Some are obvious like @Johno being an Arsenal fan , hopefully it's a better game tomorrow mate, but who do the rest of you guys support? shelbourne, you say? mate, i will have to instantly block you, i’m afraid … https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/5236698/shelbourne-hajduk-champions-league-qualifying-round/ hajduk club from my first homebase split. europe’s oldest supporter/ultras group - torcida - is the club’s 12th player. they won the national cup this past thursday, ending a 9-year drought without national titles. eintracht club from my second homebase frankfurt am main. they famously breezed through the europa league 11 days ago, ending a 42-year drought without international titles. also national cup winners in 2018, ending a 30-year drought without national titles … do you spot a pattern here? i have three more that i like for personal reasons and hope to see them progress to higher leagues:split younger »brother« of hajduk, their stadiums are several hundred meters away from each other. had a very good spell in the first croatian league when they played the europa league qualifications (fulham and torino were the opponents on each occasion), currently in the third league. my father used to play for them in the second yugoslav league for half a season in the late 1960s before he moved to germany. in his local club, omiš, he’s among the legends and was best scorer / player during his active time. omiš is also the same club where ivan perišić started his career. frankfurt shares its origins with eintracht, and played in the second league during its best times. currently in the fourth league. had a very successful section for women’s football and won the national title and cup a few times. kickers from offenbach am main. eintracht’s fiercest rivals, currently in the fourth league. two-times vice champions of germany (1950, 1959 -- lost the play-off against eintracht) and cup winners in 1970. won the hesse cup last week and thus qualified for the german cup. 99% of people would freak out if i told them i support eintracht and like kickers -- that’s probably the equivalent to liverpool and everton, just a few tads crazier. they have a positive score against eintracht, damn … Edited May 29, 2022 by cameosis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milho28 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Plain and simple... Benfica! Oh and my hometown club, Vitória de Setubal, another historic club in Portugal, in the 2004/2005 season they won Portuguese Cup against Benfica (lol) and then on 2007/2008 they won another cup (which i don't know the name in portuguese) against Sporting. In 2017/2018 they lost that same cup against Sporting as well, this season they were penalized and sent to third division because of the board incompetence and they didn't even got promoted to the second division at the end of the season lmao 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milho28 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Unfornately, i don't think so, we are a club that doesn't try to keep their best players and clubs easily reach their clauses so yeah.. not looking good.

A striker I've said it a few times in the past year whenever someone said City didn't have a striker. Big deal we haven't had an out and out striker since Suarez. Nunes was incredibly good against us in the CL and Klopp singled him out for praise which he only does if he's interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes is the honest answer but time will tell. Although you have to admit Haaland would have cost 2-3 times that much without that release clause. Talking with the lads watching the CL final etc I had said the two realistic targets I would love to get were Nunez and Bellingham. I know Bellingham won’t happen. Nunez ran riot against us in CL. Came across this on Twitter though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators VyKing Posted November 11, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2022 I've just realised I've not posted who I support . Not that it's a bad thing. Sheffield Wednesday, I won't bore you all with origins stories or the last time we had a team in the prem although we were one of the founding teams of the premier league back in 92. And everyone has heard of the Hillsborough disaster, so I won't get into my thoughts on that. Currently sat 3rd in League One. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
