    So what sports teams do you all support? I am a die hard Baggies fan, [West Bromwich Albion FC]. They are my hometown football team and I have supported them since I was a kid. My dad supported them before me, as does my nan and my grandad when he was alive. My grandad took my dad when he was a kid, my dad took me and now I take my 5 year old son up to see them whenever I can.

    BOING BOING!!!

    I like University of Alabama football, those guys kick a serious amount of tail (don't tell my home state that). But any SEC game is fun for me to watch really.

    Liverpool FC, Orlando Magic, Miami Dolphins, Montreal Canadiens, Atlanta Braves. Those teams are my favorites; I follow the first three the closest.

    I got to visit Anfield (Liverpool's stadium, for those not aware) this past summer and it was such a thrill. To be able to be in the dressing room, and sit where the players sit was awesome.

    I'm not really into college sports, but I do like Boston College and Syracuse. Also, I'll generally root for any SEC team, with the exception of Alabama. Sorry, but I just cannot stand Nick Saban.

    I have no team loyalties. I just care that whatever I'm watching is entertaining. I couldn't care less who is playing or who wins/loses.

    I just don't like football :confused: Whenever I've seen clips, all they do is pass the ball around for ages, spit everywhere, kick each other etc etc, and rarely score a goal. :eusa_doh:

    Snooker on the other hand, I love.

    I also like to sit down in front of the snooker with a nice cupper and some biscuits for dunking. My favourite way to laze away a nice day is to sit outside in the sun and listen to TMS.I love a 5 day test match. Bring on the ashes.

    I could care less about sports. I wish I was more interested in them though. Half the time I just don't understand how the game and points work and stuff. My dad and brother are hardcore Dallas Cowboys fans. They take it way too seriously.

    The University of Texas in everything. Anyone playing Alabama in football (I like seeing their whole reason for living go up in smoke). For some reason, I really like Andy Murray. I root for American and French tennis players and anyone playing Roger Federer. I don't have loyalties in pro sports, and everyone seems to hate the Dallas teams (which would be my default since they were the closest major city to where I grew up).

    Leicester City and Leicester Tigers, but city mean more to me.

    The baggies are looking good this year and are the best team in the midlands at the moment. I hope we can change that soon. WE ARE GOING UP - hopefully :confused:

    Totally agree there is something about listening to 5 day cricket thats relaxing especially TMS for some reason it seems much better than watching it on sky.
