an ex girlfriend lived there when I was at Uni. I used to go to Ayresome Park while she did the shops.

Watford for their fantastic ex-forum, the funniest site ever ( the sadly demised BWL. Charlie Brooker used to post on it. He hates football and has nothing to do with Watford, but his friend ran the forum. TDS is still ongoing, but that is not as funny)

Wigan, because they survive

Fulham 'cos they are just "nice".

Bibao cos I went there when I was about 17 and saw the play and I like their general policy of only having Basque players. Bielsa joining them has raised my love another notch.

- Union Deportiva de Salamanca - they're my 2nd team, went to footie every week when I was there (great away days too, which is surprising for Spain), loads of mates who support (no better way to learn a language), part of a supporters club, delightfully awful football team

- Spurs - dad supports

- Fulham and Charlton - just generally 'nice' and 'family'

-Farnborough Town - used to bunk over the toilet block as a kid to watch for free

Croydon Royal Rochdale - They were very good to me when I was doing my sports journalism degree in Leeds, and would always invite us along to report/commentate on matches. Have even been to a few games since leaving Uni and moving back down south, and always look out for their scores on a Saturday.

Crewe - More admiration than love I suppose...always respected their youth policy and Dario Gradi's management. The 4-3 win at Gresty Road in our promotion season was one of my favourite RFC away days too.

Whyteleafe - My local team growing up, would go and watch them if Reading weren't playing. Ryman League football at its finest.


I often refereed Whyteleafe. It was a club always assigned to me so no doubt you might of seen me in action. I really liked the ground, don't know why, just had a good feel to it and liked the area behind the goal

Hey Kes - Honest question here: Do you follow Reading at all?

I really love the way the Spurs play football at the moment - the way they deploy Bale and Lennon.

I do not really have any affiliation with any other clubs as I am from Australia - just like what I see on the TV.

I do like what Pulis has done at Stoke. They seem to be doing well in Europe also.

I do have a soft spot for Exeter and AFC Wimbledon. Sounds like AFC was screwed big time, and can't wait for them to come across the insidious Dons.

Can't understand why anybody would 'love' any club other than the one they support. Grudging admiration perhaps, and I'll give you your local non-league triers - but people quoting Liverpool? Do me a fvcking favour.

AFC Wimbledon - for starting again, not putting up with the corpor8 franchise and getting to where they are now
Barnet - smashing little club, feels like a day trip to the country but it's on the tube
Shepshed Dynamo - just the name really
Dagenham and Redbridge - gr8 old fashioned ground
Leyton Orient - every Londoner's second club - perhaps just because they're a bit anonymous but good luck to 'em
