Let's adopt a club for the 19/20 season

[Solius]

I think we can all agree that this current season is looking like it will be the worst of a lot of our lifetimes and the summer looks a bit bleak as well right now. Everyone has their ways of coping, mine has been to completely ignore football for the majority of it but not following football daily is like losing a limb for me, so I was thinking why don't we pick a club to follow next season in a random European league. Somewhere like Romania, Finland, etc...

People can suggest clubs with the reasons why and we'll pick one and follow them for their season. Watch the games, learn the players, etc...

Leicester - they have a lot of character. Good young players and love opening envelopes.

 

[Raees]

Liverpool. Next year is our year.

 

[11101]

I've already got one, Inter, who are even more depressing than us .

 

[JJ12]

Sturm Graz

 

[PepsiCola]

Wolves.

 

[Solius]

I'm actually serious I think it would be fun.

It would have to be a team that we can find streams or highlights of.

 

[Red Star One]

Let's adopt a sport until United are competitive again.

 

[Cal?]

Consadole Sapporo, simply because Hokkaido is my favorite holiday destination

 

[Solius]

Japanese team is a good shout actually.

 

[Samid]

Molde. They play good football. We should aspire to play like them.

I may have unfollowed Man United and all our crap players on social media and I will no longer buy any club merchandise, tickets as long as Woody is in charge but I will never follow any club except United. By the way, I am an overseas / Asian fan that the Caf seems to like slating. Who’s the fecking plastic now eh?

 

[WolfInSharp'sClothing]

Wolves.

As a Wolves fan myself, I always like to pick a plucky little underdog to route for at the start of every season.

I might go with United for next season

 

[Solius]

Kawasaki Frontale have won the last two leagues. Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Kashima Antlers were the runners up. Antlers used to be good it seems looking at the league history.

 

[antohan]

I've already got one, Inter, who are even more depressing than us .

But you have The Pharaoh now

 

[FigmentOfYerImagination]

Club Brugge could be fun.


Just one problem. Has anyone figured out in what territory “Belgian” clubs have their matches anyway? There appears to be no real country in this region.



Note to self: indoctrinate daughter that her second nationality isn’t a real thing, but more like monopoly money and cosplay.

Still you.

 

[Zlatattack]

This is just sad. Lock please.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Crystal.Palace

Yeah, if you do night shifts

 

[Wanderlust_09]

Leicester and Wolves are surely on the rise. Leicester have a very young talented squad and Rodgers coming in seems to improve their prospects for next year. Also Everton seem to have found a gear under Silva, but the jury is still out. Southampton if they get their signings right would also be interesting to follow under a capable manager.

 

[promisedlanchiao]

Still you.

You are an overseas fan too Mr Canada

 

[Green_Red]

UCD in the Irish leagues. They are shit beyond belief and will make watching United a real treat.

 

[Solius]

This is just sad. Lock please.

We've adopted a club on here before as a bit of fun. I don't see the harm. I'm not saying we should stop supporting Utd but it's a way of getting a football fix and not simultaneously wanting to jump off a bridge.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Molde. Will be fun to see how they do without Ole at the wheel.

 

[Solius]

I just live here currently. I'm from the UK.

 

[Snowjoe]

Cheltenham Town, come watch us try escape the bottom half of the League 2 table

 

[promisedlanchiao]

Whatever you say......

 

[Samid]

Molde. Will be fun to see how they do without Ole at the wheel.

Guess he wasn't vital to their success.

 

[SirAF]

Whatever club Mourinho goes to.

Heheh, bite.

 

[sparx99]

AC Milan are fairly interesting with Paqueta, Romagnoli, Piatek etc.

 

[marukomu]

Japanese team is a good shout actually.

My local team is Fagiano Okayama. They're shite.

 

[Solius]

My local team is Fagiano Okayama. They're shite.

They sound it.

 

[GuyfromAustria]

Sturm Graz

I like this idea.

 

[Casanova85]

Barça if they secure De Ligt?

 

[Snowjoe]

Whatever you say......

 

[Hoof the ball]

Either Molde, or......... some random team from Brazil or Argentina would be cool.

Boca Juniors or River Plate is usually interesting. Atmosphere is always amazing. Sweet stadium.

 

[Steerpike]

As a Wolves fan myself, I always like to pick a plucky little underdog to route for at the start of every season.

I might go with United for next season

But we're neither plucky nor little.

 

[marukomu]

Just go and watch the womens' team. If enough go they might start showing highlights more.

 

[Canagel]

Whatever club Mourinho goes to.

Heheh, bite.

 

[SilentWitness]

I went to a couple of MK Dons games when i lived there, only cost a fiver for a midweek game. They're shite though.
