I think anyone who doesn't support a football team at least in their own city is pretty shit.

How can you genuinely feel allegiance to a club that is nowhere near you and you can't go there for games regularly?

The only non-local team I support is San Antonio Spurs

and is because Ginobili reminds me of my dad and Duncan & Parker of my Uncle and Finley like my granpa

so it feels like they are my family
>>
>>66162605
I hate my local team.
>>
I live in Buffalo NY... for MLS that leaves the NY Red Bulls... in fucking New Jersey... Or Toronto FC... about 3 hours away.

NFL: I do have a little hope for the Bills, but fuck the stadium management. They're a bunch of assholes.

MLB: Baseball is dead anywhere outside of the city in this state.

NHL: Between the Bills and the Sabers it's basically as if you want me to off myself every summer at the end of both seasons. How much loosing can one city take?
>>
i support the team i was born nearest to

that happens to be manchester united though

Go eat some nachos and watch baseball

I live in Columbus but root for the LA Lakers whose twin city is Manchester so I'm a Manchester United fan.

As a lifelong Bolton fan, I would not recommend it. I'm from Milton Keynes and supported the Dons once they moved but always supported the wanderers as a kid because my dad played for them and my family is there so we only went to wanderers games.

meant something before players were traded the way are, means nothing now.

>>66174622
If you can start pooping 15 minutes before kickoff and still walk to the stadium in time, then it's your local team.
>>
>>66174674
there's literally no club that fits that criteria m8.
>>
>>66174668
you still need 4 club youth players and 4 national youth players to participate in european competitions. Not much, but it's something

>>66174725
Maybe for you.

You've shown integrity, plenty would have glory hunted and chosen Man City.
>>
I used to live close enough to the stadium I had to watch the games with windows closed and cover my ears hard whenever there was a corner or set piece because otherwise I would hear the cheers/cries from the attendance just an instant before they were shown on tv/internet and I would constantly get goals spoiled. Thank god I live in a nicer area further away now
>>
>>66176347
so why didnt you actually go to the matches?

whats the special difference between your flag and someone elses flag only watching a match through a TV?
>>
>>66174456
The Sabres (Hockey team) are on the Up and up, football they've been bad for a long time but aren't going to get relocated so you could root for that. I root for Toronto FC for soccer and Bluejays for baseball.

You disgusting creature. I've even was part time supporting Torino FC and you don't want to move your ass and watch a match with your pals at Stadio Olimpico.

>>66176388
I used to go with my grandpa when I was a kid and still go, only occasionally, if someone lends me his membership or I somehow get free tickets for a big game. But I'm old now and I sincerely prefer to watch the games comfy at home. I really don't give a fuck anymore about >muh live atmosphere and shiet

Last season I only went to the game vs bayern, which was great, and the game vs malaga iirc, which was absolute shit, and both times because someone failed in the very last minute and got offered a free ticket
>>
>>66176581
That's actually good. Supporting Barcelona is the worst thing in the world. You should also stop watching them in tv.
