No matter what I'll always have a soft spot for robinho, love the little guy.
As for fav non city team, easy one for me. Brisbane roar. In addition to giving me loads of easy work and two seasons of free tickets, they are also playing some lovely footy right now.
Next up.....

I love watching Messi play, who doesnt hey?
My second club is Oldham Athletic, I dont follow them as intently as I could when I was a lad but I often pop down to watch real football. I also watch out for Rochdale.

used to love Fiorentina when the likes of Rui Costa and Batistuta played for them.
I'd have to say my favourite non city player in the world at the mo is Diego Forlan.

Was hoping he would terrorise Ajax last night, but he was incredibly shit. Like really, really shit.
Anyway, obviously my fave non-City team is FC Utrecht. Got soft spot for Real Oviedo & Besiktas too.
Favourite non-City player is Mickael Essien

Glasgow Rangers, and as for player I'd say Iniesta or Xavi, both absolute class.

Have a soft spot for Blackpool, as I was born/raised in Cleveleys until I was 10 years old.
Favourite non-City player: Used to be Bergkamp. With the players we have these days, I don't really have any care for other players. I guess I'd have to say Fabregas.

I have a soft spot for Hertha (Berlin) - they play in the first stadium I ever visited as a kid (back when the Berlin wall was still up)

First ever football match I went to was at Altrincham. Always keep a look out for their results. They are buggered this year though and sure to get relegated from the conference.
When we were awful and going up and down the leagues or under Pearce I used to love watch Henry playing and enjoying some really good football.

I have a raft of sides who i look out for. but mainly Rochdale.
I also like watching Ashavin, wish we'd signed him.
Fabregas is top class too.

Have a few clubs that I keep an eye out for, one being St.Pauli in Hamburg, went there twice while over visiting Germany and loved it. They've just got up into the Bundesliga this year. And I like two clubs in Italy- Livorno, and Roma to a lesser extent because I used to live next door to a fan of theirs and watch their games with him.
Favourite non-City player was Bergkamp or Zola. We were shite when they were in their prime so it was nice to watch real class every now and again to ease the pain. At the moment I love watching Fabregas, he's one of the select few in the world who can make it look as though he's on his own and under no pressure at all. Classy.
