Sell me your favorite football team!

@alexxedge (as a childhood Falcons fan) unless he’s interested in a lifetime of sadness and pain, I wouldn’t sell him the Falcons either

I'm not a big fan even though I live in a town of fans and where often all they talk about is football, but I love Fiorentina and the stadium, for a few years (when I went to university first in Urbino then in Florence) I missed very few games... I think everyone should see a game in the "curva" at least once in their life... go Fiorentina, one of the least famous but most likeable teams in Italy

Newcastle United, we’re not great but also not terrible. We sometimes look like we might win something but never do. Our fans are mainly amazing, but also we have some of the worst fans.

We have the richest owners in the world, but can’t spend as much money as other teams because of some complicated rules to stop anyone becoming the next Man City.

Our kit is sexy as fuck whilst also being one of the most boring.

Join us @seawolf , it’s never dull whilst also being highly predictable.

@Luijim78 - was in Florence last weekend but Fiorentina were playing away, sadly.

Watch videos of Manchester United in the 90's and early 00's and pretend nothing has changed

[T4920]

@AdamC watching Man U with my dad around that time was one of the highlights of my childhood! Much to his dismay, I lost interest in my teens, but seeing old clips of that late 90s squad in action still gives me goosebumps.

[AdamC]

@T4920 love that! Call me a glory fan but that is why I support them. Watching Cantona, Keane and then the class of '92 was an unbeatable time to be a football fan!

@AdamC @T4920 I think you need to watch the 'Invincibles' Arsenal team of 03-04 to really appreciate top footie! Plus you can watch videos of them then, and NOTHING has changed to today!!!

[AdamC]

@Steve hmm are you sure nothing has changed? We will see this weekend how invincible they are.

Over 20 years ago this was and not a league title since

[T4920]

@AdamC Solskjær was my hero after the '99 champions leagues final! In hindsight, maybe that why I lost interest in football, subconsciously I knew it had peaked, and that nothing would ever be as exciting as that game...

I also remember getting an award at school for a poem I wrote about Andy Cole, and reading it out loud in an assembly

[AdamC]

@T4920 Haha brilliant! Was it about Cole because Solskjaer isnt the easiest to rhyme with?

Im expecting a rendition of this poem tomorrow night please

[T4920]

@AdamC cole rhymed with goal, it wrote itself from there!

@Steve no can do, I was conditioned to view Arsenal as my mortal enemies! Only time I ever heard my dad swear was when he'd chat about 'Arsène Wanker'..

[T4920]

Only two times I've been invested in football since was the run up to Leicester's Premier League win/subsequent week long party in the city, and a random game I went to see in Hanoi, Vietnam where there were roughly 5 red cards, 10 ish goals, 2 fights and the crowd stormed the pitch after the game.

From what I understood, this was just a regular mid season game with no real stakes, and everything that occured was totally normal.

[AdamC]

@T4920 Sounds like we are selling @seawolf teams from the wrong continent

[ARNC]

Not a football fan but the game @T4920 mentioned sounds more like “proper” football. Not sure if the Highway Act of 1835 or the formation of the IFAB in 1886 is the point where it all went wrong. Probably no going back to the days when the only rule was no murder or manslaughter

[AdamJ]

Luton Town - you have to visit to understand!

[AdamC]

@AdamJ good job you aint a salesman mate

@Megatron1505 there are rules in place to stop anyone from becoming the next Man City? Is that to level the playing field so that nobody gets to that level, or so that Man City stays at that level and nobody can reach them?

Also, you've caught my attention. Newcastle United sounds like good candidate. Hmmm...
