[Tofufi]

[terrorbite]

Bury are in the Third Division at the moment.

But they have won the F.A. Cup don't ya know? And they hold the record for the biggest ever win.
6-0 against Derby County in 1903.

[AngryPaul]

Is that a record for the Final, cos I know some games that scored more than that in the FA Cup

Yeah, final sorry.

[prodigy69]

Scottish Premier League

C'mon the hoops!

Celtic for me :)

[NIGHTCOW]

Play up Pompey!! Pompey play up!!

Well we held the FA cup over the war years when it weren't played dontcha know??!!!

[plattbridger]

Wigan Athletic!!! Champions of Div 2 and masters of the 1st Division! :D

Granted people have wised up to us now so we are having a much harder time of it but we are still in the top 5 :D

Hopefully we wont get promoted because that would be disasterous. And the amazing thing is we signed on practically no one over the summer! And the one decent lad we did get (Horsfield) is on loan to West Brom!

This is very funny. You support Bristol City, oh and Manchester United for no reason...

I support
http://www.mcfc.co.uk/images/crest_orig.gif

A team which, while being crap at the moment, have pwn3d more divisions in English football than any other team!

[BFCA]

AFC Wimbledon, leaders and undefeated in the Seagrave Haulage Premier, no less

[junior]

scottish prem: C'MON THISTLE (PARTICK) if not them, then celtic

[streety]

I am a Liverpool supporter. Not playing the best of football at the moment... nevermind, getting Baros' autograph at the match on wednesday cheered me up.

[lemur]

Grimsby Town (birthplace) Tottenham Hotspur (lived in North London for 10 years) and Hibs (family from edinburgh) but i just used Grimsby :)

[Zin]

My nearest team:

Bournemouth - Division 2, around mid-table

[squealpiggy]

My nearest team is t'scum! But I have followed Man City for years, my dad was City, his dad was City... We were city supporters in my family since they were West Gorton St Marks.

[Panto]

Manchester United, but I do actually live quite near that really crappy stadium that the other team used to play at

Nowt wrong with the M word. It's the U word that is the clincher. The term most people prefer is t'Scum.

I should've made it more clear. The M word was Manchester United (Manure)... Aint got a problem with City. It is a haven for all our old players :D

This weekend was the first time Gary Neville got two cards on valentines day.

I'm sure his beloved David Beckham sent him one too

[squealpiggy]

Sven's first day as England Manager and someone has done a big poo on the pitch. Furious he yells "Hey! Who's shit on the ground!?". Emile Heskey puts his hand up sheepishly and says "Me boss, but I'm all right in the air".

OK so it isn't about divisions but I just wanted to tell that joke.

I don't know whether to applaude or go mental. I am still undecided about the big man.

[squealpiggy]

I think that he's rubbish. He's good for one thing and that's holding the ball up the field until someone with some skill gets there. And he even messes that up. I saw him dive in one game. Ridiculous.

He does go done a bit easy. The work that he puts in for the team is amazing! but that's what midfielders are for... The thing that most p*sses me off is the fact that he has all the attributes to make him a world class player but he doesn't use them. In another country without the dodgy English press he would be amazing. That's why Milan came in for him.

oh yeas my friend Leeds are going down-seen as their financial situation don't look 2 rosey they may go in admin next year and be deducted9 points (boo hoo)-s'pose i can't talk being a sunderand fan n all-

[Micky]

(Blackburn Rovers)

I still say Leeds won't go down - been saying it since the start of the season, they're still too good to go down.

My bet is it may well be the three newcomers that return to the first division.

As for the Manchester discussion - does anyone who supports United actually live in Manchester? ;)

[Dr S]

Its a well known fact they don't

I have a mate who lives in Bristol, was born in Germany, Has never been to Manchester, and I'd be very surprised if he even knows what Country Manchester is in. Guess what team he supports?

Manchester United. Fool.

(It's also actually possible to provoke tears from him the day after they lose a match. Had a lot of fun after Middlesborough. :) )

[Tommuz]

Eagles fan through and through. Nothing like a good roller coaster ride to get the old adrenaline pumping on match day :D

[elbillingino]

According to most polls, Manchester is red. About 52% of people interviewed in Manchester City Centre I think (not on a United matchday before you ask), compared to 25% City. Was an M.E.N. poll I think.

Also, MMU Cultural studies dept did a study, and you're more likely to be a United season ticket holder if you live within 20 miles of Manchester than you are to be a City season ticket holder.

My rant over, guess who I support :twisted:

You're more likely to be a season ticket holder becuase of the difference in capacity's. Don't get me wrong, the away Man United fans are ok (well bareable) but the home fans are exactly what Roy Keane described them as...
They are keeping touts afloat, a lot of fans go to games in suits and take clients to watch matches. They pay touts hundreds of pounds for tickets and go there not as a fan. It's cos' they're the biggest club in the country.
I think the chant "You're only here to do your shopping" sums it up nicely ;)

[squealpiggy]

Yeah but within 20 miles of Manchester you have Manchester City, Blackburn, Burnley, Bolton... United have more season tickets than any of those teams. I know a few reds that live in and are from Manchester, but it's fun to wind them up.

