I'd probably pick either Everton, Fulham or Barnet.

I guess it would have to be Leyton Orient but I think I'd be too upset that my West Ham was taken from me to support anyone else.

I just moved house and now live 5 minutes walk from the ground of a Southern League Premier Division team, so would probably get a season ticket there.

Failing that, maybe Blues as I work 20 minutes from the ground.

I'd pick Wolves, solely because back in the glory days of football manager I took them on to greatness and would hope someday it happens for them

Edinburgh City. They're strawberry floating dire but I'm used to supporting shite clubs.

Either that or Celtic, could use the Hibs-Catholic link as reasoning for being a glory hunter.

It'd never be the same, potentially it would be a way out instead of just going into a new abusive relationship :lol:

If a club either Arsenal or Tottenham's size folded there would be tens if not hundreds of thousands of fans displaced to loads of different clubs (bar any of the other top six I'd imagine), so you'd probably have a diaspora.

Another injured defender :toot:

Lovely pass and finish there. Expected Lukaku to just belt it at the defenders shins.

Shocking goals aside we've been decent, really needed to get that goal before half time.

I know it's a cliche, but the luck we have with injuries is appalling. Both centre halves injured in the same game, and another CB and first choice RB already out with an ACL. A could of years ago we had no midfield, and another year we had four full backs out all at once. It's not so much the number or severity of the injuries, just the concentration in one area of the team.

I do like the fact that our shithouse quotient has been steadily rising over the past few years.

Good game. I think Koscielny's injury changed the pace of the second half, we were hammering on the door but after the delay we started to chug.
