Esmond Million's Bung Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 My local French ligue 1 side is FC Lorient and they are having the best season in their history in the top flight, I am watching them live on TV at Lille as I type this post and they are 4-0 down in 34 minutes football sucks sometimes.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 My second team is The Green Bay Packers, the other club I own shares in! Yes life sucks right now, however I resigned myself to relegation under McInness so its a little less painful than it might have been!! It should suck every season for the Cheeseheads DA BEARS!!

Red Homer Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 My second team is the NY Knicks, on a 10 game winning streak at the moment, tipping off very shortly against the Thunder. Don't get having two football teams. I am a City fan, I look out for the Arsenal scores but I'm not a Gooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_red Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I might be wrong, but it sounds like you're having a pop at those with a second team, like you hurt more than they do, your support is more pure, etc. I shouldn't really weigh in, because I don't really have a second team, but why would it matter if i did? it doesn't make city's decline any easier to swallow, and i'm sure those with a 'second team' limit their support to watching whoever on sky, and maybe the odd live match every couple of seasons. That's why it's a second team, not a first team. More importantly, I'm sure they'd trade in any success their 'second team' is enjoying for a successful relegation battle at AG. Not really seeing the relevance of this thread or the point you're making. If I'm wrong, then hey, no offence meant, it's just sounds like a bit of a confrontational way of asking people who else they might lend support to....

Taylor10 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 City and England all the way for me I'm afraid....sorry to disappoint.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 My second team IS Bristol City. Lived in BS3 for 4 years and had a ST for 3. My local team. And before you tear me a new one I've done 7 away games (without a win) this season. So I've done my fair share for this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 My second team is from where I was born, and my third team is where me family is from, being Cork City and Werder Bremen respectively, tho, Bremen more so than Cork, but City all the way for me been ST holder for 9 years, Im 17 and lived in Bristol for 12. On a related note 'kommen der Werderaner!', btw some decent youth we could loan next season as well *nods to self*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayOutWest Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I might be wrong, but it sounds like you're having a pop at those with a second team, like you hurt more than they do, your support is more pure, etc. You are not wrong. Thats who I am having a pop at. But I am not sure they do hurt more than me, because they have another. Which in truth cannot be as bad as Bristol City. Therefore, if you do have a second team, which is more successful then ours ie Bristol City, then it cant be as bad as feel, because your other team might lift your mood. However, for me its heavy red wine and Son House........ google Son House , he is awesome, plus he is a mood summer uppper Stevo PS I recommend John The Revelator..........Brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grove park city Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Can watch TV league football and enjoy a decent match but there is only 1 team BRISTOL CITY FC that matters and to watch the current shambles really is bitterly disappointing and that's being polite. Never really understood the supporting a 2nd team thing i don't care 2mins after who has lost or won England,the Gas,Bardiff the thought of league 1 football next season is sickening ... England winning 3 straight World cups wouldn't replace City winning the FA cup once for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point what a heap of do'do Kaka and brownstuff this season has been . If City were a horse the final shot would have been applied after the Wolves home match.

dezgimed Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 From my experience, everyone I know who 'supports' 2 teams, goes to Ashton Gate and is a City fan when we're doing well, and then when we're not, they dont attend and revert to 'City are shit', and watch Man Utd on TV as their second team etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperor Palpatine Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yes and when was the last time 'Da Bears' beat Green Bay! Its been so long no one remembers!! Hey Ho! Urlacher signing for Green Bay should really get it going for next season... 2010 actually, although we shouldve won the NFC Championship game against the Cheeseheads if not due to Jay Cutlers injury... Fact is H2H still favours the Bears to. Urlacher would never join GB as he is a Bear at heart and of course, a total legend! Deserved much better treatement than what he got from Emery and McCaskey. Being as he is an elder statesman now with many injuries and ops behind him, he would do well at a lesser team like the Vikings or Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless you SVR. 2010...So three years, five match's and an NFC Title decider... Yes we will see regarding Urlacher...Bear at heart maybe but awful treatment from the club who he has held together for Lovie Smith, which is probably why he is out on his ass without ceremony! Not sign for Green Bay perhaps not! But Pat Jennings signed for Arsenal so dont rule it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
