which Football (Soccer ) team do you support ?

[Ghosttrain]

I think with the ''studs showing'' rule in force,the slide tackle is almost obsolete in ALL football.........glad as a right footed left back in my playing days this rule was not in existence............(1970's)........because boy could i slide / lunge all 6'1'' of me........ ... ...

Ho hum...another game, another win.

We win. We always win. Is there no one on this planet to challenge us?

Always nice to the Americans doing well in a World championship team sport, that involves more than two nations imho.

[Shush]

I agree. It is nice to see USA taking part in an international team sport with success. Hope it inspires them to not be so inward thinking with team sports. I have been really enjoying this World Cup. The games have been fast flowing and not stopped every two mins for fowls and play acting. I can see woman's football continuing to grow in popularity, maybe eventually on a par with the men's game. All for the good in my eyes.

The women's game is a far more entertaining game than the mens. Don't want to sound sexist, but that's because the women just aren't that good. The men's game could be a slog because they can really control and pass the ball around endlessly. The women are prone to mistakes, they'll cough up the ball and that creates breaks and more excitement and more scoring opportunities. I look forward to the women's World Cup a lot more than the mens.

Leicester, when I went home and away. I believe me cancelling my season ticket was the kick in the arse the club needed to win the Prem - and I’m taking full responsibility for the victory.

But I have a strong affection for all the clubs where I’ve lived, so I always look out for the results of the Cobblers, Depo Cali, Southend, Depo Caracas, and Sunderland.

We lived right near to the old County Ground in Northampton, I was Clarence the Dragon for a time at Sixfields - I really need to add that to my CV.

It’s funny the emotional ties you have to a place. No matter where we moved, we always returned to Northants in the end. Now that it’s nigh-on impossible to get tickets for Leicester (where were they away at Hartlepool in the rain on a Tuesday night in the third tier?), I spend far more time popping along to the Cobblers.

I have been back a couple of times for a day visit when i've been in Brum for a gig.The last time i was there was to see NMA at Roadmenders on 14 October year ? ? i know the date is right as i hassled a miserable steward for the poster outside and have it framed and hanging in my flat...........i have never visited Sixfields,County Ground Hotel End for me....... ...

Ho hum...another game, another win. Kicked the Holy Hell out of home team France.

Next we take on England. The English think they invented the game. Oh, man, I hope we humiliate the English like we did in 1776.

And so begins another football season to enthral or disappoint us as is always the case.  No doubt the usual teams will finish in the usual places in the Premiership due to the wealth of talent at their disposal and of course just their wealth.   The Championship seems to be more of a guessing game as last season proved with Norwich City and Sheffield United taking up 2 of the 3 promotion slots and who certainly weren't favourites before the season began. Then of course the 1st and 2nd Divisions with their mixture of former Premiership occupants, Ipswich and Bolton being the latest to join and teams newly promoted from the none league divisions like Salford.  Also making it's debut in the Premiership is VAR which so far has had mixed reviews as no more is the Monday morning at work discussion or arguments as to whether it was offside/a penalty/handball/a sending off or any other controversial decision.

[Pol]

Yeah var been a bit hit and miss. Would hate to think you have scored only for it to be chopped off a minute later . Disappointing start for killie, losing the first 2 league games but thru to the last 8 of the league cup. .

[Master Ray]

Can I just say that Crewe Alexandra, my hometown team, are at the top of Division 2?

I don't really care much (and I'm sure it won't last long), but it's probably the only time I'll ever get to say it...   

[Ghosttrain]

Beware The Mighty Cobblers MR..............we knocked Swindon off top spot on Tuesday.... ....

[Bunny]

My Non-League team are actually playing good football after years of dross. New manager, whole new team. Things are looking up. C'mon you Yeltz
