cidercity1987 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Arsenal due to Bergkamp, what an idol. I'd love to play them and smash them in the Cup Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Arsenal...loved the George graham 1-0 to the arsenal team with Adams/merson/Wright etc...then their teams between 1999-2004 were the best to watch with Henry and bergkamp at the forefront.

Mad Cyril Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 20 years ago I had a dirty affair with Harchester United. Why the hell we never tried to sign Karl Fletcher I will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 As a kid in the 80's I had a thing for Tottenham. A really great side. I always had a soft spot for Coventry (before I even knew about the City connection) and still look out for their score. The 1987 FA Cup final was outstanding. Finally a Northern Irish mate of mine when I was in the Navy was a huge Coleraine fan so I always look for their result in the Sunday papers.

Early 70’s Leeds (I know) supporter, Peter Lorimer my favourite player and he came from Dundee. Then 19th Feb 74 happened..... Casual, but once had a scarf !

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. Same. Dad was a Tottenham fan, and that was the first Tottenham team I remember. Wonderful side Make no mistake though, I'd want us to ******* hammer them should we ever cross paths Non league it's Hereford, all Dad's side of the family are Hereford, and Gloucester City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben4BCFC Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 A good mate of mine is a die hard Swansea fan; and over the past few years that we've known each other, I've grown to be pretty fond of them. It helps that his hatred for Cardiff is as strong as mine, and in turn, he has developed a love for us and a pretty strong dislike for the G*s. Tammy being there was a nice bonus too, and they're actually one of the few teams that got promoted from the Championship that I had no gripes with. Some of the best football I've seen from a league rival played at AG the year they went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS10 RED Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Always liked Manchester Reds as kid as it was either them or Arsenal who everyone liked in school. Had posters on bedroom wall new shirt every season etc... Then in my teenage years started to like Liverpool due to my mums new husband being from there.

ChippenhamRed Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Swansea for me. Lived there for 3 years (uni) when they were at their lowest ebb and still at the Vetch. Student tickets were a fiver so I went every game. I witnessed the Tony Petty affair first-hand - an Australian businessman who came in and tried to sack all the players. He unexpectedly showed up at a game and I’ve never seen such vitriol at a football match. Then I was there when they beat Hull 4-2 on the final day of the season to save their football league status, an unbelievable game. They were truly dreadful team but the fans were great. It’s been fantastic seeing their rise through the leagues. I went to the Liberty for the first time when they played us (0-0, not the infamous one!) and the club was unrecognisable, in the best way. It also means I hate Cardiff (swim away!) twice as much as the rest of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Part Italian, so quite fond of Napoli. In case anyone thinks bandwagon jumper, first noticed them as a rising side in 2010/11 before they became a 'hipster football' side so yeah. Went to a Roma game in August when on holiday out there and had a good time so I guess I'll keep an eye on their results. However Napoli it is as my 2nd side...

There's always elements of that mind whatever club you go to, still maintain that I've never had any bother off anyone in Dundee. What year was that?

TV Tom Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Leeds had a big, big following in Bristol during the 70’s, it’s many a City’s fan second team, personally i’ve never been bothered about any other team but did enjoy Clough’s Forest rip it up in the late 70’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Family in Ipswich & Soton, so I have a passing interest in their results. Due to some happy holidays, I also look out for Lowestoft in the Isthmian League. Having lived in Peterborough longer than I did in Bristol (sob), I look out for the results of PUFC.
