Who would be your second team

[johntheclaret]

Another silly nonsense thread, but after the club you support / follow, who would be your second team:

I ask because of an article in the clarets programme yesterday which was actually about songs fans sing. It raised a point about the claret fans singing "No one like us, no one likes us, no one like us, but we don't care, cos we are Burnley super burnley, we are Burnley, from the north", when in fact the away games we have played this year we have had a pretty good reception with plenty of well wishes for the year.

My second team, good question, probably Liverpool. I watched them through their heady days in the 70's and 80's and I developed such a respect for them as a team and a club. The likes of highway, Keegan, Toshack, Callaghan, Kennedy, and laterly Rush, Dalgliesh, Souness, Barnes, great great club players.

Others that I have some, if only small, sence of affinity with would be Tottenham, as mentioned elsewhere, Leicester (they were the side I followed when I lived in Australia, and only changed from them when I realised how far they were from where I lived in the UK), Derby for thier great chant to the Villa fans. (bit of history here: Burnley played Derby in the cup at the baseball ground. I was there, we were in division 3 and Derby were in division 1. We lost 3 -1, I think, but we were so happy at the way the team played and tried thier guts out, we stayed on after the game for the best part of 3/4 of an hour chanting Jimmy Mullins claret and blue army. Anyway a short time later it was reported that during the Villa v Derby league game, the Villa fans started singing so and so's claret and blue army, to which the Derby fans started singing Jimmy Mullins claret and blue army. It still makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck, and I always wished I could have been there to hear it.)

Dont really have a second team and never have, although will probably adopt Burnley

Whilst I don't have an affinity with any of them, I enjoy watching games involving Arsenal or Tottenham even Man City or Villa.

I know there are our rivals (well at least in there minds), but I see the rival more as a big brother/little brother type rival so I would say Fulham or maybe Sunderland

Burnely

Thought you would have opted for Forest Jabber. They have so much in common with the Rams. You even share the same manager

as a villa supporter, im not going to say birmingham, or west brom. but simply for some of the players they have playing for them and the style they play which is great to watch id have to say arsenal!!

fabregas, rosicky, van persie, bendtner, vermaleen all great to watch and especially arshavin

Well my 2nd team is Anderlecht.
Having an old man from Liverpool is why I support Liverpool.
My mum is from Soignies so that's why I support Anderlecht also.

If I had to choose another team from the UK as my 2nd team it would be.

[nuggety goodness]
