Arsenal all my life

phenom

Sorry for Forgetting Villa Irish1. I am a Man Utd Supporter and Have been all my life. My favourite player is Scholes and Was Cantona for a while.

Kingp35

Im a leeds fan through and through.

I dont a favourite player right now because it seems none of leeds' players no the meaning of loyalty especially alan smith.He used to be my fav but he is goin to man utd now and that isnt on. For someone like him to go to man u is ridiculous.He will never be welcome back at leeds again if he goes.

Players of past include John charles,Gordon Strachan,Jack Charlton,vinnie jones to name a few. There have been so many to class players at leeds i can name them all

DEmeant0r

Fulham for the past 6 years

kida

United - since 1983

Favourite ever player - Sparky Hughes
Notable Mentions- King Eric, Roy, Denis Irwin,Kanchelskis(when on form),Schemichel, Steve Bruce

gandalf

Arsenal since 1981

Fav Players Chippie Brady, Pat Jennings, Tony Adams, DB10, David Roecastle and Michael Thomas for that 2nd goal

BaZmO*

Been a Manu supporter since I was a kid.

Have to agree with kida about Sparky with Keano a close second.

Why are there only 5 teams in the poll. A bit short-sighted there Phenom. You should really edit the poll to cover at least ten teams.

B.

uch

Scarborough since 1985.
First team to win promotion to the football league in 1987, but sadly not doing too good in the Conference these days.

Only mods can change polls maybe gandalf or one of the other mods could change that for me please maybe but in

LOL past Gerrard!! you know something we don't??

Le Tallac???? I thought he was muck???

redspider

Funny that you setup this poll Phenom as I asked Gandalf for the same type of poll yesterday!

-- snip --

Poll: which team do you support?

The Poll could be long and list the top 30 english clubs and Celtic
and Rangers and also have a "none of the above" option. This would
be useful to see what the profile is of the discussion group. I
suspect that the Irish populace is about 80% Liv, ManU, Arsenal
but this poll may tell us for sure.

-- snip --

I suggest to keep it as a Sticky so any new users or people dropping in can leave their vote.

I think some of the admins/mods should extend the poll to include all the top teams such as Villa, Leeds, etc and Celtic. Not sure if they can reset users that have voted other to get another vote.

The previous vote was interesting and surpirsing to see so many Villa fans. The turnout was low though as 68 I thought as there must be more posters than that on this forum.

phenom

Im sorry about the poll as I just thought a few teams that I thought would be the most supported clubs but I have asked one of the mods to change the poll and to put afew more teams into it.

Pepe LeFrits

arsenal since 93

current favourite players: toure, cole, reyes, edu.

all time favourite players: wrighty, adams, seaman, merson.

jonno

Le Tallac???? I thought he was muck???

He's been brilliant all season for the reserves (when he wasn't out injured) and has had bright patches in the first team as well. The bits I've seen of him in the pre-season and in a few of his first team appearances this season have been enough for me to merit him with one of my favourite players at the moment. His passing is sublime (on par with Stevie G), his vision is excellent and he can hit a fair old shot. I included him because I love his style of play. I think he will be a big star at Anfield

ShriekingSheet

Blackburn!!

Shearer!

Tugay!

Past Players : Eddie Gormley(esspesally for that goal from his own half against sligo which that camraman missed), Charles Mbabazi Livinstone (one of the most skillful players in the EL), Osam (still playing but he will be remembered most for the amazing player he was a few years ago best EL player in recent history)

yeah im a villa fan and i always loved southgate. Definately one of the best defenders in the british game. he can read a game like no other defender i have ever seen, pity he left us on bad terms.
I also liked Boateng another villain that ended up at middlesvilla along with Ugo


Favourite current player are:
Angel- o'leary bringing out his best
Barry- a local hero
Melberg is also gaining hero status!

celticfc

Obviously the Celts

In England however, I'm in the Villa camp too, I've been a fan since I was a kid.

I think that the day thats in it, I have to mention Henrik, sad to see him go. I wish him all the best wherever he goes.

Good to see money can't buy supporters.

Still can't believe no Villa in the Poll :dunno:

phenom

Suprised at how much Aston villa are supported I didnt think they were well supported aswell as they are .

smuckers

Chelsea since 1988.

kaimera

Liverpool since the early 90's.

current crop: Stevie G, Baros, Partridge [if only he'd get a first team run && wasn't injured], Carragher [model pro, solid]

past: rush, dalglish, keegan...too many legends to mention.

Zaph

Only ever been one team for me - Leeds, despite all the pain and disappointents over the years.

Favourite past players:
I grew up around the end of Don Revie's team, so Allan Clarke and Peter Lorimar were always my two favourite players.

Favourite current players:
Yeah, right! Have you seen the current shower of wasters? Up until a couple of days ago it would have been undoubtedly Smithy, but if as seems likely he goes to that lot in red he'll never be welcome at Elland Road again. Some things you just can't forgive, even if it is Smithy.

Space Coyote

Liverpool. Used to suppport Man Utd.

Current : Micky, Stevie, Sami, Milan.

Past : Dalglish, Fowler, Rush, Barnes, Keegan, Whelan, Beardsley, Aldo etc etc

Supported them since the late 80's, when nearly half the Irish first team were Villa players.

Current favourites would be Angel, Mellberg and Samuel. Old's, Paul McGrath and Paul Merson.
