FC Utrecht.

I tend to like weird players like Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Pierre van Hooidonk, and Jan Koller.
My all time favourite, non-City player, will have to be Stefan Schwarz, though (had a spell in Sunderland at the end of his career).

I have a soft spot for Aldershot Town or Wimbledon (not MK Dons) as they were my local teams. Fav player would prollee be Terry Henry or Bergkamp, current player would be Messi.

I'll be watching with my footy team (or at least the few of us not going) in our club house before our training later tonight.
So you managed to get a ticket to the away game! I've heard a lot of people who didn't get any ticket, and quite a few of them had already booked their flights.

Fav player is by a mile Totò Di Natale, heart and soul of my Udinese (even though hard times are ahead for us in Serie A until we tell Guidolin to go home and never come to Udine again.

Next Monday night I'll be at the Olympiastadion in Berlin to see my German team play against the Alemannia Aachen in the 2. Bundesliga as a reward for helping my gf with her moving into a new apartment.

Yeah think it was sold out within a couple of hours! There was a queue in the shop even here in Amersfoort so fuck knows what it was like in Utrecht itself. Apparently the club are trying to sort more tickets though, seeing as Liverpooh won't sell out anyway. Think there were about 3 people and a sheep at the Bucharest game

Dunneymonster but my favourite club that isnt city is arsenal. Just the amazing football you see them play, its rarer these days but even so you still see goals that you rewind to the first pass watch and just think WOW.

Wenger is also my favourite manager even over mancini. The guy is such an arrogant twat i can't not like him. Only french person i've ever respected aswell.

Paulo Maldini for passion, loyalty and dedication - normally there's at least one of these missing in the modern footballer.
Zidane for all round play.
Messi for sheer attacking brilliance.

Stoke - for proving that football does not have to be beautiful... or even played on the ground.

So far so good, fingers crossed they will be back where they belong by the end of the season - how has Lell been getting on so far?

ARSENAL - any person who does not enjoy watching an arsenal performance when they are on song is mental. Still remember at Maine road when they absolutely terrorised us and even our own fans clapped Henry as he took a corner (I didn't) and the roar when we scored a consolation at the end of the game what quality. Fav player was Henry I've always been a huge admirer of Beckham (in an England shirt)
