I remember a while ago, we had this topic in MF whereby you get to state your 2nd favorite club after Milan. Couldn't find it ..

So, all you have to do is state which is your favorite club aside from Milan and why it is so




My favorite club aside from Milan is Napoli ... The reason I like Napoli is because of one Diego Armando Maradona and the magic that he bestowed upon Serie A. Then obviously the current Napoli of today that has been progressing positively since their surge back to Serie A.

Newcastle. Because it's a madhouse.

Strangely, R7, the thread that I think you're talking about had the very same title - Favourite Clubs?

Villa, because they're my local team.

2nd favourite club is Ajax, 3rd favourite is Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Torquay - Born there, not my local team anymore due to moving but it will always be my birthplace club! Apart from that no others really. I admire a few clubs around the world but to say they are Favourite or I support them or whatever would be too much.

Torquay? Fawlty Towers

Yep, that's the one

Yep that is it

Beşiktaş!

The second team i try to follow is Boca Juniors, mainly due to Diego Armando Maradona, but also as their blue and yellow is the same colours as my hometown crest and banner.

And yes it is good to see Napoli back in Serie A and doing well, north south derby rekindled!

Vancouver Whitecaps

madrid

I guess I don't have a second favorite club, cause I become interested and after a while lose interest in them all the time.

Among the clubs I've liked for a certain period of time are Madrid, Liverpool, Napoli and Genoa. the former two I can't like anymore (especially Liverfool), the latter two however I have to admit that I still have a spot spot for. especially Napoli, because I like Naples in general.

It used to be Bayern some time ago, but now I care only about Milan and no-one else.

I make no apologies for saying my second club is Milan.

I love them, I do, but Rangers are and always will be my #1.

No problem with that. You are Scottish after all, right?

Don't remind the poor lad.

I love your Scotland related remarks!

Manchester United and Roma but after all it's just AC Milan I can really cheer on
I grew up watching Manchester United and AC Milan but in Roma, it was Francesco Totti that caught my eyes
but I have always had a sweet tooth for italian football and Alessandro Nesta

Nesta and Roma, quite a combination.

No doubt, Milan. The only club I'll ever support, follow and adore.

There are some clubs I feel for - Marseille, PSG, Ajax and Borussia M'Gladbach.

+1.

inter milan.

That's like supporting North Korea and USA at the same time.

Can't think of one, Milan is my amore eterno Used to be Liverpool years ago but I'm cured for a while now.

I hope it's a joke.

in all honesty, it really just changes based on what players are where at any given time. since that changes so much, as does my interests in other teams. Milan are the only constant.

Other than milan, I've found myself not disliking/perhaps even cheering for: Arsenal (henry and pires, currently a big fan of nasri's work), Marseille (always impressed with their young talent. remy, gignac, ayew. oh yea, let's make taiwo on a free transfer happen), and Villarreal (Rossi and Nilmar = awesome).

But as fillipo aptly put it:

The football players (and/or coach) are for me also reasons to like teams, or to dislike teams. I'm pretty sure it's because of the many likeable players Milan had and still have that I picked Milan to root for in Champions League. I was raised in a family where we were fan of Ajax, no super Ajax fans or so, but we preferred Ajax. My father, and his mother, are from Amsterdam, so makes sense. But since I had more sympathy for the Milan players, Milan becamse my number one club, and Ajax came in second. Borussia MG is the club of my mother, I like my mother, we went to some games from Borussia, Borussia is a nice club, awesome fans, and so, so why don't have sympathy for them also?

I may be Dutch, but there are so many Dutch players to dislike, and it started with the coach **** Advocaat, I just couldn't like the Dutch NT. I rather cheer for Germany, my mother's country. Italy I also like, because well, the same players I like in Milan I like in Azzurri, well, mostly a while ago, Azzurri love is not as big as it used to be. Not too long ago I started to like Japan by the way, surprise!

Apparently Advocaat's first name got censured. His full name should have censured I'd say.

I like my mother too.

God talks to the Archangel Gabriel and says 'I've made a new land, called Scotland. The scenery is wonderful, the greens are lush and fertile, the cities full of ancient architecture and the people are warm and friendly. The women are also beautiful.'

Archangel replies 'Sounds like you've made it a bit too good boss'.

God responds: 'oh no, you should see who I've given them as neighbours...'









Old gag but was required here

He's just jealous. Can't say I blame him.

Yes indeed. You're Italian, no?

^^^

Hahahahahaa! Him? Italian...in your dreams!!!

EDIT: Whoopsie..it's X-Off. I thought it was KillerMax hence the barb of sarcasm. Nah...X-Off is a resident of Milan..but he's Albanian(?).

What an eclectic forum we have here.

And this is your second bad case of mistaken identity Jack. Too much rum old boy.

Gimme a break. It's friday evening!

At least he edited his post out by calling it fair and square. No misuse of the "mod powers" evident. Too much rum or not, the guy at least has his integrity in place - for a pirate at least, LOL.

That's coz I'm a mod and I fear no one. If you don't like me, I'll just ban your @$$.

Okay you can have one, seeing as you are practically begging for it, by posting it twice. Seriously, hate unintentional double-posts. And oh, it's Friday, mind you. I kid, I kid.


And here I was praising you, you go in and remove the evidence of your double-post. Pirate mods!

I'm so awesome, I shouldn't have to say things twice. Even granting crappy internet connections.

Nice reply.

What the hell, when were you made a mod? Have you always been a mod?!

Nah he's a 2nd gen mod. I think Ash is the only original left!

Before my time. I only showed up in August 2009 which seems like a long time ago now.

I think Ricky was as well, though he joined after, he's just busy with his family nowadays.

And obviously Mike, he's just cruising London making his billions on The Social Network 2.

Correct.

Well you guys can be my 2nd fave but i have A very dark secret. i have two second faves one of which your going to want to tear me apart for. yip worse than Barca or madrid [i dont really like both. GO VALENCIA/SEVILLA]
evuj

Why would we hate Valencia or Sevilla?

hehe its not them

i kinda spelt something backwards teehee. but heck i love italian football As a whole

Oh, took me a second

Well, Juve is relatively o.k compared to Inter, especially these days when they are still not completely back on top.
Though, I don't get how someone can root for two top club from the same country. But since Chelsea is your first and main favorite club, I guess the others matter less.

For me, there are no 2nd or 3d favorite teams. If it's not Milan, then I don't really care.

Milan
Marseille
Lille
Genoa
Cagliari
Chievo
Pescara
Maribor
Sunderland ("I look forward to your letters")
and recently, Palermo for making me a prouder Italo-Slovenian
