Disco Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Used to like Carlisle and went to a few games when I was younger. Soon changed my opinion when I went over for the Fat Sam friendly. Bunch of fucking neanderthals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not exactly sure how you have a soft spot for clubs abroad. They can have nice kits and class players and fans but I don't know whether a 'soft spot' is the word I would use...all a bit too...foreign to me like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperShola! Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 In England... Leeds Forest....Family in Nottingham Ipswich Fulham Scotland... Celtic France... PSG Holland... Ajax Germany... Bayern Portugal... Sporting Italy... Juventus Always had a soft spot for Juventus. First time I really took an interest in them was when they got relegated for match fixing or something along those lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best years of my life. Went to a few games there too and I appreciated the passion the Bordelais had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I suppose if you have some sort of affinity it's different. Much like being a 2nd generation Geordie from the midlands. I like Leicester because I live here and the majority of the city follows the club. Went to a few games at the Sheffield clubs when I was there. Not sure how you can have a 'soft spot' in every European league. If people do fair enough I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merseyside Mag Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not really a soft spot, but ever since their Title winning side, and that superb turn around against Milan in the champions league. I always look out for the Deportivo results come the sunday/monday papers. Pity whats happened to them now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Leyton Orient, were my 'local' team when growing up. Used to be able to get a season ticket for a fucking tenner! Costs about £18 for one game now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Recoba Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Internazionale. Ronaldo made me a fan. Always reminded me of Newcastle (Hall/Shepherd era) in spending shitloads and getting nowhere. Loved Ronaldo, Recoba, Vieri, Adriano. Martins and Kallon too, what a strike pairing! We have signed a few off them in Pistone, Emre, Martins and now Santon. Almost Coco too! Juve and Milan were like the Man U or Chelsea when I was growing up. Juve I kind of liked as a kid because they had a cool kit (black and white Sony Minidisc) and players like Del Piero and Davids, but the Calciopoli and, as I got older, realising they have shit support turned me against them. Both Rome teams are fascist. Fiorentina and Parma I kind of liked but Inter were always for me. Been to see PSG a few times, another club we have regularly purchased from, but don't love them as much as Inter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers (only for the pro-Britannia-ness) France... Marseille (Went when we played them and f***ing loved it) Holland... PSV - Seem to remember us playing them quite a bit in the 90's and 00's.

Superior Acuña Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 By no means calling these second teams or anything, but: Plymouth for that day. Huddesfield - for Lee Clarke Everton - only long-term prem team i've not grown to hate. Just like them as a club - stadium, fans, Moyes. Maybe partly because it was my first away game, aged 6. Forres Mechanics (highland league, where dad is from) Hibs (lived in Edinburgh for 4 years) Heerenveen - went to the away game there. Were proper lovely. Deportes La Serena (Chile) - recently moved to La Serena and been to game. Reckon I'll go to all their home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Berwick Rangers as im from Berwick and watch them when I can, and Darlington as I was at college there. Not as interesting since they left Feethams though. Not really that arsed about anyone else. Juve maybe because of their black and whiteness and them beating Kiev to help us qualify in the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Fulham, and ever so slightly Chelsea, West Ham and Charlton, purely because my mam is an east-end girl and has family scattered all over London. Most other parts of my family support one of those clubs and in fairness they themselves have a spot for Newcastle. It provides a bit of patter at tedious and awkward family gatherings. I usually keep an eye out for the results of teams mates from uni support and don't particularly hate any of those teams, Norwich, Sheff Wed, Crewe, Portsmouth. Foreign teams:- Juventus, Malaga (went on hol there in 2004 when they were shite and bought a shirt. The locals in bars loved that I'd not bought a Barca/Real shirt like most other tourists), Hansa Rostock, Ajax, Bordeaux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I Like Plymouth for that day, shame to see whats happening to them. Doncaster because I have family there, shame to see whats happening to them. Queen of the south because I once stayed the night there and the local barman told me tales about the club and revealed that he once played for them, his son did at the time, and his own father played for them. When my dad went back there he gave him a signed book to give to me. Shame to see whats happening to them. Whitley Bay, local non league team, shame to see whats happening to them (missing out on promotion time after time). North Shields, local non league team, shame to see whats happening to them (their shit). Rangers, don't know why, everyone's got to have a preferred Old firm team I suppose, shame to see whats happening to them (almost going bust, some horrible fan). Toronto FC, I have family in Canada plus their own NUFC connections, shame to see whats happening to them (shit team). NUFC, the team from my own city, my footballing heart, shame to see whats............... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
