Northampton Town. I was there in 1970, the George Best game when he scored 6. I had my United scarf on. I saw United before I saw 'The Cobblers' play, so United have always been my team.If so i& f they played United, who would you want to win & why..?
Whatever happened to that lad? He looked promising.Coleraine FC, I'm a Belfast native, but I used to visit my grandparents on Saturdays & my Grandfather (a United supporter himself) used to take me to the matches... it's also the ground where at the Milk Cup I watched a young Ryan Wilson play fairly well.
I'd want United to win anything other than a friendly.
I have a soft spot for Oldham. Like to see them do well.
Do you even like football?
Which stand?This.
I was at that game as well and I celebrated when Beckham scored. He was my idol.
West stand.Which stand?
I remember it well. Best's first game after a lengthy suspension and he does that. Brian Kidd's double was pretty good too. The funniest part was Northampton's goalie was the brother of the then City captain, Tony Book.Northampton Town. I was there in 1970, the George Best game when he scored 6. I had my United scarf on.

Am I correct in that ADO has a huge hatred for Ajax? Passed by the stadium a few months ago. Nice city as well.ADO Den Haag, because I'm from Den Haag. I don't support them when they play Feyenoord, though I don't really care if they win. They have the greatest cult figure of all time in Tom Beugelsdijk.
used to wonder what happened to them used to remember them from my early years in champs leagueIFK Gothenburg.
Incredibly successfull in the 80's where they won the UEFA Cup twice(82,87) and got to semis in the European Cup where they lost to Barcelona after fecking up a 3-0 lead in the first leg and went to Barcelona and lost on penalties. Also won their group in 94/95 with teams like United, Barcelona and Fenerbache.
Sadly, it all went to shit after the successes in the 80's and 90's. They used their money incredibly bad and have been on the brink of relegation a few times, like last year. Had to sell their training ground and the financial struggles were at the level where they had to fire their own chef.
This year all the fans and the media projected them to be relegated and the financial struggles remain. However, they have had a massive year so far 12 games into the season sitting at 4th at 6 points behind Malmö on the top after 12 games including most of the top teams, with a very young squad and a manager(Poya Ashbagi, who turns 34 this year.
They have a very exciting prospect named Alhassan Yusuf, an 18 year old light version of N'Golo Kante who I wish United kept an eye on. Ajax and Barcelona are reportedly interested. Other prospects who have been excellent worth noting are Benjamin Nygren(ST/RM, 17 yrs), Giorgi Kharaishvili(LW, 22 yrs) and Patrik Karlsson Lagemyr (CAM, 22yrs). These players will hopefully save the clubs finances with their inevitable sales. However, they have relative low prices at the range of £2-£5m pounds and but could be worth a punt for a few bigger teams.
Turned out to be an essay of a post, but it makes me happy to see the club turn things around after almost 25 years of misery.
Yes, they very much do. The Hague and Amsterdam don't really like each other in general. But that's mostly because people from Amsterdam are cnutsAm I correct in that ADO has a huge hatred for Ajax? Passed by the stadium a few months ago. Nice city as well.
I don't suppose you remember the European Cup semi in 1966 do you?Partizan Belgrade, although the club has lost its identity so much that I don't really care anymore.
Approaching the same point with United.
Was born 22 years after thatI don't suppose you remember the European Cup semi in 1966 do you?
Yep, Kim Book it was, I remember one of the goals, when Best shimmied his hips as he went through on goal, and Kim Book dived, Best just took the ball to the line and flicked it home. He looked a bit fed up by then did Besty, so it must have been one of the later goals.I remember it well. Best's first game after a lengthy suspension and he does that.

Correct. Well doneim guessing most folks 2nd team are their local team.
You forgot FC Pep.Columbus Crew.
Redbulls are a New Jersey team with no connections to New York. NYCFC... Not supporting a City surrogate. And I'm definitely not supporting a Boston team.
