OK, for me, I would have probably pumped for Spurs. I always had a bit of a soft spot for them mainly because of some of the great games Burnley had against them, but this isn't about Burnley. you have to forget who you actually follow, it's about who you would follow.

So I think it would be Arsenal. I think they play a great style of football in a fantastic staduim. If not Arsenal, then possibly QPR. I went there twice last year and despite the ownership farce, they seem a nice homely club.

would have to say Arsenal for me ;)

then poss Charlton. I think a good topic would be which team out of London sides do oppostion supporters hate more then other london sides. What i mean is that when im watching London derbys that dont involve tottenham the crowd songs tend to be "If you hate tottenham stand up". This is more then other teams.

I lived in London for about a year and had the same problem.

I went to a Millwall game - half because of the rep and half because they have been the grounding club for alot of good aussie players. Think they managed a draw with Woking. The standard was awful but the crowd was entertaining.

For me it would be Queen Park Rangers.

I've always had a soft spot for them and love their shirts with the blue & white hoops!

Yeah, they were high flyers in the mid 1970's under manager Dave Sexton and were actually First Division runners-up in 1975-76.
Gerry Francis was one of their stars of the era.

Incorrect, Wimbledon FC moved to Milton Keyens and became the MK Dons, in protest to being moved the fans of Wimbledon FC formed the own team AFC Wimbledon and they are still in London, just an out of intrest point, Mk dons recently handed back any thropy or achievment earned by Wimbledon FC to AFC Wimbledon.
