    And hope they win/do well ? And why

    ManUtd & Everton because it pisses Liverpool fans off
    Norwich City because nephew supports them
    Bath City because of a bird I wo shagging once
    Hearts, because I went to see them play when I was in Scotland once and met some good lads

    Dundee United, because of Arabian Ian. Also, Inverness CT, Ross County & Queen Of The South because of fantastic holidays and love of the areas.

    West Ham - supported them when I was 4 because my Dads saturday team played in their colours. And Bobby Moore was my first idol
    Rangers - everyone has a favourite Scottish team (I like DU too Arabian Ian)
    Bradford City - home town team.
    Torquay United - My Dad took me to see a pre-season friendly when I was 8.
    Halifax Town - they went under cos they owed £75k. I feel for any club that goes under for the amount a very average Prem Player gets PER WEEK
    Liverpool - didn't every kid like them in the 70's ? Not so much these days.
    York City - our nations capitol
    Barcelona - love them and everything they stand for
    Toronto - family reasons and I love the City.

    North Ferriby - Used to play for them and have done superbly well in recent years for a little village team.

    Hall Road Rangers - was involved with them at youth level but their fortunes seem to be polar opposites to North Ferriby.

    As in league clubs, I don't have any.

    Regarding foreign clubs, our household has a little fetish for Roma since we got BT Sport and seem to look out for them a lot

    AFC Wimbledon, just think it's amazing what they've done.

    Rangers due to my grandad supporting them and taking me to Ibrox many times as a young lad.

    Raith Rovers, Queen of the South, Dunfermline and Hearts (my other half is Scottish, so they are the teams of various family members, I'd consider Raith my Scottish team).
    Everton, whilst John Stones is there. Also, I am starting to like them anyway, for all the great stories that are coming out about their involvement in the community.
    Penistone Church, although I keep half an eye on all the local non-league teams
    And my mates' teams, although I don't necessarily care if they win, lose or draw, but I'm happy for my mates if their teams do something of note. So that's Arsenal, Spurs, Ipswich and Exeter.

    Actually, I also look out for the teams of ex-Reds players that I liked, specifically hoping that the individuals are doing well, rather than the clubs. Redfearn managing Leeds is giving me a real headache!

    And for other reasons I tend to be happy when Liverpool, Leeds, United and Wednesday, Leicester, Bolton and Brighton lose, as well as any team managed by Harry Redknapp, so I guess I look out for their results too.

    So even though I say I hate football nowadays I still keep an eye on the fortunes of a lot of clubs!

    Brentford used to live there and a pub on all four corners of the ground can't go wrong with that.

    Halifax - great team and sad story of how they went out of business

    Orient - used to love going there when i lived in London

    Hearts - cos I liked there colours when i was a kid.

    Wimvledon for coming back from the dead and I love Cherry Red Records

    Ajax because I used to go occasionally when I lived in London - it was actually cheaper than coming up to Oakwell...

    Celtic - been to upwards of 15 Celtic games, including loads of testimonials for the likes of Paul McStay, Brian McClair, Ronnie Moran, Martin O'Neill, etc.

    Man Utd and anyone David Beckham has played for. Although the love for Man Utd is dwindling with the policy of splashing loads of cash on foreign players

    Fiorentina and Real Madrid - had an obsession with anything purple so picked these teams up when I was around six years old an Italian Football was on Channel Four. Used to love Batistuta and Effenberg playing

    Bradford City - had season tickets at both Barnsley and Bradford in my mid teens

    Everton - great club, fans, and they've got the future England captain playing for them

    Wycombe Wanderers - I guess it's my local team (slightly closer than Watford) and they run football clubs for the community that my son has attended. They also seem to pick up ex-reds - currently Paul Hayes and previously Kevin Betsy, Martin Bullock and Andy Rammell

    Chesham United - my local non-league side - 3 divisions away from the league. You can drink beer on the terraces!

    Sheffield United. I know this wont go down well on here but I do have friends who follow them.

    And almost every foreign team I have seen United play except Roma. I hate the cheating scumbags with a passion.

    Frickley Athletic - I used to watch them a lot in the mid to late 1980s.

    Dundee FC - I picked them over Dundee United when I went to the city's university. I always prefer the underdog - sorry Arabian Ian!

    Belper Town - my eldest lad plays for one of their junior teams.

    Derby County - having been born in Derby both my boys support them. I did try and fight it but what can you do?!

    Paderborn - I like watching the Bundesliga highlights and this season they've reached the top flight for the first time on a limited budget so I've developed a bit of a soft spot for them.

    Any Spanish club that challenges the big 2. Was big on Valencia in the past & currently cheering on Atletico.

    Like to see Tenerife do well cos I've been there a lot.

    Got a soft spot for the Geordies.

    And then I like to see any academy lad who leaves Barnsley do well. E.G this season I check Everton, Huddersfield, Bury & Shrewsbury for Stones, Butterfield, Rose & Clark

    I used to watch Italian football highlights on channel 4 when I was younger and I used favour Juve so now I'll always look out for them.

    And Norwich City. I was born there and lived the first 9 and a half years of my life there.
