Hello all. Just randomly got talking to my mates at work and got talking about second teams - i.e. the other woman : Me, I follow Man Utd as my second team because my uncle is a Man Utd fan and tried to brainwash me when I was younger. Also back in the day the only footie on tv was MOTD and they were the only team I could give a crap about. But they are only my second team - if I had the choice between Leicester winning the Championship and Man Utd winning the Premiership, Leicester all the way I put this on the entire Championship board so what about the rest of you?
Forest Probably Scunthorpe, as my Uncle used to play for their reserves (and actually paraded the Coca-Cola Cup around Glanford Park when Scunny played Leicester in a frinedly in 1997). Other than that Milan, as my other Uncle supports them, and Mantova, which is where he lives (I think they play in Serie B or C). Also Lennon is a hero so I hope Celtic do well.
Brighton. I wouldn't say 2nd team, more of a team I follow and hope do well. lived in sussex all my life and even tho my dad is a fox he took me to the old goldstone a few times. Plus my bro is a seagull and we are both going to the game next month. should be interesting
Liverpool without question I saw a game at filbo when I was 10, I will never forget. Hansen, Lawro, Dalglish, Whelan, Rush, Molby, Johnston, Lee, Grobo thie list goes on, gods knows how we drew 3-3.
I have 2 2nd teams, if that possible!!! 1st is Liverpool, the 1st game I ever remember going to, sneaking into the the Kop at Anfield watching them beat QPR 2-1 to lift their last league title. (I was about 10 / 11 at the time). My 2nd team is Barcelona. Went to the city as a Uni student just over 10 years ago, and fell in love with the place. We managed to get tickets for a cup game (also a local derby), against Espanyol at the Montuijc (the old olympic stadium where Linford "the lunchbox" Christie sprinted to gold in '92. The like of Rivaldo and Kluivert were in the line-up. Barca winning 2-1. The atmosphere was electric, and rather frightening watching the 200 barca fans get an armed escort!!
Albion Rovers. They always finished bottom of the lowest Scottish league when I was a kid. Got promoted to the Scottish Second Division for the first time in their history at the end of the last season. Hate and detest every other club in the world. Just always felt sorry for Albion.
Also have 2 - Liverpool from my dad's attempts to brainwash me as a kid, and Corby Town where I now live - can't beat a bit of non-league action! Think there's an old thread about this somewhere.....
Barnsley. I lived there for 4 years. I also say I like Mansfield and Notts Co to p*** off the Forest fans. I used to like Blackpool because I have a soft spot for the place (for various reasons), but since ChampionsleaguefortheTangerines - or whatever his ID - was and buddies, I've concluded that they're fans are just a load a morons.
I have a few. Southampton (Dad is a massive fan of them) Hartlepool (Just a random team I followed when I was younger, I have a few of their shirts) Stoke (Best mate supports them, been to a few games with him. Amazing set of fans and the players remind me of us when we we're good!)
forrest- i was born there. Its hard to describe but i hope this makes sense- i love it when they lose and get battered, though in general i like to see them do well. E.g. lose 6-1 to burnley but still be in playoffs if that makes any sense!!
I'm a bit like this. I hate Cov much much more. My Uncle is a massive Tree and I always talk about Forest and Leicester when with him. I obviously hope we hammer them when we play them but I like them to do well. If I could choose who goes up this season then it'll be us top with Saints second and Forest through the play-offs.
I can't actually believe 2 Leicester fans want Forest to do well! I probably wouldn't mind them going up if we did though, just so we could have a derby in the Prem.
well my excuse is i was born there and lived there for 6 months, whats the other persons excuse i love to see them battered by all teams, as long as their up their. I do love hateing them though!
haha. I was influenced as a child! It is wierd. Its like I want them to lose every week but still promoted with us
Its just one of those things. I hate Coventry. I like to just laugh at Derby. I want Forest to lose but still do well so they are in our league. Forest is the game I most enjoy each year. Shame that Cov and Forest away have already gone. Both we're good though.
