Ok, the English Premiership is about to restart and seeing as we had a thread about who to support in the Bundesliga, it's only fair we do the same for England. I'll get the ball rolling, c'mon the Villa!!!!

Norwich City have had plenty of green strips :greengrin

I've a soft spot for West Ham and Norwich as they've both been local teams for me, but I wouldn't say I've really adopted them as there's only so much damage one person can handle...

Everton!

long suffering supporters. When they inevitably fail to beat Liverpool in the forthcoming derby it’ll be 22 in a row. I feel a kinship with them

also a fabulous old traditional stadium, for now at least

If Arsenal beat Man City we could clinch it at Goodison.

John Mcginn to play out his skin for the next 8 games to earn that big money move. Not fussed about the rest of it.

You could always follow the lower leagues! The Posh were on fire before Covid-19 came along, handily placed in 6th, just 3 points off the automatic promotion places and a goal difference of +28. Up the Posh!

Note: obviously this is a futile exercise as League One clubs voted to end the regular season last week and we got bumped out of the playoffs on PPG in exchange for Wycombe who'd plummeted from 1st to 8th in the preceding few months. If that wasn't annoying enough - Wycombe's game in hand that made all the difference was a postponed away trip to runaway leaders Coventry. If Ivan Toney now ends up with the Huns without playing another game for us I may just call time on football. Anyway, our extrovert Chairman was as chuffed as you can imagine :faf: but the toys have since been neatly popped back into the pram while we get on with preparing for next season. As it should be, of course.

Back on thread - I'll be following Villa for obvious SJM reasons.

For me my English team is Sunderland the reason purely that I watched Sunderland till I die to see Jack Ross and fell in love with the passion and community shown by the support which really reminded me of the hibs support and the key role hibs play in the leith community

Hope Man U fail to get into the top 4.

after their cuddling up to the lesser greens Liverpool FC can rot as far as I’m concerned. They’ll win the league this season, hope it’s another 30 years before their next one

Arsenal. Pointless looking elsewhere, Red Hibs kit, always has been.
And they had a beautiful green away shirt in 82/83 too. Much better than anything Liverpool or Manure came up with.

I was going with Peter Withe but happy to stand corrected.

Though in this time of lockdown, but also probably in the height of his playing career, Withe possibly carries a Top Trumps advantage for facial hair.......

I am an Arsenal man too. My first time seeing them was at Tynecastle. My best friend was a HOMFC fan and I went with him and his dad to see them in a pre-season friendly in the early to mid eighties. My abiding memories were that the Arsenal players just looked bigger and stronger, and the bit of the Wheatfield we were sitting in had lots of graffiti from Aberdeen casuals!

I think HOMFC actually won the game but I don’t think Arsenal were overly bothered. They did bring up a small but noisy support. I was a child so had no idea, but I suspect they had a good night out in Edinburgh.

An away top I hope… Villa's home top is an appalling colour.

Do most of us not already have an English team? I certainly do.

Based on our German selection, Aston Villa will want to avoid us picking them

I used to dislike them, probably because they were winning everything but I've seen them in a different light since reading Roy Keane and Alex Ferguson's books. Loved the expectations and standards demanded of the players, had to be on it from the word go in training. Turning up on time wasn't good enough you had to be early etc. There were plenty that couldn't handle it but the ones that did became legends. Not sure that's so much the case these days sadly for them. Don't really follow English football but I'd pick them.

Oxford have made the league 1 playoffs so give them a cheer if you can.
