The whole point is that if you don't support your local team... you won't have a local team long.

It's just like where I'm from, no one supports the local team hence they are shit. It's a vicious cycle.

If you really love football support your local team. No matter how shit they are.

my 'local' team is down next to bottom of the something or unibond division 1 or something. We lost all our players thro financial issues (ground sale fell through) and half the team now were at school with me. Haven't won a game since but should escape relegation thanks to one team being even worse! I support them & hate their rivals, but chose to support bolton because it was a local club to where the only grandparent i never knew was born plus my dad, grandad & grandfather all had different teams so I could never pick the same as any of them else be accused of bias to one person

I love being a bolton fan. we have good times, bad times, and really bad times but just being a fan of a team like ours allows us to appreciate the good ones so much more than someone who just chooses to support a 'big' team.

I'd support the local team here (Red Bull New York) if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to get to the games

Originally posted by wotyzoid This is such bullshit, you assume I don't follow Brazillian soccer closely and even worse you assume no one else does either. I support Palmeiras and have for all my life. But can't I also follow european soccer and root for a team I have for more than 10 years now? What's wrong with that? I like good soccer, period. I followed Chelsea long before Maurinho got in there and made it what it is today. You really know nothing if you say Brazillian soccer has no fans.

So you support two teams? For fuck sake, and here I was actually assuming you'd support one club and get behind it. If you're just someone who follows the results of a distant club I don't even class you as a supporter. I like watching AC Milan in Italy and I follow their results and try to watch them, but that doesn't make me a "fan" and I don't have any "pride" in a club I have no connection to.

I wouldn't give a shit about people who root for teams, but it's the people who turn up in threads like these gloating about a team's performance. It's just following a club for bragging rights. We call people who do that "glory hunters".

Originally posted by OurManFlint But like I said in another post, I don't support a club, but I enjoy watching certain clubs. I wish more people would do the same instead of bandwaggoning.

That's the kind of perspective I respect. Someone who can appreciate a team's football without saying "we" and bragging about that team in conversations with genuine fans from somewhere. If I were talking about Serie A I wouldn't say "we" as if I'm part of the Rossoneri or brag about anything Milan have done.

As a don I've seen my team get beaten 0-6 and should have been relegated. Also saw them last year beat Copenhagen 4-0 (live), draw with Bayern Munich and play well away against Atletico Madrid (live) along with a travelling support of 16,000 other dons.

And can basically be pretty sure we won't win the league in the next ten years either.

I remember that Bayern Munich result because Josh Walker scored, and we'd loaned him out to you for the season.

Arf, maybe you should re-read. I'm laughing at the plastic Chelsea and 'Pool fans and you're the one coming in with "ridiculous, deluded, bullshit" comments when your "pride" gets stung. So laugh it up, mate. You got a lot more pissed off than I did.

Yeah he's a good mature player for someone so young. Should have got more games when he was with us though.

Should have damn well won it though we had the same shout (exactly) for a pen that they got at the end to make it 2-2 as we had for one at the start of the game.

Had a quid on Walker to score first (which he did) and us to win 2-1 as well ..... at 450-1 (wasn't usually a starter, but did take freekicks sometimes when he came on)!!!! Bastards!

My little bro was in the Bayern end for it said it was tough gong ahead twice and not showing he was in the wrong end.

Still got this guy though:

Hard luck mate, you must have been absolutely gutted at the end.
