You have obviously missed your medication again, even more garbled than normal - just keep on challenging the windmills

No I'll support my local teams, you know, ones you can actually get on a bus to go and watch, not some overpaid egotistical bunch of trophy mercenaries, supported by a bunch of chumps who have deserted their roots

Have you forgotten that you have previously stated that you supported LIverpool?
Perhaps you should get your medication changed

Barrie I support 19 Premier league clubs in turn, depending who they are playing that weekend

[DaveinGermany]

National express to Liverpool, then the 19/19A to Robson st for Anfield, I believe there's even a designated match bus for home games.

Jay, as I respect your knowledge and views as to which clubs one should support - i.e. Home Town club. I would really appreciate your views on a somewhat difficult one to work out as to who you think they should support:
1st Son born in Blackburn, but family lived in Church (Rovers or Stanley), 2nd Son born in Sheffield, lived there for 7 months (Wednesday or United), 3rd Son born in Norwich, lived there for 5 years.
As it happens they all inherited brains and support United, one even has a season ticket, another goes to all the games in London and the occasional one at OT (and takes his Dad), and the 3rd one is in the wilds of the West Country

Think the common denominator there Barrie is the plastic father

Didn't realise it took brains to become a Glory Hunter Barrie?

Let them survive on their own - and export all the natives of those countries back to where they originate from

Best, Giggs, Keane, Law, Busby, Ferguson, McQueen, Jordan, Macari.... to name but a few.

Can I be the first to greet you in your native tongue......Hee-Haw!

All teams would then be on a level playing field and teams like United, NN, Scousers and the other top clubs would get the pick of the crop

You said that people should support their "Home Town Team" - will ask it simpler this time.
How do you define "Home Town Team".
If the objective isn't to win, what is the point in taking part?
Surely every team wants to be successful so how do you measure success, is it avoiding relegation or winning trophies?

[cashman]

Success at a team like Stanley, who are punching way above there weight, given resources, is Staying in the football league. of course the objective is to win,if yeh can!. Plastics objective is more "Has to win" Theres the difference, Wi a team like Stanley i call it Sport.

Trophies aren't won they're bought Barrie, would Fergie have been so successful at Stanley or Bury, not a snowball in hells chance. There's no doubt that he's a good manager, but without money he's just an also ran, the reason Rovers did well was Kenny and Ray plus Jack Walkers money, and that's the same at any successful club, Chelsea were going nowhere until Abramovich arrived, nor where City before the Arabs came along, anybody who thinks their team can win the Premier League, with just a good manager are living on cloud cuckoo land, as are those who thing they can win it with just loads a money, you have to have both elements to succeed
