Football Teams - Who do you support?


So what football teams do you all support? I mainly support Arsenal, but I also like Manchester City and Liverpool. I tend to support teams that have players that I like, but I support Arsenal no matter what - - great name, great logo, great kit, great stadium. This year they're getting no respect from the so-called experts even though they continue to win and stay on top of the Premier League table.

Really, why is that?

You can only have ONE football team, you can change jobs change your name change your wife but you can't change your football team !!!!!!!!

Too too true - you can change your religion, change your husband, change your gender, but you can't change your football team. Come hell or high water!

Point taken. I'm American so I don't have the geographical allegiance to a football team that most English fans do. After watching many Premier League matches, I picked Arsenal as my team based on the factors I mentioned in my OP. It was enjoyable watching them win the FA Cup last Saturday.

I didn't change my team, I just said that I liked other teams as well. I guess that is a sacrilege if you are an English football supporter.

You are right HellaciousWonTon, it IS a sacrilege if you're an British football supporter. Footie fans tend to be rather tribal. However, you cannot be expected to know that as you're from across the pond.
Enjoy Arsenal's success U.S. dude!

Thanks! Hey, at least I didn't say that I liked both Liverpool AND Everton. :)

It's the same for me. I have no geographical, blood allegiance to a football team. I follow Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle, but Liverpool is my favorite team, and when any of the others I mention go up against them, I support it. I get to watch and enjoy more matches that way. I do get what others have said about supporting more than one team, though, especially ones from the same region.

You'll never walk alone.
