What do you guys think about Middlesbrough or Charlton Athletic? I think they might win the premiership a few years from now and I can say that I am a die hard fan. For a jersey, Arjen Robbins's Holland jersey really looks nice to me. But, will the shirts change right before the WC 2006? If they do I think I'll by a Middlesbrough or Charlton Ahletic now and then Robbins's during the WC next summer.
now that's a rod attempt if i ever saw one :mellow:Quote:

Watch that team again and see if you're drawn to them when they play against a different team. If so, follow their progress in the Premier League.
You might find yourself 'following' a number of teams, which is great. Eventually the teams you're following will play against each other and you can see which team you want to win that match.
Eventually you'll decide which team is your favourite.
i wasn't saying don't support them. Middlesbrough are a good team and have consistantly surpassed expectations for the past few years, and i believe Yakubu is one of the finest strikers in the PremiershipQuote:

Yesterday I saw some kid with
"I

Liverpool"
on his NUFC top. It was funny but then I realised there is no way I would have "Liverpool" written on my NUFC top even if it was taking the piss out of them.
There's no way I'd eat Liverpool. It's full of scousers.
Yuck.

Number 11, he use to be 19 but he's now and will continue to be number 11.
Excellent, Robben it is. I talked to a friend today(Liverpool fan), and he said I'm a fool for being a Middlesbrough or Charlton fan(haven't decided). He said I should be a 'good' teams fan. My dad's cousins(in England) are Chelsea and Man U fans. So I had to be different.
I started supporting Chelsea back when i was a wee nipper. I wanted a team that was in the top half of the premiership, maybe in a European cup spot and local to me. At the time Chelsea were usually about 4th and 5th and they were local thats why i support them.
It's up to you really, watch some teams play and pick a team that you like. A lot of people like Arsenal because they play very nice attractive, entertaining football. A lot of people like Man Utd because they've won stuff in the past.
Liverpool has the largest fan basis of all the clubs in Englang thanks to 4 Champsions League wins in the late 70's and early 80's.
By the way there was the yearly FIFPRO awards handed out a few nights ago.
FIFPro World XI.
Goalkeeper:
Nelson Dida (Brazil/AC Milan)
Defenders:
Cafu (Brazil/AC Milan)
Alessandro Nesta (Italy/ AC Milan)
John Terry (England/Chelsea)
Paolo Maldini (Italy/AC Milan)
Midfielders:
Ronaldinho (Brazil/Barcelona)
Frank Lampard (England/Chelsea)
Claude Makelele (France/Chelsea)
Zinedine Zidane (France/Real Madrid)
Forwards:
Samuel Eto'o (Cameroon/Barcelona)
Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine/AC Milan)
@Manker - 3 Chelsea players, 0 Man Utd :01:
Rooney was voted best young player tho, Ronaldinho was voted player of the year. Cristiano Ronaldo was given a special young player award and worst diver in the premiership awards. Pele got some best footballer ever award as well.
thanks, but I think its too early in the season to judge if Charlton and Middlesbrough will stay on the top half of the table
i kinda support Boro just because i think Steve Mclaren is a good coach, and also because i thought his predecessor, Bryan Robson, had the genius ability of bringing in real quality players with virtually no budgetQuote:

Middlesbrough-Aiyegbeni Yakubu

Charlton - team shirt
Also consider getting a Stuart Downing Middlesbrough shirt. Downing = Teh roxc00rz
Charlton & Middlesbourough will be like 7th max and about 14th lowest.
If you want a good team and don't want to be a glory hunter i'd support either Liverpool & Newcastle, both are great teams with great fans. Newcastle win the odd Carling Cup or so but usually spend like £40 mill a year on new players (and they just signed Owen), Liverpool have some good players but they don't have a decent striker.
Why not a national teams jersey like the Three lions or Brazils ? Can't go wrong with Holland or Germany either .

I have decided, and am bidding this week for these:
Robben Holland jersey(Home #11)
India Cricket Jersey
Germany Away jersey (black)
I'll buy an EPL team jersey in a bit, after the teams have played a bit more and I can see which team I like.
Nice, like i said if i didn't support Chelsea i'd support Newcastle or Liverpool as they both have great support, like to spend money and have a few decent players.
I found 2 types of jerseys by Germany. I saw one that was Black and maroon and one a red like Spain. If anybody has an idea which one will be used in WC2006 or if the red is fake.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany..._football_team
it's apparently red at the moment
In that case I'll get a red Kuranyi jersey then. or white ballack
I got my jerseys in october, and I want to thank you all. I decided to get jersey's from countries because I havent decided on a team. I forgot to upload them before so here:
