If someone's kicking a ball on my tv, I'll have it on in the room.

I'll watch closely if it involves West Ham, obviously, but will gladly watch any other game that's taking place.

I'm the same. I'd watch a Sunday league game if it was on tv.

I watch lots of other games - but I almost have some bet riding so that gives me an interest

Interesting that no-one else has admitted attending Matches involving Not City.

I go to the Roar over here near every game, mostly as my live fix. Will go to Australia games when in Brisbane as well.

On tv it's a bit different. I'll watch "big" games, but to be honest if they're boring I'll turn over at times. I don't mind the highlights shows and love the WC, but regular games have to have an attraction to get my attention.

Yes, I probably watch 5/6 televised games every weekend. I go to see Rangers now and again, a lot less recently and Linlithgow Rose, my local junior side.

At this stage of the season, watching neutral games that hold no direct interest becomes less pleasurable and I probably start to watch less of them. I'll watch the rags and Chelsea this afternoon, us tonight and then either a spanish game or a Serie A match depending on which one appeals more.

I don't use the TV for stuff other than football.
I can say I watch enough football.
Traveling though, I'd only travel to watch my local team, City, and Barca.

Yesterday I went to watch FC Halifax Town beat Chorley 1-0 along with 1500 others and thoroughly enjoyed it. On the tv I pretty much watch any live football that is on

I used to be a season ticket holder at Swansea. I'll pop along to the odd match abroad (hoping to go and see Mechelen in the next few weeks if I have the time), and try to go and see the Bosnia national and under-21s if they're playing in a neighbouring country, or I'm over there.

In a word, no.

I may see sections of games and keep abreast via here or Iphone, just to see how things effect us.

But football without City in the game is not for me.

I use to watch a lot of football, but it's getting less and less. I watch all City games, and I follow the EC and WC very closely. Apart from that I go (very rarely) to watch Utrecht at home, and if I'm home alone I watch the Chumps.

It's partly down to me having lost a bit of interest, partly down to the missus bitching too much about me spending too much time on football (I play myself as well). You gotta choose your battles wisely ... If I watch less other football, she can't moan about me watching City.

The idea of living somewhere and not having a football team to follow is unthinkable for me. I watch Jubilo Iwata at the stadium when I can get there, which unfortunately isn't that often. Wherever I have lived I have always needed to watch some football, usually a local (ish) team. It doesn't reduce the amount I miss City or the City-watching experience (which for me is far more than just the match), but it does occupy my mind off for a bit. And, the old softie I am, I have grown fond of my "other" teams that I have watched over the years - AS Nancy-Lorraine, Norwich and Jubilo.

yes i can, just watched rags v chelski, but for obvious reasons.

watched Arse v barca just to see the kind of footy that barca play and wow it was simply great to watch. dont just watch any old game, has to have something to it i.e wanting one team to lose to help us out etc....

I'll watch pretty much anyone - I prefer live, but sadly can't really get to many live games of any type, so have to settle for TV/web games.

Don't watch anyone else except for City, especially 'big 4' games, just doesn't interest me at all. Same with England.

I love football and I love city...

Yet I struggle to watch full games of other teams.

I think it's coz I don't have a passion for them and I'm not rooting for anyone. Arsenal Barca game the other night however was class.
