Old Hippie Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 O.k. good suggestions. But in orderto be a "supporter" I should probably know something about the city they come from...research...I'll start with a map...it might help to know where England actually is as well, so maybe a globe...? Anyway, I am excited about all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 As a youngster and come to think of it the only English Football team I saw play was Stoke City. Are hey still around? I still remember the chant from over 30 years ago " ZIGGA ZAGGA ZIGGA ZAGGA S T O K E C I T Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks, the important thing is I be able to get endless merchandise and memorabilia so as to appear that I actually know/understand what is going on...none the less, I do like the Premier league games, a lot better than the Mexican league games I get here...

sayjann Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 it depends what you want....... do you want to be a glory hunter and choose a Team which has been successful for many Years?. or do you want to pick an upcoming Team or one which has a good Season every know and then?. easy to pick Chelsea,MU or Liverpool,forget about Arsenal.........losers. so far this Season Pompey,Reading and Everton are doing well,but i think most People here will agree that they will slip down the table as the Season goes on. i have always had a soft spot for West Ham. not a great Team but good support and a good tradition. a Team which appeals to locals and Families. always had a good Youth Academy and have nurtured many Players from young ages. but they fucked up a few Years ago by sacking the Man who bought the kids along. since Redknapp left they have sold many of their Players who have commanded £millions in transfer fees since. they seem to be a Team which bring on the kids and then because of finances have to sell. a mid table Team most Seasons but a well run small and friendy team and based in London which might suit you. almost won the FA Cup last Season.......... merchandise no problem but expensive. i have fond memories of visiting the Boleyn Ground many Years ago. must PM you,need some info.

Old Hippie Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I was leaning towards Liverpool, but then I recalled Carabao does a song in a Beer Chang Commercial (anyone know the song?) where a guy is kicking a soccer ball through town, whilst wearing an everton "kit" so now I am thinking that...and as I used to "support" Beer Chang in other ways, it is a good way to keep on...

Mekong Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I support my home town team, the same as my dad does and my grandfather did, it was (and still is) a family tradition. Coming from Salford the Team happens to be Manchester United. The 74-75 season was the one when I saw more games than any other and that was the season we were in the old second division so gloryhunter tag does not apply. I admit to keeping an eye out for Reading results now, my local pub in Pattaya is the unofficial home of Reading Supporters Club Thailand, Steve Coppell (Reading Manager Ex-Man Utd player) has been coming to Pattaya in the summer for the last few years now and has made my local bar his local.
