Actually had no retort
Let's adopt a club for the 19/20 season
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date
How about Benfica?
Bit of a strange conclusion. He still laid the foundation there and he was there for half the season. The upcoming two or three seasons will determine how much of it was down to him imho.
Guess he wasn't vital to their success.
Bit too big.
All these United fans and not one person has said Salford, christ all mighty.
Wembley on Saturday, first time ever, potential to get into the football league for the first time in their history COME ON YOU AMNIES

So far, it has to be Sturm Graz
Oh in that case, if Derby get promoted let's adopt them.
Can their games be streamed?
Would have recommended JEF United last season for the J2 League. Finished 14th, scored 72 and conceded 72 goals in 42 league matches. A totally different outfit this season though.
Nagoya Grampus should be fun to watch this season in the J1 League... but they have a Mata clone named Gabriel Xavier so it might not be ideal for some on here.
BK Häcken would be my pick for the Swedish Allsvenskan
No he wasn't. He left for United two weeks after the end of the season.
Arsenal.
Football Manager made me fall in love with San Marino Calcio in Serie D. Great club to follow.
Benfica
Shouldn't be a club better than us.
Good. While were going through a rough patch, might as well trim the glory hunters who haven't left already. And when we're successful again they'll crawl back claiming they've always supported United, through thick and thin. What a joke thread.
Haven’t we had enough grief?
OP is looking for a reason not wanting to jump off a bridge, not double the reason.
Got a couple for you depending on your state of mind:
AIK in the Swedish PL. Current champions and biggest club based in Stockholm. Huge following, fans are a bit mental sometimes.
Brommapojkarna in the Swedish Championship. Bit of a yoyo club but that's only because they field exclusively home grown players that have come through their academy and depends on the quality of their current crop. Every school kid in the greater Stockholm area will have played in one of their youth teams at some point as their youth set up is amazing. Olaf Mellberg was the coach recently but was replaced last season.
Norrköping, won the PL in 2015 on the last day of the season. From a small town based north of Stockholm, still push for the title each season but don't have the resources AIK have. Good underdog story with these. Same kind of deal as Malmö but they're a team from super down south, almost Denmark.

Could organise weekly AFTV/United Stand watchalongs and grief togetherHaven’t we had enough grief?
Hashtag United F.C.
Sturm Graz, Willem II, Real Betis, Hoffenheim, Parma, Auxerre, Young Boys
A few random names in there from around Europe. Everyone would have heard of them with little knowledge (majority of us)

Following another club for a bit of fun to take your mind of your actual shit club means you don't support them? At no point did I say it meant stopping supporting United. Might need a stool to get down from that horse. I also vote Sturm Graz. We played them four times and won all four games. They're in the Austrian top flight so it should be possible to find streams and highlights of their games. There is also a sizeable German-speaking contingent on the Caf who can help.
Parma! They're back in Serie A
Brommapojkarna could be good!
This is also good, their games would be streamed.
Is that the case? I take it their season looks very different to ours then? Wasn't aware.
Aston Villa for me anyway
I'll set a poll up soon.
Toronto FC anyone?
We need to do proper research and due diligence here.
I suggest going back through the World Cup Babes thread, finding out which club they support and asking them for some background over Instagram. Or Tinder.

I won't actively support another team but there are a few I have affinity with.
Rangers cause my dad and lots of family support them. And one stand/road is named after my surname
I grew up in the North-East and was a ball-boy for years at Newcastle, I always root for them except against us and I think it would be brilliant if they had some serious investment and became a big player in the league again.
And I like Porto, I have bought their home top for years for 5 and 7 a side because they are things of beauty, I like watching them.

, I like watching them.SpVgg Greuther Fürth. It has weird capitalization and umlaut.
FC Köln is a bit of a special club. Let's support them
Going to one of their games this month!
The Strongest.
I mean, the name alone.
I mean, the name alone.
Gets my vote. I’ve gone to a couple of their games recently. So I can sneer at out of town fans, who don’t understand the matchday experience.
So for the poll, any others?

Parma - Back in Serie A
Sturm Graz - Austrian Bundesliga
