Your Team?

First game?
Most memorable game?

What of your team now?

Here's mine:

Fav player?

Spurs! the only decent team in north London

Why?

Family come from a long line of Spurs supporters as we lived in Edmonton and Cheshunt. The training ground used to be up the road from where I lived until they moved. Ground is now Tescos haha.

For How long?

Since I can remember!

First game?

I can't remember, it was during the 70s when we were in the old division 2 for a season and it was cheap. I remember the first game I went to on my own. It was v Chelsea in 1981, a few weeks before the cup final. We won 4-0 iirc.

Most memorable game?

Two spring to mind. The UEFA cup final v Anderlecht in 1984. Everyone remembers this game for Tony Parks penalty save but it was Roberts equaliser that sent the all stadium into orbit. I really thought the stand was going to collapse.

The other was to be the FA cup semi v Arsenal 91. With only one defeat all season, Arsenal were tipped for the double but Paul Gascoigne had other ideas. Linker got 2 and we beat them 3-1. Shame that 2 seasons later the Donkey got his revenge so soon.

Worst game?

FA Cup v Port vale.

Fav player?

Chris Waddle - Thanks Newcastle. Shame he never played with both Gasgoigne and Lineker. Gutted when he left but he surely was a supeb player.

What of your tem now?

After 2 great seasons, the bubble burst. I'm sure it happened for a reason. When i heard about MJ's fitness training.. which was non-existent, things started to make sense as to why they never lasted for than 60 minutes. A bit like myself

Although we've had problem in defence this season, relying too much on King coming back to fitness, we look fitter and more robust than we've looked in ages. The defence looked diciplined this weekend and we were soo unlucky (Man U). I'm hoping we will see better times ahead. Sometimes we all need a step back to progress.

Com'n you Spurs!!!!!

Your Team?

If someone sat me down and explained I'd be shot if I didn't support a team: Spurs.

Why?

Half my family come from that part of London, the other half come from West Ham, and they have horrid colours.

For How long?

Since before birth.

First game?

Yet to happen.

Most memorable game?

Er, 5-1 against Arsewipe I think I heard recently?

Worst game?

Every other game?

Fav player?

I couldn't name a single player from the last decade, so I'll gow ith Hoddle, to pair with Huddy.

What of your team now?

Are they above West Ham? If so, good.

Matblack · 04-02-2008, 17:02

Horses head in the post!

Creature · 04-02-2008, 17:05

Your Team?

Man Utd

Why?

They were in the first game I watched at age 4, can't remember who they played though.

For How long?
17 years now

First game?

vs Spurs....guess which one Huddy

Most memorable game?

Champions League Final '99. No further explanation needed.

Worst game?

In recent memory, vs Wolves. Worst I saw was the same Spurs game I first attended

Fav player?

Schmeichel, being a goalkeeper, I had no other choice really.

What of your tem now?

The last 1 1/2 seasons have been great, apart from some bad results against bottom teams. We've got an incredible amount of young talent now, not far different from the 99 team.

Our defence is rock solid 99% of the time, which hasn't happend since Schmeichel left, because we finally have a top quality keeper. We will win the league this year, and if not, I really hope Chelsea don't.

karbon · 04-02-2008, 17:10

Your Team?

Celtic

Why?

family and friends were all Celtic daft growing up

For How long?

i'm sure i had some sort of celtic bibs or baby grows.

First game?

Most memorable game?

celtic - Hibs scottish cup final replay at ibrox. i got hit by a car driven by a hibs fan.

Worst game?

getting pumped by inver cali thistle

Fav player?

What of your tem now?

And does the head come with wall fixings?

Haly · 04-02-2008, 17:40

I don't have a team and I really wish I did

Which probably sounds daft.
I love watching football these days, especially when England's playing but I miss not having a team to root for week in week out. Unfortunately, there's no family tradition for a team so i miss out there.
When I was a kid, I went through periods of supporting loads of different teams but a lot of the time I was just glory hunting really

I envy you lot
