I felt for AFC Wimbledon yesterday.
Lose your ground, homeless.
Then your club fks off to Milton Keynes so you start your own club from scratch.
You do well and get into the league.
Promoted again.
You finally finish building your own ground. A new home at last.
Worldwide pandemic and fans cant attend.
Thought it was a shitter for us in our stadium but thats worse. They've been waiting years.
Edit. I'd like to see them go up to the Championship and MK Dons go down. There's karma for ya.

Always had a soft spot for Leyton Orient. It's where I came from but the lure of THFC was too strong.

In the EPL I feel a slight affinity with Everton who continually endure shit from the red side of Liverpool. Thankfully, we've got that monkey off our back.

Soft spot for Reading as that’s who my wife supports and where she’s from, plus I liked Darren Caskey.

Never had an issue with Fulham, I think they're quite a likeable team, even more so with Parker in charge.

I've admired Southampton and how they go about finding a decent manager and producing strong teams by bringing through their academy players. I find their fans hatred for us very odd though.

My mum's side of the family are Millwall fans (I know, I know) so I've always kept an eye on their results.

Reading I always like to see get promoted to the prem as theyre the closest decent side to me in terms of where I live and grew up.

I lived in High Wycombe and will always look out for Wycombe. The 4-3 game in the cup in the last WHL season was a fantastic game for me, also the last time I went to old WHL which feels quite poetic looking back at it.

AFC Wimbledon and Orient are also clubs I will always hope to do well.

As for fellow or recent PL sides, none really come to mind. Reading are about as inoffensive as it gets and I did like Swansea when they came up and were a real breath of fresh air but I was very indifferent to them by the time they were relegated.

Yeah I'm similar to that as well.

I think its just the overwhelming support for liverpool and United here. Glory hunters mostly.

I don't mind wee Fulham.

Fulham are OK now that the pillock Al Fayad is gone. Statue of Michael Jackson? Seriously?

It's hard to like other premier league teams when they're inherently rivals for league points. It's good to see underdogs like Villa and Leeds doing well to shake things up. Villa smashing 7 past Liverpool was wonderful!

I don't like any other Club per se but can respect how they operate and what they stand for, but obviously dislike some a lot more than others

Aston Villa, half the british family is from Birmingham the other half North London so both teams have a special place in my heart.

I've already mentioned that S****horpe are pretty much my second team.

My Grandad and Dad are both from there, and I've had plenty good times following them about. The first football match I ever got dragged to was S****horpe V Cambridge, back in the old 4th Division, in '87. Since then I've seen them play at Wembley twice, FA Cup ties against Chelsea, Leeds, Man Utd and Newcastle... and a pitch invasion when they won promotion to the Championship.

They're not a particularly remarkable club, but there's an element of old school romance about them, with storied players like Ray Clemence (yiddo), Kevin Keegan, Alex Calvo Garcia and even Ian Botham making their names there. And of course Scunny was Burkinshaw's first coaching job.

Beyond them, I have similar family interests in Leeds (my Dad) and Newcastle (the entire Mam's side of the family). I have soft spots for AFC Wimbledon and Brentford, having been my local clubs in my time living down here in London. And further abroad I keep my eye on Borussia Monchengladbach, that being my gaff while I was growing up in Germany.

Swindon are my 2nd team, not only because my Dad used to live there so I saw them a few times, but the Hoddle and Hazard links
