We're all (well most of us, including Rob) Chelsea fans first and foremost here, but do you have a team you 'casually' support? Or just look out for their results? Maybe in La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 etc.. Or in the Championship or other English divisions?

I've followed Espanyol's progress for 5 or so years now as in Spain they are our local team [either them or Barca

] and was gutted when they lost in the UEFA cup final last season. Also have a soft spot for Charlton, so always look out for their results.

 
Probably never live this down, but I have to admit it:

Millwall

 
Do you want all of us to share impressions every week? Ok.........

Due to the fact that Russian TV have bought rights to translate Serie A I`ve already enjoyed Juventus` impressive start with Ranieri in charge hammering Livorno 5-1, Trezeguet has made a hattrick and looked very impressive alongside Iaquinta and Nedved was great too, amazing player for me.......

Milan did his job well too, beating Genoa away 3-0 , Kaka is,as usually, on fire!!

I`m really impressed with Bayern`s start - new signings Klose, Toni, Altintop plus Schweinsteiger and Podolski, I would like to see Chelsea - Bayern this year again, but they are playing UEFA Cup, funny indeed

And also I`m happy for my favourite La Liga team - Sevilla, who was beating Getafe 4-1, Kerzhakov has scored 4th, I`m wishing him to get into form as soon as possible and hopefully be ready for EC-2008 qualifiers in September...

Who`s next?

Haven't we had this thread before?

Mine are PSV, and, as long as Claudio's contract runs, Juve.

 
Aside from Chelsea & Rangers, I've always had a soft spot for Millwall, Plymouth, Dundee, Feyenoord & Inter.

Non-league teams - Tooting & Mitcham, AFC Wimbledon & Hastings Utd.

 
After Chelsea then Rangers;

Italy - Milan (Baresi/Maldini)

Ger. - Leverkusen (several Americans have played there)

Spain - Madrid (cause I hate Barca!)

Arge - River (Crespo,Ortega,Salas)

Mexico - Club America

US - Chicago Fire (Stiochkov)

For me it tends to be more that I look out for teams who have particular players that I am impressed by. For example in the days of playing Luca, Ravanelli and Del Piero up front I used to very much enjoy watching Juve play but now I take pleasure in seeing them lose.

In Italy I look out for Genoa and Sampdoria's results purely because I worked in Genoa for a year so got to know quite a few local people who supported both teams (although most people who conisdered themselves truly Genoese would support Genoa rather than Samnpdoria.

In the 80s I would always look out for the Bordeaux score because I rated Tigana so highly - for me he was a better player than Platini although I doubt many would agree. That French midfield of Tigana, Platini, Giresse and Fernandez was something very very special!

German football has never appealed to me so much - can't say I have ever really had any specific interest in any one team in it.

Spain - going by my previous statemnt that it was more about who was playing for them I suppose it has oscillated between the big two over the years. Not so much that I cared if they won or lost, more that I enjoyed watching them play. Certainly in the 90s I would say Barcelona more than Real, and then it swung back to Real although, somewhat conversely, I liked Real to lose as although they had key players I enjoyed watching, I hated what the club as a whole were doing.

 
For me it's Elfsborg in Sweden and Juventus in Italy.

I don't really support any team in Spain but I sometimes watch Athletic Madrid and sometimes even Real Madrid. Or rather any team that can kick Barcas a*se

Just Chelsea for me, then the Scottish national side! Watching them is like following Chelsea a good few years back..constant hope, but you'll alway end up heart broken!

 
Chelsea

Portsmouth (Nan used to live 200 yds from Fratton Park and had a Pub just round the corner too)

Rangers (My late father in law who was a top top bloke was Glasgow born and bred and a mad 'Gers fan)

Alloa Athletic (not really sure why)

 
Rangers , naturally.

Also i look out for Crystal Palace, originating from Croydon as i do its always been my families team so i have to admit a soft spot for them, ive been to Selhurst many many times and its always utterley f**king sh*te

I occasionally go with mates and watch the MK Dons once in a while. I like the atmos.

When at the NHS it was a bit like the Bridge in the early 80's!
