Brighton
Although they are not in London, I do have a soft spot for Palace. It's called Quicksand.

Seriously, none.

West ham brought up there, am a JCL to Brighton can't say it was due to new ground as had no idea it was being built. My partner introduced me and I feel in love.

I hate going to West Ham due to the crowd more than anything else it's scummy, last game I see was Villa there 4/5 years back and watched 6/7 people rip a man of his motorbike and beat him. Swore to myself I will never step foot there a ground. Baring spreading ashes of family who still are season ticket holders and have been for all my life.

I always watch there games on tv and streams can't afford Brighton games and never on TV so just watch them.

Also have a major soft spot for Charlton.

Coming from North London, Barnet are my second team and I used to watch them quite a lot when I was young. Hardly go these days but was at Burton to see them survive at the end of last season as we finished a weekend earlier.

As for the Premier League, it would have to be Arsenal as I like the way they play and have a lot of friends who support them but am not too bothered. I would much rather they won the league than the Manchester clubs or Chelsea but that isn't likely these days!

Chelsea. Yes, I know. But my Great Grandfather was a Chelsea fan, lived in the area and was a soldier in the Westminster Rifles in the First World War. He survived The Somme but was killed shortly before the end of the war. Had he lived, I may have been a Chelsea supporter. But my Great Grandmother moved south and hence I am a Brighton fan.

My father (born in 1916) was a lifelong Arsenal fan, and although I know a lot of people have no time for Arsene Wenger, I think he has an integrity which few other premiership managers have.
My Brother was born in Chelsea.
And - I hate to say it - but I lived the first 15 months of my life literally in sight of the Crystal palace, or where it had been, in Sydenham, because it was burnt down in 1936..

Spuds. My dad has followed them all his life (he is a Londoner) my fiancée is spurs as are her entire family. My kids are Albion though.

Of all the London clubs the atmos at White Hart Lane is at least passionate.

Chelsea, but that will end next season when we're sticking three past them.
