Your 'second' team

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

I'm from Luton and therefore always look out for their results and maybe go to a couple of games, but I'm really a Gunner at heart.

Spurs first and foremost. Celtic because I'm from a Irish Catholic family. I look out for Barnet, Watford, Fulham and QPR because I either played or trained there at some point.

[Farmer Reil]

Ok, this always confused me while Smalce was here, and now it's continuing to do so: Other than the name (which is pronounced differently anway), what has Celtic got to do with Ireland?

Most people who claim an Irish decent (which is most people who aren't already Irish for some reason ) seem to support Celtic. Why?

I'm not saying it's in any way wrong, I'm just genuinely wondering what the reason is.

Celtic = Catholic team

Rangers = Proddy Team

In a nutshell.

[Farmer Reil]

...so what? It's still in the wrong country...

Why not support an Irish Catholic team? That's my point.

[MDK]

Because Irish Catholic teams are shite.

[Stone Cold]

When i was younger my Dad & Uncle took me to see Stoke City, my Dad himself is a Man Utd fan but because Stoke was the first team i saw play they became my team.

My 2nd team is local club Hednesford Town who i've been following much more often recently, they play in the UniBond Premier and are near the top of the table, if anyone wants to know.

A team outside of England that i keep an eye on is AC Milan, although i mainly watch Milan's Champions League, i do download highlights of the Serie A games from a Milan fansite though.

Internationally i just like England.

[Guest This is classic Ringy]

With Spurs being my numero uno, I like Blackburn, Man Utd, Everton and Leeds in England and my love for them ranges from year to year.

Outside England, I like Ajax, AC Milan, Villareal, Malaga, Lecce, PSG, Lyon, the New England revolution and the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Arsenal first, then I support the rest of the London teams (excluding Spurs and Chelsea) regardless of what leagues they're in.

[ONO]

Lazio.

Great history and once a great team.

[MDK]

And you can empathise with them because they are a bunch of racists.

[Guest muddatrucker]

Nah, they're facists, thats better apparently. De Canio can eat my battered shit.

[ONO]

Not everyone that supports Lazio are Fascists.

And yeh, how nice of you. I'm eating a battered sausage. Well I was.

With Spurs being 'My' team, the other team's I follow would be:

Liverpool- my brothers and best mate follow them.

Oxford- lived here for 7 years and the stadium is just down the road from me.

MK Dons-Used to live in MK back when we had no footie team. Don't agree with how the whole Wimbledon deal went down, but now they are my hometown's adopted team I'd like to see them do well.

[Lineker]

Internationally, I have to <3 Brazil. England first.

DOmestically, the locals. Watord all the way. Spurs first.

[marksbros6]

Forgot about Watford!

A friend in Uni was a Watford fan, that was about when they had a bunch of our old players too, so I like to see them do well.

[Turbo Yannis]

In England, other than Chelsea, I like Southend. I took them to the Champions League final in Fifa 2005, so hence why I like them.

I know, it's sad.
