick new stories each year that I like to follow. I realize this is probably a strange way to watch football, but it works for me.

[–] westexasman 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Leeds United here.

FC Cincinnati if we're going beyond EPL.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ah I hadn't even thought to name teams from other leagues.

I have a soft spot for Seattle Sounders ever since picking them as my team for a fifa tournament many years ago. My mate bought me a Sounders shirt with Dempsey on the back after I scored a wonder goal with him.

Similarly, got a soft spot (and replica shirt) for Chievo Verona after playing as them for on LMA Manager (remember that?).

LAFC, Tottenham.

It's really too bad neither have communities here.

Aston Villa!

supporting them since 2008ish from the US. They had a player that went to UNC on their squad (Eric Lichaj) when i was picking a premier league team and ive stuck with em through relegation and promotion. Been a wild and fun ride

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Because life hates me, I support CD Feirense, and FC Porto, both from Portugal, both in a sorry state due to the boards being greedy cunts.

At least the Portuguese NT got rid of Fernando Santos, I guess

Liverpool, from afar. Been supporting them from Australia since Kewell's short stint twenty years ago.

Currently tossing up whether to go over to Singapore again for the two friendlies that are coming up... trying to convince myself that it makes any kind of economic sense!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Chelsea 🔵

Hard times...
