    I think the PL has ruined football for a lot of fans. The relentless coverage and every **** having an opinion does my head in.

    I think for me it is just a pointless league for 14 teams. Everyone's first priority is to stay up and then anything else is a bonus. Kind of hard to get excited about finishing 7th. I really enjoyed our League One days and the season in the Championship when Saints got promoted, first few seasons in the PL I enjoyed as well, until Poch left and losing 5 players that summer. That is when I think I stopped caring. We have had some good seasons since under Koeman, but I wasn't that bothered then. Maybe I am just a glory fan who picked the wrong club.

    The NFL is my favourite sport now, and I think that is all down to competitiveness and how every team has a realistic chance of winning the Superbowl

    A 12 page pull out Sunday supplement when United lost a game under Fergie was equally tedious.

    You're thinking of Piskie. It takes him two hours to get to his local pub.

    it's not a pub, he goes to a bottle bank to get the discarded dregs from beer bottles.

    I live 10 mins from the Bridge, and was born and bred in West London surrounded by 4 clubs.

    Fulham has always been my second team, I go to Rangers occasionally for fun.

    But I see the Bees more often than the Rss or Whites as it is next to my daughter's school. We take the kids there a couple of times a year

    If you ask @Matth_2014 along, he could bring his wasps and you could have a stripey picnic party ... no need for catering as wasps tend to find their own food at picnics <cheers>

    Sheff Utd for me, lived on Bramall Lane at uni and live round here now. Way great knocking them out of both cups last season though! There are no non-league teams of note round here or from the area of Leicestershire I am from. I watched Stamford Town a bit when I was a there on my uni placement. They got promoted that year. Real football that!

    I always have and will follow and hope to see again my home town club Spennymoor Town, they went bust a few years ago as Spennymoor United but have come back strong with new investment and a relaunch of name, 2 leagues down from division 2.

    Stranraer is my other club, used to have an active financial involvement but not any more, super little Scottish club in every way.. <ok>

    Doubt I'll ever be a part of the green army mate, I'll always be a Chelsea boy.

    That's good because there's a new team in town called the London Roosters and the stadium is almost finished .

    I'm an Arsenal fan, but also have very passionate feelings for the spuds.

  20. I feel the same about Liverpool, Palace, Bournemouth and, if I can ever get the enthusiasm, Luton Town
