Well how do you know where we may have been born or lived and no matter where that is, what does it matter? If it did, there would not be much point in asking the thread question, would there?;)

Yes, then there's City and Utd as well, so trying to sort out Satuday fixtures so there aren't too many rival fans converging on the Manchester area must be a bit of a nightmare.

How many teams are there? And they all do not like each other? They are in different leagues I hope.

In the Bay Area , there are the Athletics (oakland) and the Giants (SF) But then I hear there are some other sports too.

The A's and the Giants have a Transbay Series. The A's almost alwys win the the bloody thing. I would be a Giants fan:mad: Did I mention the jinx I have on teams that I like? Soon as I focus on one, they collapse like a house of cards.
 
In English football, there are basically four leagues, the Premier League, the Championship, League One and League Two. Below that is the Blue Square Premier Table.

The top twenty teams play in the Premier League, which includes Man U and Manchester City. Each team plays the other 19 twice, plus assorted games for the FA Cup and, if they've qualified, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League (which is probably the top club championship worldwide). At the end of each year, the lowest three teams are relegated or demoted to the league right below them and the the three top teams in the latter league are promoted up and so forth. Thus, the the worst three teams in the Premiership were relegated to the Championship while the best three teams in the Championship were promoted to the Premiership. As a rule, most promoted teams only stay up for the year as playing in the Premier League is very, very tough.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

When I was a lad they used to regularly knock seven bells out of each other, pleased to say it is much more civilised now, but there is real rivalry underneath.

The only exceptions are the top four English football teams - Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool - they were in a position to have more money - so they got into the champions league with more TV money and now nobody seems able to catch them and break into the top four/champions league and stay solvent - Leeds United put out a magnificent team and broke in a few years ago but had one bad season and went bust.:eek:

There are no rules like in American Football to even out advantages (wages level and first pick of the draft etc) and deep pockets really count.

The net result is those four play each other, almost always beat everyone else and nobody else cares a fig what they do - but love it when they get beat occasionally.:D

The real league is the rest of the league.;)

When I was a kid, many teams had a chance of winning, not any more. Three times more chance of relegation though - My beloved City were masters at it - but we still had 28,000 average home gate in the third division (League two) and we were rubbish.

That is something about the English football fan, they do stick with their team no matter what in general - there are limits though.

Mad dogs and Englishmen..................:rolleyes:
 
Rugby
international - All Blacks
Super 14 - Hurricanes
provincial - Wellington

Cricket - NZ ,although I firmly believe we should give it away and start
tackling people at least then we might be in with a chance.
 
Sporting Lisbon ( soccer ), the team that brought up Ronaldo and Nani!
 
Yay!!!! A fellow Cub hater and just to think, I grew up on the Northwest side of Chicago.
 
USC TROJANS in each & every sporting event. But for the more obscure, the CSC Cycling Team!

Fight On,
Beaufighter
