I'm a masochist. So, obviously I support Arsenal.

Any worries about Rice now that Shitty are going in for him?

[-] balrog@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Crap. This is the first I've heard about it. Figures. Yes, now I'm definitely worried it won't happen. This is how it goes every year for Arsenal transfers though. They excite fans with these small feelers to good players, and when their bids are easily turned down, they settle for sub-par signings. Maybe not always the case, but generally it feels that way (Lemar, Buendia, Dembele, Suarez for example).

Leeds United here.

FC Cincinnati if we're going beyond EPL.

[-] Criton@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Ah I hadn't even thought to name teams from other leagues.

I have a soft spot for Seattle Sounders ever since picking them as my team for a fifa tournament many years ago. My mate bought me a Sounders shirt with Dempsey on the back after I scored a wonder goal with him.

Similarly, got a soft spot (and replica shirt) for Chievo Verona after playing as them for on LMA Manager (remember that?).

I'm ostensibly a Watford fan, having lived near there as a kid before moving to the States, but I don't really support any particular team. I kinda pick new stories each year that I like to follow. I realize this is probably a strange way to watch football, but it works for me.

I grew up in the 90s in the South West of England so I'm naturally a Manchester United fan ;)

Also a season ticket hold for my local team in Wales which is a great fun

Arsenal. You lot really want Sambi Lokonga?

[-] Criton@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck knows. We've been linked with approximately 5 billion players already this summer.

[-] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf -1 points 1 year ago

Please take Sambi

Also Sambi isn't as bad as some of y'all make him out to be, Burnley would be fine for him IMO

[-] brawleryukon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

As a fellow Gooner, it's pretty clear Sambi's got loads of potential, he just is not far enough along developing it to be immediately useful to the process. Especially after this season just ended, where we're that much further ahead of where we thought we'd be - we just can't be spending the minutes on developing a player like that. Burnley under Kompany would be great for him, I think.

My Father introduce me to EPL when The Special One start to dominate EPL with Chelsea. So yeah, I support Chelsea FC.

Liverpool and Falmouth Town (Step 5)

Born in Lancashire of a Scouse mother, with scouse parents, so was put in a red shirt when i was a bairn and that was that. Been a red for many decades now..

Falmouth, we moved to when I was about 13, and the bulk of my late teens and early 20's was spent following Falmouth up and down the South West. Now 400 miles away, but still keep in touch with their results every week. Finally back in the Western League after having to drop down in the 70's because of the travel cost.

Also keep an eye on Daggers results. We moved to London when I was about 3 and Leytonstone was the nearest football club. They merged with Ilford FC, they in turn became Redbridge Forest, and in turn merged with Dagenham. For a similar reason have a soft spot for the O's, and cheered on the Hammers in Europe last year as long as we arent in the same competition.

Come on you Spurs

[-] erre@feddit.win 2 points 1 year ago

LAFC, Tottenham.

It's really too bad neither have communities here.

[-] jamms@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Atlanta United, Tottenham, Union Berlin

Gooner, plus a local affinity for South China AA

Because life hates me, I support CD Feirense, and FC Porto, both from Portugal, both in a sorry state due to the boards being greedy cunts.

At least the Portuguese NT got rid of Fernando Santos, I guess

[-] skeswo320@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Liverpool here! Let's hope for a better season this time around. 🤞

My heart beats for Werder Bremen but I'm also a season ticket holder at my local club FC Gütersloh. They just won the Westphalia Double: Oberliga Westfalen (5th tier) and the Westfalenpokal (weich qualifizierte for the DFB Pokal). It has been a surreal year after two decades of misery.

[-] moosleech_@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Sporting, Inter Miami, and Spurs

Hopefully they implement flairs soon

I'm there. Switched instances, so all my post history is gone. But I'm definitely there.
