Well, the title says "favorite" so not necessarily qupported clubs I suppose.

I don't really have favorites though. Personally, I can't stand to watch any match if United's not playing in it..

But you do miss out on a lot of other quality football though.
 
I guess if you find the right match..

To contradict what I've just said, I've watched most of the CL matches that ESPN has been oh so gracious to show over here, throughout the season, and most of them were crap, expecially all of them with Liverpool recently. ugh, boring shit.

... all of which happen to be champions in each of their leagues, except for Bordeaux ... :wenger:

Not that im suggesting anything :rolleyes:
These were teams I had started liking some 20 years ago, dude... We were not having much English football on TV at that time and in the papers, I'd follow all the leagues. But nothing like Manchester United. I'd always jump to what Man United were doing first, and then glance at the other teams.

By the way, I forgot to mention my favorite team in Scotland which is Celtic...

I think its abit daft how you follow this many leagues and favour the top team in each of them ... plus these teams werent shit 20 years ago :rolleyes:

... again im not implying anything :wenger:
 
France : Monaco
Germany : Dortmund
Holland : Ajax
Italy : Juventus
Portugal : feck the Portuguese!
Spain : Valencia

Only follow Ajax though, because I'm technically Dutch, so it seems to me a moral impeditive to follow a Dutch team.

It is just a coincidence most of these teams are performing so well in their leagues.

But, I am no glory-hunter. I have stuck to those teams since that time. Manchester United weren't winning the league (and hadn't for a long time) at that time and that could prove the same. Also, Bordeaux were good 20 years ago (they also had one of my favorite players of all times - Zidane at some point in time), and yet, even though they are not the same team any more, I still have them as my favorite team in France...

Once I have set upon liking one team, I won't change my liking ever.

What you might also understand from my liking the non-English teams at that time was also down to the fact that no English team was actually facing any non-English team (European competition ban) and therefore no rivalry to get me not to hate them for whatever reason. But, I'd never support any team above United... Never... Not even if they were in the place of Exeter...
 
Huge Red Sox fan
also like Celtic and Roma, but don't activly support them like United more like affection than love and dedication.
 
Actually very surprised by the number of baseball fans on here, dodgers and cubs, fair enough, but the Marlins?

Whatever does it for you

AC Milan
I liked them a bit before we played them but I'm amazed by the class they showed against us so AC Milan for me.

If I had a local team worth supporting I might but there aren't any Sydney sides worth supporting and 1 or 2 I wouln't piss on if their collective hair was on fire.

Perth Glory would be worth supporting if you lived there.
