    Arsenal for me. My grandfather was a blacksmith by profession and was actually a blacksmith at the Woolwich Arsenal. He saw Arsenal play when they were called Woolwich Arsenal and played in Plumstead in South East London before they moved north. He was a great character and full of interesting stories.

    Only my local club Cheltenham Town. Go to games now and again with friends who are fans. No comparison to watching the City but a keep an eye open for their results.

    My local team too in Cheltenham Town plus Cardiff City, Swansea City, Newport County, Wrexham and Borussia MonchenGladbach

    I always look out for Pompeys result after three great years down there as a student in the early 80s. I had a brief spell after the cup final where I wished them Ill fortune, but now I wish them well. Fratton Park was very similar to Ninian.

    I try and go and watch Merthyr at least a few times a season, and sticking with non league I always enjoyed watching Worcester City when my daughter lived up there.

    No one really but through the 90’s and 00’s I always felt for Man City fans, having to share a city with Man Utd must have been a nightmare so always wanted them to do well. Suffice to say I don’t really feel sorry for them anymore.... I hope they win the champions league and that’s about it.

    Norwich for me, having been to university there. Would love them to perform the great escape this season but cant see it unfortunately.

    Juventus. Bought a knock off Juve kit from someone who'd been to Italy when I was 15 and have consistently bought knock off Juve kits since. My girlfriend bought me my first real one last year so I've currently got 2 knock off and 1 real

    Ditto on Pompey for almost exactly the same reasons.. I was a student there from 82-85.. Fratton Park was a great place to watch a game back then. I lived in Milton, North End, Southsea and Bateson Halls of Residence in my time there.

    In 83 we both got promoted... We played them towards the end of the season and drew 0-0. I remember the team bus driving through the street that day and Bob Hatton in particular waving at us as they went past. Was also the day that city fans dismantled the clock at the back of the Milton End.

    That season was also the season Newport looked like they’d go up - they beat us 1-0 at Somerton and looked certainties but fell away... they never got close again

    Yep, Man City for me, family connections but the shite they had to bear for years on their own doorstep seemed to make their support stronger, which I admired. Now it’s like a decent, ‘same as you’ type family winning the lottery yet staying down to earth ( their long standing fans anyway).

    Exact same 3 years as I was there. First year I was in QEQM Hall and next two years in Southsea. All 3 City games down there were great days with the clock game going down in history. I panicked after that game though when the police marched us all back to Fratton Railway station, to stick us on the train. They wouldn't belief me that I lived there. I had to give them my full evening itinerary of where I was going on the piss before they'd believe me. Nell Gwynn, Bold Forester, The apsly, Cambridge, Owens, The Parade. They all got a visit that night!!
