Clubs you secretly admire

Mine

Nottingham Forest

I know I know - midlands rivals blah blah
but that forest team under Clough which won 2 European cups made me have a soft spot for them

 

Ironically for me it’s Derby

Not what you’d expect for the first 2 responses!

 

Dont really admire anyone but after how they treated us after Vichai and now their own tragedy with Sala ive got a bit of a soft spot for Cardiff

 

Do the Wellington Phoenix count? Steven Taylor going great guns in the A League.

Fosse, as a mod I think you should seriously be reviewing the membership of Ed and Martin

 

I'm arranging transfers to the Arctic forum where they can interact with Eskimos and Polar Bears ... far away from sane people

 

I am a Leicester fan I promise, but I was born in Nottingham, am moving to West Bridgford in March and have a girlfriend and late grandfather who are/were very very strong Derby fans.

On top of that, my father and his family are from Liverpool and all support them and Man Utd! (father is a leicester fan thankfully). And a mother who regularly asks how Matty Fryatt played after each game...

 

Ed, your just making it worse

My significant other is an ardent Fulham fan so I do also follow them. I'm currently reliving the misery of being in the relegation zone!
Did have a great day at Wembley for the play off final though.

 

Agent Benalouane

 

Nothing as controversial as Martin and Ed from me!! I’d say Sheffield United. Not just because I live up here and my mrs is a Blade but they must be unique in the sense that the owner, manager and captain/leading scorer are all Blades. Their squad is also put together on a shoestring and made entirely of British and Irish players. Still they are pushing for auto promotion

 

I always looked out for the Torquay Utd scores, although nowadays it takes a lot longer to look down the divisions!. Think it goes back to it being the first place I went on holiday many years ago!

 

Swansea for me ... missus is from a small town midway between Swansea and Neath ... first Xmas we spent together down at her Mums I went to the Boxing day game with one of her brothers ... League 2 ... 1-0 win against Barnet at the old Vetch ground ... their rise from that point was quite remarkable

 

When I was a kid, Albion Rovers ALWAYS finished bottom in the lowest Scottish league. Where are they now? Well after a brief sojourn up the leagues, they are now bottom of the lowest Scottish league. Have always checked their results over the last 60 odd years. Have absolutely no soft spot whatsoever for any team that plays in the English leagues - apart from Barwell that is.
