Title: which team should i pick ?
Post by: lazaroonie on August 09, 2010, 02:18:11 PM
watching the build up and highlights of the championship over the weekend, i think it could be a really exciting season, with a lot of highs and lows for all teams. I reckon anyone of about 15 teams could win or be promoted. With this in mind i have decided to follow one...i just dont know which one.

At the moment there are a few possibilities, but i am willing to be influenced by anyone putting a strong case for me adding my support to their club (or if you vehemently opposed to me following your club that will also be considered)

anyway, a few contenders

notts forest : I like nottingham as a place. i also have huge respect for Clough, and often think they should be a premiership team...

middlesboro : so many ex-celts and ex-celt manager. But they have signed Kris Boyd which is a minus

Leeds united : it is fashionable to hate leeds. But I have a lot of family in Leeds and have been to quite a few games over the years, going as far back as about 1985.

Norwich : I believe Celtic missed a trick by not offering Lambert the job. For that reason, they are on my shortlist.

QPR : I have a few friends who are big QPR fans and they are top lads.

Coventry : Another team i have watched on a number of occasions. They were generally crap, but still enjoyed it.


any others ?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the avatar on my left.

Expectations are always low too, so success is always guaranteed!

Crystal Palace - almost guarenteed that it will either be a brush with the play-offs or a close shave with relegation, or some other big drama that seems to happen every season to our club - oh and we have George Burley and Dougie Freedman as our manager/coach  ;D

you had me at momo sylla...no need for jock wallace lol

was at probably one of the first games at the walkers stadium i think - Leicester Played Coventry. I was wined and dined the gary linekar suite. This was during my heavy gambling days and the wee ladbrokes girl came to the table to collect any bets. There were a few first scorer tenners, and correct score forecast types, all small stakes...

i hand over my slip and 500 quid in scottish tenners...I bet the 1-1 draw, leicester scored in the last minute, so leicester can go fk themselves....lol. actually for that matter, so can coventry.

(this would have been back in late 2002 if my memory is right)..

2002 is correct

£500 at the Walkers Ladbrokes would have sent a few minions scurrying to their phones!

I'd say Forest but you called us Notts Forest :tikay:

Scunthorpe for an "interesting" season...

Disgraceful calling us Notts!!!!

Sure fire way to piss us Forest fans off, oh and by the way, steer clear of us this season.

Burnley for me.

Cardiff - So much off the field turmoil some real stars especialy going forward in danny drinkwater,koumas,mcphail,whittingham[can goto forest if you give us a tenner for that waste of space] and chris burke they have argubarly the best midfield in the championship. Chopra and jayboothroyd surely have to be the best strikers. And as we have a terrible defence [apart from super kevin mcnaugton] and a keeper who cant catch a ball from a corner we only have one option to attack.

Definitely not Palace.

Any team that made the world aware of the two scumbags Ron Noades and Simon Jordan should not be touched with bargepoles.

i would add peter ridsdale to that category, which rules out cardiff...

Avoid Leeds unless you like a world of pain and 10000000's of haters like the camel.
