Q. I'm looking to get more into watching football. Which team should I support?
A. The simple answer is, support whoever you want. But crucially, pick a team and stick with them, through the good times and the bad. If you change allegiances as soon as your chosen team has a bit of a hard time, you won't experience what it's truly like to be a fan. Besides, it just makes the good times all the better.


Bring on the rest of the new season!

I am predicting here now that that bad run Chelsea has been having is going to come to an abrupt end pretty soon and all you guys will start to feel silly.

The street on which the hotel City are using is ground to a halt today as people waited to see the team.

One man got some particular attention.
 
Just signed up in the CL Fantasy League

My crappy starter team:

---------------------------Casillas-------------------------------
----Rafinha------Vertonghen----Thiago Silva------Bianchetti
----Busquets------Bender-----Noccerino---------Xabi Alonso
-------------Messi------------------------Chicharito------------

United fans be scarce these days. Where you at broz!?
The way things are going, we are already banned. Regardless, reporting in! Looking forward to Benfica tonight, possibility of Berbatov getting a game. I'm craving a triumphant return to form, resulting in a run of games and hat tricks...however unlikely it is.

The return of twitter wars is unexpected, but appreciated. If one of the players posted that CFC tweet there would be trouble.

Also: I'm disappointed by the lack of 'Blatter problems' in the title, it was perfect.

I want Bayern to humiliate Villarreal, and City to break Cavani's legs. Lavezzi too, if possible (no pressure).

Great thread title, I still wish we could get further away from the Man City crap. They are not deserving of four titles in a row.

Chelsea's game against Liverpool was pretty bad :( And if City keeps destroying like they are the title will be out of reach before too long.

Just can't finish worse than 4th I would think... I guess that would be a decent result for this season.
