    I'm guessing most of the people on here's first team are either Swansea, or Cardiff. But is there a specific team you keep an eye on and watch a few games when you can?

    I'd say that my second team is Fluminense, I love the Brazillian league and I watch as many matches as I can, but I've always enjoyed watching Fluminense play.

    I sometimes check how Den Haag are doing aswell

    Anyone else have a 2nd team?

    Well I try and catch some streams of Dynamo Kyiv, I lived there for over 4 years and seen them play about a 100 times, seen most large european clubs there in the champions league, and they are definitely a great side, I have no others I really follow, well except Mk Dons because everyone else hates them, and that is for me a good reason ;)

    Arsenal and Barcelona. Used to watch the gunners regularly when I lived in London. Swans v Arsenal cup tie was the first match I saw at the Vetch. I watch Barcelona on tv regularly and I've seen them a couple of times at Camp Nou.

    All the welsh teams of course. Den Haag, Doncaster, Yeovil, Crewe (all for footballing reasons); FC Midtjylland, CD Ourense, Atalanta (For Football Manager reasons)

    Norwich for me. I've lived there for the last 25 years so they should probably be my first team really (left Swansea when I was young, but once a jack always a jack!) It made for some interesting times last year...I was going to be happy as long as one of my teams went up and Cardiff didn't. To have both get promoted means I've been walking in dreamland ever since :)

    I always keep an eye out for Spurs, but to be honest as the Swans have risen the less I look out for the results. It was purely because back in the day TV coverage of the Swans was both minimal, and ****... so as a kid you pick a team to root for on MOTD!

    I go to Fratton Park a fair bit to watch Pompey, as I live next to Fratton park. Love the fact they have a proper old stadium, and the Pompey fans are a top bunch of supporters. Can't get behind them in the same way as the Swans though!

    I keep my eye out for Wrexham and Newport in the hope that league football is not to far away....and i have a soft spot for Las Palmas de Gran canaria as a good friend of mine Dave "The Rave" McConnell used to turn out for them about 15 years ago along with Kenny Sansom who then run a bar in Puerto rico for a while

    Toon (but not this season!), and Barca because it's one of my favourite places and they play sublime football.
