[quote="post-ante"]You made me choke on my coffee and spill it all over today's copy of the Mirror with the comment about Liverpool being the only Northern team left with loyal, local supporters. Loyal, local supporters my arse. I've read Ricky Tomlinson's autobiography, I'm not daft. Most the fans fly in by plane today and commute from Merseyside's leafy suburbs. If you're going to gel your hair and slick it back, do it right and be a United fan for God's sake. We may see eye to eye on Alex Ferguson. He's a Scotsman like you. That explains a lot. He can't control the notorious tribalistic Scottish temper. His behaviour recently has been particularly disgraceful and lacking in integrity and I hope he is replaced by a young gun soon.[/quote]

I don't have a favorite team in England, but have a weakness for teams as Tottenham, West Ham and Birmingham City. <br /> <br />I used to have the same feeling about Bolton Wanderers after their last promotion, but this disappeared as they never managed to reached their potential (for a team with such players they play awful football, Allardyce could've done more with it.). Most teams seem to be fairly equal when one takes the strengths and weaknesses of each team into account. Good for the competition, but also an outcome of inconsistent or just wrong policies; those clubs make it difficult for themselves to actually grow. Take Newcastle for instance, Souness hasn't really done a good job there hasn't he? Or the ever-sleeping giant Aston Villa, who've been struggling for years on end. The coming of Jol was a great relieve to the Spurs, who were in the same boat as Aston Villa. Mandaric's plaything, The Citizens of Manchester and the boys of Craven Cottage had to throw their great post-promotional ambitions in the trashcan while the former Rokerites didn't even have time to make ambitions, as their last Premiership run was unfortunately continued. <br />Everton was finally demasked this year, despite Moyes nice run. Middlesbrough has the UEFA-Cup to make it a victorious season, but I doubt that many would find a victory of the European booby prize as well as a midtable Premiership position a great achievement. And then there's WBA who'll have an exciting season, but definitely not the way they'll prefer it. Blackburn and Charlton are the everything nice to the sugar and spice, a nice addition with no real prospects besides maybe European football. Which is going to be a very hard contest as the first 5 slots (especially number one of course) seem already taken for the remainder of the year, and the competition (in which I hope the Hammers are included) is heavy. <br /> <br />Nevertheless, the Premiership is even besides the most famous clubs an interesting competition to follow; the entertainment on and off the field is probably not to be equalled to any other competition in the world. Therefore I'll probably keep watching til the day football dies.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>kevv729</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2006 1:19 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">eamonn <br /> <br />I knew what You where talking about.
