Major Isewater Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 We all know that there is only one big love in our hearts , the mighty Reds, but which club do you have a soft spot for as a secondary interest ? Topically mine was Man City , the team of the late sixties and seventies that featured the majestic Colin Bell in midfield, giant Joe Corrigan in goal , mike Summerbee , Franny Lee and Rodney Marsh amongst others . They played flowing football with panache, determination and courage. I loved watching that team . My interest in them died off in the eighties .

Bar BS3 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 In the past, as a child I always had the Liverpool kit and followed them, until actually going to watch City stole my heart. Sonce then I’ve had a soft spot for Chelsea in the pre money era, because I had a few Chelsea mates. The Ex’s family were West Ham, so I followed their results for a few years. The only consistent “2nd team” for me has been whoever Man United are playing against that week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeyed Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Up until the 2006 I was a season ticket holder at Newcastle before I moved down here - so my obvious choice would be them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDLEE Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 My Gran was originally from Nottingham, so as I kid we always looked out for both Forest and Countys results. That was a time when Forest were a great side. Over the years though, I've been more interested in Notts as we play Forest a lot. And County's FA Cup win over the blue few gave me even more reason to smile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Never had a ‘mistress’ club in the league, but non-league is different. For me it’s Melksham Town where I grew up. However, when I lived in Plymouth I used to watch Saltash United (go Ashes) a lot, and when living in the North East it was Bishop Auckland (the only club I have ever supported who play in blue).

SARJ Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ajax. Went to Holland and watched them play NEC. Great stadium, friendly people, beers in the supporters club with Dutch pop music, what's not to like. Since then always keep an eye on their results and follow them on Insta/Social Media.

Fordy62 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I’ve always detested Manchester. So in their dominant era I always wanted Arsenal to beat them. Wenger has always played good football so I sort of prefer that they win. What’s happening now is very sad for Wenger’s legacy. I hope that if they decide to give him the bullet, they let him do it. He deserves at least that. They have a new stadium thanks to him. I’ve always liked Plucky Cheltenham too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 In-laws in France are all Lyon supporters so it's OL for me. Keep an eye on results and catch the odd game but impossible to care anywhere near as much as i do for this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I go and watch Tottenham when City are away/not playing a few times a season. Lineker and Gazza were childhood hero's so I've followed them ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Growing up in the 60' and 70's I was always in awe of Don Revie's Leeds United. Every player was a home international and most of them liked a tackle or two. They played for the shirt back then. Just don't mention 1974.

Port Said Red Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I think a lot of people my age had/have a soft spot for Liverpool, seeing them in europe on free to air tv all the time helped. Personally I loved the Tottenham team around that time, Glenn Hoddle was my favourite play and then they signed Ardiles and Ricardo Villa, they were just great to watch much like now.

brad blit Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Juventus! Football Italia was my fave programme at the time, I loved their kit and the front three of Ravanelli, Vialli and some young kid called Del Piers was amazing to watch. I’m going to watch them for first time in Feb and I can’t wait, Away at Fiorentina is a huge game, just a shame that Buffon is injured so I won’t see him before he retires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your week away with the mistress look really good on paper and fill you with excitement, only for you to fly home very early because it's all gone tits up?

poland_exile Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Legia Warsaw are my local team so I go to watch them often; that said, I don't really like them If I were to name a 'second' club to City it'd be Motor Lublin who I get down to watch five or six times a season - eight quid for VIP seats and as much booze as you can nail!

Red7 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Liverpool - from formative years due to parents and grandparents being from red half of the city. Halifax Town - again due to parents and grandparents - used to watch them a fair bit when I lived in Yorkshire. When Wayne Allison played for them. Nantes - had a season ticket there while living in France. FGR - local lower-league club. My lad has always liked watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
