I quite like Norwich. Particularly when Ricky van Dogsdick played for them.

Same here ... have no problem with Norwich. Have a slight dislike for Sheffield United as they are forever tainted by the days of Colin.

I like Sheffield United. They play good football under an English manager and every single player in their squad is British or Irish.

I meant to mention when looking at the lineups on Monday every player in WBA's starting XI was English apart from Hal, which you can't see very often. Had no idea Sheff u were similarly old fashioned

And Hal is only welsh via a grandparent. Born and lived in centre of London I believe

Norwich always seem to have nice kits so they are more appealing on the eye for me.

Of all the reasons to support a team, that's very low down on my list. But each to their own.

Having sustained a prolonged and probably irrational loathing of Colin over many years, any club who has ever employed him in the last 20 years is on my hate list. God knows what I'd do if he ever rocked up at the Mad Stad. So that knocks out both Sheffield United and Leeds.

That's how I picked teams to support when I was at Primary school. :D

Fair play to both Norwich and Sheff Utd

Two of the more likeable promoted teams of recent times?

Or maybe that’s just relative to the teams just behind them...

With you on that.
We’d never employ him, he’d never accept a job with us but I would find it very difficult to go to games if he was managing Reading. Even if he was getting us promoted again.

It's West Brom all the way in the play-offs for me. Can't stand Leeds or Villa and imagine the fawning oxf*rd if "Frank Lampard's Derby" win it

They are certainly the least offensive team in the play-offs.

I'm with you. West Brom up hopefully. Shame they sacked their manager.

Agreed. Every other team has at least one loathsome element to them.

Villa for example, not only have some of the most cnutish, entitled fans in England, they have that ghastly pinched faced racist as an assistant manager.

Imagine what it was like growing up in Warwickshire with Villa fans being in the majority. Generally those that went on to be criminals or low paid muppets were the villa fans.

What on earth didn’t the Birmingham fans go on to become then ? Politicians ?

I always assumed Villa were the choice of the glory hunting armchair Brummie on account of winning something about 40 years ago.

+1 for the WBA appreciation. The only one of the 4 who aren't completely detestable, although it's only really Leeds that I want to see fcuk it up.
