Newcastle United... because I picked a team that means something to me rather than searching "most likely to win the league".
It's been the strangest thing to see unfold. I grew up with everyone supporting their local team no matter if they were in the Premiership or languishing in what we now call League Two. Yet these days a kid will have a Chelsea kit one year then the next have a Man City kit on his Santa list. Or hell, he'll even support both at the same time. Obviously the game is changing because its much more of a business now. And you also have a lot of international supporters who don't have those local roots. But still, I'd like to see more support for teams that have a strong identity and not just about who's got the newest billionaire owner.
Are you from the tyneside? You are right football is buisness nowadays, plus the social media also is affecting football. Teams like chelsea and manchester city dont have any significant history but you see them they have milions of followerrs on social mediq.
Oh! So we won. I don't really follow the EFL Cup Although I might watch the final if Southampton make it to the final. Rodriguez is probably my favorite Saints player.
I expect I'll be watching the EFL final now that Southampton are in the final... It's kinda weird having your team in the final of competition you don't like.
It is not a major competition but it is stull a troph so its nice. It will give them a confid3nce boost