I think about the funniest thing about United is the whole Magnier thing: Man United, NOT FOR SALE! Erm... I say chaps, Manchester United is a Public Limited Company... so it is for sale...

Well yes, I don't think that it is literal lol. It just means the fans don't want it to be sold. Obviously we Utd fans have the knowledge it can be sold - as it could happen very soon. 'We don't want you to be sold' doesn't sound as good as 'not for sale'

Indeed they do, but it does dispel the myth that nearly all of them are from Surrey!!!!!

Whenever I see City on TV, COMS is full of gaping gaps. In 1974/75 season in the old div 2, Utd average 48,000 a match - 3000 more than Liverpool averaged at the time.

[squealpiggy]

MacManaman and Fowler are not a "team full". We have French, Irish, Chinese, Americans, Iclanders as well as mancunians and people from other parts of the UK. We're the most multicultural team in the Premier League (may not be true).

It's just funny to sing though lol.
Don't be so prickly.

Oh and Joey Barton.

I'm strugglin to think of too many local boys in the City team, sorry. Certainly not as many as Utd have ;)

I think he was referring to the fact that you have James, Anelka, Fowler, Macca and Keegan all there. All ex Liverpool players.

I think you are the most multiculteral team because you need all the help you can get.

Calgary?

[Wahoo]

My local Team is Aldershot, and they are in the conference atm, but they have been zooming up the tables, and are currently 3rd in the conference.

Aldershot used to be in the premier league, back when we had the army playing for our squad :). Which is why most of these people were doing so well in the war days, cause we lost our army, and went down :(

Trevor Sinclair is a Manchester lad in fact he used to go to a school which is quite close to where I live.

I used to support united (I'm a manc through and through) now I don't support anyone cept ROI got pissed off with all football and stopped watchin it

Hurrah - some Conference rivalry! I feel Barnet and Aldershot will meet in the play offs. I hope so anyway, as I live close to Aldershot. Though if Barnet win the league I get £20, as well as having the joy of seeing their league status rightfully returned! Bargain.

I know that they have a lot of ex liverpoo players including Keggo who is unbelievably entertaining to watch. He's so passionate about the game and it really shows in every interview and every match. Brilliant. You know he's just dying to get changed and get on the pitch!

But yes you're right we need all the help we can get. Or rather we need all the luck we can get. Every single game I have seen of late barring maybe two or three has been completely one sided in favour of City but with bad luck and poor finishing keeping down the score line. It's gutting as a fan. Stupid gypsy curse.

[seaempty]

Is it just me, or does every new ground have a gypsy curse?

[squealpiggy]

Every new ground that City have has a gypsy curse. Stoopid gypsies.

[AngryPaul]

St Mary's seemed to start very well

Maybe its just the Blu Camp

and hopefull Cash-burnin (Ashburton) Grove when its built for the Arse :D

[seaempty]

There was a curse at St mary's - apparently the people who built it were from portsmouth, and they buried a POmpey shirt under it. They lost quite a few of their first games (obviously due to this and not Stuart Gray). Rupert Lowe had to come in and get some witch to lift the curse.

I live in Southampton, and have a soft spot for the team (grandfather supported them), so I'd like to add - Nightcow - 2-0 and 3-0 this season :D

[TheWuu]

I support the toon :)
Unfortunatly I dont think we can manage to finish in 4th spot esp. after selling Nobby Solano :(

[AngryPaul]

I dont think he was that influential to your side, but was a good replacement for anyone who was. Robert has the ability to keep you near the top 4 for a good while.

[Charter Coaches]

Football is like rape. No one wants it, but there are some out there who insist on doing it. Sometimes they keep themselves to themselves, but most of the time the do it to you.

[TheWuu]

Hes too inconsistent (spelling?) for my likeing:(
I hope Bowyer and Jenas show their best form again, thats a midfield partnership that could about 20+ goals a season!

I also like you

[AngryPaul]

I dont like Leeds but think they alo are too good to go down - they have top internationals like Harte, Smith, Viduka, Robinson, I just think the loan signings and moral have not helped them at all this season

Good locuk Leeds United! :D

[Maximuz]

well, i like rugby better, and my footie team has been going downhill ever since the new manager came in but what the hell:

C'MON ABERDEEN!! WOO AND YAY!! YOU RULE! (not really)


Bring back Alex Ferguson I say!

also, anyone remember Gothenberg '83? ;)

[AngryPaul]

lol - Cup Winners Cup wasnt it?
