What sports men/women/teams do you follow. I am enjoying watching Andy Murry's rise up the tennis rankings. I watch the NFL=Denver Bronco's NHL=Detroit Redwings NBA=who cares
I have a soft spot for Brighton and Hove Albion FC, have been to a few home games since moving down here.
But my #1 sports team is the mighty Liverpool FC, big game against Barca on Tues. COME ON YOU REDS! :P

I'm not really that interested in watching sports, it all seems a bit dull. I enjoy playing some though, mostly badminton.

I'm not a big fan of football but I do like to see English clubs do well in Europe, so good luck Liverpool :wink:
My favourite sport is F1 and I support Jenson Button of course, the best of English :lol:
I love watching boxing but don't really care who wins so long as I see a good fight.

Sometimes i like watching good english football teams like Arsenal, Man united, chelsea, liverpool etc but enjoy playing it alot more. I do also like to go and watch my favourite club when they have a home game.
I also take part in Golf Fishing and Snooker quite alot in my spare time.
Watching gold on the tv in pretty boring though!!

He's having an amazing start to his F1 carear, just hope his good run continues and the car remains reliable. Yet again Button has a disappointing race lol
I'm a big football man. I support Spurs and play for a couple of local sides too. Apart from that I also play tennis occasionally and will watch a bit of F1.

I'm into Footy alot too, Although i support Leeds, i know i know we arn't doing so well atm. I play with my mates at least once a week and i'm shortly going to be playing for my brothers football team. I just love playing it, great thrill of scoring and just having the ball at your feet. I also like to play a fair bit of squash with a local club. Football is almost too fun to play.
Yeah I agree, there's nothing like a hot sunny day having a kickabout with your mates. I forgot squash! I play that occasionally too. Great fun.

Very funny, so you could say your a bit competative lol?
I remember turning up for school cross country running in my normal uniform and a nice warm coat because it was minus degrees and snowing. I had no intensions of running in that weather like a ****, so the PE teacher made me stand there in the snow and what for everyone else to run the bloody coarse...d'oh

As soon as I saw the 1882 in your username I wondered if you were a Spurs fan!

I wish. I'll be sat here at work, 6:30pm till 6:30am. Listening to the radio and reading on the net. recording it on sky+ so I'll be cracking open a cold can at 7am to be able to watch and concentrate on the game. Not sure how much sleep I can tomorrow. The nerves are really kicking in.

Yeah, I've some tough times supporting my teams; also I have had brilliant day like when I travel to Nottingham in February 2006 expecting nothing special but the game finishes 7 v 1, simply amazing as I can remember.
