This is not your butchered rugby, it's the REAL football!
Basically, I want to see what the general support is on here. Mainly whether you're all glory-hunters or not :)

I'll start...
MILLWALL!
Come on the Lions. No-one likes us, we don't care...
We're going to start improving now I think. We've suffered under a series of crap chairman and managers who've sold all our good players since our FA Cup final, but we've got a new chairman, new manager (a veteran Millwall defender, no less) and we've started to improve - 2 wins and 2 draws in the league I think, and a FA Cup draw against Everton.

I honestly cannot help it, I was raised a United fan, and frankly, I utterly adore the club. Quite simply the greatest history of any club globally, with the most hubris permeated, alluring players, and one of the greatest stadia on the planet, the Theatre of Dreams.... thats right....

Millwall, that's the one!do you know this chant? Millwall, Millwall you're all really dreadful and all your girlfriends are unfulfilled and alienated!

Bristol City!!!! The league is upside down! We're going up

No, I can imagine that.... after all, the smallest room in football is the Newcastle Trophy Room:p

WOLVERHAMPTON WOLVES FOREVAH!

I've seen them like 2 times on TV, as Finnish channels don't show British 1st League too much, but I loved the logo both times. Both times they got beaten also, but that doesn't count nearly as much as the name/logo do.

EDIT: WTF?! I googled it, and it says "Wolverhampton Wanderers" ! Have they changed it lately or have I been misinformed from the beginning? If so, I'll abandon them and never be their fan again.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST FC!

As managed by god.

yes they're from Wolverhampton (in the midlands) and their official name is Wolverhampton Wanderers but their nickname is wolves (obvious reason).

Booh! Booh!

Thank you for that highly educated take on the topic in hand. Next time there's a thread like this, I'll be sure to seek out your expert advice before posting.

Arsenal. Has been for over 15 years now. For all Manchester United's pretensions to greatness, they don't have a Tube station named after them. So ner.

MILLWALL!


CREWE ALEXANDRA The last team Crewe beat was Millwall! Only problem - it was two months ago :'(

In retrospect, that might not have been too smart... Oh well.

Who? I know most of the teams in the MLS and I don't kow them.

The only team that matters mate: EVERTON.

Can't believe you didn't include the Toffees by name in the poll!

They're an American football team, and the guy is someone who tries to say that because the US ripped off another sport and called it football, their version is the real one:rolleyes:

Man United and i hate it when people call us gloryhunters, they were the first team i enjoyed watching and their style has been superb for years

If anyone says Sunderland, they will be laughed at. *is a geordie* 6 points from 20 games, bwahahahah!

Technically I support an "other" Premiership club, but signs suggest it won't be for much longer...

Birmingham City

Console yourself with the thought that - 'At least you're not supporting Sunderland':D

Ah right, they ripped off rugby and footy then...

I support a club, since 1998 whose manager should be sacked, if you listen to some people.

I support The Arsenal

Having listened to 606 on 5 Live every Saturday this season, I don't remember hearing any Arsenal fans calling for his head. Maybe I'm listening to the wrong people.
By the way, to any Man Utd. fans here - good result for 95% of Manchester today, no?

YEOVIL
Seriously. 2 promotions in 3 seasons. And this season we'll shock 'em all by getting into and winning the playoffs. If only we didn't lose so much...

Anyway, now glory hunters will be supporting chelsea. Even though Man U will win the league cup and FA Cup, despite that little hiccup at Burton Albion...and who knows, we might get the premiership, shame about the champions league

Do we have to have these threads every few days now?

On the lines of playing Cygan, Gilberto, us not winning every match this season, selling our captain, losing to Chelsea, not beating Manchester United, being a mere 5th, playing Flamnini, not spending cash, those arguments are being used against him.

Re you serious?

CHELSEA!!!!!

Cygan, fair enough. Gilberto's a good player, as is Flamini. Those who think we should win every match this season are just idiots, losing to Chelsea was expected, the Man Utd. game was dull, I'll give you that, selling Vieira was a poor idea, but if he wanted to go he wouldn't have given 100% to the club. Wenger's spent almost £15 million this season, which might go up to £25 million if we get Walcott. Being 5th isn't a disgrace when you've got a young team, have a game in hand on 4th, and the other 3 teams are Chelsea, an on-form Liverpool, and Man Utd.

YEOVIL
Seriously. 2 promotions in 3 seasons. And this season we'll shock 'em all by getting into and winning the playoffs. If only we didn't lose so much...
Bastards, drawing with MK Dons. I'd've won £60 if Yeovil had won that match. Only won £11 :(

Cygan is a decent squad player, error prone but tends to do alright. I think selling Vieira was a good long term plan though we have missed him at times, we will get over it.

Otherwise I agree with you I V Stalin.

Bothered!:p

We've got a bigger stadium than you, and Fergie could so beat up Wenger anyday.:D

Oh, you think you have problems..... try a team reliant on a Scouser (the shame), with a group of non-entities; O'Shea, Fletcher and Smith in midfield, and a blind ginger, in midfield, and Rio bloody Ferdinand and Silvestre in defence.

Not to mention a distinctly senile manager.

United need a new midfield, hopefully Carrick and Parker, with a new central defence, Brown and Vidic, with Trappetoni replacing Ferguson in May.

you'll never get parker , newcastles top player this year.

I don't particularly like "football".
But Blackburn Rovers would be my favourite team as a New Zealander plays for them, Ryan Nelsen.

you'll never get parker , newcastles top player this year.
Newcastle do so many transfers, top player this year is sold off next year.

That's why you should never buy a NUFC calendar, half the players in the pictures won't be at Newcastle anymore by the time the year's finished.

We will, you need money, and we have it.

Not for much longer...

Right...:p

Just thought I'd mention my local team - Colchester United! Up the U's, up the U's! Going to win the 2nd division this year...Southend will go up as well, then there'll be 4 East Anglian teams in the first division. Bizarre.

Not for much longer...

Yep, I think they're expanding old Trafford, which'll make it bigger than the emirates stadium:p

Booh! Booh!

Zero Six Three: That's, um...

Well, it's less bad than I expected :) Keep em up!

Well keep in mind, we're 5th in the division and have two games in hand

Bastards. Arsenal can easily expand Highbury II - I believe they've sold all advance season tickets, corporate boxes, etc, already, so it seems like we'll have no problem filling the stadium on matchdays. I reckon we could easily get 70k.

Reading and Sheffield United will still get the automatic promotions. Even if you win both games in hand, you'll still be 10 points behind Sheff. Utd. And you only have one game in hand on Leeds, and they're 4 points above you...

So what? Were still easily in contention for the playoffs and I think on our recent run, we'll get through.

Your still a good team, what I would worry about is your debts. That and the seeming lack of young players coming through

Can Man U expand Old Trafford? IU thought the Health and Safety people said you guys couldn't?

Some of the younger players look decent enough prospects. And the club's still making a profit so it should only be a matter of time before the debts are done away with (a long time perhaps, but as long as the payments are kept up the creditors are happy).


Can Man U expand Old Trafford? IU thought the Health and Safety people said you guys couldn't?
No I think they're allowing it, 80,000+ is what I heard, but don't take it as gospel

Just wondering about Man U fans opinions on Fergie, good manager? Persoanlly I've never been impressed with him, people will point to his success with the 'golden generation' but it's hard to go one when you have a world class midfeild coming through ready made.
