Teams that you have a soft spot for and why?



AFC Wimbledon-For Never Saying Die

Dulwich Hamlet-We (Worthing) always play them in supporters games home and away each year. One of those great relatrionships between fans of two clubs-is also a good away day!!

Queens Park-Was part of the Worthing Supporters Side that played in their tournament at Lesser Hampden Park in June-Good club that still holds the traditions of amateurism and a lot of history!

West Brom - lived a mile away from The Hawthorns as a student.
Hibs - enjoyed going there once.
Watford - my local club as a teenager.
Nimes Olympique - my fave foreign club.
Athletic Bilbao - their Basque only policy is an anachronism in modern football. Plus they always have a beast of a centre-half.

West, West, West Sussex.
Aldershot.

Felt for the fans when the club folded and got relegated five divisions. Plus what a great day when we thumped them in the FA cup(2000/01)....it's still their record attendance (7,500).

Arsenal - whole family supports them, I am the black sheep!
AC Milan - great side in the early 90's, and I always remember watching Argentina vs Cameroon at the San Siro in Italia 90 and being completely blown away by the stadium
Deportivo Wanka - Peruvian club for no other reason aside from its name!

Chelsea, as my Uncle used to play for them, and they have been in my life for the last 40 years. But when they play the Albion, it has and always would be Albion all the way.
Huddersfield, as my Mrs is from there and I find their fans very much like ours, in the respect that they have much bigger clubs a short train ride away. ie both Manchester clubs, Leeds and up until recently both Sheffield clubs.

Arsenal - Grandad supported them and Thierry Henry + the 03/04 team = legends!
Fulham - Always liked them. maybe because i hate Chelsea so much and fulham are their closest rivals. + Zamora plays for them.
Real Madrid - they really are big time. and their stadium is incredible!
AFC Wimbledon - for what they have been through and how they survived. brilliant story!

and for some reason i'm starting to like Napoli this season. Cavani and Levezzi are real talents!

Ipswich Town - always had a soft spot for them because of the great football they played under Bobby Robson, John Lyall and George Burley. Plus they have a high quota of really pleasant fans.

Another one for the Town. Lived in Suffolk for nearly 30 years and it was a delight to watch the Robson era of football. Always been a nicely run club and their fans are very like ours. Quietly passionate.

Norwich. My late dad's team. They have a female chairperson who gets pissed and lairy on the pitch. Lovely Stephen Fry supports them. Nice ground and nice pies. Like the green and yellow strip. And Elliott's there.

QPR - my dads team always been interested in them, doing well for themselves at the moment.
Arsenal - I love the way they play football, but are very frustrating to watch.
VFB Stuttgart - I have friends from there and they have a good football team.
