WILCOCK Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Personally I think its sad.Whats drives people support an English team? is it Aberdeen's lack of success that people should hunt for glory elsewhere?How do you decide which team you support? Link to comment

paulkaneatemyhamster Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I don't think you can "Support" two teams. Sure , have a admiratation, soft spot or whatever, but to activly support two teams, to go through the same emotions caused by 2 teams, i dunno. just can't dig it. Scotland are like my mum, Aberdeen are my wife... anything else is just flirtation or eyeing up. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I've supported Crewe Alexandra since before I was born. Dario Gradi is god. Link to comment

I can understand people having a soft spot for other teams but for me it's one club side and your country, no one else really matters. Link to comment
fatshaft Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Because I lived in England for a number of years, and went to see Bolton & Warrington Town. Now I'm back home again, I keep an eye out for the scores, and will try to watch a game if it's on TV, but don't get particularly worked up about it anymore. Link to comment

Probably helps that Bolton are going down yea? Link to comment
OddJob Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I support Man United, but you'd probably have guessed that anyways. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I support Man United, but you'd probably have guessed that anyways. Man United Never Intended Coming Home. Link to comment
Ando Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Agree 100%. I can understand people having a soft spot for other teams but for me it's one club side and your country, no one else really matters. You of all people should have the right to support two teams. Link to comment
redsector Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I was born in Middlesbrough, and moved up here when I was 7. Go to the odd boro game. Been to going to watch the Dons since i was 15. Now 42 Link to comment
WILCOCK Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I see that some people will have genuine reasons to support english clubs but the way some people just tie themselves to a big english club as soon as some money is injected into them or they win something is pretty disgusting.

Dynamo Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Shocking attitude towards my English team. Country roads and all that. No doubt you started supporting them around 1995...because of Fergie though eh? Link to comment
bonzodaddy73 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I support who ever is on my coupon that particular day. Link to comment
fatshaft Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Probably helps that Bolton are going down yea? Not really, I kicked every ball during the Calderwood-esque Megson years, but as soon as I moved back last November my interest waned to such an extent that by the time of the FA cup semi, the loss was of little interest.

Tommy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Na, not the Fergie connection for me. It was purely down to the fact they won the treble in 1999. Nothing more, nothing less. Me n my mate minj were chewin the fat and always thought you were a closet manc. Link to comment

Now 42 I'm proud of you, lad. I see that some people will have genuine reasons to support english clubs but the way some people just tie themselves to a big english club as soon as some money is injected into them or they win something is pretty disgusting. This is still absolute horse-shit. Link to comment
360 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The fact is, whether WIL"COCK" likes it or not. A few of us may have leanings towards ENGLISH teams or not. I don't know what it is. But, I can smell a hint of desperation in the air. "ROBERTO YOU GLORY HUNTING BASTARD"! X OMG some fellow Dandies may have born into support some equally shit teams! But they're ENGLISH! YOU FUCKING GLORY HUNTER!!! Link to comment

Henry Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I know only a few lads who have an english team and its either Man Utd or Liverpool. I touched on this in Tup's corner thread, you never seem to get Scottish fans of properly shit teams - Bury, Bristol City and the like. Strange. Link to comment

Strange. I know, they've won the same amount of European Cups as Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 What posesses people to support an English team? TV coverage. My nephew, 10 years old, used to support Blackburn (and Aberdeen obviously) because his dad is from there, which is fair enough. Then he started supporting Manchester United....now he "supports" Manchester City. He says it's because they have the best players...and to be fair to him, as a kid you look upto the best players. (for the record, i've told him he's a glory hunter...it's my duty!) Without my influence, he could easily have become a Rangers fan as he has a few friends who support them. I know it's crossed his mind to support them, but me and my dad have pretty much verbally beat that out of him! No member of my family will support the huns if I can help it! Anyways, you go into the pubs and all you ever see is EPL games. It's no wonder there are so many people picking a "favourite" team to "support" when having a few pints and giving the game(s) a bit of meaning. I don't support any English teams. Link to comment
Coopy100 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I support Tamworth. Have a strip and everything. COOOOOOOOOOOME ON YOU LAMBS! Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 been a west ham supported since 1980, when I watched the highlights of the "cockney cup final" between arsenal west ham.... I take at least 1 or 2 trips a season to watch them Link to comment
GK55 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Man United and West Ham for me. I have 2 Try and get to a few games a season. But Aberdeen are my 'team'. Off to Upton Park end of October v Leicester. Link to comment
tup Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Fuck England, fuck their teams, and fuck cunts from Scotland who associate themselves with them. I wish nothing but misfortune on each and every one of them, they're utter cunts to a man, I canna think of one Englishman who I've time for. Link to comment
