Do you support a 2nd team?

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I'd say Bristol Rovers, but I rarely pay attention to them, especially since they got relegated again :roll: I keep an eye on Reading or Blackpool more often. Glad Reading beat dirty Leeds yesterday.

Soft spot for Dagenahm (as my home town) and also Everton as I see them as having a bit of class with a lot of history (kinda Arsenal of the north).

The second team that I support are the team at UEFA working on the Financial Fair Play rules because they're the answer to life, the universe and everything, and when they rise up from their benches the sun will shine, Gazidis and Wenger will dance with joy and we'll be rewarded with success beyond belief.

The only team I would promote above them are the team for the prosecution working on the tax evasion case for old melted cheese face. They get my full support :barscarf: :barscarf:

My second team is Brentford, I started watching them when I was three and I still do now. I think it is possible to love two teams as long as one is a perennial underachiever like the Bees, so they never play each other and split your loyalty.

My whole family were Bees, both my grandad and my dad worked the turnstiles as kids - but I converted them all to The Arsenal.

I also have a soft spot for QPR as I used to go with some mates from school when we were away ( or to Chelsea) & I used to like the new years day derbies in the 70's & 80's.

I'll always love Arsenal the most though, I've been going for 32 years and seen good times and bad (people forget the Don Howe years and the last two of George were effing terrible) and I'll probably keep going until I die - as my Dad says - there's always next season.

I've been to a few Shrewsbury Town games as my son has been with their Centre of Excellence/Academy for the last 2/3 seasons and we get free tickets for the home league games :D .

This week he has just been awarded a 2 year scholarship so he's hopefully on his way to a career in football.Very tough to make it but at least he has a chance. Both still mad Gooners fans though.Travelled down to the Carling Cup game on the Shrewsbury Town Official Supporters Club coach with our Arsenal shirts hidden underneath. :barscarf:
