AC Milan


That's who I root for in Serie A.


Since I've moved back to the United States I've followed the EPL more than ever since the games are always on and most of my friends into soccer are fans too but I've really never been able to just pick a team and really be a fan.

I'm a huge AS Roma fan but that's from living in Rome for most of life.

I tend to enjoy certain EPL teams each year simply by which players they have (maybe like Zlatan and AC Milan for you?) in a given season. I tried to choose West Ham because I saw a Roma match there and their Hooligans were top shelf but it didn't really stick.

I've just never been able to be a big fan of a franchise where I don't really live but more a fan of certain players ect.

Liverpool definitely isn't a fan of you either, so I guess it'll all work out then.

I know what you mean, I like AC Milan because of Zlatan. I also got a chance to go to an AC Milan game in 07 to see them play Empoli. Granted it was before they had Zlatan and I wasn't as much a fan as I am now, but I got to see Ronaldo score a goal, which was pretty cool. Your right though, I feel like I mostly see EPL now, unless I'm on the computer, so I feel compelled to have a rooting interest in a certain team. I'm really thinking Chelsea, I just am not sure how I feel about the French nationals since the whole situation last world cup.

Do you have a sense of entitlement, blind arrogance, and the thought that your team can beat anyone in the world even if it's in the championship?

If so, I'd consider Newcastle.

They're exactly like the University of Florida football program. Nonexistent until recently but haughtily carry their noses up in the air and pretend they're God's greatest gift to top flight football.

And John Terry is the Anti-Christ.

Route for Fulhamerica. Although they have never really won anything important, and for some odd reason have a statue of Michael Jackson outside their stadium.

from a City supporter, I would suggest definitely pulling for Man City, but at the same time, I really would also suggest finding a smaller team to pull for. I've had more fun pulling for City the last 5-6 years, even when they were bad because I gutted out a lot of shite. Now that they're winning, it's definitely more appreciated.

Obviously, you don't want to be Red Scum. Chelski would be pretty high on my list because the Crazy Ruski will buy anything and will do anything to win. They have some good stalwarts and will have alot of fresh talent coming in.

Fulham would be fun to watch, although I don't see them winning anything soon.

Please, please don't pull for Arsenal or Spurs. Dear God, listening to gunners fans complain all the time is ridiculous and you'll never find yourself happy at all. Spurs fans are a little better, but honestly, i can't stand to watch them.

I like Liverpool alright, most of the their fans (BleedPurpleGold/TFTC) are awesome, others (shall remain nameless) are absolutely vile and just terrible, terrible fans. They consistently complain about other team's "money" yet overlook their recent splash and future splash in cash.

I don't think supporting any of the top 5-6 are wrong, but it definitely is fun to watch a team on the rise.

You could support QPR as they come into the EPL next year?

I enjoy them, mainly b/c they had Brian McBride and now have Clint Dempsey. They are known for carrying American born players, hence the nickname. But they will not be near the top of the table anytime soon if you want a winning team, lol.

Marcus Hahnemann - 1999-2001
Eddie Lewis - 2000-2002
Carlos Bocanegra - 2004-2008
Brian McBride - 2004-2008
Kasey Keller - 2007-2008
Clint Dempsey - 2007- present
Eddie Johnson - joined Fulham in 2008 (now on loan to Cardiff City)

Just shows their incompetence. Obviously Adebayor wasn't happy, look what he is doing with Real. There is some type of poison from the manager or in the locker room. I don't hate City at all, I was glad they beat the Red Scum. Too many of the moves make no sense, either personnel wise or financially.
