I played every major North American sport as a kid. Now as an Adult I'm getting real hip to Football- having a storied club in my hometown doesn't hurt either. Other than the Timb's I have favorite clubs in almost every European league. I base my fandom on pop culture. Being that music is my first love, I base my love for Arsenal on the fact that both John Lydon and Ray Davies are Gooners, hence I am as well. I also love the Fall, and Mark E. Smith is a Man City fan, so I kinda gotta' soft spot for them as well. (not being MAN you helps their case doesn't hurt either) The band Can were from Cologne, so I dig FC Koeln in the Bundesliga. Igor Calvera is a Palmeiras supporter, so I dig them as well. I've also been to Rome and loved it- I ain't no goddamn fascist so AS Roma is my Serie A club. Despite my support of international clubs- the timbers are my main club. American (Association) Football DOES have a long way to catch up with the rest of the world, but we're comin' on strong, especially in the Pacific Northwest, the land where I was born.

I also dig baseball, despite my avowed hatred for the Sounders, I love the Mariners. And being from Portland, I have been a Blazer fan since before I was born. And until Portland gets an NHL franchise, the Habs are my hockey team (I majored in French)- but I'll still root for the Portland Winterhawks for the time being

I also like HIbs in Scotland, on account of my being an avid reader of all of Irvine Welsh's books. They kinda suck, but I'm a sucker for the under dog. Being raised Catholic, I should be a Celtic fan- but I don't like their kits, plus religious factionalism is retarded. SO f**k BOTH celtic AND rangers! Glory glory TO THE HIb-IES!

Thanks for the welcome, fellas. See you on the pitch!

Oh and pardon the typos.... I was high off my gourd on coffee

Welcome! Seeing as you're a Timbers fan I must ask--what do you think of Eric Brunner? When he was nabbed in the expansion draft I was heartbroken (Columbus Crew fan here) as I had just managed to finally meet him that May, and I've watched a lot of Timbers games since. You guys are great fun to watch.
Also, a Blazers fan, eh? I'm not an NBA kind of girl but keep an eye on J. Dielber, eh? He's a good kid

Rctid bro. Need some more Timbers fans up in here (:

Good to see a fellow Football fan from the North West. Can't say I agree with you on the Timbers part though, Sounder respect!
