where are you from? where do you have ties? people (such as imran :cute can support teams from cities where they have no connection, but to really be a fan, you need some sort of connection.

It's trying to ape off of the Spanish practice of bestowing "Real" to all squads blessed by the King.

That's what I meant, I know about Real Madrid, for instance.

Guess I should asked about that instead.

Relatives and obscure connections are always good. I support Liverpool thanks to a bug in FIFA 97 where the commentator screamed out "McManaman!" every game---even when Liverpool wasn't playing. Clearly it was an omen from the gods.

I didn't know we were a "sister city" (whatever one of those is) to Atlanta.
I know that we're twinned with Gelsenkirchen in Germany, but had never heard of an Atlanta connection. Still, it's already too late to switch allegiance from the Vikings to the Falcons.

By the way DaShi, once you choose then that's it. Absolutely for life. You are allowed to follow other teams (say you live somewhere miles away from where they play, and the local side isn't Man Utd), but they have to be your local team, and when they play YOUR team you have to support YOUR team only.

what about that chinese second division side that gazza was meant to turn out for, they looked pretty useful

the irish don't have any decent football teams, they all support liverpool, man utd or celtic.

colon is right, football is something you grow (or are born) into, you tend to 'pick' a team when you're very young. for you i'd reconmend you watch some premiership games, and pick the team whose players and style of play appeal to you most.

I went to see Newcastle play Bristol Rovers once. It was at the low point of the toon's history. BR seemed a desperate bunch.
